@@dslrvideoshooter I'm totally going to steal this idea with my rode wireless go to watch movies at night with my sony mdr 7506 headphones instead of using a long TRS cable.
I saw some criticism of this idea. They suggested that having the receiver so close to your head was a bad plan because of concerns of radiation. Can anyone speak to this?
Possibly the most comprehensive ‘build’ video you’ve put out - and that’s saying something!!!! You can tell just how many years of evolution has gone into this kit. It’s incredible!!! Such a neat and complete solution. Very impressive stuff.
I work as a Professional Production Sound Mixer and I noticed 2 problems with your audio setup. I understand your setup is not for professionals, but these 2 issues still apply. 1 - Having a wireless boom mic defeats the real reason for having a boom mic. The main reason for having a boom mic is to have a fail safe in case anything goes wrong with wireless mics as they often do. You want to have at least 1 guaranteed audio source to use in case things go south with the wireless sources. I strongly recommend using a wired XLR cable (typically a coiled cable for convenience). There is also an additional bonus with not using the boom as a wireless mic. This now frees up 1 of your wireless transmitters you can now use for an additional lav mic. 2 - If you use a wireless earphone monitoring system you fall prey to additional wireless issues. Additionally, you want your monitoring source to be as flawless as possible so you can identify and troubleshoot any issues you hear with the recording (the whole reason your are monitoring in the first place). This is the main reason Professional Sound Mixers always plug their earphones directly into the mixer/recorder. Since the Sound Mixer is already tethered to the mixer/recorder because of the XLR connected boom (as I outlined in #1 above), monitoring the audio with earphones directly plugged into the mixer/recorder is no problem. Also, the Sound Mixer can properly adjust the recording levels and monitor technical issues directly on the mixer/recorder as they should be doing anyway. If you still want to provide wireless audio listening to other people on the set, you can easily add an IFB system as an output from the mixer/recorder. I love your video series and watch them often. I hope this advice helps. Keep up the great work!
Agree 100% with this. Its nice for things that aren't that important and want/need the convenience of wireless but always have that quality wired backup. But still a pretty rad wireless solution to play with
I agree. I understand having a transmitter to the boom, in the case of having a sound mixer in one place and a boom operator in another. But if there is only one person, it is redundant. In the case of the Wireless headphones, it is overkill for an on bag mixer. It would be cool to use if with a MixPre-3 or 6 and gave the headphones to video village. Boom Mic = straight to bag Deity Transmitter A = Lav Deity Transmitter B = Lav Headphone splitter for headphones. Headphones = Bag Mixer Rode Wireless Go Wireless Headphones = Video Village
I'm with Steve on this one. When it's working properly it seems very convenient but I wouldn't recommend anyone set up their bag in this way. Adding more wireless connections is a recipe for trouble and having a whole system reliant on internal batteries is also dangerous. Sometimes people forget to charge stuff (at least I do) so being able to just buy AA batteries from any store and be up and running is super important to me.
I'm fine with people disregarding my advice. However, they should be aware of the following qualifiers if they choose to record the way you have outlined in the video: - You don't care about the quality of the audio and can live with all the potential issues of wireless recording paired with a wireless monitoring system. - You can live with all the potential issues of not directly monitoring the sound mixer/recorder. - You can deal with just letting the mixer/recorder keep running in 1 long, continuous take. It is not fun to edit a 'Wild Track' and sync with video in post--especially since you are not running timecode (The Mix Pre does not have TC. Plus the cameras would need TC via Lockit Box or another TC brand). Or, you should be willing to run back and forth to the mixer/recorder to start and stop each take. If the mixer/recorder is positioned right next to the camera you are shooting from, then it nullifies the reason to have a wireless boom and wireless earphones. - You are a 1 man band running everything on the shoot (lights, cameras, sound). - You are willing to operate the camera(s) at the same time you are holding the wireless boom. Again, I'm not against recording sound this way as long as everyone understands the potential downsides. :)
@@stevemdguy Thanks for the comment. I do have a question. I am basically doing the video and audio and lighting work for a youtube channel. As such we have a lot of stuff to monitor. The wireless headphones would really free up my actions as I know have to either be tethered to my recorder or trust that it sounds good which has screwed me. So in that situation do you have any recommendations? I got the sense that Caleb was really presenting this set up for people like me that don't have multiple people on set to monitor things.
"hello?" "Hello is this mr. Ortiz?" "yes" "Hi sir, this is your bank. We've just received a RUclips notification for a new DSLR video shooter video, would you like us to freeze your bank account for the next week?" "...yes"
Daaaaamn!!!! This video was awesome. It would have made my life 10x easier. I wish there was a way to get rid of some of that delay, I’m sure there is something out there. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Im loving the wireless headphone mod but not lovin $200 for Rode wireless go for this option. My first thought was Curtis might have a way to do it a bit cheaper....🤞🤞🤞
Caleb is like the Bob Ross of building production setups. Just when you think "no wtf is he doing" he puts it all together and you're like "whoa you f*cking genius"
"This video was not paid for by outside persons or manufacturers. No gear was supplied to me for this video." Yet Deity sent you the wireless system. Not trolling you, just seems like you contradicted yourself. Great video and very insightful. Super setup you have configured!
Nice setup for someone who is a one-man production crew without a dedicated audio mixer. I'm hesitant to be completely wireless due to the inherent issues with wireless audio, specifically interference. Great video as always!
