The Godox MoveLink M2 is a compact 2.4GHz digital wireless mic system with 2 mics and receiver for $199.
Godox sent me their MoveLink M2 wireless system to try out, back in November. From the start I was impressed by the little mics and receiver. Recording them cleanly was a bit of an unexpected challenge, and I’ll share some tips in this video.

00:00 – Intro
00:48 – What’s in the box
03:02 – First impressions and problems
05:24 – connecting to computer
05:42 – The cost is very reasonable
06:11 – Using the MoveLink with a phone and OBSBot Me
07:35 – Detecting latency – 66ms
09:32 – Connecting to DSLR/Mirrorless cameras
10:57 – Phone tests
13:06 – where will I use the MoveLink system

You get:

  • 2 mic/transmitters and 1 receiver
  • Charging case (no internal battery)
  • 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphones
  • fluffy wind filters
  • TRS and TRRS coiled cables for phone, and camera/line input connection
  • 3 USB A to USBC charging cables

I recommend adding a cable for XLR connection for easier use with portable recorders and audio interfaces.

Depending on your equipment there may be a few ways to connect and may require some trial and error to get optimal results.

This isn’t really a review of the MoveLink system, just sharing my experience, some examples, and tips. I hope you find this video useful.

You’ll hear this mic system tested for sound quality when connected to a phone, computer, and camera. I do not have access to competing mic systems by Rode, Saramonic, DJI, etc. to compare.

Thanks to Godox for sending me this great little wireless system.
