Is this the smallest wireless mic I’ve ever seen? Honestly… yes. In this video I test the Godox Magic XT1 and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s tiny—but the big surprise is how good it sounds. What you hear in the intro is straight from the mic with no treatment, then I switch to my usual audio processing so you can hear how much you can push it in post. The main takeaway: it sounds “absolutely amazing” and because it’s so light, it doesn’t tug on your top or scream “I’m wearing a mic,” which is exactly what I’m always trying to avoid on real shoots. I also put the range to the test. It’s rated at 200m line-of-sight, but I’m more interested in realistic distances, plus what happens when you’re not in perfect conditions. I walk behind obstacles and even jump inside my truck (which is notorious for blocking signals) and you can still hear me—so for real-world filming, it holds up. Then I break down the design and specs: touchscreen receiver, 48kHz/24-bit, mono/stereo plus a -6dB safety track, headphone monitoring, and a clever compact case with loads of cables and accessories. I compare it to the DJI Mic 2, call out what’s missing (lav input and 32-bit float), and then the killer point: it’s about £102—roughly a third of the DJI price—so for me, it’s a proper game changer.
