Wireless Mic ULTIMATE Comparison - Rode vs DJI vs Hollyland vs Godox vs Synco 

Just a quick note with the Virso M2, at 11:42 it's not a problem with the wind screen, you muted the transmitter by pressing the power button. When muted, the transmitter displays a solid red light. And the sound quality had that hissing noise because your camera preamps were not set correctly, I have noticed that the Virso System needs you to lower the preamps at least to -6db. But yeah, the review stays the same... good sound, bad design. The main benefit of that systems is that you can store internal recording as WAV files into microSD cards, with the Rode system you need to use the app to export a proprietary file extension to WAV. Hope you find this comment helpful. Have a nice one!

Great video, Anthony! Super detailed and a great comparison of the key features and also gripes with each mic! This video deserves more views! As a bit of feedback, if you care (😅), I'd recommend redoing your thumbnail but with you holding all the actual products - the current one makes it look like you dont actually have all the products and you're just talking about them, whereas if you had a picture of you holding all the actual products, someone thinking about clicking on the video immediately knows you're going to be testing the actual products - i think it would make a big difference on the CTR. Also - I also have the Godox Verso S M2, and when you moved the wind muff, you pressed the power button/dial, which acts as a mute button for the mic, so it actually wasn't anything to do with the 3.5mm jack. I agree though that it's a pretty bad design of the deadcat attachment and the mute button is wayyyy too easy to press accidentally! Thanks again for a great video! 👌

Links to hear side-by-side quickly: 0:25 XLR sample, 1:05 Rode GO II, 3:55 Holly, 7:35 GODOX Virso S, 13:01 Synco G2, 16:01 DJI

Excellent review breakdown. Really thorough and educational.

Thank you for an excellent review and comparison video.

Which camera did you use for this video? Thank you 🤙🏽

This was really helpful. Thanks!!

Great review, I am new and looking at the different options. The DJI and Hollyland look great, but that Synco G2 is less than 1/2 the price of those kits, that is huge for a beginner. I see you on not having onboard recording, but for my use case (start up channel, interior recordings only, using the wired lav mic to a phone) they seem like a much more cost effective play.

Great review!! Thanks

Helful content, thanks for posting. Subscribed.

truly a comparison, should definitely watch

Nice job Anthony. Lot of works to put this comparison together. I have the Rode and DJI products. I like the DJI best, accessing the onboard recordings from the transmitters are so much easier, as computer (ipad or iphone) recognizes the transmitter as a drive - with Rode have to access recordings via Rode app and handling data files is much more cumbersome.

great video i listened very carefully and i now know which one to get.thank you.

Your video production makes me feel an unlimited sense of creativity and possibility!🥰🥰

I am shopping for an economical lav system. I have looked at them online but was still confused. I don't have time or money to buy one with bad features. Your review helped me sort out what concerns me about some of these and what features would be beneficial. I would like to know how you use the onboard recording. If you have other videos demonstrating.

DJI had a presence in the lows during your 170-yard test that was pleasing to the ears. Rode was a little harsh in the highs to me through my Yamaha H7's. Godox needs to hang it up. Synco and Hollyland last pics for me.

Wish DJI would make a 3.5MM plug in like the Boya Boyalink has. Checkout the Comica Vimo S mics. They're the Airpods design you want. The mics are great too. I have them & use them along with the DJI mics.

I bought the Virso and suffered with the accidental pause due to the very sensitive botron. Today Godox support sent me a Firmware V1.56 and the accidental pause has been solved. I am happy with the result. Now I have combined the virso with the VDS-M2 shotgun microphone. If you have the Virso's you can still order the new firmware.

Dear Sir, Greetings.Thank you for your video. Please guide me , regarding the use of Rode Wireless PRO, as wireless hands free mic for public address for mega church meetings etc. where preacher and interpreter stands together with their mobiles etc. 1) Rode Wireless PRO being GHz,will our mobiles,wi-fi interference with it's signals, so that the voice gets affected?( Not saying about feed back, but about interference from other signals ) 2) Can Rode Wireless PRO receiver be connected directly to the sound amplifier or is it possible only through a mixer ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW,IF IT IS FINE TO GO FOR IT FOR MY SPECIFIC USE ?

