Thank your for the video! In my opinion Comica Boomx-D Pro has the far better price-performance ratio than Rode Wireless Go! Comica: valuable case, good lav mics ( as good as the Rode Go mics for additional $50 each), handy charching cable Rode: sleazy bag Comica: all devices with displays Rode: only receiver with display Comica: all settings directly @ transmitter/receiver Rode: must connect receiver to computer and use separate computer app for many settings Comica: separate gain line-up for each track Rode: - Comica: usable as "usb flash device" (-->easy transfer of internal recordings to computer) Rode: must use exporting function of computer app Comica: file format of internal recordings: .wav Rode: file format of internal recordings: weird file format, must be converted Apart from that: Rode has a slightly better range, a slightly better battery life. And sound qualitiy in my opinion is more a matter of taste, than a matter of quality, the differences are minor.

Hi, I have a macbook air with only thunderbolt and 3.5mm slot. Is there any reason why I can't choose the device (Comica) in sound "input" ? It doesn't seem to work on my computer in zoom. Can anyone help please ? Thanks!
Thank you very much for sharing and feedback. Since what we sent to you is a beta version, the battery life may not be upgraded, but now our official product has a battery life of 4.5 hours for TX and 6 hours for RX.
Hey hey Comica! You're most welcome! Definitely a great update from the original BoomX-D. Glad to hear battery life is being worked on. Is the 4.5hr with or without internal recording? My hope is that in the future both units can sustain 6-7 hours per battery charge!

DJI Mic is coming out in a month and I feel like it will rival the Rode GO II. Rode also just came out Rode Lav II as well! I would love to see the comparison!!
Hey hey again Tan G! I emailed DJI and asked them if I could get a review unit, I haven't heard back from them yet.

This will cover the biggest issue I saw with the old unit without the internal recording, signal dropout was quick and it couldn't pass the signal through bodies at any distance.
The backup recording has come in handy on my Go 2 several times. And on mobile shoots I often just use the units by themselves since the update that enabled using them without the receiver. For more piece of mind like interviews etc I'll still use the full set.

If I am not mistaken, you lose bass off the orange cable because it is a special cable to change the impedance to match the impedance of different input preamps.
Great video by the way. Very through and informative! I just bought these but have not had the time to really use them yet so don't have much of my own opinion yet. I wanted to let you know that they have removed that cable from the kit nowl lol. It must have been causing them grief. I don't think you were alone in your experience. @@TLDR_filmmaker
You should do a test with also the DJI Mic, and the cheap SYNCO WAir G2 (A2). All 4 sets against each other. I think It would make an interesting test.
Hey hey Gabor! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I have emailed DJI today to request a review unit, we'll see if I get an answer so I can make a review for you all!

As for the Synco G2, my friend @nates film tutorials reviewed them and they do sound quite good for the price, it's missing the internal recording of course but hopefully Synco will do an update soon to the G2 line to include it with a nice price tag too boot. Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker you are welcome. I really like your reviews, and have been subscribed for a while not. As for the synco G2. I have just picked one up in sale for 150 euros, which is really a bargain imo. For that price, I do not mind the lack of internal recording. The range for my videos and talks, is fine too. Never had the camera more than 5-6m from the people, so not a deal for me. I was just curious how the sound quality stacks up with the big bois. I have recently made a video with it and I was impressed by it using the lav mic. Not bad for 150 euros ( normal price is 210 here)

Hi! as always great review! Thak you very much! Have you tried the included Comica lavaliers with the Rode Wireless Go II? Those should be shielded against 2,4ghz interference so they shouldn't get interference isn't?? have you tried that? Thank you!
Hey hey Matías! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! I have not personally tried is mainly because the Comica has a plastic locking latch on the headphones that I would have to break off to allow it to work on the RODE Wireless GO II. That being said it doesn't make too much sense to use a comica kit lav with the rode wireless go, assuming you have both sets. I've done a lavalier mic shoot out for each system and the Sony Lav is easily the best for each system at a nice budget price. ua-cam.com/video/jO49-HcwmQg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/o3V31zUNPUs/v-deo.html Thanks again for stopping by!

