Impressive piece of kit on the whole, especially the distance recording. Could be just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks Jason.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
The built in mic sounds surprisingly good and doesn't pick up much low frequency noise. That's good, because a scenario where one can forget the lav mic or simply doesn't have the time to install and connect every piece, is a probable one.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
great review...seems to work very well..using it with the mic sounds the best..thx 4 sharing.. vinny
Hey Vinny! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
super video! thanks,
You’re welcome! 😁👍
that's a great system, on Amazon they have some great combo systems. The quality of the mic's really, really, good.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Nice video and a nice yard! :)
I'll check that system out when I am ready to start shooting outside of my studio.
I'm curious about how you got the time markers to show up in the time slider at the bottom of the video. That is pretty slick. I am working on an hour long video now and it would be great if I could use a similar technique to help people jump to the chapters they are looking for.
Hey Thanks! It' super easy to add the markers in the video slider. Look at my video description and all you have to do is start with 0:00 and then after that add the times you want the 'chapters' or topics to start at. It will automatically put it in the video above. It's a great tool!
Thanks for the Yadlovski compliment! haha. Had to use the kids playhouse to film. Needed a place to put all that stuff! Audio got a little wonky on me, but whatcha gonna do! 😁
@@JasonYadlovski - I thought was good. Maybe a little bumpy, but you were outside testing a wireless system. Yeah, it was fine.
@@JasonYadlovski - That is awesome. I will definitely give that a go.
I am working on a detailed How-to-Play Axis & Allies 1942. I am expecting it to be about 1:10:00-ish. It is going to need chapter markers.
Yeah, I struggled with not being happy with the audio on this one. Had to settle with 'done is better than perfect'. 😁
The chapter markers are great. Such a help for people who are watching.
Nice review. Certainly sounded better (to my untrained ear) than your built in mic! A comparison with the Rode Wireless Go (which it clearly emulates) would be interesting. Thx!
Thanks! I agree, I'm real curious to see what the difference would be. Maybe I can ask Rode to send me one....😁
Love the intro
Thanks!
Your welcome!
Thank you so much!!! Really helpful. One question, what´s the name of the cable you suggested for connecting an apple cellphone to the transmitter? and is this lack of wire what makes the video recorded directly from the phone to have no noise... no audio?
Thank you!
Hi! You'll need a TRRS cable that comes with the unit and you'll need a plug that can go from a phone (for me it's an apple lightening connector) to a 3.5mm jack. The iPhone I have came with one of those connectors. Thanks for watching!
I've found that by placing a rubber glove over the Mics in my Zoom H4n Pro I can eliminate 99% of wind moise with out a dead cat. The dead cat for the Zoom products is junk anyway. Try placing the mic in a rubber glove or a piece of scotch tape over the mic hole and stand in front of a veriable speed fan. Would make a great follow up.
Great tip! I never would have thought of that.
It's great review for buyers
Thanks for watching! 😁👍
Nice bit of kit - doesn't seem to be available in the UK yet...
Thanks for watching! Not sure when it will be available there. 🤔
Hey hey! I just got the two mic Pixel kit and was wondering what level settings did you find worked the best for the receiver and transmitter? It seems to distort a bit at full volume, like it's overdriving the recorder. I heard you say the Tx was set to 12db. Same for the Rx?
Hi! Congrats on picking up the mics! I haven’t used them in a while, I’d have to check to see what I used. Ideally I’d keep them as low as you can and still get a good levels. Balance that with decent levels on your camera as well.
hey, great review! I'm struggling to add this mic to my MacBook Pro and using it to record audio over zoom, do you know why this would be please?
Hi, Thanks! Are you plugging it directly into the headphone jack? Are you using the correct TRRS cable? Do you see it show up at all?
Hi, I can't find a video that will walk me through how to set this up. I got it in the mail, but I am super visual and would love if you made a video like that!
Hi! It’s pretty much plug and play. Set the audio levels on your camera if you can and then you can make minor adjustments on the units themselves if you need to. I think I showed how to do that in the video. Thanks for watching!
