Comica CVM-WM100PLUS - Wireless Microphone System for Cameras, Camcorders, Smartphones, Laptops, Professional UHF Wireless Lavalier Lapel Microphone with Dual-Channel Recording, AA Batteries

Hardware: Two transmitters & One Receiver that have range of 100 Meters or around 109 Yards (basically an American Football field). The range is impressive. This is great for most filming needs, especially if you are filming a local high school football game. You can have multiple people talking from anywhere and keep your camera centrally located. Anything less than that and you’re perfectly fine. Two 3.5 mm lavalier microphones that provide good audio, what you would expect from a lavalier mic. Make sure you keep your subject within 3 feet of the microphone (closer is always better of course) for the best usable audio. I also loved that they included two wind muffs for the lavalier mics. These work great for any outdoor filming or even indoor filming if you have a lot of air movement like fans or air conditioners. Two Output cables. A 3.5 mm - 3.5 mm cable used to plug the receiver into a camera or phone and a 3.5 mm - XLR for connecting to an audio board or camera with an XLR input. I like that they included this cable. I have not had the opportunity to test this yet, but I would like to try to use the 3.5 mm - XLR cable as an input and bring in an XRL Mic into the Input of one of the transmitters. If you have tried this I would love to hear about your results. I will try it one day, just haven’t had the chance yet. One Micro USB - USB A cable which is used to plug in an external power bank to any of the units. I love the fact that all three units have this ability to use an external power bank and not just AA batteries. But I would like Three cables so that I had one for each unit. Tip: When using an external power bank I would also use some gaffer tape to secure it to the side of the unit. I talk about mAh sizes later on if you’re interested. Three Belt Clips that you need to put on. It was a bit difficult to get the clips on at first, but I do like that they are pretty secure and I like that they can be removed. I have not had an instance where I needed to remove them yet, they don’t really get in the way. Camera Mount which is simple thing I’m glad they included. They don’t cost much and many videographers will have a dozen or more laying around. But it’s nice to see that they wanted to include one for the receiver if you are using it with a camera. Just a nice thing to have. Case which is simple and nice. I love that the main compartment holds each unit with the belt clips on securely in foam. I’m not worried about damaging anything when moving equipment around. The front section is a good size, holds all the accessories easily and could also house many batteries or power banks if needed. I like being able to keep everything together in one case. Power: The Receiver and both Transmitters can take 2 AA batteries or use a Micro USB external power source like a power bank. With 2 AA batteries each unit will last 6 hours. Since a AA battery has 2400 mAh (4800 mAh total), you are using about 800 mAh per hour. So be mindful of that when buying power banks. Instruction Manual & Warranty: Well organized and easy to understand which is good because there is a slight learning curve to use it properly. So make sure you read the user manual, it will help you get up and running quickly. Also, keep a copy or Print out the receipt to keep with included warranty. However, I wish both had a larger font, maybe make them bigger, it was a bit hard to read. You can download the user manual in a PDF form which makes it a lot easier to read and zoom in. Website: Website is clean, organized, and easy to navigate. Overall I am impressed and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in wireless microphones. Great job Comica.

