I'm a photographer and photojournalist just starting out into videography, and one of the first things you realise is that the onboard microphone on whichever camera you have, just will not cut it once you start getting into more professional scenarios, and an off camera mic is the best way to go about resolving the problem. I was after a wireless microphone system that was affordable and capable of the kind of stuff I was looking to use it for. This particular one, met the criteria I was after as it includes a lav mic for pinning to someone’s collar for interview type material as well as a plug-in stubby mic for recording ambient and environmental sound, which is great for things like group interviews etc.The instructions that come with the kit are basic but easy enough to follow and I was up and running pretty much straight away. You insert the batteries, power on both units and press the channel button to cycle between the six channels and pick the one that works best without any interference. One of the units has volume controls under the battery flap, and this is the one that attaches to the camera. Having volume control from 1-20 is super handy as you can adjust on the fly as necessary. Each unit also has a switch to change between mic input and line input if you want to wirelessly transmit from a constant audio source like a music player.All the cables you will need are included and you can be up and running straight out of the box. There is a wired lav mic, as well as a stubby plug in mic. An additional wind shield is also included in the kit which is a nice touch as these things always seem to get lost. The wireless range in my testing has been good so far, and I’ve only used it up to around 20 metres away, but the signal has been crisp with no interference or drop out. Overall, I am genuinely happy with this kit; it’s super easy to use and the quality is definitely up to scratch.

Set up is simple, you have 6 channels to choose from, I left it on the first one, as I've had no interference issues, I walked all around my house and ou compact case with various accessories. I have only tried the jump leads and the torch which seemed to have worked well. Although the battery pack says c thick and stiff, so the mic tends to pick up the slightest of movement (hence only 4 stars) I will experiment with other lav mics to see if I can get one that isn't as susceptible to clothes rustle on the cable.

Sound quality could be better but for the price ok at the end of the day you get what you pay for and this for the money's a nice easy to use microphone system just if you want professional sounding audio you may want to spend more

So great the sound quality, I've compared this weekend with boya lav and rode mic pro and there's no difference, wireless - no interference

I used this for the first time to do some outside reporting and I must say it was very good. The sound quality rivals that of the models that cost ten times as much. Crystal clear and the batteries last a good length of time. I have a shoot to do soon with multiple mics needed so I might buy a couple more.

The M8 wireless systemworks well and is pretty reliable. The receiver unit is capable of putting out a really loud signal, so one thing that is necessary is to get the volumes set correctly. Itis very tempting to turn up the receiver really loud and turn the recorder or camera right down. I had my camera set at its lowest level and still had to turn the receiver unit down. Doing this reduces noise dramatically.The other thing to do if you want extremely low noise is to get rid of the the supplied lavalier for something better. I changed over to a Primo em172 (Little Clippy) mic which has a louder input and less noise than the K & F one. Result was that the receiever had to be set even lower and noise was insiginificant.So for the price, this is excellent as long as you get a decent mic for it. In my opinion, K & F don’t do the unit justice with the supplied lav.Originally, I was going to opt for the Rodelink but the price of this one was too tempting so I decided to try it first. I’m sticking with this one.It works really well and if I’m honest, I was surprised by how good it sounded. So the sound quality with provided lav is 4 stars for me (maybe 3 actually) because it’s quieter and more frequency restricted than my Primo which is loud and open sounding. Change the mic and you have a gem here, which for me, was a bargain since I could get another set for still less than the Rode.

I don't know whether it is my device only, but the sound volume is very low even if I set the volume to the highest (using with my iPhone). Unfortunately, if I want really good sound quality and volume I need to use my good old cable-based mic. Not happy with this purchase.

It works perfectly, the supplier surprisingly also included a 3.5mm TRS (Female) Microphone to TRRS (Male) Smartphone Adapter with Headphone Jack so I was able to test it straight away on an iPhone 7 Plus. I recorded a 10 mins clip at around 10m distance and the audio was clear with consistent signal. Many people here have asked if this device works with mobile phones and didn't get a straight answer so I can confirm that if you intend to use it on your smartphone the answer is yes, it does work, just make sure that you have the TRS (Female) TRRS (Male) Adapter.
