Sounds good on the paper. We'll see how it performs in practice.
I loved the idea of this since it was first talked about long ago. But it's just ridiculously overpriced. It's almost as much as quality wireless. Not sure I would ever choose this over wireless.
Does anyone double these up with a wireless pack on the talent, for safety in the event of interference or any issue on RX side? Or as a way to monitor wirelessly but record hard-wired on the talent...
I dunno about it really being overpriced. The "quality" wireless systems are about $300 a unit, this is almost half that. Certainly pricier than an H1 with a cheap lav, but also definitely a step up from that.
Well, cost is around 30-50 for them in China. But it is product that sales in small quantities and plagued by horrible patents ( mean here lack of output) - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/15867/zaxcom-and-why-patents-must-go-to-hell-with-capitalism-as-company/p1
I like this idea, it is great for short handed gigs, as long as it proves reliable, but it is 199.99$ now, man.
White version coming soon

Can't afford wireless? (as anything below a G3/UWP-D11 is junk) Don't care if you can't monitor your audio??? :-o (straight to audio hell you go!)

Now that is a very clear + useful video! thanks.
Thanks for the heads-up! Amazing deal.
I bought one of these on the 130$ deal recently and used it to lav myself up and record my own wedding. Worked absolutely perfectly. I set the gain a little higher than normal and put the lav on my left lapel so it would pick up the officiant and my wife. I then used the -12 safety track for my own voice. I did use a different mic since I got the white one and a white lav would have stood out very strongly on my dark brown suit. The mic I used was the JK Mic-J 044.
