Check out this dual lav wireless system from Comica. Really diggin it! bit.ly/ComicaCVM-WM300WirelessLapelSystem

Nice work BFM! Great detail!

I've bookmarked this for the future. Great review! Anyone who's looking for lav mics in this price range should feel confident about selecting this product!

Really appreciated hearing the clear sound as you walked through the house. Dropouts are the main thing I worry about with these non-diversity wireless mics.

You did a really good job with reviewing those mics. They sound really good, too. I love the fade to black! Lol

Good review as always. Back in the middle of December Tom Antos compared the Saramonic UwMIC9 ($400) with the Comica CVM-WM300 ($480). The two systems are almost identical in most regards. The main difference is the Saramonic uses AA batteries while the Comica has built-in rechargeable batteries. Below is the comment I left on Tom's review, which outlines how I feel about these two excellent systems. *THE XLR CABLE IS MONO* The fact is that the 3-pin XLR cable is a mono connection. That means that both channels will be mixed into one audio channel which is not what would be required by a production using a professional camera. They would need to split the output from the receiver to two separate 3-pin XLR connections, letting each mic be recorded on a separate audio channel in the camera or the mixing board. (Such a cable is available.) This is also true if you are connecting using phone plugs, if you are plugging into a recorder that has separate connectors for each mono channel. *CARRYING CASES* It seems like nobody supplies a useful carrying case with their products. I bought a Zoom H6 which came with such a case. The fit is so tight I can't even fit the additional Zoom attachments I bought at the same time. In my opinion, same goes for the Comica case. When you pack the two body packs and the receiver up, as soon as you get home, you're going to have to pull them back out and plug them in to recharge. Wouldn't it have been nice if they had left room at least for the charging cables to be plugged in while they where still in the case? Better that than that would have been to leave room in the case for a single 3-port charger that could be plugged into the three devices and a single mains cord to plug into the wall? Well, in my experience, nobody does that. But I wouldn't pay extra for a case that isn't all that useful to me. *AA BATTERIES OVER BUILT-IN RECHARGEABLE* Built-in rechargeable batteries just don't have a long enough life for me. I don't just mean how long they last between charges but how long the batteries continue to take a charge before the whole device becomes worthless. It might be different if the rechargeable battery is a customer replaceable item. As far as operating time with one charge, my Sennheiser wirelesses all use AAs as does my Zoom H6. What I like about this is, at the end of the day, I pack up and go home. I put my gear away and don't have to pull it all back out again and plug it in for recharging. That is, except for the camera batteries. Much easier, at least for me. Oh and I can always use rechargeable AAs if I every one to go the rechargeable route. The micro-B USB connectors are also difficult to plug in and are prone to getting bent and can easily became unusable. If the socket gets ruined, the whole device is now useless. *CONCLUSION* So I guess I'd be more favorably disposed to the Saramonic system. Thanks for the review.

Great INFO! Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your product reviews!

thank you. this was very helpful

This is more of a infomercial than a honest product review.

Kevin, Dankeschön for this helpful Review!

Very detailed review and very professional

An excellent review, thank you for sharing. I'll stick with the Zoom H1, however, with my cobbled-together dirt-cheap Lavalier stereo mics, achieving similar quality sound at a saving of $300. I thought the reception of your off-camera narration (12mins) was memorable. Gave me the best laugh of 2018 so far. Marred only by the fear you might take a leak whilst off-camera. Bathrooms are seldom acoustically awesome :-)

heck yes this is brilliant i was just working with some lapel mics and thank you for this test and heck yes no interference i didnt hear any interface and i really need this for the future i think there really awesome and thats really cool they have an adapter for the xlr and the case looks very heavy duty and the lapel mic looks heavy duty and thats cool they have a furry wind cover too and thats a really nice fade to black

I think everything up to 9:19 is recorded on the phone's internal mic. It's not using those radios at all. There would be much more difference when your mouth is closer to / facing the mics. Also, there's no handling noise at 8:34. Notice 8:56 when you lean toward the iPhone, mouth facing the phone, suddenly the levels increase, because it's recording using the iPhone's built in mic.

After watching this review I have just bought same set from USA, I hope it will work as reviewed if not I will mention the drawbacks here again.

I've been eyeballing this setup, so this is very timely for me :) Going to be needing more wireless lavs for interviews when Spring arrives. Did you also test out the handheld mic and, if so, what're your thoughts on it? (*and I loved the ending) :)

Are you sure the smartphone thing works (8th minute)? Doesn't make any noise when you touch the mic (8:33) and it seem to be clearer when you get closer to the phone at 8:57...

Great review! I think it's helpful!

Nice review thank you! 👍👏🙂

Very nice video. I have a comica cv-vm10 (similair as the rode video micro) and it also is a great product.Thnx again.

Great review 🙂👌 looks like good microphone 👍

How's the product performing after almost a year now? Any regrets?

Hi there, I recently purchased a CCVM-WM300 and I'm having trouble with the group B transmitter. The transmitter seem to work, when I say something to the mic the audio bar shows that it's receiving sound. But for some reason the sound isn't transmitted to my camera. My group A transmitter seem to work OK. But I don't know why the other one isn't working. I have to film an interview on Tuesday so I'm hoping to figure it out before then.. thank you in advance!

