BOYA - BOYAMIC 2

The well known brands perform as expected and you can't go wrong with DJI, but I was impressed with Boya's "Boyamic" kit having reviewed two of their devices. No, you don't get 32-bit float though that isn't a necessity. It's securing features are internal recording and a safety track.

The Mini Boya wireless is good. The receiver fits into the USB and is small enough to not show up in the stitching, sounds good, and the price is very good. It's nice cause it doesn't require extra pieces to hold the receiver like we had to do with previous cameras. I also got the Mic Air from Insta360. Personally, I prefer the Mic Air. (I got just the mic, no receiver.) I like that it's Bluetooth. No open compartments, so it stays sealed against rain, dirt, etc. Just turn it on and go. But the biggest thing, which I would have never thought about, is that the mic sits on your lapel facing out, like a coin. I have used lapel Mics, but often, if I'm moving, eventually, they'll rub up against clothes and make that awful loud scratching sound. I swear, no matter how I attach it, a lapel will eventually do that if I'm moving. The Mic Air sits facing outward and so there is almost no way for it to brush against clothing. And, it does sound really good and works really well. Hit the button and it's connected. Doesn't get much better than that. Something to consider. 🤗

I have a situation where I have to unplug it everytime to hear my playback. Did you manage to solve it? Running boya on iPhone 15 pro max.

Boya Mini! By far the best value for money! I've been using one of them for over two years!

I bought a cheap boya mic because I didn't want to pay the premium of the then Rhode wireless system.i wasn't filming a lot I had issues with the connection in the field. ended up never using the mic. I started to record more talking head footage outdoors and when I needed it, the mic died and I couldn't charge the charging case anymore. I tried everything. i recently bought the DJI mic mini because I didn't want to use the charging case and only needed one mic. can't wait to give it a try.

BOYA mic are decent as well, given the compact factor vs what they deliver, its value for money

Got some Boya ones recently..cost about £40 and really good, have noise reduction.
