Hey hey Jeff! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! The clothing tests I can definitely standardize. Outdoor wind noise will be much harder to ensure I am getting the same type of wind for each mic. I used to think about just aiming a fan at it, but I don't know how useful that type of test would actually be. I'll definitely think more about it. Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey again Gabriel! Yeaup! You asked, I went and got some more mics for this video and here we are! I'm glad I went off and purchased the other two while RODE provided their candidate. This will be a great test moving forward for my audio pack reviews.

Hey hey again Charlie! That would be pretty dope if RODE came out with a case that packed all those popular mics into one thing and charge. Those two mics seriously are like the Budget+ solution for every essential audio need.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Nice! Didn't know you play/ed! You'd probably dig my videos, I've got the sound dialed in and I play a gorgeous Pearl Masterworks kit (red with gold hardware). I hope you have a great Christmas season

Yup yup! Was part of two bands in my "career" and I rocked a Premier set that has seen better days. Unfortunately I did not take care of it when I went off to a different job. Checked out your channel and will definitely be back when I get back into it and need some refreshers, that Neil Peart style tutorial really brought back some memories learning from my teacher haha! I love that Pearl Masterworks kits, I was looking into those or Yamaha's. But for now, for the sake of neighbors, my next kit is most likely one of the Roland V series kits that I'll plug into my mac and start learning Logic! Looking forward to seeing your new tutorials with a wireless lav setup, have fun!

@@TLDR_filmmaker right on brother! V series is a great option when you've got neighbors. Afa Yamaha vs Pearl, I've checked out the Phoenix line b4 but when you compare looks and sound and options, the Pearl is the clear winner IMO. I've had this kit just over 7 years now and it still looks/sounds as great 7 years later. Btw, the mic came in Friday, I've got it plugged into my ATEM and am getting signal but we also got hit with a stupid stomach bug so I'm on hold until me & the Mrs feel better. Slowly just doing more prep stuff but check back next week/next year :), I should have Witch Hunt up next!

Hey hey Patrick! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I know, I should have put a text in there why I decided to leave out the outdoor ambient. The reason I did it is because the outdoor ambient is not a consistent sound across each mic test. For example, the Olympus test there were birds that flew in and chirped loudly while there rest didn't content with it. So I decided to leave it out and let the "Fan ON" ambient be the consistent test so that you can hear how each mic picks up that noise that's consistent. Sorry about that, next time I'll leave a title card if I negate a test that I performed. I just wanted to make sure you heard enough of me speaking before I switched to the next mic. Hope this makes sense. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

I own that Sony and there's two odd things about it. First - it's a stereo mic, so there's always a LEFT and a RIGHT channel to consider, which can be an issue if your subject turns his head while he talks (which almost everyone does). The second thing is that it has a silver metal body which picks up a ton of noise from clothing, etc. Even so it's a great value and has the absolute best audio gain of any lavalier I've ever used.

Hey hey Randy! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! This type of lighting could potentially be achieved with your ring light depending on how large it is and how close you can get it to your face at the upward angle that I talk about in the beginners youtube setup tutorial video. You're going to want to set that ring light as if it's a off angle halo. Because of the way the ring light works with its flood like quality and that its close to your head and just out of frame, you'll get a similar lighting look, not quite the same, but similar enough. I'm talking probably a 20" ring light approx. If it doesn't work to your liking, then this is what I'm using: Godox SL60: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3drVUZ5LWPI.html Laofas 47": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kK8lSclsp8A.html Godox CL10: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r2Vrc6k1Ye8.html Then use your ring light as a rim/hair light, and us a C-Stand to hold up that large softbox (only one layer of diffusion, no inner diffusion, you can if you want) I'm filming wide open on my lens at f/2.8, full frame at about ISO 160. You can make your adjustments as needed on the A6400. This is the kit for my specific shot of just a medium. If you are trying to go wider the look may vary as you'll need to move the light further away to get it out of the shot. Thats the key point for softer lighting, keep a super large source as close as you can to the subject. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Hey! Thank you so much for your speedy and detailed response! I will be l experimenting with everything that you just spoke on, already watching your tutorial etc. Thank you so much!

