10:27, title caption says DJI Mic2 (Wirless) but you're using the Godox during that part of the test. Also, the GoDox sounds a little more "canned" in the tests for both unsurpressed noise cancelling as well as the noise cancelling modes. Becomes more obvious in the Outdoor tests towards the end. Ideally you should test all the same phrases.

[@jasperborst3388]

@@undifinder6643 sony actually made one for the mi hotshoe, but it is not compatable with the newer generation of sony camera's. i think it is because the sales of that EVF were not great and (i think) the reason of that is because the higher end camera's already had an EVF so the sales were only for consumer camera's like the dsc-hx60. and to buy an expensive EVF for an consumer camera didn't make sense. even today it doesn't make sense to get one for these old compact zooms.

Excellent comparison. I own the DJI mic2 dual mic set + DJI LAVs, and the DJI Sony adapter. It's great to see more manufacturers using the Sony Mi hotshoe for digital audio. After listening to the back to back comparisons with my reference headphones, I'm relieved to hear that the Godox is very tinny sounding compared to the richness of the DJI and Hollyland. But I'm not mad at that because the price difference can't be ignored. Great job Godox!

[@danielmartinphotography]

Agreed 100%

[@sunflowerdeath]

Why it always take years, almost DECADES for camera companies to figure out such obvious things? 😅😅 Now, how many years to wait when they make it possible to connect it with a cable, and not mount on top of the camera where it blocks from using many cages and top handles?

[@lawrenceliuvaie6331]

Patents and licensing my guy…

[@sparkestudio]

Yep I know that one all too well, luckily the on camera Sony interface comes with a rather long cable to place a microphone / interface in another location from that hot shoe MI interface so I can still use the handle with the cage... I just dislike that the cable is soooo long, 4 inches/ 13cm would have been fine but it is like 1 foot long / 30cm

[@seanp2k617]

what’s even funnier is how it’s built right into the Osmo Pocket 3 and Osmo Action 5. When DJI drops their mirrorless it’s gonna hold the industry’s heat to the flames. I’ll bet that’s part of why they’re begging regulators to ban DJI in the US, just like how US auto mfgs couldn’t compete with Japanese light trucks so they implemented the chicken tax.

Hollyland I think has the fullest sound Dji is great, just bulky though I really like the ability to use an external mic. Godox is tinny and has significantly less low end. Wonder if you can use EQ to tone it out better or if the recording bandwidth just isn't there.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you can tweak it for sure.

[@TNRVG]

You read my mind! I was looking for an alternative to the DJI Mic 2. I actually found a huge flaw in the Mic 2 when hooked up to an Action 4 (and maybe 5 Pro). In Pre-Rec mode the Mic 2 will time out and turn off. Leaving you with no audio an hour later when that fish decides to eat your bait. My next fishing video is a voiceover video... 🙄 Edit: a mic for my Sony ZV-E10 ii (yes I got the 2 instead of 1)

[@harryvuemedia5106]

Dji's innovation is the reason why i went with their Mic 2 microphones. I love Rode Go-ii but DJI had me sold on the Mi hotshoe adapter. Its a huge game changer especially with my fx3. I can dont have to use an audio cable and i can keep the transmitter charging. Good to see that Godox went the same route with their wireless mics too. Rode needs to do the same on their future Go-ii mics or get left behind. As of now, I am waiting for DJi or Sony to release a transmitter that can connect up to 4 wireless mics. 2 is not enough anymore especially when these mirrorless cameras can record in 4-audio channel.

[@sparkestudio]

One thing these comments are missing is how good these mics sound for the price paid and on top of that there is likely a licensing fee paid to Sony. The value is technically a clear win for Godox when looking at the price to performance.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Oh cool!!

