Dang, seems like a good deal if it's really reliable. The Wireless Go II from Rode is like $300, and I'd still have to spend like $90 for each lav mic, and charge them all separately. Love Rode's customer service, but the value is really nice from Godox.
Excellent review ! I am now subscribed ! I was looking at the DJI wireless mic but is very expensive compared to this one. Most videos on wireless mics will be forward facing. Did you try the max range with the mic facing the camera ? Walking backwards instead of facing away?
Thanks for this - in SE Asia I have to pay shipping & duty fees on top of the retail price for Rode products. For some reason, the Godox Movelink does not have the extra added fees.
For the price, the range, the quality, usability, battery life, etc, this will definitely be a perfect choice. I don’t own a lav mic, but I’m sure I’ll end up needing one in the future. Therefore, this is a great choice for me when the time comes.
It drove me mad to see a VCR blinking at 12:00. I'd always change it most of the time lol. I am in the market at some point this year to get myself some mics and start doing some video work. I'll had this to my list of things to consider. Thanks for the testing and sharing your results! Always appreciate your videos, keep it up my brother! Greetings from Alabama ;)
Hi there! I have to say, your video rather depressed me. To see that something so thoroughly thought out, researched, produced, and well performed, could only have a hundred comments gives me very little hope for my own channels. Your video was tremendously helpful and I now feel like I am adequately suited to decide on whether or not it should be my next wireless lavalier system. So, if the likes and comments aren't enough, I hope my sincerest thanks helps to bring it to bear.
What a coincidence--I am looking for a wireless mic system and your review sealed the deal for me. I especially like the in-case charging capability, builtin or lav mic option, and the stereo-mono features, as well as the informative screens. Amazon, here I come... Thanks, Chris!
Haha, loved the VCR comment. On top of that, programming the display was useless if you had to unplug the darn thing from time to time! On the mics: yes, something making the receiver pop out of the 3 little boxes would've been so helpful. Excellent review, great job as always.
I love your videos and choice of content. I also have Fuji system, love it, Godox lighting compliments it perfectly and to see them stepping into this market, defo on my purchase list.
I am missing the backup function that Rode WGII offers. Especially when the receiver loses connection: you grab the audio from the backup within the transmitter.
I picked up the M1 on Adorama on a 1 day sale for $100!!!!! I do wish the screen was flipped on the transmitter though. When you’re looking at it in the hotshoe it’s upside down lol
Would be interesting to compare with the Comica Boom X system as looks very similar. Also, how long did the battery last since this was the biggest negative of the Comica version. Also how was the usability better than the Rode Wireless Go equivalent?
I noticed at 2:30 in the screenshot of info that Godox claim that Wi-fi and Bluetooth will not interfere with transmission. Since your transmission test was probably far from such other transmissions, I wondered whether you saw any evidence of interference while you were in the studio?
Hi Pal2Tech. For the audio quality test section, what is the setup ? Did you directly connect the godox receiver to the X-T3/X-T4 or did you use an external recorder ? In case you connected it to your X-T4, can you share X-T4 parameter for external mic ( -x dB) ? Nice and useful video as always. Regards
I always watch or your Fujifilm videos and I don't have any experience in mics and I have yo buy 1 today and comparing between this and virso m2 Can you tell me which is better?
@@pal2tech I was wondering the same. A 2ft +/- stride with 130 steps without a drop would make it 260ft range in a straight line without obstructions. That's really, REALLY good for a $200 system.
So, Chris, what’s a VCR? ;-) Just joking. Excellent use of your daughter to assist. Hopefully my daughter will be as helpful when I ask her to do similar things!
Did you test the distance with your daughter facing the camera? I think the reception would be a bit better without her body blocking the signal. Also, is there any internal recording that covers you if there are dropouts?
Interesting. I always use my Rode Wireless Go out in the field. But I had to glue the deadcat to the transmitter otherwise it would always fall off. How is the mechanism for attaching the deadcat for these Godox's? It's not a dealbreaker if they are kind of fiddly, just curious. And thanks for putting this out!
Great review. That was a good use of a daughter👍 I think if you had put the transmitter on her back pocket you would have gotten the full range. Still an impressive distance though.
Hi Pal! What do you think is the best gimbal, today, to use with a Fuji XT3? I had a zhiyun and had very bad results, especially with the app and with the compatibility of the gimbal-xt3 controlling the camera. Thanks in advance.
Question obviously. I am not a professional videographer at all. But just curious if I brought this and down the track got better lav mic would that make the sound better through the mic. I think it sounds better with using the unit without the lavs
oh shoot. I just watched a video on the dji system, and I love it, but it more expensive than the Rode System. This is cheaper and honestly has all the features I would need. Not having the local recording to the transmitter is a little disappointing as I always like to have a backup, but I can get back up audio other ways like having a good quality scratch track.
It looks good, but there's a slightly harsh texture to the audio from both the lav mic and the internal (strangely enough the internal mic sounds better to me). You might want to plug in some nicer lavs into the system. It is definitely pretty good otherwise
My kit seems to get audio dropout around the 25 foot mark with my back to the camera. I'm dumbfounded as to how you all testing this and getting this amount of range.
Hi, I use this unit paired with my Sony ZV-E10 for my vlogs and for live reporting. I never experienced any problems when using it for vlogging however, the Transmitter and Receiver will disconnect with each other after 47 mins. of broadcast. It won't reconnect after a while and goes back to normal if I don't use it for awhile. I don't know if this is a signal interference problem or a battery problem since they usually disconnect if the receiver battery level is not full. Can anyone help me with my problem because it's really troublesome when it disconnects and you can't use it for awhile. Thank you so much.
Hi Chris, i wanted to ask you about the signal delay when the receiver is connected to the camera. Did you notice any delay? In another review they mentioned about a 50 milliseconds delay, wich meant the audio was slightly out of sync.
Nah! Range is an over-hyped specification. Getting maybe at most 50' away from the camera doesn't exceed 98% of us. Congested UHF signal? 2.4gHz is WAY more congested than UHF. The single channel Rode 2 is the optimal value now as it records at both locations which is very important to 1A folks who get their stuff taken by the police all the time. Once DJI offers a single channel option, it's all over for the Rode wireless microphones until they "retool" and offer a 3 version.
Godox not paying you any, but surely godox should pay cab fare to pick up and return your daughter back to you . . And a glass of ice tea . .and a new pair of shoe