Hey hey Selena! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Like I say in the video, essentially, the RODE has more battery life as well as much more features and future features due to its ability to have firmware updates. The Comica has a lot of the essentials you need like Mono, Stereo, and Safety tracks. Easier download of internal recordings. What you don't really get with the comica is more battery life and future upgrades to the firmware. Sound quality is more refined in the RODE to my ears, but the comica does perform well for beginners that just want something that sounds decent to start. Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Hey hey again Rafael! Comica doesn't sell one, but this one company I magically found makes one! geni.us/Nk0qotn (affiliate link) It's a bit long, but if you're just using it at home for your charging station, you're golden!
@@TLDR_filmmaker I think I might have to wait til you crown the dji the true winner then 1.5 years later rode go iii comes out and takes all our money again
If you are on a budget, the Comica is still a nice option. My current recommendation is the RODE Wireless Pro: ua-cam.com/video/aVS2X5P6hW8/v-deo.html It is more expensive, but all the accessories, especially the lav mics are very high quality. I have used it on a couple small corporate shoots and it performed very well as intended.
Watching the review on the train to Paris, the Rode sounds better with my headset, maybe influenced by the fact that I own the Rode 😂 great video as always 👍

can I film or record video with rode wireless go ll from the front camera of Samsung s21 ultra without any issues. and record from 2 transmitters to get stereo sound?
Hey hey again إيهاب شوقي ! As long as you buy the android cable for the RODE GO II, it will work as an external mic when you are in the video app on your samsung. My guess is that you won't get stereo sound as most of the mic protocols in phones and tablets are dual mono.
Hello Sir, Thanks for the helpful info. Do you know whether you could charge the receiver (and the transmitters) while it is in use. It would be helpful for longer use for not to loose power. Do you mind give it a try in your system and let us know if that works? Does anyone else here could give info on that aspect? Thank you in advance.
Hey hey again Ed! If your Fuji XT3 is not able to handle the regular black cord while the output is at its lowest setting, then what you're looking for is a 3.5mm attenuator cable. However most of the 3.5mm attenuator cables are "line to mic" cables that lower the output way too much. So in this case you may need to look into a passive preamp for your camera. Something like this: geni.us/aASbL (affiliate link) Hope this helps!
Hopefully when I decide to buy a wireless system I can find one with user replaceable batteries. I am trying to not buy any gear with built in batteries. It doesn't make sense to me for the life of your gear to be determined by its battery. Cheers, really good show!
Hey hey again The TexPat in Saigon! I agree, it would be nice to have replaceable batteries in these systems. I had said once I wish they would built these cheaper systems around the AAA battery. A battery thats decently small, easy to get at a store, can buy rechargeable. I don't know why this is not a design choice yet, but I can see it become the future once a company goes for it. Chips are getting smaller and more efficient, so a AAA should be able to handle the load.
@@TLDR_filmmaker Yes, I think so too. If they want to produce products that serious amateurs and pros will use, the replaceable batteries are a must have. Keep up the good work!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Brother, Really Detailed Video. God Bless Your Soul!Thanks a Million this video does Clear a lot of my doubts if on field work or in line of duty what to expect.

Hey hey Женя И ! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! You will raise the internal recording volume in Post.

Hey hey Starshine! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Unless a company reaches out to send me a test unit, I don't have the means of reviewing all available options out on the market. I have reviewed synco mics before in the past, but haven't tried their wireless sets. From what I have heard from my friends who have reviewed them, they do a decent job in sound.

