There is a new compact wireless microphone kit in town and it's half the price of the Rode Wireless Go. Question is, can it match the quality of the trusted Rode brand? Watch the video review to find out.

I have the SYNCO and I'm absolutely happy with it. Don't need to make recordings with people being more distant than, let's say 10 - 20 meters. Aditionnally, the SYNCO has a headphone output in the receiver part (where I can check the sound level etc.) - an important feature for me which is not provided with the RODE.

@BaliSurfHunters Рік тому

I just ordered mine and the ability to use a headset to monitor input made me select it over rhe rode.

@MattSpaugh 3 роки тому

Thanks for the great video Tom - love your stuff. Always very clear, very concise and well-produced! After seeing this, I'm ordering the Synco. My two biggest issues (and the reason I never bought one) with the Rode was that you had to buy two complete kits if you needed to mic two people - and, the nickel and dime mentality on accessories. I get the impression that the Rode may have stronger signal integrity which was causing the Synco to suffer performance-wise when both were in use.

@Amberdogproductions 3 роки тому

very good video and great testing. Now I need to figure what to do. The 2 mic option is really tempting.

Excellent review Tom, for me the Synco, is close enough that I have no problem choosing it and that is without even mentioning that the dual transmitter Synco (with the works) still costs $50 less than a single bare Rode system. As an aside, there is another system it would be nice for you to review the Moman C2, which has the display screens similar to the Rode but has the full set of accessories like the Synco and is also a good $50 cheaper than the Rode. Cheers!

Hi Tom, congratulations on your review. It was enlightening for anyone looking to buy a microphone. I preferred Synco for the sound quality and the cables. I was only concerned with the internal batteries of the two microphones. Like any electronic product, they have a lifetime. When they stop charging, will the owner have to buy a new microphone?

I think it's great to have the wireless option if you need it for livestreaming or need it to feed directly into the camera for some reason but otherwise I'd prefer to just avoid the wireless interference and distance limitations by using the mic recorders like the Tascam DR-10L. Of course you can always use both right!?

@thomassantoso 3 роки тому

The one thing missing from this comparison is how well it works through walls and clothes (like if you have it in your pocket while using a lav). The Synco has some really good features, but it seemed to be cutting out a lot during the bad weather part and when the signal was going through your body, which could be a deal breaker.

@TomAntos 3 роки тому

Yes. I was hoping this was going to be a cheap alternative to Rode but honestly I would not rely on it on a paid job

@JorisMaas 3 роки тому

@@TomAntos If you use this in an interview setup with just 1 talent left, 1 talent right and you as videographer in front of them (about 6 feet away or something), will the Synco set with 2 microphones be good enough for paid jobs then? I shot an interview today with just 1 shotgun mic (wired into the mic in of my GH4) which worked fine, but the cable is not so handy (I placed the shotgun mic on the table in front of the 2 talents just outside the shot).

@TheRealChrisVessey 2 роки тому

I noted the direction of the rain meant that the Synco was getting hit from the side, the RODE from the top. That might have had something to do with the glitching. I got the Synco G1 A2 kit and it seems fine. I'm not going to be using long distance - it's going to be for interviews and narration. I'm sure over the shorter distances it will be fine.

@enzoe9648 2 роки тому

@fabthefab75 3 роки тому

Synco is an entry level product. Not bad at all for the price. Rode is a step above. Pricey but the audio is better with much less drop outs outside. The difference should be minimal indoors though, so keep that in mind if you have no use of the mic outdoors... Finally I like the two mics and one receiver option of the synco. Good option.

Not to mention the fact that it has is not even half the price and that fact that there's a 2transmitter version.

Et est ce que tu sais si le fait d'utiliser un micro cravate externe réduit ou supprime ces bruits. J'hésite à acheter le G2 en ce moment et ton avis pourrait m'être d'une grande aide

I have stupid Rode mic , I have been using them for 2 months and now the receiver need to be connected to the charger all the time ( something wrong in the battery) , it’s super hassle for me to hold the power bank that connected to the mic and it’s always turning off while taking videos , then later on I realize that no voice in my video, I had to repeat the whole shit again . I couldn’t use the warranty because I bought them from Japan FREE TAX . Any way I couldn’t skip the video without saying thank you , press LIKE and leave a comment .. however I don’t comment in videos but you deserve it ..You did a great Job and you helped me and now I am going to buy Synco .

@neilfullframe 3 роки тому

I was thinking of picking up the synco as a backup but I’ll stick with my comica XD boom since they work perfectly. Crisp sound and long range. But I guess they should be for $269 but worth every penny. I use mine for wedding days and can’t afford to miss audio. I’m usually about 70-100 feet away from the groom and officiant so the Synco would be a no go for me

@branshen 3 роки тому

I would say that monitor out of the camera would be better as that would be the final audio. Also, you'll be able to hear any issues caused by the camera preamps that way, e.g. preamps running too hot and clipping.

@JWS1968 2 місяці тому

I've seen so many videos now 2023 of the Rode Wireless Go and it does so well outdoors in wind and under clothing with the wind jammer attached. Always very strong signal and clean high quality audio. I've also seen reviews of shotgun mics where the youtube person is wearing the Wireless Go and it often sounds better than the shotgun being reviewed.

@AngelusHD 3 роки тому

Hoped the receiver would have had a mic to. So you can use it as a mic on the camera without using both. Or the transmitter would have had an mic in port, that would also fix the problem.

@volkswatson 3 роки тому

yeah we ALWAYS keep the transmitter facing the camera on the Go mic system. You can be less than 20' and it will cut out if you hang it on your back pocket... Def recommend a lapel mic. Much less annoying!

@Don-C.L. 3 роки тому

This feels like it's the best for your voice. Often some mics, original mic used, does sound bottlenecked

@HowDidIGet3700Subs 2 роки тому

I have the SYNCO & like it but it has one bug: it jumps to the next gain setting when you turn it off & on. From 1 to 2, and then 2 to 3. Then 3 to 1 & repeat. So, between uses you have to keep manually setting the gain to avoid having some takes louder than others, and without a gain indicator the only way to know the current gain level is through headphones. (Or keep a notebook of what the previous gain level was so you know the current one is one above)

I Simply love the Synco Sound quality. I bought recently G2 and WOW. the Lapel Mic is so directional and quite only picks the direct sound. I was planning to buy the RODE but why Do I have to pay for a small difference in sound quality almost double the price. RODE Single Mic setup with Lav Mic cost you around $300 plus you have to buy the case if you want to keep the kit safe separately and if you want to use 2 Mic setup have to buy the other cable and then bracket. but if you just pay $150 and you will get everything. I means Everything with double mic setup and I just keep this for my run and gunshot and also when I need to use it with mobile setup this is amazing kit.

thats still pretty cool that this synco can sound like the rode or as good as - especially at close range or long range without interference... if you are in a bind for budget - this is a no-brainer. how often are you 230 ft away or 200 ft away from your camera -- mm.. who knows.. for me, i would go with both - rode being my main mic, but synco being a backup any day.

Since I need 2 transmitters and stereo/separated sound the Synco is great. The Comica Boom has that option but I don't like its sound at all. The Synco sounds very good for its price, though the Rode is certainly is better for wireless strength and a slightly better sound, though small mic position differences would make way more difference to the sound than these have between them. Overall I'm impressed with the Syco and your review. This expose has convinced me the Synco will work for my needs. Thank you again for your timely effort.