Having a lot of background noise with these. And if I move the slightest bit, the sound gets hazzy and it sounds like I’m banging on the mic and the sound cuts in and out. Any idea why this could be??
I would double check all the connections, make sure everything is tight. Then maybe try and figure out if it’s the unit themselves or the microphone. You can always try using another Lav mic or even any mic that has a headphone type jack. For example headphones that come with an iPhone.
You could also try switching the channels on the units maybe there’s some interference coming from something. Maybe also check the placement of the microphone, is it getting banged up against something? If still nothing works, I would reach out to the company and see what they say about the problem.
Thanks for watching and best of luck!
How do you shut off the built in microphone so you don't get feedback when using the lavalier microphone??
On my 5D Mark IV it turns off automatically when you plug in an external mic.
Hello Sir. I just got it, I connect to Insta360 but I get no audio .Any ideas?
Hi! I’ve never used an Insta 360, Maybe check out the user manual and see what it says about connecting external microphones. Thanks for checking out the video and best of luck with your new gear!
I want to be able to record one Mic to the #3 channel & the other Mic to record to the #4 channel of my Zoom H4n PRO Recorder while the #1 & #2 channels recorde the Ambient sound. Now I need a second Receiver to record both Mics to the Left Channel on my Canon XA-30 & the Shot gun Mic records to the Right Chanel. i.e. can I Receive the output of 2 Pixel UHF Wireless Lavalier Mics on 2 different Pixel UHF Wireless Lavalier Receivers At the same time.
Hey! Sounds like a little bit of a complicated set up. Can’t you just record all of your different audio channels into your zoom recorder, then sync it up with your camera in Resolve?
@@JasonYadlovski The ZOOM H4n is 50' from the camera in most of my situation's. And the Audio is Different than the Camera audio too. Makes Syncing very Difficulty when the Camera is started and Stopped in a 20 minute Flight of a Model airplane sequence, While the Zoom H4n Pro is one continues recording. Wish Canon made a 4K Video Camera with 4 mono tracks of audio like my old Canon XL-1. I could separate the Remote Mics from the Airplane Noise. That's why I need 2 Receivers recording both to Zoom & Camera.
how to use this one on the laptop?
It comes with a 3.5mm headphones style cord that you can plug into the headphone jack of the computer to record directly to the computer. That's assuming the headphone jack on your computer can accept audio in. I'm on a Mac and it works that way.
@@JasonYadlovski ah ok. can this be used to zoom calls also? thanks for the response
If you can hook it up to your computer, it should be able to be used for anything.
Does the iPhone records the voice too?
It can 👍
Both the mic transmitter aand the lav mic lack a wind supressor (Dead Cat).
Lppks bigger than the Rode Wireless GO but comes with lav mic and case ect.
For range put it on your front and go away with your back to the camera PLZ cause that's how I use it most of the time.
Agreed. The dead cats make a big difference. 😁👍
hi jason because of your help i got monitized i am medical student but because of corona i had so much extra time and i thought to learn some skills ...i searched about best free.editing software found.davinci ..downloaded.it and.search for.tutorials and.i got u ....i started from zero and.in 6 months got monitized ....i wanna say that plz make.video on your introduction ....and describe yourself i would love to know about u......
Awesome! Congrats on your channel! Keep at it and it will grow!
@@JasonYadlovski and.what about your intro video😁
I'll add it to my video idea list. It's just an animated video clip, some solid color clips to create the blinking and a little fusion text. 😁
@@JasonYadlovski okk i m waiting
I’m confused
What’s your question, maybe I can help.
@@JasonYadlovski how does the iPhone record or how do u save it from a. Phone
It's so sad when one brand is copied by another.
I hear ya. There are a lot of companies making this same type of design. Not sure who was first to market, but I guess that’s just business. If a brand makes a quality product and focuses on their customers, I think they will win. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
This is like 1 of dumbest statement I've read for the year, Are you saying there should be just 1 of everything 🤔🤔. It's called Options