In my opinion Comica Boomx-D Pro has the far better price-performance ratio than Rode Wireless Go!
Comica: valuable case, good lav mics ( as good as the Rode Go mics for additional $50 each), handy charching cable
Rode: sleazy bag
Comica: all devices with displays
Rode: only receiver with display
Comica: all settings directly @ transmitter/receiver
Rode: must connect receiver to computer and use separate computer app for many settings
Comica: separate gain line-up for each track
Rode: -
Comica: usable as "usb flash device" (-->easy transfer of internal recordings to computer)
Rode: must use exporting function of computer app
Comica: file format of internal recordings: .wav
Rode: file format of internal recordings: weird file format, must be converted
Apart from that: Rode has a slightly better range, a slightly better battery life. And sound qualitiy in my opinion is more a matter of taste, than a matter of quality, the differences are minor.

Great video by the way. Very through and informative! I just bought these but have not had the time to really use them yet so don't have much of my own opinion yet. I wanted to let you know that they have removed that cable from the kit nowl lol. It must have been causing them grief. I don't think you were alone in your experience. @@TLDR_filmmaker
You should do a test with also the DJI Mic, and the cheap SYNCO WAir G2 (A2). All 4 sets against each other. I think It would make an interesting test.
Hey hey Gabor!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
I have emailed DJI today to request a review unit, we'll see if I get an answer so I can make a review for you all! I'm sure they don't know my channel exists, maybe you guys can hit them up on social media's and let them know you want to see me review and compare it? Whatever helps so I can test it for you guys! As for the Synco G2, my friend @nates film tutorials reviewed them and they do sound quite good for the price, it's missing the internal recording of course but hopefully Synco will do an update soon to the G2 line to include it with a nice price tag too boot.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker you are welcome. I really like your reviews, and have been subscribed for a while not.
As for the synco G2. I have just picked one up in sale for 150 euros, which is really a bargain imo. For that price, I do not mind the lack of internal recording. The range for my videos and talks, is fine too. Never had the camera more than 5-6m from the people, so not a deal for me. I was just curious how the sound quality stacks up with the big bois. I have recently made a video with it and I was impressed by it using the lav mic. Not bad for 150 euros ( normal price is 210 here)
You are an AWESOME TEACHER.
Thank you! 😃
hello pls help my Comic Boom XD pro internal recording is no longer recording after i formatted the files in it. what do i do

Hi! as always great review! Thak you very much! Have you tried the included Comica lavaliers with the Rode Wireless Go II? Those should be shielded against 2,4ghz interference so they shouldn't get interference isn't?? have you tried that? Thank you!
Hey hey Matías!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
I have not personally tried is mainly because the Comica has a plastic locking latch on the headphones that I would have to break off to allow it to work on the RODE Wireless GO II. That being said it doesn't make too much sense to use a comica kit lav with the rode wireless go, assuming you have both sets. I've done a lavalier mic shoot out for each system and the Sony Lav is easily the best for each system at a nice budget price.

i dont have the cable for Fuji
Thank you for sharing, let me know the difference between the two.
Hey hey Selena!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
Like I say in the video, essentially, the RODE has more battery life as well as much more features and future features due to its ability to have firmware updates. The Comica has a lot of the essentials you need like Mono, Stereo, and Safety tracks. Easier download of internal recordings. What you don't really get with the comica is more battery life and future upgrades to the firmware. Sound quality is more refined in the RODE to my ears, but the comica does perform well for beginners that just want something that sounds decent to start. Hope this helps!
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Comica should just sell that 3 headed USB C cable id buy it in a heartbeat
Hey hey again Rafael!
Comica doesn't sell one, but this one company I magically found makes one! geni.us/Nk0qotn (affiliate link)
It's a bit long, but if you're just using it at home for your charging station, you're golden!
@@TLDR_filmmaker I think I might have to wait til you crown the dji the true winner then 1.5 years later rode go iii comes out and takes all our money again
when i record internally the audio is so low, how to increase it?
Do you still recommend this mic in 2024? if not, any alternatives? Thanks.
If you are on a budget, the Comica is still a nice option. My current recommendation is the RODE Wireless Pro: ua-cam.com/video/aVS2X5P6hW8/v-deo.html
It is more expensive, but all the accessories, especially the lav mics are very high quality. I have used it on a couple small corporate shoots and it performed very well as intended.
Hi what do I do if I don't use that cable you said not to use for Sony? Where do I get the alternative?
The package should have came with a regular TRS to TRS cable (not the smartphone one) that you would use instead.
Watching the review on the train to Paris, the Rode sounds better with my headset, maybe influenced by the fact that I own the Rode 😂 great video as always 👍
Hey hey again Daniel!
Haha the RODE does sound overall better, they have some really decent capsules in there. Have a safe ride!
Great review
Glad you found it helpful!
Will you be testing the DJI Mic? Actually waiting to buy until I get your take on it. 😀😀

