Actually, Comica might be one of the brands with the most complete accessories for their products, but in low price. Seem everything goes well. Gonna buy one!
will it be compatible with the iPhone lightning adapter? it would be cool to have a full system wireless + usb c + lightning adapter without having to buy a full setup for each thing
I have the original XD and love it. I've used it with their shotgun mic on a boom pole and it's a great setup. I also plugged it into my mixer using an 8th inch to dual xlr cable which also works really well. However shortly after I bought it Saramonic came out with the Blink 500 pro with the included charge case for roughly the same price. Based on sound tests both are really close to the Rode mic and a lot cheaper. The included charge case for the Blink makes it a better buy in my book. That said Rode did come out with that app recently which makes for a very interesting twist. Now if only Blink and Comica would offer an app for theirs.
Awesome! After everybody else jumped on the bandwagon like even DJI and others did, I love to see that Cómica cranked it up again! The option of now being able to have a backup audio file recorded directly to the mic adds so much value to an already great system! I do own the original Boom-XD kit and I am super satisfied with everything. I even got me the additional receiver which attaches via USB-C directly to any USB-C compatible device, namely to Android phones. Since fewer and fewer of these phones spot a 3.5 audio input nowadays it's a great way of still being able to connect a phone as the video device to an external mic such as this wireless and ultra portable mic. They have such a receiver made with a lightning connector for the use on iPhones, too. Btw., Small Rig made an extendable handheld mic pole for the wireless Rode mic which works with Cómica just the same since the cold shoe mount is built-in at the top. After attaching the Boom-XD to the pole you can slap a wind muff from an average microphone over it and one can't even tell that it's not an ordinary mic you're holding. If you have 2 of these it's ideal for e.g. interviews. Thanks for the great review, keep it up!
Hey man, I just listened to your interview on the GH podcast yesterday and really enjoyed it! cool learning a bit about you and I didn't realize you lived here in OR! New subscriber here for sure. Also, thanks for reassuring me that I don't need to return my Comica Boom Xd-1 kit that I bought and have been consequently wondering if I made a mistake, lol.
I have the original version with 2 mics. How do I go about getting separate tracks from the mics? I have the a7iii and edit in DaVinci resolve. Idk if that info helps
Hi Nigel or anyone else who could have an answer to my question, I was wondering if I could only use on of the mics as a Field recorder without the receiver since the Lumix GX85 does not have a mic input to plug in the receiver.
Hey Nigel, youtube has been recommending me your content for the past few weeks and I am really loving it! Your attention to detail and visual aesthetics are really incredible. And I really like how you are always thinking about the budget and indy filmmaker, but at the same time, we see you growing and becoming better. I would perhaps try to work on the pacing of the video so that it is more dynamic. Btw, you have a great podcast voice haha. Cheers!
Looks like a very possible alternative to the Rode WG II. The internal recording sounded great most of the time, the wireless was too hissy. Was it the self noise of the receiver or your camera? What I like about the Rode Wireless Go is that you can connect it to your smartphone via USB and then you can bypass the audio circuitry of the phone and record high quality digital audio direct into the phone, no hiss whatsoever. And it also allows you to record stereo into the smartphone which a TRRS jack will not make possible. Can this Comica work as a USB mic?
Ahhh. Just what I needed. New studio is raring to go and all I need are lights and audio. Your recommendation on the Falconeyes and this mic setup is gonna hit the mark. Thanks! *Del Mar Skate Ranch vet here. ;) Heh.
Curious if they're going to sell in South Africa... I've been looking to try a transmitter that records a safety channel as well for backup audio during a reception and these look like they'd do a good job. What's the battery life like on a transmitter when used as a recorder?
Could you try connecting a Shotgun Mic to the transmitter ? That's a use case I'm really interested and have seen people doing it with the Rode Wireless Go ii. Thanks! Great video by the way!!!
Hi Nigel!, thank you for the complete review on this one. I wanted to buy this mic, i'm convinced. Since you were the one convincing me, would you mind putting the amazon or other monetized link in the description so i can buy it while you still earn your contribution? Thank you! :) i will hold my buy for 2 days eheh
How do the wind screens hook onto the microphones? I have seen in several reviews that the twist system that the Rode Wireless has are the most comfortable to put on and take off, and that the rest of the brands are usually by pressure and sometimes it is difficult to put them on.
we designed a Silicone ring on the windscreens. they are easy to install but hard to fall off. For more info you can DM us on social media!! Thank you so much for your interest ;)
@@pathway1 -6 db... Aww hell naw... That's not nearly worth while. It should be an option for -6, -12 and -18db. Then you could do scenes with actors yelling.
Hey Nigel, I'm loving your content and aesthetic, been following your channel for quite a while and it's great to see your growth over the years dude 😉. I'm on the market for a system and I'm torn between the Rode Wireless Mic II, Saramonic Blink 500 Pro and this, and I am leaning heavily towards the Comica. One detail I couldn't find anywhere much is how the digital audio interface work? Can you connect the Comica Receiver to a computer with the included USB port and use the unit as a USB microphone for video conferencing and such? I have this wild idea to connect this system to my PS5 for couch co-op streaming with my wife, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work? 🤷♂️
They should bring out their own reporter accessories like Rode does with that nifty Reporter Go handle for the mic. I got the Rode one, but the Comica's are just a bit bigger. It works, but Comica should bring out their own.
for vlogging yes, but then again, i hate how you sound the same no matter how close or far you are from the camera. there are few shots when you walk towards camera , and the audio level remains the same , so unrealistic, sucks, anyway good day
so um, wait what the battery life??
Actually, Comica might be one of the brands with the most complete accessories for their products, but in low price. Seem everything goes well. Gonna buy one!
Really thanks for your nice video. Learn more about what I want to know!
Where can i buy it. Un that liink i cant find where to buy it
exactly

