Hey Hey Epic Adrian 3D! Thank you so much for checking out this video and the kind words! Idk... it might just be that I don't really want to do the vlogger review type style, I'd rather stick to information with my learning section at the end where I break down my thought process. I take after the greats like @Curtis Judd , @DSLR Video Shooter . I remember them talking about how long they've put the work in to get to where they are based on their style, they didn't blow up in a short period of time rather 5 years seems to be the mark. I'm only 2.25 years so far, so I still got a ways to go to earn it :) That being said, I've said this a few time to awesome viewers like you with the same comment. I'm cherishing this moment when I don't have a large sub count because it means I can take this moment to chat with you all and write long comments like this. There's going to be a day where I simply can't do that anymore, and it's probably the thing I will miss. So until then, you all have my attention when I go through and answer every comment! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Thank you so much for not being a douch-canoe and ACTUALLY putting the information first!!! So refreshing, definitely subscribing. The biggest thing I was looking for with these mic systems was the ability to split the channels (for when one person speaks louder or softer than the other). I watched several other videos and gave up at 5 minutes in, and you told me the answer I needed by 47 seconds in. Contrary to what KZitem content-makers are told, I am more likely to subscribe to someone who is useful than someone who goes through the formula of making me watch a bunch of yammering before getting what I want to see. I promise I'll keep the rest of the video playing even if I don't need more info to keep your average view time up!

This system is a bit old and there are other options coming soon as I'm sure a lot of the bigger named off brand companies are going to be putting in their bid to go against the new RODE GO II (my current 2.4ghz dual channel wireless recommendation).

Hey hey again Jarrad! I haven't looked at other reviews for the BoomXD but i'll take your word for it about the safety tracks mention... idk unless I got a "defective" unit? I think its a cool idea honestly, might be a extra click or two in post production when you get it to Dual Mono but still, why not have a safety track?! If I'm not mistaken I though one of the DSLR shotgun mics out there has the same ability. So glad this video has helped with your decision! I can't say I'm up there with Curtis Judd, he's a wealth of knowledge with so much more experience in the audio realm.

@TLDR_filmmaker

Hey hey again Laverne! As I've continued to work with this mic as well as reviewing their next mic. It would seem that the BOOMX-D has an default Low cut filter that you cannot turn off. I'm not exactly sure why they opted to do that, but now that I know it. It makes sense why my EQ setting to raise 50-150hz range brought back my voice and made it match the RODE that I showed in a later video. Always work within the budget unless the client or customer is willing to pay for the rental or you're able to work it into the budget to purchase the mic yourself for future work. Spending hard earned money on something without a quick way to recoup is never a good idea in my book, need to always move forward to grow and not get stuck in the same place for too long. Hope you are well my friend! Stay healthy and safe!

Regarding plugging that lav mic into the RODE, that specific test will be coming in a follow up mass comparison with newer audio tests. I didn't plug the comica lav mic into the RODE because it wouldn't have been as standardized of a test since RODE doesn't supply this specific Comica Lav Mic. In the follow up video I'm going to be redoing my audio quality and noise floor tests with a new method that I think will give a much better idea of what the audio quality is between these clip on mics with mic ports.

Hey hey Lewis! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I'm glad to hear this video has been helpful! I don't know how fast you need an audio system but I will be doing a major mass comparison against all the wireless mics I've reviewed from 2019 to now with a new audio quality test to give a better idea how all of these compare. But if you're in need of a system right now, the only sound quality difference I can say is that the RODE GO definitely has the fuller sound, with the BoomXD you'll want to EQ it a bit in post production and raise the Bass Frequencies to get something more full. Other than that if you're on a budget and needed a two wireless lav setup, the BoomXD punches really hard for the price tier that it's competing in. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey EDUSRG DSLR! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! To a certain degree I kind wish these small wireless lavs can take some sort of common small form rechargeable battery or possibly do what the SennAVX did where we can get a couple carts of their battery and be good to go without having to strap on a USB Power bank. However I feel like RODE would be the only company to do this because they will take into consideration of future products in their line up.