Thanks! Wish you would have attached the mics to your shirt and compare them as well.

nice vid man

A kindred spirit. Someone who hates flimsy dead cats like me. Your the only one on RU-vid that cares and shows us. No BS . haha.. I own the original rode GO.. serenity now 😮

Great comparison review, I thank you for everything that you do. Just to show I watched the video to the very end……. I love you 2 brother and I hit that like button. Yeah

Great job on this one. I would've loved to see the Ankerwork mics in there. I see Godox finally got into internal recording. Good on them.

Great review. I find the Rode pricing insane . Here in South africa 🇿🇦 Rode wireless go ii with the case purchased separately =$574 and the Rode Pro = R634 today as per EX Rates. Hollyland offers much more at the better quality. The rode wireless go ii without the case costs more already.

Very helpful, but it would be great if I could navigate the video better to find a specific mic's review. Video segments would be helpful

Needs update with Saramonic's Blink500 B2+

Ok so that was super helpful, I’m a newbie so I need simple. Plus you have sleeves, I have sleeves so I know your cool. Thanks. Subscribed

Neewer has gotten into the wireless game as well.

I ordered the hollyland just got them to me they sound better than DJI and Rodes. Thanks

32bit only works with recorders that can take that! Cameras can't handle sound at that level of detail! But you cand record internally (in the receiver) in 32 bit and then do the sync with the camera scratch sound

I subscribed because you used a sharpie to write on cardboard. Less is more #iconic

My boya are ten times better than the wireless go, wireless go are way too hot on low so i sold mine right away after using them on a trip.. I watched wireless come and go but my boya have been amazing and they go a massive distance. Im used to using wireless dj mics at events like the sm58 so i needed something bullet proof..

Just bought the Synco G2 and while it might not have a lot of features or onboard recording, I love how simple and easy it is to use. Not only that, the recordings sound great! Maybe if I get more serious about content creation, I will go with something like the Rode Wireless Go 2, but for right now, I am happy with the Synco.

The holly land mark max is amazing! I own all these mics! And I am obsessed with the lark max ones! The audio is amazing through any condition I used them on

Thank you again for the Rode wireless go II brother.

My man❤ Salute🫡

Good idea with the rotating clip, I was missing the fulaim x5 in this review , I think it could be a good comparison having in mind the price

Crazy you called out 32 Bit Float. Rode is about to drop it now with Time Code. I use multiple Tentacles Sync Track E but this new Rode definitely has my attention. Great comparison

Freaking DJI...receiver clip can barely squeeze into a camera hot shoe, but then slides out of cold shoe on a camera cage..WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!

i subbed from the first line lol

You wanna add Rode wireless pro

nice video,please help us do a review,thank you!

dji best

just returned my Hollyland mark, sorry but the Rode go seems to be amazing on high frequency and superior on audio quality in general

I frickin HATE it when reviewers don't use wireless mics as intended. It doesn't give a true audio representation. Stop holding the g*d d^&n receiver and clip it on your shirt.

Shame you didn’t include the Fulaim x5. Especially since they essentially invented this format

Interestingly, your video made me choose synco. One thing you didn't mention was the price. Synco costs almost half, with audio quality very close to the best, it is easy to use and does not have the fatal flaws of Godox. It also has the best solution for the case among those presented. Here in Brazil, equipment is very expensive and contractors pay little, so Synco makes a lot of sense.

We combined Rode Lavaliere 2 mics with the DJI mic set. The sound is warm, full, and rich, and we don't have that transmitter on the shirt look. The low profile of the Lav 2 is great, and the front facing capsule helps smooth out side-to-side movement of a talking subject. The Lav mics are not cheap, but they do sound great for the price.