[@MarksUkuleleTips]

I understand that the convenience factor of going wire-free is appealing, but the biggest asset of the hot-shoe for audio is that it bypasses the crappy 3.5mm mic jack preamps, which is where lots of audio quality is dropped, and the audible noise floor is introduced. I'd love to see them make a 2 or 4 XLR input module, with optional phantom power, and really good preamps, that attaches via the hot-shoe. They would sell a lot of them if they made it. That way folks could attach any mic they want to their cameras without losing sound quality.

[@sparkestudio]

@@MarksUkuleleTips ummm you mean the Sony XLRK3M? Or you mean something else? The interface is kind of large and over priced I think and the Vocaster Two I could swear has better sound quality for far less money.

[@MarksUkuleleTips]

@@sparkestudio The XLRK3M is ridiculously big, and costs €672.14. It's not great for most people, just to get good audio into their camera. I was talking about a way to get audio into your camera without having to use the noisy 3.5mm input jack. The hot-shoe is a way to bypass that, if they make some devices that use it in a practical way. You could avoid having to record audio to a second device and syncing in post. You could use one device (the camera) on location or in studio, whereas an interface would have you tied to a computer for audio so would be only suitable for studio use. Do you know what I mean? Have you tried the Vocaster? It looked interesting for podcasters.

[@DanishAliGlobal]

Great video as always. As a creator who makes dramedy and webseries content of late, I’m interested in wireless mic solutions that can be hidden with a lavelier mic rather than the obnoxious “rode” or “godox” billboards the actors have to wear as mics. For me the start of pro quality audio starts with a senheiser me2 lav which is a locking ring pin, so that immediately eliminates Godox, Dji and Lark. Only the rode 2 pro? has a locking ring but I haven’t tried it yet so stick to my bulky senheiser wireless mic pack. Hope the new generation of wireless mics incorporate locking ring ports for this reason as no serious influencer other than daily vloggers are going to use their giant branded bulky, and therefore in my opinion useless mics currently, or use their proprietary lavs without locking rings as there is not enough R and D to beat senheiser lav mics who rule the roost on this one.

Hi Mark, great work and all helping with our channel too! Quick question, the DJI Mic 2 sounds a little flat, unlike mine - I wondered if they were running the most recent firmware update! It made my DJI's sound significantly better!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - latest firmware. Sounds a lot better now, but it tends to have more low end and be a little less bright than the hollyland. It's only noticeable because it's side-by-side

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

It may just be me but I never had an issue with plugging in a short cable. They are extremely cheap and works with all mic interfaces

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@brodtkunst]

Lavelier microphones and such small pendants all have the same thing in common, they have small capsules. Therefore, the quality of the internal camera microphones is similar. So when such small microphones have to record a large dynamic range, they quickly reach their limits and tend to overdrive and you can hear this all the time. I'm just wondering why these microphones of all things are enjoying a boom on the market. Personally, I would like to see the development of better reporter microphones like the Rode Interview Pro, for example. Ideally, I would then be able to swap the capsules between the omnidirectional and cardioid characteristics and then also be able to record 32bit internally. But be able to record and monitor in the camera at the same time. Two channels like the Comica VM40 would be ideal, they have a similar solution with Shotgun. The whole thing linked with timecode, simply perfect.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

These lav mics are much better than internal mics just for placement alone. On someone's chest (which creates a much richer sound with the voice resonating in the body) and the fact that the mic is so close to the mouth. I've done tons and tons of tests of a cameras internal mic to someone wearing a lav. The lav wins every time by a lot

[@brodtkunst]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I am aware that there must always be qualitative differences. In addition, the scope becomes clearer and more defined near the source. Nevertheless, it is physics that sets the limits. A lavalier is smaller and therefore has a smaller space of possibilities at its disposal.

I feel like it wouldn't take much work on DJI and Sony's part to make sony cameras record quad channel through the hotshoe, and to connect 4 DJI mics to the reciever. it likely requires hardware upgrades, but it's cool to think that we're not far off quad channel recording being that simple.