Whoa. Might have to give these a try. First time seeing your skills on the skateboard. A man of many talents👏🏻✨
Thanks Nigel! Much appreciated.
Comica really owes you. You got me to buy the first one and now you got me ready to buy these too
Is the xd pro the same as the xd2? Struggling to find any options that say "pro" here in Australia.

What! I'm just check if I can buy this in my country. This sounds good to me, and it is cheaper. Thank you for let me know this product.
Great video, as always Nigel.
Just wanna ask what hoodie are you wearing that's look great. By the way nice review man. Im still thinking what wireless microphone should i buy.
Another banger of a video.
Sound is good other than the excessive self noise. I’ve tried them all and the rode is the only usable system, especially when connected to a phone.
This microphone looks good. thanks for sharing!
This is crazy...I just got the boomx-d2 the other day 😅 I didn't know they had a pro.
“It wouldn’t be a proper Nigel Barros review unless I filmed while I was at a skate park” haha true true
“If this is your local park I feel sorry for you.” Lol
Amazing locations! I really wish I had the time to create some of my videos like that 👍💪
Looks sweet but they need to follow Godox with the all-in-one charging case... rather than all those wires.

if the price is not a problem, which is better... Rode wireless go2 or Comica?
Thanks for your sharing. It's a perfect review video, which just solves my needs for microphones.
A year later do you still recommend this product?
please compare audio quality vs the rode go ii. that would be nice.

You said the Comica lav mic isn't as good as the Rode. Are the compatible to just swap those out and if so how does it sound (any better)?
Ahhh. Just what I needed. New studio is raring to go and all I need are lights and audio. Your recommendation on the Falconeyes and this mic setup is gonna hit the mark. Thanks! *Del Mar Skate Ranch vet here. ;) Heh.
Best review! Thank you for sharing! BoomX-D is really a great product! Love the pro version!

Lets be honest…. this video isn’t about the mics, but you showing off them skate moves. Lol 😏
How would this compare to the Boom X-U ? I just got that a couple months back.
how long does it last
Could you try connecting a Shotgun Mic to the transmitter ? That's a use case I'm really interested and have seen people doing it with the Rode Wireless Go ii.
Thanks! Great video by the way!!!

You said your receiver died.. you mean the battery died or it stopped working?
I had problems with Synco, maybe this brand offers better signal stability?
I think I heard somewhere that they have the same parent company, actually (Zhiyun-Tech).
plz do a review on the SYNCO G2 A2 A1

It’s very tight market to be in for the price of $270. I think with many competitions in this market, it should be price at $200.
sweet!!
Sir, what is the safety track db difference? I'm hoping for the safety track to be about 18db difference.
On the website, it said -6db
@@pathway1 -6 db... Aww hell naw... That's not nearly worth while. It should be an option for -6, -12 and -18db. Then you could do scenes with actors yelling.
Nice review... although I'd suggest checking out the Synco wireless mic system (similar style, etc) for a quality more budget friendly option .😋
He has done a few synco reviews before.
Thanks, must have missed em
@@Novoworks I actually watched one of them the other day and bought the a2 version. Should receive it tomorrow!
they didn't pay you. do you get to keep the Comica for yourself after the review?
Hey! nice video, thanks for sharing, great mic!!👍
This wouldn't be copying Rode?
Can you have 2 people talking at once, each with a lapel, going into the camera? 2 person interview style.
What camera did you use to film this video?
Olympus EM-1 Mkii 👍🏽

Nice Vid.. Yet don't think there's nothing Budget about a 190.00 mic. - MOVO mic at 49.99 is budget :) but nice vid anyways..
i dont believe this is a budget set up at $200 . great review though
270$ is a budget mic?
too expensive, anyone know a cheaper one thats decent?
for vlogging yes, but then again, i hate how you sound the same no matter how close or far you are from the camera. there are few shots when you walk towards camera , and the audio level remains the same , so unrealistic, sucks, anyway good day
