If someone can't afford pro level wireless (i.e. a receiver such as the Wisycom MCR54 / Lectrosonics DSR4 / Sony DWR-S03D / Sound Devices A20-RX / Shure ADX5D / etc plus the appropriate matching receivers) then going instead with the fourth generation Sony UWP-D is no brainer decision! (although, I'd recommend 2x UWP-D21 over 1x UWP-D27) This choice is so easy it isn't even close, as the 2nd best choice comes a long long way behind Sony. Sony gives you: True diversity receiver (no other prosumer UHF wireless has this) Has a digital compander (avoiding the issues that say for instance the Sennheisers have with their analogue compander, giving you better quality audio from the Sonys. Essentially, the Sony wireless transmission behave more comparably to how Lectrosonics Digital Hybrids do, using the same mix of digital + analogue for transmission) A slot receiver (again, no other prosumer wireless does this! Although, sadly not unislot, you'd need to get the Sony DWR-S03D instead. Hopefully Sony will bring out a UWP-D receiver one day in the future with unislot compatibility) An option of using the smart shoe on Sony cameras to feed it audio directly, skipping doing another D/A conversion, along with numerous other benefits such as being able to add more audio channels than otherwise or being able to go cableless with the receiver or not needing to do battery changes either for the receiver (these are all features entirely unique to the Sony wireless) Sony UTX-P40 Wireless Plug-On Transmitter supplies phantom power. (the Sennheiser EW100 G4 plug-on transmitter does not) Headphone output (but yet again, the standard Sennheiser G4 doesn't have this) An option for a dual receiver (again, the Sennheiser G4 doesn't have this) An option for getting it in the 941 to 960 MHz frequency range (again, the Sennheiser G4 doesn't have this, Usually only pro wireless offers products in this frequency range) Backwards compatible with all past UWP products. Just a few of these reasons would be enough to make a strongly compelling case to buy the Sony UWP-D21! (especially as Sony is priced similar to or cheaper than the Sennheiser competition) But add them all up together? Sony blows away all the competition. There are literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of options for lav mics for the Sony wireless just merely listed on the one B&H website alone: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/products/mini-microphones/ci/3779?filters=fct_compatible-with_744%3Asony%2Cfct_connector-type_745%3A3.5mm-mini-plug|3.5mm-mini-plug-locking There are zillions of accessories for the Sony UWP-D system, such as these (would you like for instance a battery pack for your Sony transmitter so that you can run it for over 24 hours? You can do that!!): www.hlaudio.de/sony-pro-audio/wireless-zubehoer/ Unfortunately when people hear "Sony" they think of "cameras", not audio. What most people don't realize is that Sony's name itself comes from the latin word for audio: "sonus"! Sony originally started out as purely an audio company, and has been making wireless since the 1950's.
Didn’t come out with a clear answer for what I need. My two things are film making and guerilla interviewing, so im thinking about the DJII cause i can use the transmitter mic to record someone by holding it like a microphone, and also could hook up some lac mics for the film making and put it in the actors pocket. Am i correct in assuming its a good option? Also does it have backup recording?
That's a good plan, my all-round fav is the dji mic. The internal recording has space for 14 hrs so you can literally run the transmitter all day as your backup for interference issues. And it can record a safety track at -6db in case the audio gets too loud and clips.
Great Video. Been testing the Lark Max on an Android Smartphone and it goes through multiple walls and around a chimney in my house. I even walked outside the house and it picked up audio but had a few dropouts doing a harder test on it but the range is really good inside and out with the receiver attached to an Android Smartphone. Please get Hollyland to send you a Lark Max to test!
Jokes were on point. I put my headphones on and noticed a lot of buzzing for the comica. Not sure if that was just me but the DJI sounded the clearest.
Cool video, although it might be better to test them one at a time, I wonder about the interference of all the mics being so close together and competing for signal all at the same time.
I purchased Comica mics twice and both times one of the transmitter did not work. It was cheaply built. These were wired but its really annoying spending money even if its on the cheaper side and something is still broken. That was when the price for the wired version was the same cost as the wireless now. I just got a boom pole and mic instead
I see you have a "Virginia is for Film Lovers" shirt! Did you visit Virginia/live there? It's a beautiful place! I've been attempting to film my own short film there but it's very hard to find locations
Will someone PLEASE tell me who is in the painting between The Dude and Travis Bickle? It looks like Kenny Rogers or an older Malcolm McDowell. Somehow I know neither of those are correct.
The DJI Mic and 7RYMS have safety track options, which will record a 2nd track at lower volume to help prevent clipping. Comica doesn't have a feature like this, but hopefully it's going into a sound recorder anyway and not straight into camera.
There isn't a single transmitter/receiver pair on the planet which does 32bit. Then again, people do overstate the "benefits" of 32bit, as is obvious when you consider that there also isn't a professional field recorder on the planet either that does 32bit!
Putting two or more transmitters in close proximity can cause intermodulation distortion which wreaks havoc on getting a clean signal from any of them. The dropouts sounded like this problem was happening. You need to do this test one system at a time to get a true comparison.
@@jmcclary4941 Oh really? Then I will have to disregard the demo I saw in the Sennheiser Wireless training class that I took 10 years ago where the Sennheiser engineer brought two body pack transmitters close together and the RF RTSA display showed a third IM frequency created from the two TX frequencies.
After everything I have reads, and how much I would like to save money, and how I would like to be able to grab 3 or 4 lav sets in one lower cost go. I know I am going to end up buying Sennheiser G4s. I want to be able to be hired and also deliver perfection. And nothing I see other than those makes me feel really confident. Yea if it is just your RU-vid short then fine, but I want to move and shake and be a mover and shaker. I'm spending the money and going with pro quality. Oh well.
You're right, if it is just merely someone talking in their bedroom direct to camera for a youtube video then these wireless mics he's reviewing will do just "fine". But for serious filmmaking? They're total absolute crap! However for goodness sake, don't get those awful Sennheiser G4 wireless either! Especially not if you're aspiring to do paid work for others.

As the Lectrosonics 400 series are Digital Hybrids and going for very affordable prices these days on eBay vs what they were new or what modern new digital wireless would cost.
Hi, I have a macbook air with only thunderbolt and 3.5mm slot. Is there any reason why I can't choose the device (Comica) in sound "input" ? It doesn't seem to work on my computer in zoom. Can anyone help please ?face-pink-tears

i was just talking to my thespian friend today ,about how we are going to boom a shotgun mic through a phone ,and daisy chain it on a tripod to try and get proper sound for his monologues🤣😅😆
You should drop your movie the hands you shake would love to see it drop it on your channel it can blow up like your other feature film did. A lot of people worked hard on the movie mostly you let the world see it
From my research the Deity W.Lav Pro is a solid entry-level lav, I'm going to be picking up a couple soon - amzn.to/3Ezv7O2 Or you could rent a professional lav like the COS-11D
DJI was on back order for 5 months, I ended up cancelling and getting Hollyland Lark 150s. Which is a shame because I wanted the DJI specifically for the onboard recording.
