How do you like the sound from this new Hohem MIC-01? #hohem #hohemmic01 #wirelessmic #microphone - Навчання та стиль
What a fantastic review. Great detail and answered all the questions I had. Thanks
You are very welcome
Thanks Zdenka, have been waiting for a review of this as I wasn't sure it would add any advantage over my existing set up. Can see it will so now ordered one!
You are very welcome.. enjoy
Hey there, first of all thank you for the amazing content. I (like the other friend in the comments) got the iSteady M6 gimbal based on your reviews and I'm VERY happy that I did. the microphone sounds extremely good (specially considering the price point) and the fact that it's been designed for smart phones and it fits on a gimbal makes it a wonderful option for people who are in the market for sth like this. Keep up the fantastic work! looking forward to learn more from you!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts… I am glad you like the gimbal…
Gal Ultra 21, control of shutter and video works. Also using Samsung Buds there is audio play back with/without video.
Thank you kindly: super well done
You are very welcome
Noch ein Klasse Produkt der Firma Hohem. Danke an Zdenka für dieses Video.🍀
You are very welcome. I am glad you like this one
Excellent video review!
Glad you liked it!
This review is very helpful . I like the nose cancelatio feature, the audio quality is great.Thank you 👍
You are very welcome. I’m glad you liked the review.
I just got the gimbal based on one of your videos. I'm definitely going to add it to my gimbal setup. Mic sounds great btw.
Thank you so much for sharing. I also think it sounds good. I like the remote, the most. 🤣 so much better not to have to touch the phone or gimbal
Amazing review really good. bought one but with the case.
Thank you so much for your support. Enjoy.
This video has really helped me to understand how this works
Thank you so so much. I’m glad it worked for you.
Zdenka, great review (as ALWAYS). Seems impressive. Cheers, Chuck (North East Florida) 🤠
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and many greetings back to you
Fantastic... useful
Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much, the microphone is very nice and professional, I will definitely buy it.
You are very welcome
This is a fantastic alternative to the Rode. I am very interested in this. I love the magnetic attachment! This set up is super affordable for someone like me who is a solo user. Thank you for this in depth introduction to the Hohem MIC-01.
You are very welcome. I’m glad the video helped you out.
Very useful 👍
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
It works great.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Wow, the sound is good and at £109 in the UK the price seems amazing.
Especially considering the Rode set up is £370 for the same.
I'm sure the Rode may be better quality sound but what I heard on the video was very good also and the noise cancelation was excellent.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Yes the price is very reasonable
Very nice mic I love it ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Thank you very much for presenting the microphone.
Four months ago I watched your advertisement.
I was very interested then. Ambient noise is very disturbing and unavoidable when shooting videos and sports training.
Visitors to my channel have repeatedly asked to improve the sound quality.
Before I buy, I thank you again Zdenka!
You are very welcome and best wishes
Like the video.😊
The operation of this kit is quite complicated. It takes a lot of memory to recall everything on site on top of the camera things you need to recall.
Yes there is a learning curve
Another very helpful review. I especially like that the receiver fits in the free well case as this has always been an issue with previous mics. Were you able to balance your isteady M6 using this mic plugged into an iPhone 15 pro max in the freewell case configured with their anamorphic lens and threaded nd filter?
I don’t have 15 pro max only 15 pro but I had no issues balancing the gimbal
Saw a comment of yours somewhere else. Led me here. Good content!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for your support
WoW❤
Thank you very much for your support
Congratulations for your videos, super professional and perfectly reviewed!!!! May I ask you if they would make sense to you as single recorders for two potential spouses? I used a friend's DJI mic and I must say that the performance was excellent but the expense was high.
Thank you for your support. Yes DJI mic is much higher level but just like you said expensive…. This is budget microphone
Nice video
Thank you so much for your support
Please do comparison with the latest rod wireless go
Thank you for your request. Unfortunately I don’t have access to it
Great video as usual. Zdenka, I've been following your UA-cam channel for many years and have even subscribed to your Smartphone Filmmaking Course which is great as well. I have a question for you. in your "7 DJI OM4 Tips" UA-cam video you made 3 years ago you were describing the hyperlapse process and there was a music soundtrack playing in the background at around the 7:21 mark of the video which I really liked. You said in the video that you use Epidemic Sound for your sound tracks. I have a subscription to Epidemic sound as well. I tried to use Shazam to find out the name of that track but it didn't work. By any chance would you be able to tell me what Epidemic soundtrack that was? Thank you!
