Synco WAir-G2-A2 MEGA Ultracompact 2-Person Wireless Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder for Cameras and Smartphones (2.4 GHz)

Since recently being tasked with capturing three hour college venue lectures, I had decided to research wireless lav recording systems. Before I had the chance to search, this set showed up on the website Deal Zone and based on the reviews, I purchased it. Three days later I put them to use on a three hour college lecture and I was extremely surprised how easy this was to set up and use. On this particular occasion I did not use the included lav mic but, intead, just used the built in transmitter mic. The lecturer's voice recorded crisp and clear and, with the exception of just a small amount of room hum that I cleaned up in post, this lecture video turned out great. If this product holds up over time, I got a real bargain. FYI: I kept the transmiiter gain at 0 and set my Panasonic GH5's audio gain to -3 and everything worked well.

The addition of signal and battery life meters is a great addition to this system. The headphone jack is also very helpful for use with cameras with no headphone output. Being about to use a lav mic makes hiding the mic helpful. Lots of accessories like mic clips and wind screens. Just wish they had. small case to put those small pieces in.

I will start off saying I used to use a lot of UHF systems easily over €1,000 each. Back then that was the best option. For years I resisted going wireless after the whole FCC wireless bandwidth fiasco suddenly made a ton of UHF systems illegal to use. Never really considered FM or even a low cost option as anywhere close to usable until I started seeing glowing reviews for this wireless system. First of all they are tiny. A fraction of the size of wireless kits we used to pin on people. They actually work as well. I have not used them in complex field situations yet but I'm impressed how well they work. I tested them out from one end of my house to another going through at least six walls and they worked without a hitch. The two channel system is practically flawless. Lav quality itself may not have the widest frequency range but it beats the pants off not having any mics at all or thinking a shotgun mounted to a camera ten feet away will somehow pull off a miracle. if you have the means to get a shotgun a few inches to a few feet away from the subjects mouth then yes do that. If not then this is a really solid solution. I also love that it uses 3.5mm so just about anything you can think of could be turned wireless. Music players, sound boards, DJ mixers, a computer output you name it. A locking connector could be nice for some but I like that just about anything can be plugged into this. The case and included cables are the coolest gear setup I have even see with a wireless system. Everything has a place and its a nice compact ready to go kit.

One of the transmitters broke 2nd day. I emailed the company twice for a warrantee replacement but never heard anything. B@H were brilliant as usual.

I purchased this in early May 2022, charged the transmitters and the receivers for testing, and after being mildly satisfied (they definitely have more self-noise than most of the sound recording gear I use), I put them away. At the end of July, I plugged the units in to charge for an upcoming job and one of the transmitters is completely dead. It won't charge. Completely useless.
