Blink 500 B2 - Perfection!
Saramonic Blink 500 Pro B2 2-Person Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System (2.4 GHz, Black)

This is great! The size the packaging and innovative. No longer do you have to have multiple chargers and multiple cables on the counter to connect. Place them in the box and they charge. Connect a single charger and cable to the box and everything charges. They are small and easy to conceal, The clip fits into a hot shoe. Frankly they are perfect! I simply cannot come up with something to improve. If I dig deep, maybe the ability to add additional transmitters / receivers into an integrated system.
Wow!

I have rode Live. I always had problem with recording interviews on a camera with 2 persons. But this product is amazing. Nice and clear sound. The lav could have been a little smaller. But I can use my rode one. With adapter, bought separately, I use it with IPhone. I love it. It is so nice and small. And the case keeps it all together and also charges all 3 devices at the same time.
Easy setup, good sound, 100% success so far!

While the sound isn't perfect, the setup is easy and they batteries last about 5 hours. Perfect for my application. For small Zoom meetings with a local live audience, the receiver plugs into a phone or tablet (we've tested Android and iOS with100% success) the presenter wears one Lavalier and we put the other one on the optional Handheld adapter to pass to participants in the audience. For larger groups we plug the receiver into a mixer. With two presenters, they both wear the Lavaliers and we use a separate wireless mic system for audience participation.
Simply Perfect.

The simplest, most straightforward, quality gear I've bought in some time. I plugged the whole case into an outlet to charge everything, then plugged the receiver into my camera's 3.5 jack with included cord, clipped the lav and transmitter onto my wife, hit the power buttons and BAM. No need to sync, navigate menus or read the manual. Simple. And the results are perfect for my Youtube video creation needs.
Great Set of Wireless Gadgets

I have been hoping for a reasonably cost 2 wireless transmitter to one receiver for a while now. This is the one you want. I agree with one reviewer that the power cables and extra Lavalieres should be able to be carried in the box, but that's not a reason to buy something else. This is an excellent set.

Defective unit, waste of time!

Reviewed by Keven on B&H Photo Video
I received the unit, everything seemed well built ! I was actually impressed until I started to charge the unit... After a few hours I tried to pair them together, the TX were searching for a signal but would never connect to the RX. One time out of 2, a TX would also shut down during the pairing process. ( And yes all the batteries were full ). Sent them back for a refund, maybe I was just unlucky but I can't afford to get these type of issues right before a shoot.
Very smart system, extraordinary value

Remember how expensive and clunky the UHF systems were 15 years ago? This is not that. The charging case is absolutely brilliant, if likely unnecessary because these little guys have a charge that lasts forever. Sound is clear and clean. Wish I could find a cable to dual male mini-XLR's. It would be more useful if the displays offered a real VU meter instead of a goofy waveform that only tells you it's hearing something.
Better than the rode wireless?

I love the ease to use and how great the audio comes out of box. The included lav mics and holding case it what made me get this over the rode. I know dji just came out with one too and maybe if it had been out already I might have got the dji but at the same time glad I got this one instead.
Good, untill it stops working.

I used it for about once a month for about a year, and it was great. Then the screen in the transmitter went out. Because it was over a year, B&H could not help me return or exchange it. And even with "2 year warranty " from Saramonic, I never heard back from then. After a year of minimum use, it was money wasted. I bought a different system (another manufacturer) also from B&H. It is working great.
Dropout nightmare

Reviewed by William on B&H Photo Video
I've had these for about two years now. Indoors with little interference they're great, but when you get outside they're beyond unusable. Even if it's close distance like 3ft. The dropout is is just too horrible to trust with any kind of content.
Works great right out of the box!

I am using these microphones with OBS Studio software to produce YouTube videos. The setup of the microphones was very intuitive and easy and the OBS software recognized them immediately. The sound quality is quite good and exceeds that of my pair of $800 matched corded microphones.
Budget lav mic that's feature packed

Amazing lav mic set for the price as we all know. But one thing that we did npt expect is the convenience of having 2 transmitters and a receiver in a neat little charging box. We find ourselves use these set way more than our Sennheiser set now. Convenient, easy to use, as audio quality just as good. Highly recommended.
Just fantastic

I love this box. It keeps the devices in charge. Operation is very easy. In sereo I wished one could select that one mic is on left the other on right channel. The only selection is mono or stereo. But that doesn't minimize my score. Some mounting options would be cool as well. Currently velcro is the way to hold it in position.
Just what I needed

So glad I called B&H. This was eactly the right soultion for my current needs. I am a personal trainer and work with cleints over Zoom. It makes the session go much more smoothly not having to get closer for the client to hear me and then run back to be in frame to demonstrate a move. Resonably priced and amazing sound!

This lav system is perfect for me! I shoot video where I have to stand away from the microphones so my sound was not great. This was the perfect solution. All the pairing went fine and it's quite simple to use. Love it.

I have tested alot of Lavalier systems, but having 2 lavalier mics that transmit to one receiver on top of your camera is a game changer. It allows you to have such versatility in your filmmaking. For 2 character scenes, to interviews. You can do alot. Great buy.
Dead on arrival

Unit seems great. I like the controls, good signal, etc. Unfortunately, one of the transmitters was dead on arrival. I'll be returning and likely getting the Rode system instead. I have the older Saramonic Vmic Link5 system and It's been great, but maybe they cut too many corners here.