You're most welcome!

my favorite olympus

Hey hey again Chris! It would be great if I can get ahold of one or two higher end lavs to start incorporate into my tests. I'll reach out and see if any may help supply a review unit for this purpose.

Caleb from DSLR shooter in his RWG II review tested the Countryman b3 lav which costs nearly 200 bucks. It sounded great tho.

​@@Shot2media check the 8 min mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6SwXreI3Izo.html

@@Shot2media Yes, but there was a strong noise with it. I almost bought the B3, but heard that. I would invest in a better and humidity/waterproof mic, but there are really no reviews with wireless go II and compatibility (signal level, supply voltage) is a big question. I need something that I can also use with a G4 transmitter if I rent it. The B3, MKE2, W lav Pro, TR50, Cos11D, DPA4060 are on my list of candidates. Does anyone have good/bad experience with these?

Hey hey Sig Bausage! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! So glad you enjoyed the review! As for what I do in post for microphone tests, I don't do anything except for raise the gain and add a limiter. I do this so people can hear the raw quality of the mics. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again Marcos! You're most welcome! Thanks as always for stopping by!

Hey hey again Zero Point Productions! I can't remember who, someone in the comments asked if I could start including screaming tests to see if I could blast out the capsules or they can endure it. So thus, the scream test was born, with a fun easter egg for those in the know haha. So glad you enjoyed this video! I'll keep doing my best!

Hey hey again Copy Imitation! Thanks as always for the kind words! It would be awesome to do a collab with Caleb and Gerald, love those guys and their work.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Hey, if i can offer a kind word of taking things to the next level, i think your thumbnails though are kind of lacking, i forgot i was subscribed to you because the font kind of has this very low kind of appeal that didn't grab me, and i just so happen to be searching for info on the rode mics and i was like maaan i got to sub to this guy, but realized i was already subbed, and also i seen that you had posted this video today and i thought it was a Advertisement because you font tends to look like that , but then i saw the name i was like Wait , this is the guy i like! then i clicked, i think the more videos with your face showcasing and the product grabbed my attention, but like i said either way i really like this channel!

Hey hey again Sydney Dance Vids! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! My general thoughts on those cheaper options is that they are primarily made for cellphones with a TRRS plug and come with a TRS adaptor (wireless audio packs, camera). Because of that you now have this very long adaptor sticking out of your audio pack and can be snapped off more easily. So I personally do not recommend those options for most filmmakers that are only going to use DSLR and traditional wireless audio packs. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Rode has released a newer lav with kevlar cables which is apparently a lot more durable than their previous offerings.

@@avg4570 OH great. Are they under the same name or Version 2? like they do with the iPhone give each new phone a number? I just bought 2 more Lavs.

@@heathhunter3903 it’s just called the Rode Lavalier 2. Although I think it’s more expensive than the go.

Hey hey again David! I always appreciate you popping in and glad you got some value from it still!

Hey hey again The Macronical! Do you mean in terms of them talking about its performance against the others?

@@TLDR_filmmaker yeah, I mean the noise floor is definately higher but you can always adjust your gain levels for that either in camera or on the receiver no?

The Olympus camera and RX levels were the same as the others, Not because I was keeping it consistent across the board, but because this video was not meant to be a lav test. So even though I was hitting the same Signal range as the others, it does have a higher noise floor. But, I honestly don't think it's a big deal cause it's a regular hiss sound that mixes with general ambience noises. I actually use that lav for awhile with my original RODE GO and never felt the noise floor was a bother. I actually didn't realize it was there until this test against other higher end mics.

Hey hey Nilton! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! The lapels that have RF interference essentially need better shielding at the plug area. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Vegas Must Try! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Glad you're enjoy the channels theme! The main reason I don't perform these tests in an area with people is because it's hard to replicate the ambient noise exactly the same way which could give inconsistent results. Since this video I have tried other options to test ambient noise rejection, but at the end of the day lav mics are omni directional so it will pick up noise everywhere. Its ultimately up to the transmitters auto gain algorithm characteristics that will dictate how much it understands is ambient noise during the quite parts. Hope this makes sense!

Hey hey again Hunter! I sincerely appreciate it my friend! I will continue to do my best with all my new content!

