Hotec Wireless Lapel/Lavalier and Headset Microphone System with Mini Rechargeable Receiver, For Recording and Live Performances (Black)

I need to create stories for work, via an IPhone. Using a wired microphone is very difficult. I purchased this in hopes that I could get decent audio without being close to the phone. It worked brilliantly! I used it around 100 feet away from the phone and the audio was very good. There were a couple of times that it sounded over modulated but I will look into to see if I can turn it down a bit. It was simple to use and charges very easily. I also recorded audio tracks on my PC using Audacity software and it worked like a charm. I also reached out to the customer service and got a reply back in a few hours. They want you to have success with their product. This is a great buy! -Pleased Customer

Being that this is one of the cheapest wireless sets that mankind can build, I wasn't expecting too much. But I'm pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of this system into my old mirrorless camera. Had a bit of hiss until I adjusted the camera to the lowest gain, and turned the mic. transmitter gain up to 15, sounded pretty good for voice after that. I compared my voice with this system to my Movo shotgun, and movo stereo mic, it sounded of similar quality which was good enough for me. I have not tested range, but I expect that I will never use this more than about 20 feet away from the camera, should be long enough for me. What I don't like is that huge 1/4 inch connector, and then all the adapters to get to either phone or camera. It would have been a lot better with a good 1/8 inch female connector, or even an 1/8 inch male connector. Something that needs to be known about these. In the description it states that these are coded together to allow multiple systems at the same time. In messing around with the transmitter I managed to reset that coding and thought I had broken my system. If the transmitter in on, and you turn on the receiver and do not get the rf/AF light, here is what to do. Start with receiver off. Turn transmitter on and wait a few seconds. Now hold down the level up and down buttons, and hold down the power button. The display should soon start blinking 901.00mhz, this is the pairing mode. Now turn on the receiver and watch the lights. You should get the rf/AF light flashing about 3 times then goes out. Press the power button on both to turn them off. Power on as normal and you should now be working again. I'm guessing this is how you can use one transmitter with two receivers (multiple cameras), but just a guess until I buy a second system.

Hey, you gonna expect to spend $50 and get professional grade mic technology? Not gonna happen. There is a hum that is easy to hear when you record. This is part of the deal in having a wireless microphone and paying $50. BUT, for your money spent, the overall quality is really good. Remember, you get what you pay for. I was just needing something to help me so I can record for online streaming to do a simple message of encouragement to my viewers. This does the trick. My face is no longer compelled to be close to my iPhone for a decent recording. I can back up from my device now and not have to worry about getting an echo that the condenser mic in my iPhone used to pick up.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality for the price. I was creating video outdoors with my DSLR and it was a bit windy and the sound ended up being pretty good. I saw other reviews where it said people had to put the clip microphone all the way up to their mouth for it to pick up, but I didn't experience that. I had the clip on my jacket and the volume at 16 and it came through just fine, even with wind and background noise.

good value for your money job get done with this microphone. its not perfect, but hey, you are NOT a Hollywood producer right? so believe me - its good enough for you :-) voice quality sometime drop for a second or two. not sure what is the cause. probably bluetooth connection problems. we have to do one shot of the video again but other than that - worked perfectly.