can I film or record video with rode wireless go ll from the front camera of Samsung s21 ultra without any issues. and record from 2 transmitters to get stereo sound?
Hey hey again إيهاب شوقي !
As long as you buy the android cable for the RODE GO II, it will work as an external mic when you are in the video app on your samsung. My guess is that you won't get stereo sound as most of the mic protocols in phones and tablets are dual mono.
Hello Sir, Thanks for the helpful info. Do you know whether you could charge the receiver (and the transmitters) while it is in use. It would be helpful for longer use for not to loose power. Do you mind give it a try in your system and let us know if that works? Does anyone else here could give info on that aspect? Thank you in advance.
Hey hey dilhanf!
Yes you can use these plugged into USB power so that they can be used indefinitely.
Hi, may I know which cable should I get to replace the orange cable? Or what should I look out for? I'm using fuji xt3.
Hey hey again Ed!
If your Fuji XT3 is not able to handle the regular black cord while the output is at its lowest setting, then what you're looking for is a 3.5mm attenuator cable. However most of the 3.5mm attenuator cables are "line to mic" cables that lower the output way too much. So in this case you may need to look into a passive preamp for your camera. Something like this: geni.us/aASbL (affiliate link)
Hope this helps!
Hopefully when I decide to buy a wireless system I can find one with user replaceable batteries. I am trying to not buy any gear with built in batteries. It doesn't make sense to me for the life of your gear to be determined by its battery. Cheers, really good show!
Hey hey again The TexPat in Saigon!
I agree, it would be nice to have replaceable batteries in these systems. I had said once I wish they would built these cheaper systems around the AAA battery. A battery thats decently small, easy to get at a store, can buy rechargeable. I don't know why this is not a design choice yet, but I can see it become the future once a company goes for it. Chips are getting smaller and more efficient, so a AAA should be able to handle the load.
@@TLDR_filmmaker Yes, I think so too. If they want to produce products that serious amateurs and pros will use, the replaceable batteries are a must have. Keep up the good work!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Brother, Really Detailed Video. God Bless Your Soul!Thanks a Million this video does Clear a lot of my doubts if on field work or in line of duty what to expect. So the Mics can't Block Siren or Airplane Sounds?
My other Question/Doubt is Can These Mics (and probably receiver as well) be Charged during usage recording longer durations by a couple of or 3 separate battery banks on each person basically to each component in the Kit for extending the battery backup or runtime? Have You Tried this as a solution by any chance and/or have experienced any audio disturbances clicks of the pulsed charging?
Have you Reviewed Compared these mics to the Saramonic 900 Pro and DJI pocket 2 wireless mics kits what's there in the Box or what's missing Their cables connectors quality etc? Which of These Types of Wireless Mics Have Facility of Dual Record Onboard either built-in memory or micro SD Card will Be Even Better Options wherein at All Times You Have for SafeKeep or Record Keep, One Audio Track the Noise Cancelled Version and One Audio Track WITH the Ambient/LIVE Environment Noise Version for Say Safety Reasons in Case an Accident is Caused, an Attack By Criminals and Perps or Even Shots Fired on etc?
YEP! Legal Judicial Public Press Record Purposes let's Just Say on VERY HIGH PROFILE CASES, So I Need To Know WHICH Mics are the Best Save Multiple Audios on each Device Individually, So There's SOLID Proof Admissible in Court or General Consensus, Should Things Go Sideways During an Investigation or Court Hearing or During My Extremely Long Delayed Public Disclosure! I Really Pray to God and Hope You See This Comment and Clear My Doubts, Because it's Really Difficult to Judge what the real World performance will be of these costly devices, so Trust Me, It WILL Really Help with knowledgeable inputs based on your experience and quite proper testing methodology, so we don't end up Wasting Spending Too Much Money, Just Because Some are Pushing Sponsored or Commissioned Products!
I Trust You to Keep it Honest and Real With Me as I've Always Done with EVERYONE!

