Review on πŸŽ™οΈ BOYA WM8 Pro Wireless Lavalier Microphone System - 48 Channels, Two Transmitters & One Receiver, Compatible for Canon Nikon Sony DSLR Camera, Camcorder, iPhone Smartphone - Ideal for Interviews and Video Recording by Hien Kent ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thank you for the quality product.

I use in conjunction with atem mini. As for the battery discharge rate, it's fantastic. the receiver discharges the set in 2 hours maximum! but there is a solution - buy a usb-2xaa dummy battery and eat from a powerbank (300 in aliexpress)! Doesn't get hot and lasts all day! The transmitter discharges the batteries slowly, enough for 5 hours of shooting. not critical. Summary - suitable for interviews and conferences in small rooms. but as a PRO solution, boya is clearly not good. if you have money, then you need to take sennheiser. in the same price range it is difficult to find something better, but I will be glad to comments.

Pros
  • quite easy and inexpensive solution for sound recording "in the fields". two microphone outputs into one stereo jack. super compact. There is also a line input on the transmitter and a headphone output on the receiver.
Cons
  • does not automatically search for free channels to reduce noise. it is very inconvenient to manually switch these channels - you need both on the receiver and on the transmitter at once. the sound quality is only suitable for speech. terribly puts batteries, especially the receiver! the sound is unstable, noises occasionally slip through the movement of the subject, even in direct line of sight. obviously, the wireless protocol is primitive there. there is no way to lower the microphone sensitivity on the transmitter. and generally there are few settings. Too much noise, but not critical for an interview.