Hey hey Cynthia! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Noted about the keyboard typing. However most likely all the laves will sound the same as they are all omni-directional which means they pick up sound everywhere. Unfortunately they do not make cardiod Lavs with a 3.5mm plug where it would be more directional to the persons voice. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Rafael! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Yea I'm not sure about that stereo design, especially for mono use with a wireless lav set. But hey, it sounds good to me for most use! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker I just had to get a second opinion. Your video was very helpful. To be honest I didn't even dare to use the the lav vertically. We'll try next time. Doesn't it mess up left right audio?

It does not, because your wireless system is only 1 channel instead of stereo 2 channels. So you'll never hear a difference between "left and right" channel as it's all being mixed into one dual mono signal.

@@TLDR_filmmaker Interesting. I see. I'll have to experiment a bit more with it. Thanks.

Hey hey Milan! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! From the tests I heard, the ECM-LV1 is exactly the same as the ECMCS3, just a different color and more modern marketing language. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again S Singh! I honestly don't know in terms of if "Price was not an issue" mainly because I don't have enough experience with other mics past the $130 mark.

Hey hey Marcio! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I don't have the new Sony black one at the moment, but I did some research and, as expected, they are pretty much the same microphone. The Silver Sony is quite old, so I think the black one was just updated marketing with color and new words like "livestream" haha. Hope this helps! Glad this video was helpful!

Hey hey again Alcohol Free RV! I'm going to need to track down some budget to mid budget cardioid lavs as I get this question a lot about sound rejection when wearing a lav. Is there any that you've heard people talk about most that I can see about acquiring?

@@TLDR_filmmaker I'm more familiar with the likes of Shure, Audio Technica, Sennheiser... bit those are mostly XLR. Personally I'm looking 1/8 (3.6 mm) TRS connectivity, and I haven't seen many out there. JK has a couple different MIC-J models with TS or TRS plug that are unidirectional/ cardioid. It also looks like th AudioTechnica AT831Sp might be an option

Hey hey The Geocab! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Most likely it will not clip in those situations as my scream is quite loud. You talking louder I don't believe it will be enough to clip the mics. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey OCFLAboi407! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I hear ya, the reason I did this was because I had the section afterwards where you can hear the fan noise only between the five 5 mics. I figured this was the best way to let you hear how the fan noise changes between each mic quickly. If I talk inbetween each fan noise part, your ear won't be able to discern which fan noise was actually lower, so thus why I broke it apart into sections. Now the outdoor silence I took out completely and definitely forgot to clarify why. It's because the outdoor test wasn't fair with cars and birds coming when they pleased. I couldn't make it objective with those variables like the fan. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Travel Pockets! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! So glad this review was helpful! If you're in the US and you type into Amazon the Sony ECMCS3 you'll still find some sellers that have old stock at the $20 price. Sony has since updated this mic to the new one I've linked which uses the Black color instead of silver, making it a little more common, the audio quality should be nearly the same if not a little better. It is $10 dollars more unfortunately. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey PortugalinhaProperty! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Correct, you do not need a TRRS conversion for these laves going into the RODE GO. You only need a TRRS conversion if you are plugging these lavs into a laptop (that does not have a dedicated mic plug) and a smartphone. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Josh! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I too was surprised with the Deity, it's not bad and does feel a bit more equal in terms of its frequency response, but I was surprised the noise floor had more of that hiss sound compared to the RODE Lav GO. The Rode Lav could be optimized, I will know more as I go back to some of the current popular 2.4ghz lineup and see how it sounds. I have not done a straight lav shootout yet into a field recorder, but will once I get more to add to the line up. The only problem is my field recorder is quite old and depending on what I need to set the pre-amp at I could be adding the field recorders noise floor into the mix minus the mics own self noise. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Zoom H1N seems like an adequate recorder. (I dont' own one yet, but reviews seem positive) I just returned the Andycine AC-M1 (recommended in your video) It seemed comparable to my Movo but when connected with a short TRS cable (like the one included with the Rhode Wireless Go) to the transmitter I experienced significant RF interference. (longer cable seemed to eliminate) I do not have this problem with the Movo VXR10, so I'll buy another and it will work with all of my gear. I had another mic that experienced this interference when directly attached to my Sony 6600 Mic Jack. I did not notice this behavior immediately after purchase or I would have returned it, I wonder if I broke it somehow?

