Syco G2 (A2) Lav System - [ Ссылка ]

The Synco G2 (A2) wireless lav is a compact, lightweight dual lav system with internal battery. It comes with 2 lavs unlike the Rode GO 2 in which you need to purchase the lav separately. I tried it out and compared it to the Rode Go 2 and my Sennheiser G3. It performs fairly well and sounds decent but it didn't out perform the Rode GO 2 in terms of signal to noise. It's a great device for the money and if you need lavs on a budget then this is for you.

10:39 Conclusion

** PLEASE NOTE ** in this video there may be sections where the mic was slightly 'hot' or over powered / amplified. I found it difficult to see the screen and know what power I had it on. I may have accidentally had it at 15 when it should have been 12. Therefore, I feel the sound may be a little less good in areas.

Is cheaper better? Well.... no, obviously. But these are a great cost effective way of getting 2 mics into your camera. I would recommend it if you're on a budget.

Score against the Rode
Synco G2 - Sound quality: 6/10 | Price: 10:10 | Build Quality: 6:10 | Usability: 6:10 - Total: 28
Rode GO 2 - Sound quality: 7/10 | Price: 8:10 | Build Quality: 8:10 | Usability: 8:10 - Total: 31

I didn't mention battery or charging in the video. They charge fairly quickly via usb and the 3 way cable provided is very handy. Battery is quite long lasting.

The screen is a nightmare when outside. It's impossible to see it. You'll need to put it inside your clothing to see the screen. How can Synco sleep at night after making a device with a screen like this?