[@ElectroMedia-cs9ek]

Hollyland , they sound very natural and clear

[@RetiredInThailand]

Holly land sounds different (maybe better, better higher voice range) while the DJI & Godox sound pretty much the same to my older ears (68,) but not $200 better sounding, so unless I were to need the safety track, screen, magnets of the DJI (and I don’t, but my job doesn’t rely on any of that) or had a better budget (I don’t,lol) I’d have to go with Godox (unless Hollyland, is a better value with sound, features & price … which I don’t think was covered other than just sound?)

That would be awesome. Might be hard to have internal record g in such a small transmitter

[@sparkestudio]

@@DavidWinstead I asked Hollyland about some upgrades for the next Hollyland lark max including about the Sony MI hot shoe, locking lav, 32bit float and more. I think Mark is correct internal recording for M2 would be very hard with the size but the camera hot show interface now that would be possible. The thing with 32bit float actually requires extra complexity which means it takes space to do it. Rather than one 16 or 24bit decoder we are talking about 3 of them. Basically 32bit requires physical stacked chips working together. i believe it was Curtis that has a video weeks ago showing how 32bit works at the hardware level using a simplified description. I am actually disappointed by the DJI Mic 2 sound quality. My DJI mic original sounded better and the firmware update might improve clarity of spoken work but at the cost of adding sibilance "sssss" sound emphasis.

Does the digital audio feature of the Godox mics work on other cameras or is it just for Sony cameras?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Just Sony

[@CharlieVN]

My guess on the reasons why this isnt well known is because the audio quality takes a hit, similar to the DJI version..... they had a previous version and the audio did produce a significant amount of noise, and I'm highly confident that the audio is recorded as analog rather than digital.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the Godox and the DJI with adapter overrides the Sony mic settings, which is the same thing that Sony's own hot-shoe mics do. So it appears to be a digital signal, but did you mean to say that the audio sounds better analog than digital when using DJI?

[@CharlieVN]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis right, godox sent me the previous version, and I combed the documentation to see whether it's a digital or analog signal, no information found, and from my testing with sony's hot mics is that the analog signal is noisy, while the digital signal is clean, and this was with one of sony's analog hot mics? I forget the model, but it was an analog hot mic and the wired sounded better than the analog signal (both technically analog signals, confusing, I know), but it also defeats the point to buy a hot mic and use the wire instead..... to clarify, the mi hotshoe can pass either analog or digital signal, and not mentioning what type of signal is passed, I can only assume that both the DJI and Godox pass analog because that would be a highly advertised feature if otherwise.

The walking shots was the sony 11mm apsc on the zv-e10ii. The seated outdoor shots was the 15-25 G on the ZV-E1

i thought this was about Sony getting an A mount battery to E mount inlet adapter or a huge A6700A revamp where they added a better hardware (like 1/8000 mechanical or a joystick) I am disappointed.

I haven't heard any such rumblings at all

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis well Sony can screw themselves then. I was hoping for an APS-C BSI sensor on an A7IV/RV like body with a 2K finder and a 1920p screen but no. I am still under the good old dilemma: Sony A6700 or A7IV? I am a hobbyist but I do a lot of wildlife and aviation, I demand good AF and a crop sensor, but I also love low light scenarios and astro, so a full frame sensor suits me more. The A7RIV is a good all rounder and the fixed screen ain't a problem since I can just use IEM on the phone, but all my lenses are Minolta and A7RIV is only compatible with LA-EA4 I'm very inclined to get the A7IV, but I'm afraid the 14mp crop won't serve much if I had to crop an aircraft a lot... AAAAAAAAAAAA

The noise cancelling is surprisingly solid, doesn’t seem to meaningfully diminish the sound quality in the higher frequencies which is usually the unfortunate effect of noise cancellation.

I was pretty impressed with it too

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis how’s the NC on the Lark M2? I agree that the Godox NC was very impressive. Those are on my buy-it list! Greetings from far too hot Florida!

I disagree, that noise noise reduction is too harsh, it degrades the audio quality with that recognizable over processed warbly "quality". They have a great product, having a 3.5mm lav input and internal recording would be a great added value.