I wish honestly I knew what it was. Unfortunately I don’t save or bookmark the music…. I wonder if there is any way to search up for it but right now I don’t know… I am sorry…. Thank you for your support and I am very happy that the videos and course is working
Match to my needs. But how can I set date and time of the internal recording files?
You really can’t on this one
thank you so much
Wow, I just bought the Fulaim X5, but this is smaller to carry on
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Nice and informative video. I would like to ask I bought one as well but there is a small issue one of the mic doesn’t charge I don’t know why. Even I charge the mic only using cable usb c.
If you’re having a trouble with the microphone immediately contact the seller for replacement or Hohem directly
Excellent review, thank you for showcasing the product.
In my opinion the audio quality is kinda bad, but the product has some really cool features!
I wouldnt mind paying like 50-70 usd more just to have noticeable better sound quality with those features, but until then the bad audio recording is a deal beaker for me.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
You are awesome I have the black version with the USB-C and yet my iPhone is not recognizing it do I need to download an app? I looked in the App Store. They have every app except the one01 Mic
Thank you for your support. That is strange that it is not working for you. You should be able to plugin and go. There is no app needed. I would restart the phone, try updating the latest firmware…. Hopefully that will work
I just purchased the gimbal and microphone set for my IPhone 15 pro max
Thank you very much for sharing. Enjoy your new microphone.
I thinks it’s a pretty cool mic for its intended purpose which is primarily cell phone videos. I’m wondering can you pass data through the usb to record to an ssd or flash drive?
Unfortunately, you cannot pass data through the microphone
The Synco P2L charges the 2 transmitters and the receiver as soon as you put them in their box so are all 3 always ready to use. They also work at a distance of 250 metres.
Yes but the difference is that they are bulky, you have to use wired lavaliere with it… so it is a very different product
Thank you, Zdenka
@@ZdenkaDarula why do you need to use wired lavalier mics with it?
They should have mentioned that in their Facebook video.
@@ZdenkaDarula they’re not bulky!
Can you use the extra USB port in the receiver plugged into the phone for an extra SSD to record log files?
Good question I will have to test that. I think it should work but I haven’t tested it yet
Can you please compare Rode Wireless and this one, when you do review the details of this microphone? Interesting things come from Hohem sometimes. Reverb has echo because Reverb definition says that, It's an ambient acoustic effect that we're constantly surrounded by, which occurs when the sound waves emitted from a sound source bounce off the surfaces within a space at varying times and amplitudes; creating a series of audible reflections. Normal mode sounds good, reverb not.
I get what your saying but even tho this sounds pretty solid you can’t compare the 2 it’s like comparing a Lamborghini to an Honda not only that UA-cam compresses everything so there that the rode and dji are the top 2 in the field the real question is your budget you just have to try them and see what works for you I done ran thru 15 camera bags and hated how they look and the plain grey interior or orange you get no matter what company til Peter McKinnon bag came out pricey but worth it fits all the gear doesn’t look like your day 2 day camera bag etc. and the pgytech one mo 2 looks good as well so morale to my. Story cheap is not always good but have it’s place for learning curves then you can move on to something better
Yes I agree with @WargodFilms…. You cannot compare these 2. This is bidet mic DJI mic is expensive. I certainly don’t have a budget to even buy it for my channel to review it in the first place….
@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks. I like it because can attach the receiver to the C port and use it with a gimbal or without one. Actually watched the other 2 reviews on UA-cam and ordered the "1TX plus 1RX Android" only, not the whole set from the Aliexpress smallrig store or can buy from the store website. Even though there is a store coupon for 7$ from a Smallrig, many people will not find that coupon. I have the Rode wireless me and some cheaper ones bought for 20+ dollars and not use that one.
For iPhone 15 Pro Max users, does the USB-C model include the Apple MFI chip for full Apple iOS support?
Yes, that’s what I was mentioning in the video
Excellent review. I'm waiting for delivery of this microphone🥹
Thank you very much for your support. Enjoy your new microphone.
