Hey, I'm living in China where the DJI and rode2 have a big VAT added and domestic brands like synco and boya are significantly better value. You're the best channel I've seen that covers these brands and was wondering how you'd compare the xm6 s2 and the symco, which both run just over $100 USD here. Appreciate the content -- have suscribed

[@annaH488]

So refreshing to see a video filmed NOT in a home YT studio! Thanks for going to the extra effort!

[@HikingWithCooper]

I finally took my Synco G2 out to play today. Filmed an almost 2.5 hour memorial. Sound quality is fantastic. It did require a little denoising in Izotope but that only takes a minute for that length of a clip. Simple use, the display is very clear and easy to read. These babies just work!

[@TexpatOTG]

When you switched to teh Synco, it sounded better than the Rode to my old ears. Has a crispier mid to high I think. Good review. The unit seems to have all the features one would need.

[@makkisoomro]

Getting synco after watching this review, before i was thinking about rode

[@mailhra8297]

YOU CORRECT ..... I WAS ASKED FOR RODE 2 THEN DIETY NOW BETTER AUDIO WITH SYNCO PERFACT

[@fabthefab75]

Old ears indeed. This pack is one notch beneath the rode in terms of medium highs and indeed have a bit more rounded bass response. It's obvious if you are accustomed to sound. Nothing that any good EQ cannot fix. BTW i own them both. The real plus is the price. If you choose Rode, you have to buy two lavalier extra...

[@TexpatOTG]

@@fabthefab75 Have you had a chance to check out the Comica, with recording capability in the transmitters? I use Tascams DR10's for mic-ing up so am used to that ... don't have a wireless setup yet. Cheers.

[@bu5hm4nn]

Actually the background noise of the Synco is a lot more annoying, at least in the example of this video

[@zukkiridesmoto]

I just bought these today in Amazon before I watch your review about this product. Great review. Now, I can't wait to get the package. I almost went with the Rode Go 2. Thanks.

[@BirdYoumans]

At 79 I no longer have my 18 year old ears. But I've been involved with sound and music all my life having been a performer and an engineer and producer. I am no longer touring but I make vids for my youtube channel in my little studio that I downsized in my "retirement" from my larger commercial studio that I ran for many years. Having said that, as I listen to these on some near field monitors, they sound very good for the money. I have a plugin that can remove any sound other than the voice and it is magic so the extra noise will not be an issue. I wish they had onboard recording but at this price point that would just be over the top for value and not expected. But I still do a program for youtube where I play a couple of my music vids and then philosophize a bit and thought I'd come out of the stone age and update my way of getting my voice into my camera. I've been using an old lavalier wireless, but the wireless is only from the mike to the receiver which is quite large from much earlier tech. Still have to plug it into the wall and use a wire from there to the camera and this negates using it in "the field". I wanted these because of their absolute simplicity. After watching a few vids, yours included, I ordered a set and am looking forward to moving into the modern era and make life a bit simpler since I also make other types of vids as well that would benefit from not using the on camera mike. Thanks for your revue. It was helpful!

[@davidbanfield3280]

Great review. Nice to see real world scenarios

[@TheBrewQ]

I just ordered this wireless system. I’m pretty impressed from your video. The sound quality seems the same as the Rode.

[@londislagerhound]

Got this kit, incredible for the price.

[@iblstudios7774]

That distance test far exceeds my needs for wedding videography. Wow

[@digitalcreativestudio9202]

Extremely thorough tutorial. Thank you!

[@headsandtailsheadsandtails4313]

Very impressed, so just ordered one, thank you sir for vid..all best

[@daprincehwc]

the synco sound like a condenser mic, while the rode sound like a dynamic mic, noise rejection is better on the rode, probably because the synco sound brighter it attract more noise.

[@HikingWithCooper]

These appear to be decent, especially at the price. Probably going to hold out for the dji mic though to avoid that noise, get the internal recording and the charging case. Plus the display on those is really nice.

[@michalwalks]

I love the Rode wireless system, especially how it can be set to start recording as soon as it is turned on.

[@adnan_velic]

There is noticeable static in the syncos. You need to adjust your gain levels on camera plus the syncos properly. Other than that the syncos are great.

