Tiny Wireless Microphones - Rode Wireless Go vs. Comica BoomX-D2

[@yazeani]

very deep comparasion! finally a real and unsponsored review, thank you!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate this a lot.

[@mylesjarvis7571]

That my friend..... was an awesome comparison. Thankyou for this.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

That's great, thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.

[@bfjoutdoors]

hmm very interesting. the cutting out on the comica is odd. I have not seen this in other reviews. did you pinpoint why this was happening? it seems that your recording device was introducing noise as they are more similar than I would have guessed great review! thank you for your help I will buy these two as well as moman-c2 and run some more tests thanks!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Hi Devin, you might also want to check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6CTlK2oaN-Fhtk about the Lark 150 which is also a duo wireless set I recently reviewed. The cutting out: as far as I am aware that is just happening when the senders are both very close to the receiver. Otherwise it's fine.

[@stevenuk]

can you use a USB-C to Apple lightening cable with the Comica into an iPhone ??

[@OS-yf3ko]

There are definitely cables I’ve come across that allow this. It’s called a TRRS cable. Even just the basic dongle you get with the iPhone should do it. At least, that’s what I’ve come across in my research. I’ve been looking for over a week now and comparing several different systems. It seems most of them you just need a simple TRRS to lighting cable going straight into the iPhone. Comica has several other adaptors that might work for you in different situations, too. I’d check out their website but haven’t yet lol.

[@stevenuk]

@@OS-yf3ko actually I found out that Rode offer a few cables, SC15 and SC21 (I think) that are USBC-lightening that work with iPhone. The Apple lightening does not work.

Amazing comparison, very well done! Liked and subscribed

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. 🌸

[@LuckyStrikeTech]

What microphone are you using for this video?

[@PROSDIY]

Excellent video! Thank you for the information!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You’re welcome. 🌸

[@duykhiemphan412]

Can we detach the wind foam on the Comica lavalier mic?

[@idahofallsmagazine3691]

1:35 walking away from the camera -- that's a problem right there, isn't it? Turn around and the signal drops.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

So how do you work with mics when you have to move more in front of camera? Any ideas?

[@KayYasin]

Why people looks for things to criticise people who are giving us informations offcourse video is long he has right to make a long video so he can make some money as wel guys

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thank you, Kay, I appreciate that. Although, I usually don’t plan on making a long video. I just try to bring value and information. 👌 sometimes that ends up being longer than I thought. 😅

[@KayYasin]

@@ChrisSpiegl thanks and thats perfectly fine

[@angelsuniverse6021]

There is any lag in any of them when.connect it to a camera? Red some coments on comica....pls could u tell

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I haven’t experienced any significant lag. It works great. However, one thing. I have not tested long distances since that’s not my use case at all.

[@angelsuniverse6021]

@@ChrisSpiegl thanks

[@togethia]

depth of field is too narrow on your camera, for this type of work, use a smaller aperture and more light.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

[@Step-n-Wolf]

You could have swapped mics between receivers to test the mics separately from the system. Very thorough test. My tinnitus was louder than any "silence" :)

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thanks for the tips!

[@theyogabios]

Great review Sir. Thank you.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You're welcome 🌸.

[@defjam3079]

Is the audio quality the same if i plug the lavalier microphone into separate cell phones instead of the rode go?

[@1987productions]

Can the comica 2x transmittor able to be in mono and not in stereo? (For Live streaming)

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You can switch the setting on the receiver. Stereo means that both mics are recording to separate channels. If you switch it to MONO it then records both mics into one signal. You can then change the volume of one channel to be less loud (kind of acting like a backup recording) if you want - but that is of course optional.

[@joellemorris5684]

thanks for your review! Could i have a set of those 4 mics (and 2 receivers) working seamlessly on the same set without any signal drop-out?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Hi Joelle, my honest thought is: you would have to ask the manufacturer or test it. Because I don't know. I would guess it works, but I can not be certain. The only thing that I can say is that the Comica worked next to the Rode, so those two did not interfere on each other. Good luck and have a great day 🌸.

[@goch.tv-awr9308]

@@ChrisSpiegl Man kann mit 2 comica sets ( 4 Sender, 2 Empfäger) arbeiten. Sie stören sich nicht gegenseitig. Ich habe es selber ausprobiert.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@goch.tv-awr9308 Super information, danke dass du das hier geteilt hast 🌸. Immer wieder spannend was Menschen mit dieser Technik so anstellen. 👍

[@jaymagnus154]

i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@ahmirmason471]

@Jay Magnus instablaster =)

[@TheToneWork]

When would you ever use all three pieces right next to each other?!

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Pretty much never. But I thought it was important to point out because I ran I to the situation while setting things up and testing it out and was really confused - even thought my unit was broken for loosing signal. But turns out you just have to put things farther away from each other. 😅

[@houstonprofessionalphotogr2603]

I dont think you get both cables with the rode wireless go trs to trs and trrs to trs

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Not sure what you mean, can you clarify please?

[@tdata545]

​@@ChrisSpiegl Rode sometimes likes to use 4-Pole (TRRS; aka Mobile phone and tablet jacks) connectors for their mics. Their shotgun mics for mobile use was known to use that. SO, to accomodate people who'd hook it up to non-TRRS also known as TRS (or stereo jacks) or TS (mono-jacks) usually found on cameras. So Rode wired their mobile shotgun mic to use either end of their double male cable. One end was TRRS (for phones and modern cameras) and the other end was TRS (Stereo for older digital cameras or voice recording devices like the Sonys I love using). The Rode item number is SC7, RODE-SC7. hoped that helped.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@tdata545 Thank you for this information share. However, to my knowledge, you can't just use the Røde SC7 and reverse it to work with either mic. At least not with the Røde Wireless Go. However, then again… the Røde Wireless Go actually ships with the SC7 and the TRS to TRS cable so you can use it with phones and real cameras. Now, some other mics from Røde like the VideoMic NTG for example actually have some logic built in to be able to detect wether they should use the TRRS or TRS connection and work with just a TRRS to TRRS cable and are compatible with phones and cameras because of that. Sending some good vibes this morning and hope you have a great day 🌸.

[@CameraRay]

The no usb-c to usb-c charging killed it for me. All my gear and charging station is usb-c to usb-c.

[@therandysmith697]

Can you have 2 people talking at once, each with a lapel, going into the camera? 2 person interview style.

[@RondellKB]

This is the third video I've seen where the Comica has noise, it wasn't that bad in this video but in the other videos, it was quite noticeable

[@ChrisSpiegl]

I would not recommend the Comica any more. There are many alternatives which may cost a few $$ more but are worth it in the long run.

[@RondellKB]

@@ChrisSpiegl What would you say is a good alternative?

[@ChrisSpiegl]

@@RondellKB the Røde Wireless Go II, the DJI wireless mic set also sounds like a good one.

[@RondellKB]

@@ChrisSpiegl Nice, thanks!

[@YanFries]

Test should’ve been done by wearing 1 at a time. Having them beside each other will cause interference

[@ChrisSpiegl]

You’re welcome to do a better test, and also, I don’t hear the interference you’re mentioning. Aside from that, there is also good reason to do the test at the same time since that gives the most accurate measure in terms of having the same exact sound sample. I hope you got some value out of the video and you have a great day. 🌸👍

[@ershad_gh]

Thanks for the informative video. Just one comment: It's "Lavalier" ... not Lavier.

[@ChrisSpiegl]

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful. About your correction, I am pretty sure I have written Lavalier in the description everywhere. Where did you find the "Lavier" if I may ask?

[@theprofessionaldesignertpd]

{good job}
