Pros

• 50m range for long distance recording.
• 6 hour battery life means less need to recharge.
• Quick 2-hour full charge.
• Great sound quality from both transmitter and lav microphones.
• Includes a number of high quality, useful accessories for mounting.
• Kit includes two receivers for dual subjects in recording.

Cons

• Transmission can be interrupted in busy environments like expos, conventions etc.
• The design is a little vivid so not very discreet for interview setups.
• When using two mics, audio is recorded to both tracks so not independent tracks per person.
• No carry case is included which might make losing the smaller accessories a possibility.

KitGuru says: For £220 this kit delivers solid performance and a number of intuitive mounting options for people looking for a mic kit. And considering this is Joby's first attempt at making a wireless mic kit, we're impressed and intrigued to see where Joby takes this product range.
