  • We get lots of questions about the equipment we use to make the videos on the channel so I thought that the next time we added something significant that I would probably talk about it. Let's check out the Boya BY-WM8 Pro-K2 wireless lav kit

    Hey. first time vloger here, there will be 2.of us. Wondering if this product is the way to go or a cheaper alternative getting 2 wired boya lavaliers, recording sound on 2 diff phones and imposing on the video. Will be using smartphones. Just happen to have extra old smartphones lying around. Wondering if the system in ur video is worth the money. Like 40 bucks for 2 wired lavaliers vs 200+ for this?

    Thanks for the review. I have the pro K2 system. How long do your batteries last in the receiver? I'm running the receiver into a zoom recorder and the batteries drain in about 10-20 mins?? Is that standard or a defect? Standby time (not recording) seems to be around 2 hours give or take.

    @georgeelliottphotography3602 3 роки тому

    Hay Nick, nice video. I found your video very good and helpful. I have an issue and wonder if I've missed something. I purchased my set recently and have set it up as stereo. Here is my dilemma. Setting it up as stereo, I wanted to be able to monitor both of the inputs seperately from two different talents. Therefore, if they speak at the same time, I can seperate them in post. Here is my problem; after setting up my system, I plug my headphones into the receiver and sure enough each transmitter I hear from the left or right channel. However, as soon as I plug in the XLR output cable into the receivers line out, I now hear one channel going through the left and right. Also, when I plug in the 3.5mm mini plug cable instead (with my headphones still plugged into the receiver), I can hear the left and right seperately. But, when I then plug the other end of the mini plug into a mixer, camera or device, either laveller mikes now go through the left and right channels. i.e. mono. Am I doing something wrong? I really need the channels going through the left and right seperately. Hope you can help.
    Regards
    George

    • @potestoniko
      @potestoniko 2 роки тому

      you have to take in to consideration that an XLR cable is always monophonic, so in a case like this its better if you use the TRS jack if you want to record in an stereo fashion
      the distance is way to short either way to really need the benefits of a balanced XLR cable. but if you want something like that, you can create a TRS jack to Double XLR cable, its not very difficult.

    GEAR SEEKERS, What about the battery life how long have you gone with it before you have to swap
    out the AA batteries? This is EXTREMELY important too me. What about parts breaking on the unit
    that I heard a few people complain about, what's been your experience? What's your final word on the
    durability of this system? At the conclusion you said you weren't using the Boya system right now!
    What the??? Also I think if you are reviewing a dual wireless system it would've been more convincing
    if you were outdoors with the transmitters attached to two individuals and the receiver picking up how
    everything sounds in real life situations.