Don't forget the extra $40 for 2 magnets from Rode. All these other companies are providing those magnets for free or built in :(

My favourite channel. Related to camera.

Exactly what I was looking for
Quality product, well impressed with how they have made them simple and user friendly… great review thank you.. 🇬🇧
Hello sir, nice review. How about the battery life?
Would be interesting to compare with the Comica Boom X system as looks very similar. Also, how long did the battery last since this was the biggest negative of the Comica version. Also how was the usability better than the Rode Wireless Go equivalent?

Thanks, Chris this is a very useful unit one can afford especially that Rode is so expensive, and even better the accessories are a big bonus!

Great review. Thanks for your hard work. 👍
Have you heard if the new Dji Wireless Mic? They should be coming out in a few days. If you wnd up buying a set, will you do a review of them?
I always watch or your Fujifilm videos and I don't have any experience in mics and I have yo buy 1 today and comparing between this and virso m2
Can you tell me which is better?
The sound soo smooth. I love it 👌🏼
I wonder what her stride length is? Mine’s aboutb2.5 ft. I just knew the distance test would have that Pal2Tech flair! 👏👏👏
It's 13-year-old with lots of attitude, LOL. Extra long strides.
@@pal2tech I was wondering the same. A 2ft +/- stride with 130 steps without a drop would make it 260ft range in a straight line without obstructions. That's really, REALLY good for a $200 system.

Excellent use of your daughter to assist. Hopefully my daughter will be as helpful when I ask her to do similar things!
Yeah, it was an awesome time. I had to play the 'dad is a TH-camr' card on that one.
Having your daughter help was definitely a good move - super cute.
Thank you great review!

