Beginners’ guide to wireless microphone for camcorder

Camcorders have evolved from gadgets capable of taking high-quality images to potent movie studios capable of producing professional-grade video. However, if you want to record high-quality audio, you should not rely on the camcorder's inbuilt microphone. Not only are they of average quality, but they also capture camera noise. For those who aim to pick up clear and clean sounds in a convenient and portable way, wireless microphone for camcorder is a good choice.

SYNCO G2(A2) dual wireless microphone for camcorder is used to record two-person fitness video.

Do you need a wireless microphone system for camcorder?

The answer is yes. A camcorder (camera recorder) is a portable digital recording device that can capture live video and audio and save it for later replay. Camcorders are made up of three basic components: a lens for gathering and focusing light, an imager for converting light into an electrical signal, and a recorder for converting electrical signals into digital video and encoding them for storage.

Most camcorders were not designed to provide high-quality audio recordings. Manufacturers have spent time and effort developing a gadget that takes superb video but not always terrific sound. The sound quality may be poor, and the volume may be low, especially if your subject is not close to the camera. And if there is undesirable background noise, all bets are off!

In this situation, using a wireless lavalier microphone for camcorder enables you to get a mic up close to the subject and pick up the target sounds without cable hassle. It also offers you the following benefits:

  • You can move freely without fear of tripping since there is no cable.
  • Fewer cables in the recording field give a clean look to your viewers.
  • It is more durable than wired one without the need to replace the damaged cable.

What makes the best wireless microphone for camcorder?

This involves several factors to consider. Let’s take a look at the top 4 features and they can help you make a wise decision when shopping for the best camcorder microphone.

Connection

The wireless lapel microphone for camcorder you purchase must work with the mic input port on your camcorder. Consumer camcorders include a 3.5mm jack for connecting an external microphone, whereas higher-end camcorders have an XLR jack. Before purchasing an external microphone, determine what type of input your camcorder has and select the one that will fit the jack.

Accompanying accessories

Accompanying accessories in the product package are equally important as they can make your recording more simple to some extent and help you decide which product is more cost-effective when they are at a similar price.

For example, besides two transmitters and a receiver, the SYNCO dual wireless microphone for camcorder G2(A2) also includes the following accessories in the package:

  • Two mic windshields to ensure clean audio recording in outdoor environments
  • Two external lav mics with wind muff to enable you to hide the whole system for cleaner frame
  • A carrying bag to keep the wireless system in place especially for mobile filmmaking.