Hey hey Beat Diabetes! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! The Comica is maybe about 1cm taller, but not as wide as the RODE. Thickness is about the same. The Comica doesn't have the weight of the RODE GO which leads me to believe that they could have possibly placed a larger battery inside. Other than that the Comica feels really nice in the hand, better than the RODE GO, it feels like a small zippo lighter. For the most part, in my opinion, while the clip on mic is a great feature in these products, I don't really use them in that fashion unless it's a last resort. Mainly because they are heavier than the ideal weight for clipping onto a normal shirt and will have a tendency to flip itself over into the shirt. The PicoMic I reviewed is the only one that does not have this problem because of how small it is and its design, but all the others suffer from this problem. Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey Ben! In the Tascam tests, the RODE does seem to have more of a bass response and fuller sound. The BoomXD can get better with a little EQ on the post end. The weird thing to my ears is the sound difference between the A7iii and the GH5 (outdoor and indoor tests) to my ears the GH5 sounded better, both camera audio didn't have anything done except for "gain". Definitely agree about the better lav mic, I will be doing a updated test method and retest comparison between all these wireless kits I've review in the last year. I think it will give a much better idea of what the mics and lavs are doing. Stay tuned!

Great review! I have 2x rode go setup with all the accessories. If using 2 transmitter and 2 receivers they can have interference issues. If both RX(receivers) are placed within 2' of each other, it significantly decreases the range of the transmission. They interfere with each other. (they claim they don't but in practical use, they do). Knowing that and the price cost, I would rather have gotten this 2x TX (transmitter) kit with one RX. Then add better lavalier microphones.

Hey hey Just Love Film! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Interesting... I've used my two sets of RODE GO very very close to each other during a two person interview and didn't run into interference issues. But in that specific scenario there wasn't a whole lot of wifi traffic. When you had the Two RX's close together, how far away do you think you were able to get from your subjects before it became unreliable? I just uploaded a updated sound test video where I do try a bunch of different lav mics with the Comica Boom. It doesn't necessarily improve the sound quality in terms of "fullness", it definitely is a better signal but you'll probably still want to do a little EQ in post depending on the person's voice or your desired sound.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I did have a problem like this before but it was when I was doing my RODE GO vs Picomic test. I placed both system on my shirt as I walked away, I did notice that my range with both of them on cut down significantly so I redid the tests individually. I thought at the time it was because both systems have different frequency hoping algorithms and since they were so close to each other that it was sending itself into a fritz. But now that I'm thinking about it, its probably exactly what you're describing.

Definitely a nifty device that punches way hard for its price point, but of course if audio quality is 99% of what you need and not the features, you'll either still use the RODE GO or purchase something much more expensive.

Very inserting product! I'm mostly attracted to the dual channel recording, which is a feature missing from my Go. Though I see two main drawbacks that make me prefer the Go: Size and Battery life! I want to run the Go in weddings and other live events, where the ability to have a lav that is stealthy and can be mounted quickly is the key. As for the battery life, again for live events even 6 hours might me limiting since you might have to mic the groom/talent way ahead of the time and have the mic running for many hours. Overall, in more controller environments, the XD might be a better choice, but for me the Go is still the way to go. Great review as always, thank you for that!

Hey hey again Aristomenis! The size isn't to different, both are quite small with the BoomXD feeling slimmer as its slightly taller and thinner (same thickness as RODE GO). The Boom almost feels like a Zippo lighter, but definitely not as dense feeling as the RODE GO. That extra 1.5 hours would definitely make a major difference for your wedding work. I think for people that already own a RODE GO has probably made their investment back or will be making it back very quickly with the content they create with it. For new filmmakers coming into the game, I think they have a really great starting option that punches very hard for its price tier! This BoomXD vs my old first audio kit Saramonic uwmic9 dual ch... what a crazy difference in size and ability, just nuts! Thanks again for always chatting in the comments!

