Movo WMIC50 2.4GHz Wireless Lavalier Microphone System with Integrated 164-foot Range Antenna (Includes Transmitter with Belt Clip, Receiver with Camera Shoe, Lapel Mic and 2 Earphones)

Once the operator ( me) figured out how to hook it to my H4N this setup worked flawless! Very clear and clean sound. At 50' it starts to break up, but for interviews, well worth the money.

I bought this to capture audio during classroom presentations so my students could review and critique their presentation performance. I was a little concerned that it operated on the 2.4 GHz frequency since that is the same spectrum that many WIFI signals use. Since this is being used in a highly saturated WIFI environment (4 access points on the same floor and 6 additional ones from the floors above and below) I was concerned about potential interference. So far that concern has been unfounded.My setup has the camera at the back of the room about 30 feet from the presenter with a WIFI access point almost directly over the receiver. Placing the microphone about a hands width from the presenters chin there is almost no need to adjust the input gain when it feeds into the camera. Audio comes through crisp and clear with no distortion.The second time I used the microphone the transmitter batteries were dead. This gave me great concern about the power consumption of the units. I replaced the batteries with rechargeable ones and have been diligent to ensure the units are turned completely off after use and have gotten 6 hours of use out of a single charge (6 one hour sessions).One feature that I have not used for live recordings, but have tested it out, is the talk-back loop that allows two-way communication between the units. In my situation it is not necessary but I can see some situations where it would be a nice addition.This is not Sennheiser quality but it is not Sennheiser price either. Over all for a low-end microphone this is a good product for a good price.

I purchased this to shoot some basic "studio" videos for my business. It's how-to/tech reviews shot on a tiny stage in my house, with the camera less than 8 feet from me. I shot a view minutes of video when I got this mic and the sound was fine; when I returned a month or two later to actually shoot full videos I no longer had any audio. I tested the lavalier mic itself plugged into the transmitter, then plugged into the receiver, then directly into the camera, then directly into a stand-alone dvrecorder... no audio in any instance. I plugged a random mic into the dvr and directly to the camera and did have audio... but when I plugged the same mic into the transmitter or receiver, I again had no audio, regardless of channel selection, receiver line out firmly connected to camera. I repeated everything after turning off my wifi router, no difference in results.The tests I ran indicate that:1) The included microphone does not work2) A different mic, that does work, does not record audio when used in the transmitter pack3) A different mic, that does work, does not record audio when used in speaker jack of receiver packIn short, the mic does not work. The transmitter does not work. And the receiver does not work.

Few times am I honestly surprised! This product surprised me! It did everything the product said it would do, but the level of clarity of sound is in the realm of what I would pay 3 times as much for. To help those in similar situationsI purchased this product because I am producing a video for a basketball coach with my Canon 70d. We are producing training videos. The Gym is loud and I was concerned about how much additional noise I would get as some mics pick up everything, but I wanted something better than the Camera's Internal Mic. Much to my surprise the coach's voice was clear without electric hum and even with the balls bouncing I had no trouble understanding him over everything else.The construction of the plastic clip may be suspect, but the device works great!

It works fine and is very easy to set up. But the sound quality is just not as good as either a wired mic or more expensive digital wireless solutions. Compared to those options, I heard much more background hiss and hum, even when not near electrical gear.I'm sure this kit would be OK for general-purpose remote mic applications, like amplifying somebody giving a talk at a conference. But for semi-pro video recording, like for sit-down or walk-around interviews, I think you have to spend more to get more.I decided to upgrade to the RodeLink wireless kit with digital transmission (link: Rode RodeLink FM Wireless Filmmaker System), and the difference is night and day. Much better audio quality, hiss barely noticeable, no hum or buzz (except if mic is next to transmitter), and also very easy to use (except for battery compartment). Yes it's several times the price of the Movo, but to my ears, worth it for a substantial jump in quality. (review edited for tone)

For the money, the sound quality of the Movo mic system is very good. I found that it has significantly better sound quality than the Saramonic UWMIC15 which costs over twice as much. I would have given it a five star rating, but on two different occasions it cut out in the middle of a sermon for about 20 minutes, during which the audio was extremely chopping and inaudible. It was for this reason that I had to return it. It may have been a bad unit, but I didn't try another set to find out. Here is a link to the sermon where it messed up:[...] . This will give you a sample of the sound quality and also of the problem I had with it. The cutting out begins shortly after the 29 minute mark.