So I have to have that bright orange device on my subject and self when reecording? `
You don’t have to… you can turn it around and use magnet, hide it below your T-shirt or attached wired mic if you don’t want anything showing
Definitely a really good mic for the price. I just need a little better sound quality
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this
Cool, but I'm not sure about the sound. The noise cancelation is amazing! I would love to see a comparison with other popular mics like rode
Thank you so much for your feedback and sharing your thoughts
Hi there, thanks for this video. At 7:41 there seems to be some background hiss / white noise. Is this usual for this mic system?
Yes I heard it little bit too.. thank you for confirming
All small mics will have some noise.
You can move it up, closer to the mouth, to get higher signal.
You can turn on the mic's noise reduction.
You can quieten the environment.
You can apply better noise reduction in post-production, better tailored to the recorded signal.
The mic's own noise reduction is only 'better' at 5:21, if you concentrate on the noise and ignore the loss of quiet signal and distortion. Also the noise is still noticeable 'pumping up' during spoken words: it can only really be removed from the silence between words. Unnatural.
DSP can't do the impossible.
This is not a bad attempt, though.
Please review the insta360 ace pro❤
Coming up… soon 👍
@@ZdenkaDarula 🥰🥰🥰
I am interested in using it for surrounding sounds. Can it be used that way.
I am not sure to be honest… I haven’t really tested it that way
Did anyone test it if usbc version would work with gopro?
Sorry I don’t know… don’t have GoPro
Hello Zdenka. I love your channel. Bought the Hohem steady lately after watching your review. Now a question for this mic. Is it somehow possible to use it with the gimbal and an external SSD? I am thinking of getting a new phone and this mic. But I guess when recording in 4K I will run out of storage pretty soon. What do you say? Thank you.
Thank you for your support. I think any case you need to look at Bluetooth microphone… there is one which works with all apps, but it is not cheap. I think it’s called smartmic + something like that
Hello again.
I bought the hohem mic 1. now I am trying to figure out if it is possible to record to different tracks with the two mics. I did not find a way. Am I missing something here? Or is it just not possible?
Best regards
Jonas
@@mogamobo You have to cobble stereo together yourself from the files saved on the two memory cards!
@@ericd7709 Thank you! I did not think of that option. I did not check the files of the cards yet and realize, that they are different from each other, which is quiet obvious :|
Does this work for something like zoom and phone calls while using phone speaker?
Can you use this in conjunction with Bluetooth speakers?
Yes it should be no problem
Are two transmitters recording in stereo mode?
Yes
@@ZdenkaDarula I was already answered under another video. The channels from both receivers are summed and the video recording is mono
How does it compare to the comica mic version for smartphones? Which one would you prefer?
Good question…. I love the features with Hohem but the quality is a bit better with Comica… I have to be honest…. Normal sound is good, but the filters are adding some artificial noise in the background.
Thank you, I like your reviews:)@@ZdenkaDarula
Would be nice if they provided a companion app which would allow to fine tune the audio properties and effects, even though the noise cancellation sounded fine to me (at the strongest setting), but the reverb was too crude to be useful in its' current state. Ahoj!
I agree with you. I did not like the reverb too much either.
On android version, can I live monitor through Bluetooth ear buds connected to the phone rather than the wired live monitor connection?
Sorry I unfortunately don’t know
Hi - (firstly love your videos, always super informative) I got myself one of these, but am finding the range to be really really bad - any tips? The distorted disconnect you get in your range test, is what I experience at only 1-2 paces away, worse if I turn away. I only every wanted use it for up to about 5m maybe. But at this range I can't even set the camera down and talk to it at more than an arm's reach reliably. I tried it in the house and outside in the open, just incase there was interferance
Hm…. I wonder if you have faulty product. I would try to get that exchanged. This doesn’t sound right
@@ZdenkaDarulaYeah... I have emailed them, its a good product but the range makes it barely worth using. Annoyingly this is already the second one I have ordered - they sent me the wrong version the first time and direct from their site it takes weeks to get the new one
thanks for the reply
"just incase there was interferance"
The frequency band is the same as Bluetooth and WiFi, so disabling those on your phone might help?
Maybe even phone calling, too -- Airplane mode?
With other microphones, I find the microphone usually 'wins' and bluetooth speakers and earbuds fail first ...
@@ericd7709Thanks for the suggestion - turns out it was a faulty mic.
