And another feature of the shape is the rounded end - easier to slip into a pocket or under a shirt and 100% agree the length has advantages over the square form factor in this category.
Thanks for your review. One important information that is lacking in literally all reviews about Deity Pocket Wireless, including yours, is that the Deity receiver doesn't have a headphone port therefore is not compatible with iPhones for any serious shooting unless you add an audio mixer to the equation as any mixer/adapter will have a headphone port. I had to buy a Beachtek audio adapter (about £200) to be able to use the Deity with my iPhone 13 Pro. Actually, I returned the Deity but bought it again. This because I really wanted to be able to use their plug-on XLR transmitter ( HD-TX) with my iPhone. I used this Deity pocket wireless (receiver/lavaliere/3.5 mm to XLR adapter) to record a piece to camera that I shot with a JVC 850 for a news story. It was all good. P.S. This is an edited comment. I was very angry with Deity in my previous comment. I've deleted the comment. I was angry because Deity sells this kit as being compatible with iPhones despite the fact that the receiver doesn't have a headphone port. But you don't work for Deity so I've decided to post a shorter comment where I just call customers' attention to the incompatibility of this kit with iPhones unless they buy or already have an audio mixer/adapter compatible with iPhones.
I'm confused. You repeatedly call the included mic "a pro-grade lapel mic". But then you go on to say you'd consider it a good value & assume a cost of about "$120-$130". I've never heard of a pro-grade lapel mic that costs $120. That's a consume grade price point. Prosumer at best. Pro-grade lapel mics, like pro-grade wireless audio kits, start at around $400 and go up from there. So which is it? Is it a pro-grade mic or is it a mic that you can't even imagine selling as high as $150?
You can get good gear pretty cheap these days. Yes, there are $400 plus lapel mics, but some of the stuff from Rode and Deity, at a fraction of that, are more than good enough for paid work, and are used professionally quite regularly now.
Can you record with 2 mics to 1 receiver simultaneously? Can you charge both mic & receiver with 2 power banks while in use? Does it get charged when connected to laptop?
thanks for this. This is the first video I have seen where it was said it connects to a receiver in the deity connect system. Does this connect to the deity bp-trx though?
This is a very nice unit! I really like the ability to record straight to my computer. You were right about the "Dead Cat" attachment also, slightly difficult. I also would like the carrying case just a bit larger as it is a bit of a wrestling match to fit everything back in the case.
As a Newbie, how do you transfer the sound file from the receiver to an editing computer? Is there specialized software? Even better, is there a video or course that you recommend that walks a new and up-and-coming video creator in all the details of content creation (on a tight budget)?
I have seen many reviews for buying a wireless mic. Deity generally does better than Rode. Both are very good, but I think Deity's sound is better. Which is not to say Rode is bad. If Deity had the Rode Wireless GO II system, with two transmitters, I would have Deity. But really, the GO II has very good features and I will end up buying it. 2 transmitters that can make a stereo recording using each transmitter being L and R. 2 mics, a lapel and shotgun; or 2 lapels for an interview with 2 people. Among other features. But I really liked Deity. Deity Pocket + Deity V-Mic D3 Pro + Deity S-MIC s2 + HD-TX is an excellent combo!!!
1 question: is it not possible to have the Deity Pocket-RX transmitter + the Deity HD-TX connected to the receiver at the same time? When you connect one, does the other disconnect?
@@markwiemels Thanks for the answer! I'm still not sure which one to buy. The RW GO II really has new features and being able to use 2 transmitters makes me lean towards it, although I like the sound of Deity

Good point.
You didn't show how big is the lapel Mike microphone. I think you didn't want to show it is too big
Thanks for your review.

Fair points, I don’t record into a phone for paid work, I record into the camera and monitor audio with the camera headphone jack.
I'm confused.

The link to the product is broken

Not with the pocket wireless receiver, but you can with the Deity connect pro level receivers, and use the pocket wireless transmitter.
thanks for this. This is the first video I have seen where it was said it connects to a receiver in the deity connect system. Does this connect to the deity bp-trx though?
Yep, works with all deity connect units.
Thanks for sharing Mark. I’m testing mine tonight. Very informative. New subscriber!
Great to hear!
How are they Brother? Done testing?
@@MICKYLEAKSMGR-PRESIDENTCJWORLDawesome. Love them.
Love my Deity so much, I ordered a second set. I'm curious to see if it will handle two transmitters. Great video.
This is my current question
@@livinginmiamianthonyspitalerino, two transmitters won’t connect to a single receiver
@@slyreader thank you for the info
I am defiantly a big fan of Deity! They are doing a lot of good stuff over there.
Yeah, agree.
This is a very nice unit! I really like the ability to record straight to my computer. You were right about the "Dead Cat" attachment also, slightly difficult. I also would like the carrying case just a bit larger as it is a bit of a wrestling match to fit everything back in the case.
could you plug in an Deity V-Mic D3 Pro and it work ?
Yes.
@@markwiemels it works incredibly well.
As a Newbie, how do you transfer the sound file from the receiver to an editing computer? Is there specialized software? Even better, is there a video or course that you recommend that walks a new and up-and-coming video creator in all the details of content creation (on a tight budget)?
Just plug in a usb-c cable, it see the unit has a drive.
Very cool! How do you find the audio quality when transmitting to the pocket reciever, compared to the internal recording on the HDTX
Seem comparable, but I have not done a critical analysis.
How good are the native connections for an iPhone 11 pro max? Cheers
I have not tested this, sorry.
I like your reviews, and this may sound like a silly question, but why are you looking above the camera instead of directly into it?
It's an on camera monitor, I should be looking at the lens instead, I'm slowly getting better at that.
@@markwiemels 👍🏻👍🏻😎👍🏻👍🏻

@@rafael_daguerre hard to go wrong with either really, both great quality products.

Fair enough!
