- Godox is a brand that's well known for its surprisingly great quality lighting solutions for both photo and video at affordable prices, but did you know that they also make microphones, too?
In our latest test video in our long-running #TheMeasure series, we take a look at the Godox WMicS1 Pro Wireless microphone system. Not the world's most catchy name and at first glance, you'll see these are more traditional-style lavalier packs. The larger rectangular design seems to be more of a rarity nowadays.
Watch our comprehensive review on these low-cost lavs, [at the time of reviewing, the Godox WMicS1 kit2 UHF Wireless Microphone System with 2pcs TX1 Portable Body-pack Transmitters + 1pc RX1 Portable Receiver that we reviewed, came in at just under £215.00) here and be sure to leave us your thoughts and comments below.

Thanks for your review. I am trying to stay well away from wireless systems which use wired lapel mics and are powered by external batteries but I bought this to have an UHF option when I need something more reliable than 2.4 GHz systems .
I would like to add two pieces of information to the review : The WMic S1 Pro system is compatible with iPhones straight out of the box. No need of interfaces or anything like that. Just the usual TRS to TRRS cable to lightning cable. The system is also compatible with Godox's TX3-XLR plug on transmitter which was designed for the previous system model, the WMic S1.
This way, you have here a complete UHF wireless system suitable for ENG work.
P.S. I think people could do without the distracting background music that plays even during the audio test.
I bought this after watching your video. I'm eyeing the WH M1 UHF mic 🎤 as I type this. Loving the metal construction and overall solid build quality. Thanks for your video!
Thanks! I was wondering why in the video he is talking about 'a mostly plastic build', while Godox is advertising a full metal construction.
Hello. At 8 minutes, a clear noise can be heard. Is that microphone noise? Or is it the environment noise?
Update: If you leave the AA batteries in the transmitter packs there is noticeable vampire drain. Oddly enough the reciever pack doen't have this issue. Just my experience.
Thanks for your feedback!
I wanted to know if you already tried to connect the receiver in the XLR-way into an audio recorder (like a Zoom for example),
I'm planning to connect this way for my sound kit but i'm curious.
@@davidson.mp4 No, but I just got a Sony z90 with XLR handle with gain adjustments and I'm happy with the results so far.