I don’t think that iphone was working. I think the phone was picking it up cause of the room sound. Were you able to do another test?

Nice kit for a money. Definitely will be inserted to the shopping list. But, why it’s so big? Dilemma here: cheap bulky vs expensive tiny (Sennheiser G4 set)

Its very best audio adjustments for ur camera work but its so costly price in amazon

Nice video, but have a few questions... How can i take the signal out from the transmiter of the 2 chanels, to my field recorder (zoom F8n) if just have 1 stereo out and 1 headphone stereo out, and i need the 2 mono outs separetly How many of this units (dual chanel) can i have on the same place running at the time (i need 8 chanels /4 dual units in a big house for a tv show work that will start to be shooting in a month) Can i power the receiver with the usb port to bot depend of the battery life, without damage the unit or the internal battery The internal battery of the transmiters and receiver, can hold more than 9 hours running? How many time it takes to have a full charge the units? Thank you for your help Adrian Oleas Cali, Colombia

We bougt a set but encountered almost instantly a problem with the input bus of the receiver (bad contact). We also would like to make you aware of the fact the connection cable (minijack - XLR) is way to fragile. Comica is not willing to deliver a professional after sale service concerning the bad contact problem. We would strongly advice not to buy the comica set.

What shotgun mic do you recommend?

What the best mic after this with dual channel in 2019?

Thank you for this review! Quick question: Does the single Receiver mean that you can't mix each mic separately?

Great review, thanks. How is the system holding up after a year?

Not mini-, but microUSB connector on the bottom...

Are these good for on stage theatre shows??

can i use 4 mics at once with this?

Hey Kevin! I am having trouble balancing audio between the two subjects on these transmitters on the fly. One person is softer than the other. Im putting these into my TASCAM DR40x, how should my settings be?

The sounds is definitely good. You could go over to the neighbours for a chat and still be audible. LOL!

The saramonic wireless lavs comes with a cable to use with an IPhone ......

I can dig it. Two questions please. Is there anyway to disable control buttons on transmitter? 1.My "actor" put the transmitter in his pocket and there is a better than average chance buttons will be pushed when the hands go in and out etc. 2. Is the output of the receiver split into two separate channels left and right or are they combined into a single stereo output with both microphone on both channels? Thanks for your review.

cool

How do they compare to Sennheiser G3?

Great video. Do you recommend an overhead shotgun mike (on a boom stand) over a dual channel wireless lapel system if I am going to be interviewing someone in my private office which is overall quite. Both me and the interviewee will be talking. Thanks.

The cable from the 300 is their stock trs. The white one is a TRS or TRRS to C? Mne wont work on my H P30 pro

Hello, I need help. I have some hiss going with the speaking of the person i interview. i think it's a problem with the frequencies.. did somene have this noise or hiss and how to avoid it? thank you

Question. Can I add more transmitters? IE have three or four people all on lab mics if I purchase more? Or does this unit only support two mics? Thanks

Good day sir, would you mind comparing this to the BOYA WM8 Pro-K2 Upgraded Lavalier kit? Thanks.

We bought a set, got problems with the input bus of the receiver (bad contact). The connection cable (XLR - minijack) is way to fragile/low quality and breaks down to easy. Comica is not willing to take care of the problem. Meaning no after sale sevice! Advice not to buy the comica set.

Hi; I just bought the set CVM-WM300. I have a problem with the WM300-TX - I charged the battery and when I went to use it for the first time, I turn it on, the screen shows the "Comica" logo for a couple of seconds and then it turns off (this has jeopardised a film shooting which cause me some problems). When I got home I put it to charge again, but it does not work - even when connected to the plug, it does not turn on, it shows the logo and goes back off. I googled the problem but I cannot find any answer to this, This was a quite expensive piece of equipment and I wonder if you offer any solution to what I have described. I tried to google any solution or people with a similar problem but I haven't had any success.

Have they updated the problem with the battery indicator? Would you happen to know or have you had the same problem like WM200A shows half battery life with fresh and rechargeable batteries so I ended up returning the item back? Please reply if possible thx! :)

Rode lavalier or comica, Which one has better quality?

For @$450, it SHOULD sound as good as it does.

If you replaced your Rode NTG-3 with this would you still go through your sound recorder or connect it directly to your camera?

Do you ever think about selling all the equipment you’re sent or doing giveaways?

Sounds pretty good ......

did you misspell that? You miss L in Comical

I'm P. L Rai Thanks sir

From a ham radio operator and experienced electronics guy. The product may be good but the testing was questionable. Really, placing a phone near it to test RF interference? If the phone was not in a call or downloading/uploading over mobile data. It's not going to transmit very often, if ever during that time. WOW! Also if the "antenna was shielded" the dang thing would not work! That's the point of an antenna. To radiate or receive radiation. The receiver has to reject unwanted radiation. Felt like a promotion and not a review, IMHO.

And here I am.. Thinking of buying a zoom h1 🙁

Really poor review... very disappointed Kevin...
