- Pushing 3 differently-priced wireless audio kits to their limits! All these 3 were rated for a range of 100m, so I took them out for a walk.

as someone with an amateur ham radio license I know that antennas like the transmitter and receiver have radiate outwards in a 'donut 'shape - meaning there's a hole in the transmission in the direction you point the antennas- meaning though the saramonic receiver cold shoe mount allows to mount on top of the camera it makes you point the antennas directly at the talent (where teh camera is facing)- ie pointing a hole in the reception towards the talent- if you really want optimal range better to mount the receiver so the antennas on the receiver are somewhat parallel to or at an angle to the transmitter antennas- just not pointing directly towards the transmitter antennas..
^^^ This. This x 100. Thanks dude!
Excellent real life testing - no one else has gone to such trouble.
This is such a great video, really shows the distance these pics can go which is very useful for people who want to do prank or social experiment videos.
have been looking forward to an audio review. thanks.
Mind blowing test for every penny.. Thanks bro
In an open space with barely any obstruction from other signals and buildings or structures, this is not a useful (real world) test. However I appreciate the time and effort :)
Nice test. Love your videos! But for the price the Saramonic really did quite well.
Shout out! Good video man
powerlines created the interference... very high EMF area... you need to do it away from high voltage... radio/microwave towers.. basically anything that broadcasts or creates strong radio or magnetic waves.. im sure you can tell the 2 higher quality mics died directly underneath it.. this is why weather is closely monitored for military interactions.. the high charges and suden discharges of electricity creates havic in wireless communications..
Nice test. Think you should also do a similar one in a busier area like in the heart of the city where various interference become a factor. Thanks for the effort!
thanks in advance but, WHAT WAS THE SETUP FOR OUTPUT POWER ON THE SARAMONIC.?? on G3 or RODE you can not change that.
Hi, Do the same test in the city. See what happens. Thank you.
agreed
There are 3 levels of the radio power at Saramonic - basic level is the medium. Try test at the highest!
Great Video, do you have the same test inside a bulding?
How long is that range ? Why wouldn't u mention it in your video ?
test it in the city please.
well i really like the sound of the one that isnt the wireless, which mic were you using ?
Ah was just considering these three sets, this video couldn't have come at a better time! Btw did you happen to be at the Short Shorts Asia screening in MMU the other day?
I was there :) Was part of the crew actually :)
haha oh my, I spent so long thinking whether the photographer was really you
Haha, did you travel all the way down here for Short Shorts?
No haha I'm actually studying next door to MMU in Southampton
Oh cool! Hit me up for coffee someday :)
This helps for video creators that are incognito stuff lol.. the only thing that sucks is where are you going to hide the brick of the Rode Mic lol
crazy Sennheiser G3 is about double the price of the Rode.. they need to step up their game a bit
Why do you think an area surrounded by power lines is a good place to test this?
Great video
I'm wondering how the power lines affected your tests.
it help great thanks
can I put a sennheiser mic or an RODElink lav mic to the saramonic Tx?
A really bad comparison test. You should do it indoors or around buildings. The results will not be the same. You'll get great range, line of sight with any system.
interesting video but why on earth do people keep testing 300ft from camera - who on earth does that? 99.5% of film makers will be a few foot from the camera or in the same room - maybe 20ft in a field?
I'm looking at a system to capture a referee in a sporting scenario. I need something to operate at 200ft + FYI
Thanks for your informative video, please try the SONY D11
Very good video. Why use wireless than let say using zoom h1 with neck mic ?
There's pros and cons to both, I'm actually in the midst of editing a video that explains the differences :)
Using a wireless lets you capture the audio with the video at the same time. No need to synchronise the audio with the video in your editing suite. That's not much of a problem with a long continuous shoot, but if you have lots of small clips, then it becomes a pain to sync in post.
Hm, near to the high voltage:)) May be it's a disturbong factor:)
Would like to see the Sony UWP compared as well.
The Sony UWP series are on a par with the Sennheisers. I've used the Sonys for years. They are reliable and bullet proof.
Be sure to buy the models that use the 500 MHz band. I see the 600MHz models which are still for sale on Amazon. They will be out of compliance with the USA FCC after July 13, 2020. This goes for any UHF wireless mics.

power lines ..make a difference?
Justin Huang yes
good
Alsome!
Wi-Fi range cut indoor shoot
Rodelink is not good mic
I alredy baught Rodelink mic
Using 1 year not Gud mic
Pointless test. Professionals would never be that far away from their receiver.
Useful as a comparison test since all three mics were tested under the same conditions. The Rode and the Sennheiser outperform the Saramonic, so user other conditions one could expect the same, though the distances may be different.
martinXY you speak in general not specifics. Rode and Sennheiser are pro audio companies with years of experience in Microphone technology so they should be better. His test of walking far away out of camera frame is pointless. A better test would be walking around a crowded area where people and other radio frequencies can cause drop out. Please see my video on wireless monitors to understand
Working a reality tv gig I found the range on my wireless systems recently. Host and celebrity guest at one end of a track around a football field and contestants moving around the track. Luckily the cameras all were set to follow the contestants so once I passed the limit of the radios I didn't need audio from them. Still would've been nice to monitor them in case there was something interesting in the conversation. It can all be used in reality tv. So under some conditions you could need the best range possible but rarely.