I create online tutorial content related to topics of audio, photography, filming and lighting. For my video creation needs, I mostly use wireless lav microphone systems so I can have the freedom to move around without tripping over audio cables. I’m typically filming myself with my camera or camcorder roughly 5 to 7 feet away from me and have a variety of Canon cameras to choose from, such as the Canon 90D DSLR, Canon M50 mirror-less, Canon G60 camcorder, Canon XF400 camcorder. For this simple audio test, I’m pairing the Comica CVM-WM100 Plus wireless microphone system to my Canon 90D DSLR camera with my favorite lens, the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM zoom. At the typical distance of 5 to 7 feet away from the camera and wireless receiver, the Comica CVM-WM100 Plus microphone works fine and the audio is crisp and clear. I realize this microphone has a rating of over a couple hundred feet distance, but I personally find that to be non-applicable for my own needs because I would never film myself from that far away. Even if I were to film myself from such a far distance, my face would be so tiny in the frame that you wouldn’t be able to see me, so there’s no point in doing that. Generally speaking, wireless lav microphone systems work better indoors than outdoors. Why is that? Because with indoor usage, a typical wireless lav microphone signal will bounce around the walls and come back to the receiver. But in open outdoor usage, there are no walls for the signal to bounce around, hence making it more difficult to maintain a signal from a longer distance. This is especially true when there is no line-of-sight whereby the transmitter is not directly facing the receiver on the camera, which means this can result in a dropped signal and gets worse over longer distances. But again, this is not applicable for my own needs for doing online video content whereby I am filming myself in front of the camera within 10 feet away from the wireless receiver on the camera. Of course, your needs may be different and your mileage may vary which depends on many factors. Therefore, I’m more interested in the practical aspects of a wireless lav mic, such as reliability and ease of use without too much fussing around with settings. The Comica CVM-WM100 Plus mic works well for my needs given the type of work I do. I generally only use 1 transmitter paired to the receiver, but I like the idea that this package kit comes with 2 wireless transmitters in case I have a second person that I want to film and record for audio. I find the transmitter to be very light weight and relatively compact. The light weight for both the transmitters and receiver is most likely due to the all plastic material construction. I can’t speak to the long-term durability of the product, since I have not had this long enough. The dimensions of the transmitter and receiver is a little bit taller in height than other similar systems I’ve used, I would prefer it to be a little shorter. But as mentioned, an advantage is that the unit is very light weight, even with 2 AA batteries inserted. Speaking of batteries, I prefer to use Eneloop rechargeable AA batteries which generally provide me over a few hours of usage per charge. In a way, I prefer to use AA batteries versus a microphone unit that has a built-in rechargeable battery. Why you might ask? As an example, my Rode Wireless Go microphone system has a built-in rechargeable battery for both the transmitter and receiver. But once the battery runs dead from continuous usage, it takes quite some time to wait for the Rode Wireless Go transmitter and receiver to fully recharge again. This is highly inconvenient and a waste of time. But by using AA batteries for this Comica CVM-WM100 Plus microphone kit, I can simply swap out dead AA batteries for freshly charged ones that only take a few seconds to do. That’s why I usually prefer using a wireless mic that takes AA batteries versus a built-in rechargeable battery. I hate waiting for dead rechargeable batteries to charge back to life again. This Comica mic is pretty easy to use, you really don’t even need to read the manual, especially if you have experience using wireless lav mic systems. It’s easy to wirelessly pair the receiver to the transmitter, this only takes several seconds. Once paired, you’re in business and ready to record. Only other things to do is to set the volume level to an appropriate level for your voice, plus attach the wired lav mic to the transmitter(s) and maybe attach the dead cat/kitten too. The package comes with everything you need to record 2 persons wirelessly. In addition to the one wireless receiver, you also get two wireless transmitters in the box, which also include two wired lav mics to insert into each transmitter along with a dead cat/kitten wind screen for each transmitter. Also included in the package is a very nice carry case that fits all the various items. The Comica wireless receiver comes with a simple hotshoe adapter to attach the Comica receiver on top of a typical camera that has a hotshoe (or coldshoe). The useful LCD screen and navigation buttons on the receiver and transmitters are helpful for setting up the microphone and adjusting settings as needed. Plus the decibel scale on the LCD screen is useful to monitor your audio level to make sure you are recording at the proper level (not too loud nor too low in volume). All in all, I find this Comica microphone to be a decent value, especially when Amazon sometimes offers a sale. If you are need of a dual wireless lav mic system to record 1 or 2 persons for creating video content, this Comica CVM-WM100 Plus model is worth consideration. Check out the attached short video review plus pictures of this product.

es un equipo muy sencillo de usar, con una excelente conectividad y un micrófono sensible por lo que no hay que ponerlo muy cerca de la boca. Los equipos son ligeros de peso y cuenta con los elementos necesarios para conectarlos a cualquier equipo receptor de sonido.

Just received the product and I'm very happy with the delivery packing and the ease of functionality. I will be testing the setup and leave my thoughts here on Amazon. After testing my views: Pros: Its a brilliant piece of kit in this price bracket. Lightweight Easy to setup Dual charging capability Excellent wireless range Brillant quality via Lav mic Cons: A bit huge to carry with the case Small LCD display Could be smaller in size Honestly, I love this product especially the sound quality and really impressed by the ease of use. No Fuss. Although I've tested RODE products, ​truly believe and convinced that this is the real deal. 👍👍👍

The Comica CVM -WM 100 Plus 2 is great value for money. Highly impressed with the audio quality, yes the build quality is light weight but works perfectly even after pushing the system to 80 meters for a 2 presenter set up. The added advantage is the ability to accept a line input from an external audio mixer. I got to record a number of programmes with same set of batteries, What a life saver. I would easily recommend this system to fellow producers. The wide range of channels to choose from are advantageous especially when other broadcasters were also on location. The great price, surprisingly good audio quality, super easy set up and the carrying case wins it for me over more expensive mic sets. The receiver and transmitters are powered by AA batteries or a USB power source. The bodies are plastic, so not as robust as my Sennheiser's, but the total cost of the whole system was only ably 25% the cost of one Senn body pack. The battery cover is a little tricky to lock in place, but I discovered that you have to press and slide for it to lock into place. Other than these minor points, I highly recommend this for a low-cost high-quality sound with very good digital cannel selection avoiding any interference or dropouts.

The audio is great. No annoying buzzing in the background, and the sound has depth/base without even editing it. I've used it so far with my GoPro 3+ (with adapter) and my SLDR. Works perfectly on both, indoors and outdoors. Plug and play: No setting to mess around with, can be used straight out of the box. Channels can be adjusted if necessary. Easy to use.