Hey hey again Steven! For people that already have RODE GO's I'd say try to assess if it makes sense to sell it and pick up the BoomXD. No doubt the 2tx to 1rx is awesome. But if someone already has had the RODE GO for a year, chances are they've made their investment back within the year with all the content they've created from it cause right now the RODE's edge is beating the Comica in audio quality and battery life. However for someone just starting out and on a budget, I would say get the Comica, for that price point it punches super heavy for its price tier. With a little EQ in post and you're good to go... That that being said... I have to say the Sony A7iii mic port does not sound as good as the GH5. There was a recent video out from @DPReview that the A7iii was having less desirable results but @Gerald Undone 's tests does not have the same issue. To me I know I was outside with the lav mic attached going into my GH5 and the indoors was the built in mic, but to me the GH5 audio (unprocessed) sounded richer to me and the A7iii sounded less full on the bass end. Thoughts? Hope all is well man, stay safe and healthy!

Hey hey MediaFX! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I agree! This video is a bit on the older side and at that point we only had the RODE Link and Deity Duo that were entering the 2.4ghz stage with the traditional channel selection feature in this frequency range. Then the RODE GO came at a lower price point and all these 3rd part companies followed with the frequency hop algorithm system. So far with the 2.4ghz systems in this price range I have tested, there is only one that sorta lets you channel select, they could give more options in the future with Firmware updates as the option to select frequency bands was only recently added a few months ago. So we'll see! We really need the bigger players to introduce the more traditional option into this budget range for pro's that need to manage frequencies on set, after that all the 3rd party competitors will follow.

And also to be able to modify the transmitter level, from the receiver. Do you think it will be a good solution to use this system to have a wireless boom (so obviously the micro/Shotgun has an internal power supply) or it will affect a lot the audio quality?

I can't see why it wouldn't work as a wireless boom solution. Some filmmakers have used the RODE GO in the same manner.

Thanks again for another great review. After your previous review of the GO, I contacted you about the feasibility of using the mic in a comedy club where I would set up my camcorder at the back of the room and attached the GO to myself to improve the audio. (These are smallish clubs of max 200 people ). The audio from the camcorder (Canon Vixia R800) wasn't bad but I was hoping to improve it. On stage we use a stage mic, of course. My concern with using the GO was that it would not then pick up the audience response as well as the camcorder mic and mute it a bit. You had felt that this would not likely be much of a problem. I did wonder though that if I got a mono splitter and had the audio from me going to the left channel and that from a separate shotgun mic attached on the camera for more of the ambient audience response audio going to the right channel, if that would work. Someone suggested that might lead to phasing problems. With this new setup that you're reviewing here, it seems to come with what I need. Would I get both good audio fo me and the audience by having one transmitter on me and one attached to the camcorder at the back and would there likely be phasing problems?
@TLDR_filmmaker
4 жыл бұрын
Hey hey again Wardie! Hmm... There could be some slighting phasing but that could be fixed a little in post where you take of the audio channels and push it back a frame (or subframes if you can) and that would help with the phasing. The other bit to help with phasing is when you are editing everything together, your crowd ambient track won't necessarily try and match up in volume with your clean dialogue track, so if there is slight phasing I wouldn't think this is as noticable. I"m speaking from my experience with recording live theatre performances where I have a clean feed from the mixer and then another camcorder is catching all the ambient via shotgun mic. In post I have my ambient track anywhere from 20-35% compared to my clean feed. Now in terms of using this BoomXD where one is on you and the other one is grabbing the ambience. I'd don't think you'd be getting much phasing because of the space you're in, but if there is you can move that ambient track a little backwards. The ambient mic will definitely pick up your onstage speaker mic, but again that shouldn't be too big of a worry as you mix down the audio in post. The one thats on you, connect with a lav, that'll give you a more natural voice with some ambience of the room. A feed directly coming from the speaker system would sound dead and dry. I'd think the BoomXD might give you the best of both worlds going into your Canon Vixia 800 to work with in post. And of course you don't need to bring a lot with you since that one receiver will handle both audio source.