Hello! How i can change level of internal recording? Can i make it louder?
Hey hey Женя И !
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
You will raise the internal recording volume in Post. You cannot raise it in the device itself as it is settings its own levels automatically to ensure you don't clip and stay in range.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Why not try synco p2l? That one works great for mobiles i just discovered it
Hey hey Starshine!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
Unless a company reaches out to send me a test unit, I don't have the means of reviewing all available options out on the market. I have reviewed synco mics before in the past, but haven't tried their wireless sets. From what I have heard from my friends who have reviewed them, they do a decent job in sound. At this moment I don't believe Snyco has a mic that has internal transmitter recording, this is going to be an important feature moving on in the industry.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Another great in depth review! Completely agree with your take here and I think it's really important for folks just starting out to watch every penny.
Hey hey again Gerald!
Thanks! And absolutely, every penny counts when you're a beginner!
Hi, I have a macbook air with only thunderbolt and 3.5mm slot. Is there any reason why I can't choose the device (Comica boomXD) in sound "input" ? It doesn't seem to work on my computer in zoom. Can anyone help please ? Thanks!
Hey hey Smiley!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
You need to make sure you are using the cellphone cable that came with the pack (The one with the three color rings on the jack) Plug the three color rings jack into the macbook. The name "comica Boom XD" won't show up, instead you should see an option like "External mic" pop up.

The Adventures of Eddy Wilson was my favorite part.
Fwiw, I didn’t actually watch the entire thing but it was running on my iPhone and I caught the end 😂 bonus for the algorithm:)
Hey hey again Benj!
Haha! I do sincerely appreciate that bonus for sure. So funny you still caught the ending message!
Answers can't "comes" first, can they ?
Hey hey SG Media!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
Haha no they can't. You're probably the 5th person in 4 years that has actually caught that. The "comes" rolls off my tongue way easier than to just say "come" so i've left it in as a fun easter egg to see how many people catch it!

You should do a Squid Games of Lav mics LOL
Each "game" is a category test. Last lav standing gets the audience piggy bank.
Hey hey again S Singh!
Haha, I haven't watched Squid Games just yet, but familiar enough with the premise.
those big bulky thinks really make me like the pico that much more
Hey hey again ALi!
Oh for sure, the Picomic is so ahead of their game. Once that internal recording is locked in. Game over for many.
I think the Comica sounds better

Does the Comica and Rode transmitter have input level control? Or can it be changed only on the receiver?
Hey hey User!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
Only the receiver has output control. The Transmitters use an algorithm to keep your voice from clipping.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Thank you! I have looked at many reviews. As far as I understand, only DJI mic has such an opportunity?
I'm not sure if the DJI mic has that feature. Very few budget wireless lav systems have the ability for the transmitter to adjust its levels.
Wow the thing with the noob people trying to dip their toes into this industry. I couldnt agree more. You got a sub ✌️
Always gotta look at it from multiple perspectives! Thanks for the sub!
