I've done a few pink-noise analysis tests on the Tascam mic. There's a huge spike at 8khz that can sometimes make you prefer it because it seems brighter, but in reality its an unnatural and harsh spike up that causes sibilance problems and is tough to remove in post.

Very good points.

This comparison is not between 3 mics - but between a directly plugged in mic, a small recorder and a wireless system! For example the Sennheiser G4 you linked, is bundled with the Me-2-II mic, that is sold seperately for around 129,- (and can also be bought in other bundles - or even used with the Tascam recorder). So your comparison is actually not about the mics' qualities (including preamps) but more about the different systems. That are directly plugged in, small recorder and wireless lav setups!

@KarenLum

I love the transparency and flex in the beginning of the video. You the man, Parker!

Awesome video! I can definitely notice a difference between the FTF and Tascam, with the FTF sounding a little more muffled to me. I will go with the Tascam, thanks for the recommendation.

Parker, all the best for your brand accessories! We love it and will always support it!!

thank you SO MUCH for editing this, and bouncing back and forth between the diff mics. prob the best video i've seen that demostrates the difference. great work

Thank you, Parker! FTF is not bad at all! A little bit noisy and lacks highs. But it can be fixed on post with no problem. Also you can use "match EQ" for FTF and it will sounds like Sennheiser.

Will the $29 Lav mic work with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra? Also, does it work ok with the adapter?

Love your transparency and fair play 🙌 Best of luck with the new range of hardware... great pivot!

I admire you for always being honest and so transparent in your tutorials...definitely no fluff! "You benefit either way!" 🤣

I'm waiting on the Zoom F2 field recorder, it has 32 bit float and a decent price.

i was really looking for a new lav.. i’ve been waiting for a video like this.

*Thanks for the honest review. Your videos are really good.*

Most of the video sounded like it was leaking over the speakers of my note 10 with volume about ¾ of the way up. This is awesome. I love the honesty as to what Parker will get out of each purchase. I've used wireless transmission lavs and hate the interference. I like the self-contained style of the Tascam. Syncing in post has been way more worth it to me. I would have definitely bought the FTF Gear lav 2 years ago when I was starting to record.

Great advice man. Thanks for this video

That was nice! Budget lights would be interesting as well!

If only everyone had quality hearing.

Are there other middle tier mics that you can plug directly into your camera? It seems silly to not have that option with the more expensive options.

Right off the start, thank you for being transparent! I heard your opinion between the Tascam mic and the Sinnheiser mic. I plan to use it in a classroom where I may be moving around. Will that be an issue with the Tascam? What are your thoughts of using the FTF and Tascam with the Rode 2 wireless?

always waiting yo see your videos

love your honesty about making money that is why we trust your videos

Exactly the video I was looking for! For KZread videos, would you recommend the tascam over a boom mic like the rode videomic pro +?

"I benefit either way"😂... Amazing Parker!

Tascam sounds slightly brighter but otherwise the FTF mic sounds just as good to me as the much more expensive options. I think you've got my $12! Thanks for the honest comparison and for creating something I can afford!

Thanks for the comparison! Would have loved if a røde setup was in this comparison due to the so popular Wireless Go.

Thank so much for the detail video you make it helps new filmmakers and content makers thanks God bless you

respect for the transparency with how you would benefit.

I just ordered the FTF v2 because of this video. Thank you, I used your amazon affiliate link. Made the decision making easy!

I’ll be filming an interview with my Sony A6400 camera and will be at a noisy location. I’m wondering what you’d recommend for mics that would pick up the speakers voice the best while keeping background noise to a minimum. I don’t have control over where I will be recording or else I’d go somewhere less hectic lol

Yes perfect timing I needed this totally getting FTF gear

Tentacle Sync Track E - best of them all. Good lav mic included. 32 bit float so no worries of clipping. No interference from being wireless. Plus time code for easy accurate sync.

Straight to the point and in depth! Respect!

Very good and informative. I should tell you in my field, Audio Post Production for movies and television, that is so critical to exactly match your mic positions. The level 3 mic is nowhere near in the same position on your shirt. We call this "on" and "off" axis. In fact two of them are buried into a crease of your shirt while the lowest one is has an external pop filter and is 100% more on axis . The level 2 and level 1 mic have nicer and smoother high end than the level 3 mic. Sorry to get critical. Dig the channel and thinking about subscribing.

Thank you! Excellent video

You sold me on the Tascams. Thank you so much for being forthright.

So excited for the new brand!

I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Thank you for this.

Great video! Thank you!

I got 5 of the $29 dollar mics from your link for guest podcasting. Hey they sound pretty good! Thank you for the great affordable suggestion ..

ftf mic is pretty decent for a start point, although i can't really hear a big difference between the tascam and the seinnheiser so i wouldn't go the extra mile to get the upgrade. the tascam gets the job done if you are on a budget. Thank you for the comparison !

