Hey, I'm living in China where the DJI and rode2 have a big VAT added and domestic brands like synco and boya are significantly better value. You're the best channel I've seen that covers these brands and was wondering how you'd compare the xm6 s2 and the symco, which both run just over $100 USD here. Appreciate the content -- have suscribed

I finally took my Synco G2 out to play today. Filmed an almost 2.5 hour memorial. Sound quality is fantastic. It did require a little denoising in Izotope but that only takes a minute for that length of a clip. Simple use, the display is very clear and easy to read. These babies just work!

Thank you for this, I recently received having bought on sale at B&H. I'm testing and have found a couple of issues that you don't mention. The most worrying is I've often muted the transmitter accidentally and it's so easy to do. Do you know if you can override that? Secondly, something more minor is the furry wind muffs just don't stay in place, it feels like wind gust would take them off. Enjoy your channel.

I came across your excellent review while considering the Rode system. I am now trying to come up with reasons to buy the Rode instead of this. - and I can’t. Indeed, if both sets were the same price Synco scores higher due to being supplied with all of the accessories. I make cycling content and often interview someone riding next to me, so this would be perfect. I shall be buying and have subscribed.

Old ears indeed. This pack is one notch beneath the rode in terms of medium highs and indeed have a bit more rounded bass response. It's obvious if you are accustomed to sound. Nothing that any good EQ cannot fix. BTW i own them both. The real plus is the price. If you choose Rode, you have to buy two lavalier extra...

I will have to say that I was struggling for a few months on what to go with!!! I have been stuck on the blinks and Rodes until I came across the Synco brand , the other version with out the scree.. it had mix reviews very little said good and some were just down right saying don’t buy it. The Rode had seemed to be winning!!! I am always open to hearing a great review even after maybe hearing 5 reviews before that we’re not soo good lol 😂 just to not miss out on something!!! When you compared them to the blink pro’s you immediately grabbed me and when I heard them with in the split second of switching over from Rode to Synco. The sound on them were great and I’m not even using head phones? Which i normally am doing, coming from a musician and producer perspective as well as music artist I need to see the quality of sound because I am live a lot on my platforms with other artists and others in the industry so my sound has to be A+. So thank you for this great Video. I will Most likely go with this pair over the blinks and the Rode!!!

Just a question, with it having an out port and a headphone port, could I run a cable directly into a camera so the audio is recorded directly from the out, and then connect the headphone jack to a speaker? I am going to be filming some basketball coaches workshops and I need to be able to use a loudspeaker to get the voice out across the gym, but also need to be able to film it with direct audio for online publishing. Thanks

Just found this review recently while looking at wireless lavalier mic systems and found it to be very helpful. Has anyone out there used this system with an iPhone 12 series phone or something similar? I’m curious if this works well with it as I’m planning to shoot a vlog when I go on a trip next month and this looks like it would work great with 2 people being mic’ed up. Please share any experiences you folks may have.

Great informative video! Thank you for this. Just a question regarding to stereo test as you have used the in-built mic on it. Am wondering, if I will use a Y-cable 3.5mm TS / TS to TRS for livestreaming as a stereo mix, will it work? Thank you in advanced.
@GeekyNerdyTechy Рік тому
You can run the receiver in mono and that will work for live streaming.
@adnan_velic 2 роки тому
There is noticeable static in the syncos. You need to adjust your gain levels on camera plus the syncos properly. Other than that the syncos are great.
@daprincehwc 2 роки тому
the synco sound like a condenser mic, while the rode sound like a dynamic mic, noise rejection is better on the rode, probably because the synco sound brighter it attract more noise.

@GeekyNerdyTechy 2 роки тому
The Saramonic is a really great pack and also offers more flexibility overall as you can change not only the input gain of the mics but the output gain to the camera. This is as good in every other way and slightly stronger when it comes to a distance test.

@cowhidemusic8904 2 роки тому
I have the original Synco G1 A2 pack. I found that if I bend my head down and talk, it is easy to clip the internal mic when the pack is clipped to my collar. If I used the lavalier, then it would clip when playing a guitar amp in the room no matter the gain on the pack. So I never really liked these. Any better for the G2?
@GeekyNerdyTechy 2 роки тому
If you talk or blow air into any mic it will distort, this is no exception. Maybe use the dead cat wind sock on inside as well. I usually leave it on most of the time (or just turn the pack sideways on your shirt instead of up)
@DungarooAdventures Рік тому
These are basically 50% cheaper than the Rode Wireless Go II, so overall great value but I think the little hissing sounds and poor visibility of the screen in bright sunlight is enough to deter me to save up and get the Rodes in my opinion.

Very helpful... I just have a question... how long does the battery last on a full charge? would it last a entire wedding day?

It really depends on the size of the battery. NPF batteries come in all sizes. You'll get a few hours out of the larger ones but the beauty is you can externally power these with any 5v power source like a phone charger, for example.

What you might also be hearing is also phase cancellation when you hear two mono signals on the same source at different distances. If you are shooting on your own mono is the easiest for best results with a single transmitter.