Hey hey Eric! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! It's actually not that much bulky, I didn't show it for too long in the TLDR of them side by side, but the Comica is just a little taller and thinner. If you were only looking to use the wireless system as a clip on mic instead of wiring up with a Lav, then I'd say for a single Channel you may as well get the RODE unless you want the future use of the Lavs and Cables to go into smartphones. But yea, the dual channel setup is a really great value. I uploaded a new video a couple days ago where I compare 7 wireless systems that has a completely revamped audio quality test, I also show in that video how close I can match the Comica to the RODE with some EQ.

Definitely the EQ will get things sounding better afterwards. As for the safety track deal, it looks like it may have just been an odd mistake of a feature. Someone said that he achieves it by having the second channels volume setting at a lower level. Not sure it that works across the board, but that could explain why the safety track happens since when you're in stereo mode each channels volume controls its stereo channel volume. So in Mono maybe it still happened, thus causing the safety track.

Great review. I am thinking about trying this as this would be great for trade show interviews. I would also like to know how it compares to the Rode Wireless Go for ambient noise rejection. I have a Shure wired lav mic that is amazing for this. I know it's too late now, but I think you could have used one transmitter on your jacket in front, and one on your back so you could test both line of sight and blocked at the same time. Not sure if that could case any interference. I recently performed an extreme range test of the Wireless Go, and used a measuring wheel so I could determine the exact distance. I used a white noise generator so it would have constant noise. Don't mean to troll, just sharing some ideas I think worked for me. I think my second favorite thing about this kit that is missing from the Wireless Go is the screen on the transmitter.
@TLDR_filmmaker

Hey hey again Dave Tech! In terms of ambient noise rejection, it doesn't seem to have any sort of noise reduction in the traditional sense as the internal mic and Lav Mic are both omni-directional. I think there are some lav mics (perhaps your Shure) that is not omni-directional but may have some sort of cardioid pattern to help not pick up louder ambient noises. The reason I didn't test with a TX on my front and back is because of the viewers that may be watching on a phone or a basic TV. I'm not a fan of doing tests where I have to instruct the viewers to wear headphones so that they can tell if the Left or Right channel goes out (if I'm doing a audio test). But I LOVE that white Noise Generator Idea, then I wont have to talk the whole time during the outdoor stress test except for when I let people know what distance marker I'm at :D (totally taking this idea) Thanks again for stopping by, stay safe and healthy and I'll see you in the next one!

Very interesting review ! Both products are great, owning 2x Rode WGO was a choice for me as for shooting myself I needed a backup option, fast and easy to install. For interviews, 2 units (both RX/TX package) really make a difference and that's the way to go. You can find junction cables for mono or stero recording at 1.5US$. The battery can be swapped or not ? Also they are AA/AAA like in the Tascam DR10L ? Thanks for the product presentation and comparison.

Hey hey Savage Beast! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Definitely! Both products I think serve a nice broad and specific spectrum for filmmakers around this budget range without getting into $600+ territory for a single system! Unfortunately the battery cannot be user swapped, it would be interesting to see if a company goes ahead and makes a small wireless lav kit that it only takes a single AAA battery... that would be pretty nifty. The battery life would be quite amazing too because I think most of these systems are around 300-550mAh batteries while a standard AAA I think is 1000mAh. We could see a system that lasts up to 9-10 hours on a single battery? I'm dreaming now but that would be pretty cool and definitely would cause a stir in the market as AAA rechargable batteries are easy to take with you and have on hand during a long film day! You're most welcome! Stay tuned for a super new battle between all the wireless audio kits I've reviewed so far with new tests that should give a much better idea of what each system sounds like!

The only problem I have with the analysis of it's value of the Rode Go is that at $300 one should be buying the Rode go 2 which has built in local backup recording just in case the transmitter drops out, and while it might be $50-$150 more to get it set up, the guaranteed safety of non transmitted audio is easily worth that additional cost.