To update - I did get a replacement sent out from Hohem and I tested the mic at the same location with the same setup, on my gibmbal/tripod, as I did before it didn't cut out at the short distances I was using it before, did around 10m just moving around fine. So tested going all the way down the road and it managed fine. I think at around 80m approx it started 'robot-ing'. Maybe twisting and facing away from the reciever and such could diminish this though, I was facing it with the mic on my front - was going for max distance
Interested in getting. The issue is I will need one for my laptop Type C and one for my Iphone 14. I need to record on phone and also from laptop. if I buy the c type version, will the iphone c port adaptor be good if I then use it on my phone?
Or a better option would be to buy the one for the Iphone and get a connector to link to laptop C type? Then at least there are no extra adapter when using on phone as an extra adapter on phone will make it very cumbersome.
That should work but I haven’t tested it so I cannot confirm
Plz
Hohem 01 vs lark c1 vs lark m2
I am sorry I don’t know lark… so I cannot help here
I had the Fulaim for about 2 months, looks like i will be getting rid of it for this
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Okay.. I purchased the comica mic set based on your reviews and couldn't be happier.. The ONLY things I wish it had was the ability to record locally on to a micro SD or internally to the transmitter. AND the ability to add my own LAV mic because the big transmitter clipped to the talents shirt is distracting.. THIS set solves BOTH of those problems! AWESOME....
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I like comica too…. There is always something new on the market… this one seems interesting.
Comica 'BoomX-D PRO' has Onboard Recording ... expensive, but you don't need to buy memory cards ...
@@ericd7709 I'd kinda rather buy memory cards. Rather than rely on internal memory. BTW.. I got the Hohem MC01 and it works great.. But I put in a samsung 64GB U3 card and it had errors when recording.. it would skip.. So I picked up the SanDisk 32GB U3 High Endurance Video MicroSDHC card and TADA! It works perfectly!
Is the standalone transmitter able to record audio even if we turn off the receiver?
Unfortunately, no
Manual (from Amazon B0CQLVS1F7) says 'Yes' ...
"The TX features a TF card slot. When TX is not connected to RX and
a TF card is detected, the product can function as a standalone
recorder. To ensure optimal recording results, you can select a
suitable noise cancellation mode based on the environment.
* It supports up to a 32GB TF card (in FAT format) with the
capacity to record up to 94 hours."
i have a question:
so i want to use blue tooth earbuds from jlab. AND use a lavalier or bluetooth mic. using BOTH at 1 time achieving similar effect as headset without using the bug clunky headset. i'd rather use bluetooth earbuds and bluetooth mic.
i was wondering if the mic in this video can do that? my phone is a galaxy s21.
i drive for a living. and i wear a rimmed hat and clunky headsets dont fit my head. and the headsets thats an ear piece to me they all are heavier and clunkier than my jlab earbuds. i got jlab work buds which has a mic but it doesnt work well for driving people i talk to cant hear me.
I unfortunately cannot answer your question ask don’t have the items. What you could do is get it through Amazon, carefully open it, test it and if it doesn’t work return it… that is the only option I see here in this case
@@ZdenkaDarula yeah i have a few lav mics coming will do.
i also forgot how to do returns on amazon. ill trying to visit amazon support pages maybe it will say.
Damn, I JUST bought the DJI Mic set a couple weeks ago. LOL
It is much more higher league… this is budget mic do keep it…
Great video. Many thanks👍🏻
Microphone nice package of features, but
Unfortunately sound quality not satisfying for my taste.
You are very welcome and thank you for sharing your thoughts
No bad for $55 type C, I’ve already have something similar to this one.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Mic sounds great, but that orange circle is a bit distracting. How does it sound reversed?
Yes the orange shouldn’t be there… there is no difference if it is reversed
@@ZdenkaDarula Do you think this wireless mic has the best in body noise canceling or a different one?
Can I use this with my Rode Streamer X?
Sorry I don’t know as I don’t have Rode
I saw this video too late because the Comica version of this was just delivered but this Hohem has more refined features AND is cheaper!!!
Unfortunately it happens all the time. New products always pop up on the market…, I think you will still like Comica
True true but at least 1 thing is that I have to take my case off every time...@@ZdenkaDarula
Shame that the same does not charge the receiver. I presume it charges the transmitters?
Yes I know… only the transmitters can be charged
Because the receiver always works connected to a USB source, it does not need to be charged. The power to make it work comes from the cellphone or computer.
The distance wasn't so great. Is there a difference when you face the camera?
