    Update: I goofed on the IPX4 info. IPX4 is a rating for moisture resistance (not the wireless protocol). Doesn't change anything in terms of the review, just an FYI ;) Thanks for watching!

      In terms of latency, it's impressive in that they seem to have figured out a way to make it bluetooth appear to have no real latency issues, at least that was my experience. You can see in this video everything syncs real well with no added work on my end.

    A few times you mentioned there were All-in-One wireless systems from other companies which could connect directly to smartphones (without needing a receiver). Would you mind sharing the names of these products? The only ones I've been able to find so far are from companies I've never heard of. I would prefer an option that works with third party apps, and don't mind if the microphone is more bulky. Thanks for the review.

      I don't think that I refer to others that don't need a receiver, but I do mention that others, at least the DJI, will work with some third party apps. Take a look at this one amzn.to/4fa2aqR If I do mention that there are others without a receiver, please drop the timecode and I'll take a look, I might just be blanking on the details. That said, that DJI can connect without a receiver to its own products (action cams) Thanks for watching,

      @@RayOrtega The timecode where you mentioned there are others without a receiver was 1:23. This is the feature which is most appealing about this system to me, so naturally I was curious what the other alternatives were. I hadn't realized that the DJI Mic 2 could connect directly to smartphones (in the 1 video I watched about it, the person used a receiver). Thank you for the reply!

      @@cjhoyle OK, I must have been referring to the DJI that I linked to. They have the OSMO cam and an action cam just like a GoPro which both can connect to the wireless kit without the receiver. But like the MoveMic the limitation is a proprietary one. However, it should work with third party apps like IG but I haven't had a chance to test it myself.

      At 2:40 you can see the gain control in the app and then at 6:29 I talk about it in the receiver which is what you'd need if you wanted to record on your Galaxy's native video app. Essentially to pair these mics with your phone and not use a receiver, you need to use the MOTIV app. In my testing, the mic will not work with other apps via bluetooth only, other apps require the receiver pretty much like most wireless mics that are available right now.

    Hey Ray, thanks for the review. I just bought a DJI mic2 kit to go with my Osmo Pocket 3. I’ve been able to connect the Mic2 receiver to my RodeCasterPro v1 - but with meddling results. Having said that I’m still getting so-so results from the Mic2s that were in the kit.
    Yesterday I tried the Mic2 kit out with a small mixing board we use at our photo club - disaster - hollow voice in a cave sound with feedback so quickly gave up on that option.
    Do you know of the Sure mic receiver could be connected to a RCPv1 ?
    I have a two studio setup (desktop + demo studio) and was thinking the DJI would be a solution/replacement option for the Sennheiser GW3s I’ve been using - but it has so far been tough finding the right RCP settings to make it work.
    Hefty price or not, if the Sure worked better than the DJI I’d be all in.
    What do you think?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      OK, you sent me down the rabbit hole on this one, congrats! I also have the RCP v1 so I connected the MoveMic receiver to two different inputs and ran some tests. Here ya go! soundcloud.com/rayortega/sets/shure-movemic-receiver-to-rodecaster-pro-v1-inputs One thing I didn't mention on the recordings because I tested it after, is that since the MoveMic can connect two mics and output to separate channels, you need to use the phone input on the RCP to make this work because it is a stereo channel whereas the mic channels (of course) are mono.

    • @TheDeliveryDoctor
      @TheDeliveryDoctor 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@RayOrtega 😂 sorry about the rabbit hole, but many thanks for the quick audio clips. In fact while the audio levels were pretty low they were much clearer than what I’ve been able to achieve with my DJI mic2 on the RCP1. I too have the receiver connected to channel 4 on the RCP1 - using a Rode 3.5 mm to XLR dongle - and I used the Dynamic mic setting for the RCP mic. Was that the right initial setting?
      I’ve spent hours ripping through the rest of the settings, changing one thing at a time, then combos, as well as changing the gain on both the receiver and the mics - but still got nowhere near the clarity of sound you achieved.

    Ray, in your opinion, what's the best sounding wireless lav mic on the market?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great question and tough! Hard because they will all sound different on different voices, what your preference for tone is, and how they are used/where they are placed. But I also haven't tried enough of them to know. Even though I make fun in this video, I do like the other all in one options, it seems like the majority of what you see these days comes from these few companies. Before the MoveMic, my go to was always an old Tascam DR10L, the video is 5+ years old but this was the mic I still used for most of my video th-cam.com/video/P53IC1dj6Fw/w-d-xo.html But that's not wireless. Honestly I used this cause I got tired of setting up wireless and having to have batteries in both the transmitter and receiver and the cam. Too much management so I just recorded and sync'd in post. If I picked up one of the all-in-one wireless options that wasn't the MoveMic, I'd probably also grab the lavalier mic option cause I still want the mic to be discreet. Since I don't film much content on my phone, it would be amazing to see one of these mics sync to a camera's wifi or bluetooth and then I'd be really set! ;)

      ​@@RayOrtega Haha yeah so you sort of have both happening on top of each other, I would have ignored it too if I were you. I tested indoor, outdoor, direct to PC, three different cameras, two different interfaces, different TRS and XLR cables and that little tone popped up on all of them at some point and was the worst when I used a TRS to XLR cable. Comes and goes, really can't figure out what causes it though. I would assume it's the receiver. I think the only time it's always absent is if you record to the motiv app via bluetooth.

    When you have both mics connected direct to the phone and recording in the video app, the mics clipped onto two people standing right next to each other and both are taking turns talking to camera. How does this system handle mic bleed, hearing the voice of person 1 in the mic of person 2 with a tiny delay, creating an echo? You mention you can record them separate left and right for mixing yourself in post, I assume you can also record them both together centered in a stereo mix? Is there any auto mixing happening in that case? How well does it work when the 2 people talk over each other?

    • @RayOrtega
      @RayOrtega  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The bleed seems typical of any two mics within the same proximity, it's not bad. And yes you can record a mixed channel instead of separated so that it's ready to go as soon as you're done recording. No auto-mix. There should be no issues with talking over each other in terms of anything getting stepped on, that's generally an issue found when recording online (Zoom, browsers, etc) not in person.
