Great easy to use wireless microphone system! best in class!

(test video included) I've been looking for a wireless Lava microphone system for a long time. The problem was simple: they are expensive. and they usually only come with one transmitter. If you want two channels, be prepared to double the already high price. But not with this Synco system. For about $150 you get a complete system: two transmitters per receiver. I've been watching them on Facebook since they were announced a few months ago and I had to jump in and buy them as soon as they became available on Revain. Packaging and case - everything is beautiful and durable. Excellent quality! They pack little but play big. And all the accessories also fit into the case. Everything you need is included, including microphones. They also have a clip to easily attach them to clothing (receivers). They mate immediately. All three parts charge via USB-C, and Synco includes a three-way cable for simultaneous charging. It couldn't be easier. One of their promotional items was "ease of use" and I didn't see that in other reviews. So I asked my sister to try them without my help (she speaks in Spanish during the video). As you can see in the video, she just connected it to the camera and started recording. The in-camera audio is set to auto metering, so you'll get a bit of noise and spikes. And you can see her stepping away from the camera and even talking through walls, and the audio barely breaks when she's furthest away. I really don't think you can go wrong with this Lava wireless microphone: great set, great sound, easy to use, portable, compatible with multiple devices. and one of the highlights: great customer service. That's my top priority: no matter how good the product is, if a company has bad customer service, I don't want it. And the people at Synco made me feel at home a couple of times when I went to them with questions and help. Overall I think this is a good buy!
