Samson Go Mic Mobile Professional Handheld Wireless System for Mobile Video

I got the Gomic mobile because I heard it would improve the audio quality whenever I made a video on my iphone. I also bought a second mic (this device can operate 2 wireless mics) from another store, because it wasn’t available on Amazon. Anyway test 1 was walking from table to table at a 90th birthday party for people to offer their well wishes. Worked perfect in a very noisy environment, went home, edited on imovie for a nice finished product.Next I used it to help my neighbor’s video their daughters audition for a music school. Again sounded perfect.Then my son asked to borrow it and now I can’t get it back. He is using it for all his Youtube videos and is starting what he calls an IRL show? I'd recommend because there are so many different uses.

I bought this as a replacement for my old Samson Go Mic that suddenly stopped working and it’s still extremely unreliable. I thought the old system stopped working because it was defective, but because this second one is doing the same thing I’m going to go ahead and assume they’re all defective. I’m using and iPhone 11 Pro Max. I would not recommend this product.

I got this for a friend to use while livestreaming on Instagram at an offroad event. Worked perfectly. Audio quality was outstanding, used it with an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Had the whole rig attached to a Smooth 4 gimbal. Awesome setup, starting with this microphone's audio quality.

UPDATE My second receiver just broke. The USB port on the receiver is poorly engineered and poorly made. Don't buy this product.I'm not sure why there isn't a mic on the market (at least that I can find) that works with Bluetooth straight into a recording app. Why must be forced to buy a system that requires an intermediary piece of equipment?I bought this system and after first use, lost the receiver. Stupid me, right? But, while Samson will sell you any other part of the system, including the mic, separately, they won't seel you, and Amazon won't sell you, the receiver.Of course, humans being humans, receivers are going to get lost. But if you do that, you have to repurchase the entire system. Which I did, this one time. Because so far it's worked well for me. It should serve my purposes well.Another reason I'm giving this a one-star review is I wrote to Samson about this issue and didn't even get the courtesy of a response. Poor customer service.

The Samson Go Mic Mobile Professional is a small and convenient wireless kit that's great for phones and DSLR cameras. I used the unit on both and was impressed with the sound, but only in certain scenarios. The quality can drop dramatically depending on the amount of signal interference. Considering it has the word "Professional" in its name, the performance will disappoint some users.When used in less crowded situations -- homes, studios, events with fewer than 100 people -- the Samson Go Mic Mobile Professional is fantastic. The audio is clear and range is impressive for such a small unit. If you're filming in these kinds of spaces then the product is highly recommended.I brought the unit to a few tradeshows that had thousands of people and lots of electronics competing for bandwidth. No matter what adjustments I made, I always experienced audio cutout. Sometimes it wasn't bad -- for interviews, we'd just go back and shoot the question again. Other times the cutouts were so frequent that we had to switch to a wired microphone. For events like tradeshows, I wouldn't rely on this product due to the audio cutouts. You'll definitely need a backup solution.Overall, the Samson Go Mic Mobile Professional is a good product for certain shoots and an unreliable one for others. Depending on your needs, it could work great, but if you're shooting at crowded events with a lot of interference then be prepared for audio dropouts.

I love that the system because it's is so versatile. The kit comes with the stick mic as well as a lav. I've only used the stick at press conferences and even though I have used two brand new ones, it is susceptible to some sort of interference. The audio suddenly drops out, sometimes for word or two, sometimes infrequently, and sometimes way too often. Customer service is excellent, they're willing to replace the mic every time, but I think the problem is in how it transmits the signal. It happens in different situations under different circumstances whether it's indoor or outdoor. The stick mic also picks up handling sounds way too much. If someone is tapping on a podium the mic picks that up as a pounding. I haven't had the opportunity to use the lavalier microphone yet.

Its worth every penny. The sound recorded from this microphone was amazing and clear. No distortions or dropouts. The battery on the receiver and handheld device last a long time. I recorded 3hrs plus without any issues and the best part of all NO CORDS!

Love it, found the same item for less, so look around for a better deal.