Hey het Blackapino The Apple Guy! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! So glad this video was helpful for your new RODE GO II!

Hey hey Budiono! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! This is completely dependent on your mic setup and your voice volume. Also every camera does not handle settings the same I I recently found out with Sony cameras vs Panasonic Cameras SONY AUDIO FIX: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bh_gfEsFGtA.html So while I can give you a blanket solution except for that you need to try out all combinations to figure out what your camera actually is. If you're Panasonic, go ahead and put the camera mic at the lowest setting and then use RODE Output to compensate. If you're on Sony, depending on which camera you got +1 through +5 is the good spot. I don't know about other camera brands if you're not using either of these two. As for your camera audio level -12db is the standard to try and stay in for editing later, you can push it to -6 in Panasonics case, not so much Sony. This is all I can say of how I approach my audio settings now. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you so much for explaining. My camera is sony a6600. I try to move from external recorder Tascam DR-10L to rode wireless go 2. currently I set rode gain to medium and sony camera to 1. I will try your suggestion. Again, thanks

Hey hey Wardie! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The reason I did not is because the XD has been beaten by the Blink500 Pro in terms of my recommendations for a budget 2.4ghz system. But long story short, the RODE will have a deeper sound than the XD, as well as much longer battery life. Those are the main things to point out. Thanks again for stopping by!

Many thanks. I have the Comica which I use for recording my standup sets and got it based on a recommendation from you and I love it. (I am now having to use it for Zoom shows plugged into my laptop, though, and it’s still great.). I’m not trying to do anything very fancy with it but it really seems to do the trick for me. (Re lav mics, it comes with two that seem quite reasonable but being really new to this sort of thing, I’m no expert to judge.). Many thanks for all your videos. They are so well done. I love them and watch them even though they might not always deal with issues/equipment I need/have.

Hey hey Matthew! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! That is unfortunate to hear about the JK Mic-J 044. I guess it only does well with traditional UHF lower frequencies in the 500-600hz range. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hiding the Sony lav is going to be very tricky especially if the person is just wearing a T-shirt. It they are wearing a suit jacket it will be easier. As far as dead cats I think you have to use 3rd party slip-ons as I don't think sony ever made an official thing for it.

Hey hey again Sebastian! I was honestly surprised with the Sony, I might buy a few more just to have even if they look weird and not conventional. The sound was great for my voice straight out of camera with no Post audio processing in this video!

Hey hey Andres! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! So glad this video was helpful! I will continue to do my best with my content and reviews for you all! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Keep up the great work!

Hey hey again Michal! The Deity I used has the locking ring and it has no problems plugging into the RODE GO II and being used. Usually the locking ring doesn't pose a problem as far as I know with the various wireless systems I've used the Deity with that does not have the locking ring mount on the TX.

@@TLDR_filmmaker yes it will be true to the rode link lav too i think. Hope this one will park into your testing garage too :)

Hey hey Zach! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! So glad this video was helpful! Definitely depends on your needs for the lav, the RODE Lav is definitely a great pro mic for just about every situation. But if you just need a lav for youtube videos or vlogging. The Sony can fit that bill until you decide to invest in the more expensive lav options. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thanks! I ended up actually buying the Tascam Lavs that come with the DR10L. Great little mics and I've been using the DR10L for years.

Hey hey again Zaky! You're most welcome! So glad this video was helpful! Love from the USA!

Hey hey Street Inspired! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Hmm, if the RODE GO Receiver is set to "mono" instead of "stereo" then it should be recording out of both sides all the time. The only thing I can think of is to ensure that both the Lav and the cable going into your camera is firmly pressed in so that it doesn't shift inside the port. Sometimes it may seem its in, but you will really want to press it in. If you are still having the same problem, here is my thoughts on what it could be. 1) defective unit 2) The cable that goes from the RX to the camera has a internal fray inside. The easiest way to test this is if you have another regular AUX cable lying around somewhere. Use that cable instead and see if you still have the same problem. If you don't, then its the cable. If you still have the same problem, it's a defect of the receiver. Hope this helps. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Give Back Documentary! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I'm always of the mind set that if your current gear solves your needs and you are not present with problems, theres no reason to upgrade. Only upgrade if there are problems that your gear can't handle. I talk about this in my "Think Critical" series: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3zO9axytfK8.html Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker yep will for sure see you in the next one.

