Thank you so much for being one of the only reviewers I've seen to mention the internal storage on the transmitters. I don't know why everyone else seems to have failed to mention this very important feature.

Thanks for the review. I've watched lots of them. I plan to order one for the current price if $179, or possibly wait for a sell. Two things I'd like to see: 1. Blank, non-logo, or customizable button transmiiter covers. 2. rotating coldshoe attachment on the rsceiver.

I think I’ll wait for the next DJI iteration. The engineering at DJI is top notch quality in term of design, and the fact that this one picks a lot from the DJI is telling a lot. Now DJI please, Noise Reduction, included lavs in the box or better electric noise shielding on the receiver, don’t change anything else. The size of the DJI receiver is better for an action cam. The rounded shape and the Colors are not for everyone.

As always, very insightful. I have what I think might be a useful issue for your next wireless comparison video. Since many budget filmmakers prefer to hide lavs connected to transmitters, or use a small lapel lav for interviews, it would be great to know which systems have the least issues with low levels, noise and interference from using lavs, like is apparent with DJI. I was told by a user of the AnkerWork M650 that it has a bizarre issue with the Tascam lav he tried where the signal from one transmitter was being picked up on both channels of the receiver, with the setting specifically set to stereo. Yet without the lav, the M650 split the channels properly. If that's true with other lavs as well, it would make this system unusable for a budget filmmaker, and a better choice for vloggers, youtubers, etc. who don't necessarily mind seeing a transmitter stuck to their clothes. So even if you don't want to explore this, it's worth mentioning so that us budget filmmakers using lavs will be fore warned that they should probably do some extra research or try different lavs on their own to see what's actually compatible with AnkerWork M650.

Le voy al Anker, el producto suena demasiado de bien para que no se califique como professional. Para mí lo es y las comparaciones que he visto de otros mics con el DJI es sólo audio y la versatilidad de poder configurar tus decibeles en el mismo dispositivo sin tener que usar una PC, mas su distancia que es más y la batería es mas duradera, pero por 100 dólares menos. Anker tiene todas esas características casi al mismo nivel. Me encantan tus videos!

Nice for competition, but DJI is the only one that doesn't depend on an app to pull the recordings out, which is a big deal, and I'm yet to see someone add the option for a micro sd card instead of internal. Memory, that'd be a true universal wireless mic. Thanks for the review Susie 😎👍👍

@@MrCoco2344 actually there are non-brandname recorders in the market that record directly to micro sd card, but their solution is still a bit clunky and half-baked in my opinion. However that's the direction I hope the industry will move towards to. I also want to see no dependance on apps for core functionality, or any functionality at all, and I'm a much bigger fan of replaceable batteries than internal batteries. For now I have a Hollyland wireless mic (from before the internal storage days) and yet I have my Zoom H1n as backup when needed. 😎👍

I just ordered a pair because i was curious. Question... is there a way to get it to automatically start recording internally after I take it out of the case? It seems like you have to manually enable it each time. Also, can you disable the button on the unit from muting the device? There isn't any scenario where I would ever want the mic muted and don't want to press it by accident.
