Good product for the price. I personally hook it up to a mixer to achieve a better sound quality. I had an issue where the first unit they shipped came with batteries and the ones from the receiver had leaked all over the inside of the unit. The company contacted me to ask how my purchase went and when they learned the problem, they immediately shipped a new unit, without batteries.

This is a great product! The units are very user friendly. The receiver goes onto the dslr camera (with the 3.5mm cable plugging into the mic port on the camera). The transmitter goes onto the person speaking, and the lavalier mic plugs into that. This is great because it allows you to record your video and audio at the same time without having to sync the audio in post. The wireless ability makes filming much easier as well. The battery life on the units are excellent. I recently filmed a 4 hour conference (having the transmitter plugged into a sound mixer) and the battery levels were still at full bars! The volume on these units are very sensitive. I kept mine on volume 1, and you can further adjust the volume on your camera. Another cool thing was that I was filming with 2 cameras (1 receiver each camera) and they both recorded the audio being sent from the one transmitter all at the same time with no issues.The design of the product is simple and modern. There is a power button (which is pretty responsive, powers up in about 1-2 sec), and the channel and volume buttons are inside the battery compartment. Thank goodness these units use AA batteries! The LCD screen is bright and shows you what channel you're on as well as the battery life in bars. The units come in a really nice box with a foam insert cut to fit the units.I'm currently using this for my youtube channel (vegan rev)! You can check out the sound quality in the attached video!

I haven't had a chance to field test this yet, but my home tests seem good. I haven't tested all the channels but I am hearing some interference on channel one--will have to test in other environments b/c it may just be my house. The units seem well-made and were on time and as described.

There is no question about it, this product is truly amazing for the price. I've seen a review that speaks of flimsy construction, but that is quite unfair in my POV. The battery compartment is hinged and clicks firmly shut, the body is quite firm and will not bend or give easily, so is suffice to protect its internal circuitry. It has a clear display, positive switching and a channel set button that is hidden under the battery compartment's cover. The sound that it produces on the final product, namely during editing is, the best I've heard and performance figures and specs are very close to devices 4x the price.If you like to spend money wisely, this product is for you. Whilst the price is nothing to shout home about, the sound quality is. My advice, buy it and show the video club and your customers how it should sound.

First impressions are great. The sound quality is fantastic, the clip mic is however slightly larger than I am used to, but its fine for what its used for. I'm impressed with the functionality of the units, the build quality is on the flimsy side, but for the price you couldn't expect more.Once ive used these units in a "live" situation I will report back.

So far so good. First impressions - it's plastic, the battery door hinges are quite cheap, but they'll be ok if you are careful. Microphone is a little large, but you'd still be able to hid it in a collar or jacket. The sound seems pretty decent. There are several channels to use. Make sure you plug the mic into the transmitter and not the receiver as I did. It does come in a nice box. Pretty decent value for the cost I must say.

I had been looking at wireless microphones to go with my Panasonic camcorder for some time, but up until recently couldn't justify the cost as most of those listed which had good reviews were expensive and beyond my budget for something that would have occasional use. I then stumbled on this item, which had a good rating and generally excellent reviews, and fell within my budget.My order arrived next day (excellent service Amazon). The product comes in a black foam lined box offering excellent protection and storage. The two units are quite small, around the size of a pack of 20 cigarettes, but slimmer. The first thing I did was to work out how to clip the hot shoe adaptor to the receiver as this wasn't clear in the enclosed instructions. It's simple to do, and clips on to the wire bracket attached to the receiver. My transmitter and receive contained AA batteries, with a plastic tab that was removed to allow contact with the terminals. This tab was removed and the two units powered up. My first test was to connect the supplied lapel microphone to the transmitter, attache the receiver to the camcorder, plug in the small 3.5mm link cable between receiver and mic-in socket on the camcorder and then do a simple test recording by walking up the garden path for around 50 feet or so. The resulting clip when played back on the PC was excellent, with a rich deep sound, with clear top end. The microphone is quite sensitive, so doesn't need to be placed too close to the mouth. I've not played with the other settings, but for a straight out of the box experience it was very good.Included in the box is a second microphone with a 3.5mm plug directly attached, so you can plug this in and use the transmitter as a standalone wireless microphone, although there is no second adaptor clip to attach the transmitter to a table top or boom stand, which would have been nice. For under £80 I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Good mic for the price. The volume control is strange die to the fact that I need to keep it at its lowest to avoid clipping and distortion. Wireless works well at a good range, howver some hissing does occur which needs to be removed in post.

Very easy to use and set up. I was very surprised by the audio quality of this unit. Its clear and crisp with very little humming/static.

This is an awesome wireless microphone by K&F concept. I also have a lavalier but with a cord, with this microphone I will be truly wireless which is awesome if you want to move around or want to hide your microphone. The distance is really good, I have not tried the maximum distance of 20 meters yet but so far with my camera in one place on the first floor and me testing around in the house, in the basement, it worked really well. The quality is also really good, you can change the volume of the audio input also.Using this set of microphone was pretty easy, they also do provide a really good manual in case you have never used such thing. Basically it comes with a transmitter and a receiver (both has 2 AA batteries each included), the transmitter will have the socket for the microphone and the receiver will be connected to your camera audio mic socket.On the transmitter set, you have a mic input to connect one of the two microphones provided. One microphone has a wire for you to run it from the transmitter that could be attached on your belt and clip the microphone on your clothes so you can have your hands free and be a little more subtle. The other microphone is directly plugged in the mic input of the transmitter set so you can hold the transmitter and use it as a microphone to interview people. To quickly differentiate the transmitter from the receiver since they are identical, you have to look for the input socket. The transmitter has the socket for MIC while the receiver has the socket for OUT.There are severals features with this set, you can change channels if you hear interference (up to 6 different channels), you can lower or higher the volume, they use two LCD screens that show the battery level, the volume level and the channel used. It also comes with a hot-shoe mount/boot type to set your receiver on top of your camera.