Hey hey Matthew! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! The clipping happened on the mic capsule level, not the RODE GO level. So clipping should not be a concern with the RODE Lav GO unless your actors are specifically screaming at the top of their lungs causing the capsule to clip. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Many thanks. That’s very helpful.

Hey hey Anthony! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! If you're in the USA there do still have some of the older Sony ECMCS3 for sale on Amazon for $20ish bucks. But as far as the new ECMLV1, I have a feeling its literally the exact same thing, just in the black color and rebranded for todays marketing terms. The original ECMCS3 I remember seeing for many many years and they never updated it. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Lionel! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! It sure looks like an updated version of the ECM-LV1, its not yet available in the USA until the end of next month. I may buy one just to see if there is a difference. Over here it is an additional $10 USD, I wonder if they are phasing out the ECM-CS3? Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you for your quick answer :). So the ECM-LV1 is/might be the update version of the ECM-CS3? Yeah I can't find the ECM-CS3 product page on Sony's swiss webpage, only the ECM-LV1, so maybe it has already been discontinued here. Might wait for your test before buying one then!!!

Hey hey Pawpkorn Visuals! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Hmm... I have used the RODE in a dance studio setting, but I don't believe the studio was as echoee as some I have been in. For me, in this scenario, if the RODE GO is all I have, I would probably do my "RODE GO Reporter mic setup". I show it in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KBLorAFsQow.html This way the person speaking is going right at the mic capsule instead of around it like a normal lav. This in theory would reduce the speakers echo while speaking. The other way is not have the speaker in the studio at all and get their testimonial somewhere else in the building that is not as echoee and use B-roll of whatever or whoever they are talking about. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer, but hope this helps somewhat. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey Juliette! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! If you lavalier has Three color bands on it, this is the wrong lavalier. A lot of cheap lavaliers you buy on Amazon these days is for cellphones and not for traditional wireless systems. Some of them come with an adapter to change it from TRRS to TRS, its a bit cumbersome but thats what you would need to do. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again zagorcuk1966! This is an older video, but I did have access to a Sennheiser ME2 along with my Deity for this major test. To my ears they felt similar enough that I would have just saved the dollars and went with the Deity. Heres that video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t474Bu-7Ftg.html

@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you ! Will watch.

Hey hey renesfoodpassion! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! The BoomXD specifically has a internal low cut filter that takes away the bass rumbles that can't be turned off. I found that out later when talking with the engineers. A design overlook that they fixed in the XU version. So unfortunately no different lav will make it better, however all you need to do is in post, go to your EQ and either just do a default raise bass frequencies. Or you can manually bump up the bass frequencies from 60hz-200hz and that should bring everything back and give a deepness to your voice. I know this is not the most streamlined of solutions, but it's the only thing that'll help bring back the bass of your voice with the Boom XD. Once you find a EQ setting you like you usually can just save it as preset so that all you gotta do it click it on any of your future clips and you'll be good. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey Hey Nate! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! While not immediately, I do plan to revisit the Lark 150 and Blink 500 Pro with this lav test to see how each sounds on those systems. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

Hey hey again Copy Imitation! Unfortunately the RF interference is more just the JK picking up the frequency from the RODE's own Wifi signal instead of the wifi signal around the area. To piggy back on my response earlier, the 500mhz generally don't cause much interference through lavalier mics.

Hey hey PixluxxMusic! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Oddly I'm not familiar with the trending mini mics? Is it for cellphones use or is it a actual traditional wireless audio pack lavalier? The reason I ask is because most of the trending lav mics people talk about are usually build for Smartphones that require an adaptor to work with traditional wireless audio packs. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Its like those colorful tiny mics that plug into your phone and you get them at dollar tree, they are like 4 dollars and come in various color assortments