[@SouloSwang]

I will have to say that I was struggling for a few months on what to go with!!! I have been stuck on the blinks and Rodes until I came across the Synco brand , the other version with out the scree.. it had mix reviews very little said good and some were just down right saying don’t buy it. The Rode had seemed to be winning!!! I am always open to hearing a great review even after maybe hearing 5 reviews before that we’re not soo good lol 😂 just to not miss out on something!!! When you compared them to the blink pro’s you immediately grabbed me and when I heard them with in the split second of switching over from Rode to Synco. The sound on them were great and I’m not even using head phones? Which i normally am doing, coming from a musician and producer perspective as well as music artist I need to see the quality of sound because I am live a lot on my platforms with other artists and others in the industry so my sound has to be A+. So thank you for this great Video. I will Most likely go with this pair over the blinks and the Rode!!!

[@SouloSwang]

I ended up going with the blinks 500 pro.. I love them. Thank you for a great review though

[@YiHogyun]

sold - just bought one on impulse.

[@TheCultureofCookery]

Appreciate the thorough review! I was in the market for the Rode Wireless Go II, but got one of these as a Christmas present. Glad to see that it's still a great choice. Apprecaite it!

[@dazo556]

This is a amazing review thank you

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

Thanks for watching!

[@RideWithRoy]

I came across your excellent review while considering the Rode system. I am now trying to come up with reasons to buy the Rode instead of this. - and I can’t. Indeed, if both sets were the same price Synco scores higher due to being supplied with all of the accessories. I make cycling content and often interview someone riding next to me, so this would be perfect. I shall be buying and have subscribed.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Sounds fantastic man....The video quality is the top notch clarity I hope to get one day!!! DSLR. Peace man. Awesome video well informed on this product now!!

[@TheSeanBampton]

First!! That autofocus at 0:16 was slooooow, lol. Good review and I'm looking forward to hearing how these hold up over time.

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

I have it set to slow and locked on, on purpose. If you prefer faster you can use the default settings or change it in the menu

[@nolidcreations]

Are these good for filmmaking? Do you connect to the camera or audio recorder?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

If your camera has a 3.5mm audio input you can connect it directly to the camera which is how I used it in this video.

[@robertdaly6209]

I have the Blink 500 and have found unsing a digital recorder like the Olympus WS 822 has much better fidelity than wireless mics and is cheaper too. I can usually find the on Ebay for undsr $50 and get a nice lav to go with it.

[@socalduran]

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

[@kapilgoyal5799]

@4:41 there is suddenly wind noise coming in Synco vs. Rode

[@allthingsgardenbuildings]

Hey , so I took them out of the box, charged them and used them for the first time today, with my s21 ultra phone. I'm paired, but im getting a hiss sound behind my voice, any idea what I could do to stop this?

[@Direct19681]

Other KZbin reviews of this Mic system did not work as well as your distance test did. So you never know what effects a particular environment may have on the transmission.

[@ahmedanwar87]

nice review.... do you recommend these over boya wm3d?

[@alanabley525]

Thank you for this, I recently received having bought on sale at B&H. I'm testing and have found a couple of issues that you don't mention. The most worrying is I've often muted the transmitter accidentally and it's so easy to do. Do you know if you can override that? Secondly, something more minor is the furry wind muffs just don't stay in place, it feels like wind gust would take them off. Enjoy your channel.

[@NeelSayonD.Unplugged]

The Transmitter A lasts for 12 hr 11 min without mic. Receiver and Transmitter B are still working without any input to a video device and without any mic . 😮

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Great review! If you had to choose between the Rode Wireless Go 2, Lensgo dual 348c or this one, what would you choose and why?

[@efillisy]

Great review!

[@Polandmet_Meteorite_Videos]

for me too much base noice at volume 15. In loud place it may be not big deal but for some quiet unboxing videos its bad. I will try Saramonic 500 Pro.

[@RavindraSDhande]

64 steps far... thats how much... 160 feets thats awesome... this mic is real GEM....

[@mrbigdcampbell]

I hear a bit of white noise in the synco audio. How bad is it?

[@DungarooTV]

These are basically 50% cheaper than the Rode Wireless Go II, so overall great value but I think the little hissing sounds and poor visibility of the screen in bright sunlight is enough to deter me to save up and get the Rodes in my opinion.

[@grandtheftkannada]

Hi, i was about to buy Maono microphones but this video changed my thought, I really want to buy it but some people complaining about "mute" button, They claim a sudden touch on mute button will mute the audio. Is it that much sensitive to touch? Please suggest me, And you got one more Subscriber 😃

[@13zedart]

I turn my GoPro on and off regularly during a motorcycle ride. Does that affect the functioning of this device?