Great review 👍
But I like the sound quality of Rode wireless Go 2✨
You think this mic is better than the BOYA BY-WM4 Pro-K1 & Movo Photo WMX-1??
I skipped through the presentation .. does the transmitter have internal recording? What about low level safety recording?
Thank you so much!
i guess the question is, it doesn't have onboard recording like the Rode go ii ?
Of course not bro, that would be some extra 150 bucks.
Great review. That was a good use of a daughter👍 I think if you had put the transmitter on her back pocket you would have gotten the full range. Still an impressive distance though.
Thanks 👍
Hi, I have connected my zoom h2n and godox movelink 2, as a result there is a constant annoying noise, do you know what is the problem? Thank you
Try replacing the cable with a better shielded one. It solves the issue for most people.
Hi Pal! What do you think is the best gimbal, today, to use with a Fuji XT3? I had a zhiyun and had very bad results, especially with the app and with the compatibility of the gimbal-xt3 controlling the camera. Thanks in advance.
I have what's kept my cheap LG G7 or G8 because it has a real mic jack. It works great.
Question obviously. I am not a professional videographer at all. But just curious if I brought this and down the track got better lav mic would that make the sound better through the mic. I think it sounds better with using the unit without the lavs
Great price. Great kit. Plenty of range. 👍

Is it recoding internaly also like Rode ?
No, you have to connect to camera to record to that or a separate external recorder.
Thanks!
What a great assistant!
With back turned could see it cutting out. Did you do a li e of site test?
It looks good, but there's a slightly harsh texture to the audio from both the lav mic and the internal (strangely enough the internal mic sounds better to me). You might want to plug in some nicer lavs into the system. It is definitely pretty good otherwise
Distance reception is likely better if subject is facing toward camera/reciever.
hi, is there any latency between audio and video?
thank you
Looks good!
(Sounds)
How do you compare the audio quality with Rode Wireless Go?
My kit seems to get audio dropout around the 25 foot mark with my back to the camera. I'm dumbfounded as to how you all testing this and getting this amount of range.
What app on smartphone to make stereo left right separately?
Does this come with what is needed to hook up to an iPhone 13 pro max? (If you know)
Super neat thanks for sharing :)
No problem!! 👍
Very good review
It was gonna more distance if she was walking backwards. Her body being in between the transceiver units obstructed the signal the further she went.
Do you have time to review the Ving V860III Flash? Sure would appreciate it.
What about back up audio option ?

is there a way to hide these microphones in clothing or they have to be visible to function properly? Thanks
Please review the Fuji X-E4...
I love this video!
CAN MORE THAN TWO MICS BE PARIED TO THE RECIEVER
Thanks!
Wow!!! Dave thank you so much pal!!!! 🙏 🙏 Very much appreciated and really helps out the channel!!! Have an awesome weekend!!!! 👍
@@pal2tech No. Thank you! I'm still pretty new to the FujiFilm system, and your channel has been incredibly helpful! Keep up the great work!
@@pal2tech Hi Chris, still can't work out how to put dough in through this part. Did paypal but this should be easier?

your (no longer so little) girl is lovely, great job! you definitely made me check out the price on amazon! :)
Thank you!! 😊
bought by aliexpress (to CHILE) GRACIAS
Lost you on this product after "built-in lithium battery" ... great review though!
Can this record Internally?
No, it doesn’t have an Internal storage nor micro sd space for a card
Does it has onboard recording?
No, you need to record to external monitor.
Happy World Photography Day Brother
Compact, easy to charge, long range, perfect for getting your kids to exercise lol, at the end....great wireless mic. Thank you for this review.
Not available in India 😢😢😢
Tiddly winks. You've just given your age away!
that poor poor girl. Exercise in the name of testing product quality.. HAHAHA... very good job guys
If you face the mic to the receiver it gets much better
Aaaa, how to add chanel rules in comments 😲😲😲
Already listed as DISCONTINUED on all sites less than a year after this video was made.
You're the best
Poor young lady 😅😅😅
Hopefully she got a bonus allowance! 😅
i hv a M2 and a M4 and Mq and MX MDx p 0 99999 is even better
Can't judge the self-noise because you kept talking on all the recordings.
Looks like she was counting steps, not feet! In that case, 100 steps would be great!
Good point!! Yeah, on average it would end up being even further!!
Godox not paying you any, but surely godox should pay cab fare to pick up and return your daughter back to you . . And a glass of ice tea . .and a new pair of shoe
LOL UR gear is Smarter than you, HAHAHA 1:57 you thought there was no BATTERY
I imagine u Americans measuring in squirrels lengths in the woods
I feel bad for her daughter :(
Good review tho, i like it.
And your viewer could tell someone was speaking ? 🤡
