Thank you for the mention and shoutout.Fulaim Been in business 5 years, DJI 17 years, and Rode 56 years. and Amazing how they become in those years. And while the Mic was $159.99 and dropped to the lowest price $114.99 you get everything to start out and more. I almost felt like in the television when the kids were answering, they were not overpowering and heard, something you do want in mics not to have it all on one level that won the show. I am like minutes away from mine, Where are you X5.2? Excellent, Bravo. as they say the best sound you got is what you have on you at the time. Excellent presentation the Fish
Great test and video, Steve. Blessing to the family too, have cute kids. You video is very useful, I am using this same mic, but the brand is Mailada, exactly same but just different branding. I use them to record my gaming session with my kid at our channel.
Still one of the best reviews I've seen, & I've watched a ton more than last time! I've had an X5 for about a month now using it with my iPhone 12pm and CinemaP3. I've found it distorts a bit with gain set at 4 so I've backed down to 3. I've been surprised that noise cancelation works better than Lumafusion Voice Isolation! But I'm no audiophile. I haven't tried the internal recording facility yet. Blessings
As a non-audiophile, one of the BEST reviews of the X5 I've seen (& I've watched tons)! Covers everything without getting 'distracted' by unboxing like most others. It's the sound that counts. Also, you're the first to describe the benefits of Gen2 and the improvement to the Lightning connector volume wise. The wind muff works perfectly unlike some much more expensive mics. Noise cancellation is better but I get better results with my Lumafusion voice isolation which is CONTROLLABLE! [I've now revised that opinion after further testing].
Great review. I am always playing with my sound. I’ve had a few wireless systems but always end up going for wired. I honestly didn’t notice any switching at the beginning.
Hey buddy, question. When outdoor vlogging with the action 4 and the x5 what settings should i use? Mono or stereo? What gain should i set the action 4 too? Do i need to use backup audio setting? Anything else you can think of please let me know. Your channel rocks btw🎉
If you are using 2 mics then stereo. 1 Mic use mono. As far as the gain you just need to set it where it peaks in the yellow zone. Start your gain around 0 or plus 1
Would I be correct in thinking this then? I record podcasts on the fly (mainly at work in llunch breaks or times when I'm twiddling my thumbs). I then edit them at home in Logic before uploading them. Currently I'm using a handheld XLR Mic plugged into a Zoom H5 recorder so as you can imagine its a whole bunch of wires and bulk to carry around for someone as simple as recording voice. I've tried using my iphone but I'm still running an iphone XR and the sound just lacks compared to the Zoom and Mic. I was lookng at the DJI over the Røde wireless GO II as the features and sound quality were superior, but the price of both the Røde and the DJI mics are more than I feel I need to spend. I came across the Comica C3 at half the price and thought I'd found a winner, but the styling for me just looked dated compared to the DJI and it doesn't have the internal recording as the DJI does. Now I've come Fulaim X5 at an even lower price in the UK than the Comica AND has internal recording, so I'm thinking, if the Fulaim has internal recording, will this make an ideal comapct alternative to my Zoom set up with the same sound quality as I'm currently getting but for a fraction of the price? In all honesty, the Fulaim looks like a replica of the DJI Mic IMO.
Very close to the DJI and the sound recorded internally is great. I don't know if it is better than your current set up because I have no experience with the Zoom H5. However you can use a lav mic with it and record internally in this tiny transmitter. I am very happy with mine.
Can i connect and control the X5 only by ny iPhone 14 pro? Without cam? If yes, does it record on the iPhone? Would be top 😉 best cinematic greetings from germany my friend
@@SteveWB I've tried it through the Fulaim transmitter, better, and it's even better direct to the iPhone. Sure it's not wireless, but comes with a useful extension cable.
@@SteveWB yeah, they emailed me about it and I almost didn’t accept it but I was like what the heck I’ll try them. Glad I did. They were great to work with. Just sent me them with no demands or anything just asked if I would make a video on them.

Thanks Fish Could you tell the difference in the beginning between the rode and the X5?
@@SteveWB After rewatching I noticed the circle and still can not tell the difference Amen
Best noise cancelling and wind muff test I've seen on TH-cam! Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words and I tend to use the Voice Isolation on Davinchi. It sounds less robotic.
is amazing that mic
So creative!
Great video review with wind test and vlog test...might have to get myself a set!
👍🙌wow Technology has advanced so much & thank u for this Steve 🙌👍👏👏👏
Great review. I am always playing with my sound. I’ve had a few wireless systems but always end up going for wired. I honestly didn’t notice any switching at the beginning.
I was pretty surprised by the result. I don't like remembering to turn them on and off again. I always forget.
I love my X5 but I agree that a cheap wired lav (PurplePanda at £20) gives better sound.
Can the Fulaim USB-C connector be used with the Rode Reciever for direct connection to an iPhone 15 Pro?
I would assume but can't say for sure.

I was looking for something cheaper than the DJI that was just as good - thanks for giving me my answer!
You will not be disappointed! I was in the same situation so that led to me buying this and I am glad.
Best review. Congrats
Thank you so much 🙂

Now that the iPhone 15 is out, does the receiver provide data pass through transfer for recording LOG with an SSD?
I do not know sorry
Good explanation and good test with the wind test
Thanks so much! It is a good mic!
I'd like to see you review the Insta360 Flow gimbal!
I will try the next version. I used my budget on the OM6 this year unfortunately.
@@SteveWB Bless
hello is it possible to charge receiver while using it?
Yes
thank you very much for reply! best to you!@@SteveWB
friend, does it work on a samsung S10 smartphone?
It should but I have no way to test.
obrigado@@SteveWB
Wich software you use for post ? I,m on windows :)
Davinchi Resolve Studio
Is this compatible with the android.. Samsung S22?
yep It comes with the adapter too.
Awesome sound Steve 👏 can I make an interview with two persons with this X5? The sound is great 😅
You can use both mics at the same time so great for interviews.
@@SteveWB thanks Steve 👍🏻😉

You made a great video, personal I think these mics sound cheap.
Great review!!!! Now go clean that pool and the black around it Steve😂😂😂😂
The paint is flaking and I rent so it is up to the landlord lol
@@SteveWB Good answer, great demos!
How does it ocmpare to Comica Vimo C3 ?
The Comica transmits further. The Fulaim has internal recording. As far as sound quality they are both good I think.
@@SteveWB Thanks !
The case btw should be bigger to hold ALL the accessories 😢
I love my new Fulaim X5. Just here for 3 days.
BUT...
My £20 wired PurplePanda lav pushes out better sound at 20% of the price.
I may have to order one of those and try it.
@@SteveWB I've tried it through the Fulaim transmitter, better, and it's even better direct to the iPhone. Sure it's not wireless, but comes with a useful extension cable.
👍🏻
This looks familiar lol 😂 It’s a great system. I have this an the DJI and I got rid of everything else lol
Oh you got the version 2! Lol 😂 They sent me version 1 lol 😆
It is but for the record I already ordered and was doing research when I saw your video lol
@@PaulFeinberg I had to buy mine
@@SteveWB yeah, they emailed me about it and I almost didn’t accept it but I was like what the heck I’ll try them. Glad I did. They were great to work with. Just sent me them with no demands or anything just asked if I would make a video on them.
@@PaulFeinberg That's Awesome! I just saw they have a more expensive set.... Maybe they will email me lol
Wind-muff off? Noo, Wind-muff oon it is! Hellooo everybody you can beat T Pain's donkey!!
