I've tried several wireless systems to use with my iPhone for paid jobs.I was only interested in systems which have a XLR plug-on transmitter. I tried Comica, Saramonic, Mackie, Rode, Deity. I also tried the Godox with a handheld adapter. Rode also has one but both of them look like toys and add too much handling noise to the recordingComica's wasn't compatible with iPhones. Saramonic sent me an old and much criticised version (although the photo on Amazon's page was of the new version) so I sent it back without opening.The Mackie was good but just too basic.Deity was the biggest disappointment. You simply can't use it with iPhones for paid work as you can't monitor the sound. This because the receiver doesn't have a headphone port!!! Literally all receivers ... MoreI've tried several wireless systems to use with my iPhone for paid jobs.I was only interested in systems which have a XLR plug-on transmitter.

Literally all receivers from systems which are advertised as compatible with smartphones that I've seen have a headphone port.But not Deity. I tried to use it with a Rode audio interface, which has a headphone port. The audio on the headphone was strong and crystal clear but I found out that the audio being recorded to the iPhone, after having passed by the Rode, was just too low. Unusable. I had to boost the gain in the plug on transmitter to +36 db in order to have an audio with a volume that was just okay and with the added noise caused by the excessive volume.The Godox WMicS1 Pro Kit Wireless Lavalier Microphone System system is not what I really wanted: A wireless system with small lapel mics without cable and a XLR plug on transmitter.It's the old fashioned passing the microphone under the clothes way. But the XLR transmitter is good, has a reasonable menu and allows me to shoot news interviews with an iPhone as the mentioned Godox system is compatible with iPhone ( I tested it and the result was pretty good)Many reporters would feel concerned about a camera person using an iPhone to shoot an interview in the streets, for example. But just hand to them a reporter handheld mic (I have the Sennheiser MD 46) with wireless transmitter and they will feel at home.The reason I am giving four stars instead of five is because the plug-on transmitter doesn't come with a protective holster as you will find in Rode's and Deity's. That protective holster is an essential accessory and Godox, as far as I know, doesn't have one even as an accessory that you can buy separate.I have now two wireless systems compatible with iPhone: Rode filmmaker kit with Rode XLR transmitter and Godox WMicS1 Pro Kit Wireless Lavalier Microphone System with XLR transmitter. It's just a shame that both of them are based on wired lapel mics. I would like to have a system compatible with iPhone and with a decent XLR transmitter (that I have ) and a wireless lapel mic (that I don't have).Unfortunately, that system doesn't exist . Not yet. This because I have no doubt that iPhone is the future of good part of news work in the field. Someone will make that system.

The Godox TX3-XLR is a plug-on wireless transmitter compatible with the WMicS1 wireless system. The lightweight design is comfortable for the talent to hold and can accommodate any handheld or shotgun XLR microphone (available separately). The transmitter can provide 48V phantom power for condenser mics and offers reliable transmission at a range up to 197' line-of-sight. The TX3-XLR operates on two AA batteries and is equipped with an On/Off switch that doubles as a mute button. An easy-to-read backlit OLED screen with adjustable brightness shows the transmitter's frequency, channel/group, input level, muting, and battery life. The system offers 96 manually selectable frequencies to choose from in order to create an interference-free transmission channel for wireless transmission to the RX1 receiver (available separately). The transmitter has two levels of RF transmission power: The high 50mW setting improves signal quality when working at greater distances, while the low 20mW setting offers maximum battery life when working at close range.