[@mikesvirtualgarage9917]

After watching this I'm torn between this and the Saramonic Blink Pro. There is at $100 difference, but is it worth upping for the Saramonic? Got lots to think about. Loved this review! Thank you!

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

The Saramonic is a really great pack and also offers more flexibility overall as you can change not only the input gain of the mics but the output gain to the camera. This is as good in every other way and slightly stronger when it comes to a distance test.

[@IanWheldale]

What's you view on this vs the Godox Movelink? They seem to be about the same price where I live in Thailand. Only concern I have about Synco is the screen as it's very bright here for most of the time.

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

I haven't tried the Godox, sorry.

[@dsenart]

Just a question, with it having an out port and a headphone port, could I run a cable directly into a camera so the audio is recorded directly from the out, and then connect the headphone jack to a speaker? I am going to be filming some basketball coaches workshops and I need to be able to use a loudspeaker to get the voice out across the gym, but also need to be able to film it with direct audio for online publishing. Thanks

[@sara_no_h_92]

Whats the difference between the Synco G2 and the Synco G2 pro? Just the charging case?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

I haven't tested the pro, sorry.

[@evansama9035]

Hello, for the receiver, can we input it in a mixer/equaliser in order to equalise the voice with low,mid,high, then output it on speakers or channel it to the camera,so that on the recording, we get an equalised sound?..let me knw pls.thanks

[@CCT065]

Very good and useful video, thanks! Would you have any tips / warnings re. connecting this mic g2 a1 to a macbook air with the M1 chip? Best cable, system or perhaps special software settings? Cheers.

[@imraxus]

I have this and it's good. Not the extreme best but for the price, it's affordable enough for most people. Quick question, have you ever used this with your laptop? I can't seem to make it work.

[@StopperChopper]

Very helpful... I just have a question... how long does the battery last on a full charge? would it last a entire wedding day?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

It really depends on the size of the battery. NPF batteries come in all sizes. You'll get a few hours out of the larger ones but the beauty is you can externally power these with any 5v power source like a phone charger, for example.

[@bastianstrick6613]

Hi. Thx for the review. That really closed the deal for me. Unfortunately may Transmitter seems to be not charging or turning on. I already got an exchange, but still not working. Anyone with the same issue?

[@mattcero1]

Does the receiver record? The Rode does so it's in a different class than the Rode.

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

it doesn't record no.

[@boisebroncoadventures]

Wow! Impressive!!

[@cowhidemusic8904]

I have the original Synco G1 A2 pack. I found that if I bend my head down and talk, it is easy to clip the internal mic when the pack is clipped to my collar. If I used the lavalier, then it would clip when playing a guitar amp in the room no matter the gain on the pack. So I never really liked these. Any better for the G2?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

If you talk or blow air into any mic it will distort, this is no exception. Maybe use the dead cat wind sock on inside as well. I usually leave it on most of the time (or just turn the pack sideways on your shirt instead of up)

[@ceejayfarley7]

Great informative video! Thank you for this. Just a question regarding to stereo test as you have used the in-built mic on it. Am wondering, if I will use a Y-cable 3.5mm TS / TS to TRS for livestreaming as a stereo mix, will it work? Thank you in advanced.

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

You can run the receiver in mono and that will work for live streaming.

[@marcoCrociLB]

hi thanks for this review, it's really great, one question, is it possible to output 2 separate audio signals from the receiver to record mic1 on one track and mic2 on another track? in order to have separate dialogues?

[@samraby]

Stereo. One mic goes to Left One mic goes to right You would just need to seperate in some sort of audio software

[@brionesb]

Just found this review recently while looking at wireless lavalier mic systems and found it to be very helpful. Has anyone out there used this system with an iPhone 12 series phone or something similar? I’m curious if this works well with it as I’m planning to shoot a vlog when I go on a trip next month and this looks like it would work great with 2 people being mic’ed up. Please share any experiences you folks may have.

[@DavidBerglund]

Does it record internally as well, like the Rode GO?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

No. I covered that in the video.

[@lavitastores2977]

How ideal is this wireless mic for church use connected to a mixer please?

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

It should work no problems at all. You might want to get a converter for a 3.5mm to XLR male connector for best results when plugging into a mixer.

I used this for a huge series of indoor and outdoor videos last year overseas and it performed great. Maybe send yours back and take advantage of the warranty before spewing rubbish.

I don't know about you being 'un-fit', but you do seem feeble and kind of sickly looking. Anyway, observational diagnosis aside - I'm almost tempted to buy one of those.