I have to do more testing.. but yes the distance wasn’t good if you turn around…
Shame that you can’t charge the receiver without a cable. Presumably the iPhone charges it?
Hm…. Interesting idea…
Don't understand what the point in the reverb function is. Hollyland Lark M2 seems a better buy to be honest. especially with the size of the mics, although it doesn't record.
When it comes to reverb function, I feel exactly as you…. I thought many times how this could be used, but I can’t figure it out. Thank you very much for sharing our thoughts about this microphone.
For professional use I would have to say no, why ? Because the when noise cancelation was on . Your voice sounded at robotic, and I noticed a hissing in mic ... when I had on my headphones.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I noticed the budding too but I wasn’t sure if it is just me. So you heard it as well. I will address it with Hohem to make sure I didn’t select wrong settings but it is absolutely there..
The mic looks small i wonder whats the battery life on the transmitter
It is quite small. I’m not exactly sure about the battery life. I only used it a few times and so far I didn’t need to charge it.
The link to the mic on your notes is down
I just checked it works… but it is only available on US Amazon…
Yes, you need to face the camera for range testing. Other Hohem testers are OK to 50m + ...
Or wear it on your back, shoulder, or hide it on top of your head in your hair.
This is why professionals tend to use UHF.
2.4GHz is the same frequency band as microwave ovens, so the signal gets absorbed by meat i.e. the human body.
Beware different countries use different UHF frequencies for digital TV and mobile phones. Using a random UHF mic bought online or from abroad is likely to be illegal, and transmit and receive interference.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts… other brands I tested don’t have this issue
I tested the mic. There's such a strong and annoying background noise / hiss on my Samsung compared to other budget wireless systems. How to fix that?? Anyone experienced the same? Strange nobody talks about this.
I’m sorry to hear that… I would have to hear what it is
It seems promising, but there are also better and more versatile options available in the market.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Hey zdenka, is it me or do when u turn on the noise cancelation an talk, I hear u voice n underneath it there is another deeper voice which is creepy
I don’t hear that, but it could certainly be a little bit better
I find these noise cancelling features make outdoor recordings sound unnatural. I use them but I find to make the audio sound natural…I’ll add in a ambience track.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Thanks! The reverb was truly dreadful. I can't imagine anybody using it. Also the noise cancelation was disappointing, affecting your voice too much; I think my Fulaim X5 was better.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts… yes the reverb effect puzzles me too… I would like to see how it is used in real life
@@ZdenkaDarula My first venture into wireless lavs was with a cheap $15 kit which also had reverb. Absolutely awful. And too easily switched on, as with its bad noise cancellation. The 'normal' audio wasn't too bad but you could never rely on the others being switched off. Only had one button for everything. Now replaced with Fulaim X5.
Super Video, diky
Není za co, přeji hezky den
Better than the DJI Mic?
I don’t know I don’t have that one
@@ZdenkaDarula it’s about three times the price. Good sound quality. The one in the video looks good value though.
I would say that dji mic sounds warmer, but this is great option for taking it around and not feeling bad if i break it or loose it. Plus is lighter than dji mic, is a win 🥇
@@JongaLife yeah that’s a real thing; worrying about loosing, breaking or having nice equipment stolen.
Hi Zdenka As always an excellent review. I bought the Hohem M6 on the back of your review. I'll be buying the Mic as well now. I needed a mic set and the Røde option was pricy for me as a hobbiest. I think that as I have a Hohem gimbal it would be best to go with a hohem design mic. I can't see the need for the reverb option, can't see what I would use that. The middle option on the noise cancellation sounded a bit odd, like it was impacting on your voice but the yellow option sounded good. Regards from Ireland
They need to remove the logo on the front, no one wants to see that in an interview
True it is very visible
:)
Thank you so much for your support
She tells you everything you don't need to know she tells you everything except for how to hook it to the phone and make it work
Well, she doesn’t tell you that because this is not a tutorial this is a review…. You just plug it in that’s all you do. It works right away.
Typical I've just bought a new mic
I know it always happens.. same here
hope u make ask for hohem to give u for giveaway for subscrivers
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
I bought it tested it and promptly return it for a refund.
You get what you paid for.
Hm…. This mic was launched this morning so where did you buy it that you even returned it that fast???
You look like Nikki haley, fighting for presidential election from US.
I hope you sobered up and feel better
Haha… ok… that’s a new one
😂😂