Nice review. However, I'm not following you about your statements regarding the safety track. Follow my train of thought: If you're recording a two person interview using two transmitters in mono, then the channels are blended into one and there's no way to remix them in post...just like the Saramonic Blink 500. A major benefit of the Comica system is to allow for dual channel recording from a single receiver and having the ability to balance in post. However, in order to take advantage of what you're calling a safety track, wouldn't you would need to record one person in stereo while wearing two microphone transmitters and select the appropriate track in post and then convert it to dual mono? Am I missing something about how to properly use this for a safety track? If I had to guess, the difference in levels on the two channels in stereo was not intentional...but I've been wrong before! Also, will Comica be including the attenuator cable for use with a GH5/GH5S?

It is mutually exclusive. Either you get two transmissions in stereo each at the individually set level, or you have one transmission, that gets recorded in two channels, one of which is 6db lower than the set level. You can´t do both at the same time.

Hey hey again the Gadget Guru! Thanks as always for checking out a video and engaging in the comments! @Andreas Buder beat me to it. You will not be able to use both Mono-safety track and Stereo at the same time to get what you're describing. When you're in Mono you will have the option to adjust each transmitter independently and monitor through your headphones to see if they are around the same level. From there as the two people are talking (assumingly one at a time and not talking over each other) if one of them does happen to go hot for a second, you will have that left mono track to recover. That being said the workflow of how this will work is, for me in FCPX, I convert the mono-stereo track into "dual mono" so that I have the ability to either select the left mono safety track or the right mono track to work with or mix together. I show this briefly in this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lKOqrZ6IjYN9aKw Right now I can't find the attenuator cable on Amazon. I believe the Comica BoomXD was most likely suppose to be released in Jan of this year, but with the world situation that's going on the stock is slowly getting out into the market. However this does not mean you have to wait for the official attenuator cable, you can get a basic one on Amazon that will do the same. To me it looks like its either a -6 or -12db attenuator, I can't tell for sure except for how it was responding in my A7iii... which I have to say, I prefer the GH5 preamp sound much better. The Comica sounded better coming out of the GH5 (outdoor indoor tests) over the A7iii. Thanks again for stopping by, stay safe and healthy my friend, see you in the next one!

The video can be found here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1WptmnarZml3p5w It's a long one but I have timecodes in the pinned comment so you can jump around to the tests you want to see! You technically could plug these to a Shotgun mic like those two, however you'd need some sort of XLR to 3.5mm that has 48v of phantom power adapter before it plugs into these systsms. These systems alone do not have the power to drive a shotgun condensor mic that doesn't supply its own power either via built in battery or AA battery.

If you are using an external audio recorder you do not want to use the attenuated cable, use the normal one because you want to give the external recorder the loudest signal its capable of so you can turn down your Zoom H5's internal preamp lower for cleaner sound.

Hi! Me again! Haha! After going through the footage I shot for a webinar I'm sorry to say... From a professional point of view I cannot emphasise how bad these microphones are. Here are some of the main problems experienced... I recently did a webinar where I had 2 sets of these set up with 4 speakers... So 4 speakers (4 microphones) and 2 receivers running straight into camera on 2 seperate channels. Firstly, the signal on both receivers cut out a number of times, even though the speakers were about 15 feet away from the receivers, in line of sight. Secondly, there was terrible feedback through the microphones, even though the set up was in an open area with absolutely no wifi signal in that area. Eventually I made everyone turn off their cellphones to try and alleviate the problem. This did not help at all. I thought perhaps the feedback was coming from having 2 sets of receivers running next to each other at the same time but even when we went to only 1 speaker running on 1 microphone and 1 receiver there was still feedback. These mics are cheap for a reason, they do not work and you cannot rely on them to give you a clean audio signal. I have used them once and will never use them again. Absolutely terrible! I have gone to the lengths of not selling these on but simply dumping them in the trash. Biggest waste of $500 I have ever spent.

