Could This $40 Wireless Microphone Actually Work for Your Film and Video Projects?

Audio isn’t always everyone’s top concern, we know that. But just because audio recording often falls to the wayside doesn’t mean it isn’t important. However, despite not often receiving enough focus, it’s pretty simple to capture properly when you have the right tools.

Godox has introduced the Alink, a new wireless microphone system that offers universal compatibility, direct digital audio for Canon and Sony cameras with hotshoe ports, and mono and stereo modes, among many other basic audio recording features.

With one transmitter packages starting at under $40, this is truly one of the most affordable wireless audio options for filmmakers and video pros. But can it actually fit the bill? Let’s take a look.

Godox Alink Wireless Microphone System

From Godox’s product marketing, the goal is to provide creators who need flexibility with an affordable wireless mic that doesn’t compromise quality. And, from the looks of it, that appears to be what the Alink offers.

Set to feature dual transmitters, mono and stereo modes, and direct digital audio via Sony or Canon hot shoes, the Godox Alink appears quite versatile and fits its “one mic, fits all” promise.

Along with the features above, the Alink will provide 10-level denoise controls, 300m transmission capabilities, auto-limiting and anti-clipping technology, and a host of other features that are all kinds of expected for microphones these days.

Price and Availability

What makes the Godox Alink so unique, though, is its small size, low weight, and price point. The Alink weighs only 6g but offers 30 hours of battery life. Users can also get instant playback using the Godox app, or it can also plug-and-play with your Type-C smartphones, computers, and action cameras.