Great video. Something we’ve been looking into. I’ve actually used that app and it’s brilliant. I used it in college and i cannot recommended it enough.

Very good , thank You ! I will wait for the new zoom and see results. Also when I saw bike video of the iphone 12 pro max i bought one for wide b-roll next to my GH5 on the gimbal for Weddings, good Job Guys !

Thank you this video was amazing

love the honesty

It takes me 5 seconds to synchronize my audio in post...I'll take the new zoom haha great review parker always love your content.

To me, the pricing reflected the sound quality perfectly. I did not like the sound at the start before I even wondered what mic you were using. While the Sennheiser sounds the best to my easy, closest to the human voice with the need for least additional eq, and some de-essing, I wonder if all the mics were plugged into the same recorder, bypassing their own recorders, and transmitters, what the result would be. I'm guessing that the Sennheiser is the ME2, if I'm not mistaken? I have the Tascam DR10-l, and the voice needs plenty of EQ, the recorder is noisy, so de-hiss is needed. It works, but is not great. I also got an ME4 (the cardioid version of the ME2), which seems to sound better than the included Tascam, and is great for when you need more sound isolation, which is what the cardioid pattern gives you. A great comparison, sure to help a wide variety of budgets. Thanks for the video.

I got a Fulltime filmmaker ad on that video so that was nice

I think I was one the first buyers of the FTF microphone :) Could you guys make a budget friendly recommendation video for lightning kits? I will working on a project to record interviews for Senior Leaders. Thank you!

Great comparison Parker. I've personally been using the Tascam for a while as I love the dual recording option for when people clip the original mic.

Thanks for being up front re your economic interests. I trust your reviews far more than those others who fail to disclose!!!

Love the honesty - Im willing to give it a bash after Purple Panda and the cheap Audio Technica ones - good luck bud!

A like just for the transparency alone 👍

Actually the Sennheiser Mic only is the ME2 and costs $130. You optionally _could_ add $470 for the wireless G4 transmitter and receiver. (Or a $25 Rode VXLR+ to connect the ME2) This wireless functionality you won't get with the FTF Lav or the Tascam (has other benefits). So I think it's a bit unfair to compare only the sound alone of these three options based on a maxed-out Kit-price without to compare the totally different feature sets of each package. They're different. Each of those three options has its legitimate purposes, pros and cons for sure. I just would have liked those included in the test.

Yeah it was definitely a skewed comparison that mis-represented the mic’s involved, not to mention how a wireless system with colour the sound as well. It definitely hides the small price increase it actually is to the Sennheiser ME2 and what an actual $400 Sennheiser lav like the MKE2 or MKE1 sounds like (not to mention durability).

What do you use for post processing the audio? Like at 4:44 - what program is that ?

Congratulations, you just sold me on a full time filmmaker lav mic

Wow. Those mics all sounded great.

Looking for the best mic that I can use DIRECTLY my IPhone. I shoot 90% with my iPhone and looking for a lav, particularly wireless if possible. Anyone got any recommendations?

This is pretty awesome I gotta get one myself.

I just got my new FTF Lavalier Mic, I am also a new FTF member and I must say you get a lot when you enroll in the Fulltime Filmmaker online course. what Parker and the whole team teach without a doubt if in the end I can improve the image, the audio and the way of presenting my videos on my KZread channel to my audience, for me it will be the best investment I have made with my money; The amount of material within the course is incredible and I know for sure after seeing everything the course has to offer that if I fail it is my fault, but I doubt that will be the case as I started to learn how to edit my videos and count a story with them, my videos don't have to be as good as Parker's for now, they just have to be better than I do now lolz. Hopefully one day I can collaborate with the whole team. thanks for the gears and thanks for the course. God bless you guys

wait that’s awesome for making budget friendly items, thank you

I'm an audio engineer and studio guy. First, the FTF sounds great, less bright/sibilant than the others,so I'm guessing it would have better feedback rejection for live use as well. Listen to arguably the most popular voiceover/radio/podcast mic in the world, the Shure SM7B, it sounds very "boomy" and bass with attenuated high-end, this is why many people love it (EV Re20 is basically the same, famous "radio announcer voice" mic, Rush Limbaugh's "Golden Mic" was an RE20). Secondly, the "$600 Sennheiser lav mic" is really a $500 wireless system with a $100 (or cheaper) lav mic (the ME2). The real high end Sennheiser lav mic is the MKE2, which is vastly superior to the ME2, which is generally regarded by pros as a pretty terrible mic. The MKE2 is also built like a tank....build quality is very important on these if you want them to last. Lav mics usually die from the cabling failing, usually at the connector or right where it joins with the mic body. Anyway, in this comparison, the FTF is very impressive. It has a slight honky nasal thing going on (common in cheaper mics) but you'd never notice it unless comparing to other mics. Anyway, EXCELLENT comparison and very well done getting straight to the point and not wasting time. Aloha!