In one case a friend couldn't use it in his home, but was fine in a school with plenty of wifi, no problem. I wonder if the 2.4ghz does span the entire range, but only a part of it. So thus if there is a frequency very close to the edge of the range, it may come into the recording. I know you said you are moving to the XU UHF version, which I definitely think will alleviate your situation and work better for you.

Last year I researched the Elgato 60? when it was onsale, but I never jumped on it because of some research I did and that it may not do what I wanted (I cant remember what). However depending on your computer and camera, a lot of the major camera makers (DSLR) have started coming out with updates on their computer apps to allow you to plug your camera via USB an use it as a webcam so that you can negate the need for a HDMI capture card. Unless you are using it the HDMI for gaming and not as a webcam from a camera. We shall see what I end up going with as I'd love to start doing some live stream content and interact with you all in more real time.

Hey hey again Neon! Thanks! Oye, yea I guess I coulda wrote that talking point in, I only showed it quickly in the TLDR section, the last show, of them side by side. The Comica is only slightly taller, maybe less than half an inch, its not as wide as the RODE, but about the same thickness. I'm a fan of its more boxy design, it feels good in the hands. I almost wonder if they could have put a denser battery cell in there, I think they could have hit the 6hr mark for battery life

Awesome how you can go so far and we still hear you ! Have you tried using the Comica with another Lavalier to see if like a Rode SmartLav+ paired with the Comica achieve the same quality as the Rode wireless go ?

Hey hey Le Switcheur Du KZitemGame! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I sure have, I did it in my ultimate wireless audio comparison video with multiple lavs so you can hear the difference of how each system handles them! The video can be found here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1WptmnarZml3p5w It's a long one but I have timecodes in the pinned comment so you can jump around to the lav tests you want to hear! Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Aldseri MixVLOG! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! The Blink500 is not a bad system for single ch audio, its sound quality is actually quite close to the RODE out of the box when put into the same situations (Comica can achieve it with some post EQ). I show this in my latest video where I compared the Blink500 against 6 other systems including the comica. The video can be found here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1WptmnarZml3p5w It's a long one but I have timecodes in the pinned comment so you can jump around to the tests you want to see! The only thing about the Blink500 is if you want to work with 2 separate channels of audio in post, the Blink500 mixes it down to mono while the Comica can do either Mono or Stereo. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

The Comica sound quality and noise sucked compared to the Rode, so im wondering why its a Rode killer. The difference is huge, so no matter what the features if you get crappy sound why would anyone say its better, sound quality is the most important element in my opinion.

Hey hey Whittymusic! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! The feature set, at the time, was enough to make it more enticing for people on a budget. I later showed my EQ settings in a different video to address why it still can hold up as I was able to successful match it against the RODE GO. kzitem.info/news/bejne/1WptmnarZml3p5w (Explanation and then example) I do talk about why I still call it as such... however there is another major contender right now that I'm testing and reviewing. If it all checks it out, it may actually beat out the RODE Go, as it's predecessor was very very close in similar audio sound quality. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Bánáti János! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Definitely a very budget setup, just some EQ and you'll be able to get a little more out of it! I further touch on that a little more in the video I just uploaded, it's a long one so feel free to look at the Timecodes and skip to the parts you want to hear! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hi! Very convincing video! I would have loved, if there is a solution for exchangable battery, I used to prefer that one in the Sennheiser EW models, but for this price point its sound fine. One questino though. Do you think it can work with boom mics too? Like with the Deity D3 or Rode NTG or whatever, if I want to boom them with this lav system?

Hey hey Lorion! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! This is a bit of an older video and various other systems have stepped in and beaten this system. Right now the RODE GO II and the Saramonic Blink 500 Pro are the go to systems as this price point and time. I personally select the RODE GO II as all my tests have pointed it to be the better investment overall. You can see my review in the my recent videos. That being said I too would love to have an exchangeable battery solution in these smaller systems, but I understand why it's not there. RODE says with their system you won't see much battery degradation until near the 10 year mark. We'll see if this holds true as people use it for the first year. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
