can you use other mics with transmitters? Is this better quality than vimo Q4? I am new to this world and found myself in this twilight zone of wireless mic systems and evil brands (cough*Shure) when my wired cheap lav mic took a crap
Hey man, no problem! We all sometimes fall down the gear rabbit hole sometimes haha. In my demo, you'll see I used the transmitters onboard mic, then the comica lav that came with it and third I used a cheap knockoff brand lav mic as well. they all sounded fairly well to me. Now, I'm not sponsored by anybody so I only know how these perform and I haven't used the Vimo Q4 before. From a quick google search, it looks pretty cool, you get 4 mics, which is fantastic, but there isn't any onboard recording features to the transmitters themselves. That was something I was looking for specifically and why I opted for the BoomX-D PRO's. In todays time, most mics are really well build and have good audio quality. In post-production, we are getting insane cleanup and EQ tools which makes it even better and cleaner. So At this point, look at what you need, what your budget is, and buy something that will cater for your situation because the audio quality all around is fairly good.
Its no wonder I was pulling my hair out, the camera pre amps. What settings do you usually use for lets say a talking head? The lowest mine will go to is a -6 and I set my camera to -12db? Thanks.
What I do is I set the mics to 0dB and then bring my camera down to about -20dB, then I get a balanced sound. OR I put the cam on 0dB and put the mic on the "safety" setting with the left channel on -10dB and then the right channel is on -16dB for backup. Either way, I make sure I hit record on the transmitter itself for backup audio and using "Voice Isolator" in Davinci Resolve Studio, is ALWAYS a life-saver!
@@WhySteve Damn I got the free version of davinci and voice isolation isnt part of it. The farthest my camera can go is -12. So is this right? 1. Set mic to 0db (mono?) 2. Set camera to -10 or 12 3. Have subject press record. 4. Clap in front of camera. 5. Sync in post.
@@LycanVisuals if the mic is connected to the camera there is no need to sync in post (except if you record onboard), it's a matter of what camera you have exactly... just listen to the output from the camera and adjust the levels accordingly. Keep noise below 25dB, dialogue between -15dB and -8dB and the rest you can clean up with Noise Reduction and EQ. Good luck!
@@WhySteve Due to the camera amps I think ill stick with onboard because I cant stand the background hiss. My camera is a panasonic g85 so its pretty old and can only go to -12 so ill work with what I can get.
Awesome! Cheers from Nerdsville.
Fangirl moment! ❤️ wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

@@LycanVisuals Then I would recommend to record onboard the receiver and sync the audio in post.
