Movo WMX-1 2.4GHz Wireless Lavalier Microphone System Compatible with DSLR Cameras, Camcorders, iPhone, Android Smartphones, and Tablets (200' ft Audio Range)

I purchased this wireless microphone for some instructional videos that I am creating for work. The first one I purchased, the WMX-1-UL, didn't have a line out for the camera so I purchased this one as it not only has the line out but all of the cables needed to set it up. It works great! Sound is loud and clear. I only stand about 12 feet away from the camera in front of a green screen so I can't speak to recording at any distance, but so far I have no complaints.

I live in an urban center surrounded by radio stations, cell towers and skyscrapers filled with W-Fi. Radio frequency inference (RFI) is a daily struggle. Poorly shielded mics, audio recorders, preamps and cables pickup static, hum and radio broadcasts, spoiling the audio track of my videos. Up to this point I’ve had no luck with a dozen different shotgun and lavalier mics I tried on my Canon EOS R6 MK II. All suffered from RFI, including a top 40 radio station so loud it sounded like a background track! I saw the closeout sale on the Movo WMX-1 2.4GHz Wireless Lavalier and figured it was worth a try for a couple Jacksons.The WMX-1 shipped quickly (direct from Movo) and was well presented in a nice travel case with cutouts for the transmitter, receiver and accessories. I popped in a freshly charged set of AAA Eneloops, snapped on the cold shoe mount and paired the transmitter and receiver. Movo’s instructions were clear: pairing and connections were duck soup! I was up and running in a few minutes.I went for a test run in my RFI infested urban center. I shot video in known RFI heavy rooms. I used the transmitter with both the included lavalier mic and a Sennheiser MKE 400 shotgun mic. The Movo lav mic acted like a radio antenna and picked up local radio stations and assorted static in downtown Honolulu. It was useless. However, the Sennheiser MKE 400 shotgun—a fairly well shielded designed—was clean much of the time through the WMX-1. There was RFI but less than the lav and mainly in RFI hotspots.The receiver has a hot output signal so I set input gain slightly below 25% on my R6 MK II, with levels mostly hitting -12 to -6. The result in Final Cut Pro was a strong and clean audio track.I prefer using Eneloops (rechargeable) AAA batteries over built-in batteries: no waiting to charge or sending gear to the manufacturer to replace failing batteries. Just pop in a spare set of AAA and go. My only complaint is the lack of a battery charge gauge, albeit you get a basic red LED flash when the charge is low.As expected for the price, build quality is ultra light duty and not bulletproof for pro use. For my indoor casual use it is perfectly fine. Albeit, labeling of input and outputs is small and hard to see.Although a mono lav mic, it has a TRS stereo plug. When output through the transmitter you get two equally loud mono tracks in the stereo channel (as expected). However, if you plug the lav mic directly into an audio recorder, computer or camera, the signal is panned hard left. So be aware the mic is only useful with the Movo transmitter and receiver.Great wireless system for tiny bucks: sounds good, partially RFI resistant (the lav is terrible) and easy to use. If you live in a low RFI area, or work inside a reinforced concrete building, this would be a wonderful budget wireless system. If you live near a radio station and cell towers, move along.

As many other university professors I had to move to online sessions due to COVID-19. The WMX-1 is my latest addition in the search for the most suitable microphone for recording lectures. While I use a Logiech headset for meetings and any online session that requires me to listen to someone else talking I use use this mic for when not need to listen to any audio. My previous recording mic was a wired Movo LV10 and needed something that would let me get up from the PC without having to place the mic in the same position in order to maintain volume consistency while recording.The pairing is super easy and the connection indicators easy to see and understand. The ability to monitor the audio is also great to make sure no clipping is taking place. Provides a good audio quality that requires little to no modification (depending on background noise). Would love to this mic with a rechargeable battery or a battery indicator. Besides that, everything else is perfect. I'm even looking into the Movo WMX-20.

This is a good option to start off. It’s a cheaper plastic build and you can only use their lav mics for it to work. But the audio quality is good. And the range works well.

This is my second set. The first one lasted 2+ years and just stopped working. I got this set again last week because it's a really good system and the mic does great even in the wind. I used it once and it's no longer working... even after changing batteries several times in case my batteries were weak. Bummed! Returning it...looking elsewhere. Their newer version looks like it was designed by someone who's never used a lavalier mic? Noone wants a giant cockroach looking mic on their shirt.

i tried for so long to find the right recording product.. what i don't like about these is that they require batteries BUT but but.. even compared to me doing this horribly complex blue yeti mic setup with all the pop filters to cover how it picked up on every breath which was expensive!this is something a well known youtuber uses and frankly they're great and obviously you can walk around with them.

They are really good for the price! However they’re range isn’t the best that is something that could be worked on and they pick up backround noise but I’ll still give them 5 stars