For people looking to build their audio kit, please please do not plug your headphones into a rode wireless. 1) You're going to look like an amateur on set and 2) you're adding more troubleshooting headache if you start to hear rf noise/interference (is it the notoriously bad Rode Go or is it the Deity?). Also, the boom mic is the wireless fail safe. You mentioned something about "now I don't even need the bag, I can just walk away with my wireless boom pole to monitor audio". The whole point of the bag is to allow you to be mobile. And if you have a bag that lets you be mobile, then you should be using an xlr cable with that boom mic as a wireless failsafe. Just seems like an easy way to post your affiliate link to a product even if it's such a bad idea to use that device in the way shown in this video.
Sir, this is probably the most practical and beneficial video you have ever made! It would be a fun 'challenge' on your channel to follow up with a "poor man's" version of this same setup using "dirt-poor" alternatives to all the elements and see how low the price could go before it becomes junk.
yeah dude this rocks. i actually used a bluetooth setup for monitoring and yes there is delay but i only use it if i need to move but yeah i use earbuds that are bluetooth and headphones plugged in. making the boom wireless is a little shaky for me as i've tried that with a sennheiser wireless pack and it was flawless, but... if it's a paid gig i'm going wired and manning up keeping the audio bag on me at all times. but yeah i love your setup for fun projects.
So what battery pack are you using to power the MixPre-3? All you have linked is a general landing page for mobile battery banks, I want to see what can last "weeks and weeks" because I need that lol
randomfrankp I used a RAVpower model. Any of those big boy USB batteries will work great. I rotate 22000mAh batteries every few weeks. Side note, love you vids man! Huge keyboard dork so I’m loving your stuff!
@@randomfrankp Make sure any battery brick you get is capable of USB-C power output. MixPre3 may not power up in full power mode on USB-A style batteries even with a dual USB-A to USB- Cable. On reduced power mode, MixPre3 will only phantom power 2 of the 3 XLR connections. Most battery bricks now can be found with USB-C PD connections.
Have to agree it's a pretty clean set up, but I've been in too many situations where wired mics saved a shoot or event. Just too much RF wandering around to take a chance on wireless alone. Like the charging arrangement. Pretty slick.
Another great video Caleb! I love all the frugal/DIY mods too. It's worth knowing for all Brits out there (Hi from England) that in the UK, don't know about the States, if you are to use a UHF transmitter (*not* 2.4GHz type), you must require a licence from OFCOM, which is most annoying as well as expensive. This point about licencing doesn't get aired very much in many videos about audio on RUclips, but I thought it should be mentioned.
A very simplified version of this would be with the Saramonic SR-VRM1 and a microphone, preferably an xlr mic. It provides phantom power so no issues there and the sound floor test for noise seems to be quite decent especially for the price. Of course you won't be able to monitor the audio unless youre standing close to the microphone since you plug the recorder straight to the mic but it reduces the point of failures drastically and makes alot of sense for people on a budget trying to get into professional setups
It is a great design exercise, and everyone can pick any idea they like from it. Similar to a concept-car, in a way... Your USB power-hub is a goal of mine too, and I hope I can come up with a small enough system, with lots of running time, thanks to that. Very helpful, thank you so much !
AMAZING!!!!! I need to know how you did the wireless headphones! I am currently using the sennheiser GH4 labs and a zoom h6n, having an audio bag and headphones would be so helpful!
Two things, I was going to get a pole with the XLR in it and I was told by an old OP to never get internal cable as it always breaks when you are the biggest paid set of your life. lol I do a Sony XLR wireless adapter on my Shotgun or the Rode Go then that goes to the bag and it works very well. Just my two cents. I really want to do the wireless headset but I have reservations about the batteries on the Rode go'es for 12hr shoots on top of break up and pops as I use Rode Go's as I said before as a quick shotgun setup or I use to send a scratch track to cameras on set.
So many brilliant ideas in this bag! You've really pushed the envelope on this one CALEBBBB - I'm not up to Sound Devices budget just yet, but my H6 is dying some some Diety Mics to fill it up with some quality audio..... Great vid brotha
Simply amazing Caleb! And of course you solved your own problem with a quick charging setup without breaking everything down💪 Can’t wait for the next video!
Some clarification around the USB power may be warranted. Plugging multiple receivers or the audio recorder into the same battery brick will result in feedback noise. I think Caleb you are using the USB for charging only and not power distribution while recording. I have a MixPre-3 Mark ii that I have fit into an Orca OR-27 and have 3 wireless receivers total that I can feed into the MP3, but typically am going to be hard wiring my boom pole in. I can bring in boom pole in wirelessly with the third wireless receiver. I have one battery brick powering the Mix pre 3 and a second battery brick powering one of the wireless receivers. I can't plug in a second or third wireless receiver into any of the bricks if they are already powering something, without getting bad feedback. Just finished listening to a live stream with Curtis Judd and he recommends a Power distribution system that employs filtering to avoid any feedback issues.
The RodeLink plug-on transmitter it fairly quiet, and supplies Phantom power for professional shotguns. It also has it's own Headphone jack, so you could send someone out without a bag and they can still hear what they are booming.
Thanks for all the great ideas. I currently don’t own any of the Deity hardware but I have some alternates I going to use instead. Thanks for the new project.
Good find on the Rode Wireless Go Caleb and Aaron. The only thing I'd note is it is only a mono setup as opposed to a dedicated wireless headphones. Shouldn't matter for filming applications though provided both channels are mixed centre on the headphone socket. I have the mix-pre 6 - great mixer/recorder - very versatile.
If you want the best of both worlds (wireless, and a bulletproof signal), I would go with a Zaxcom setup as you get the recording at the transmitter as well. High cost, but a professional solution for critical applications.
The charging system that you've implemented is that perfect icing on the cake for me. Everything about this kit is freakin awesome!!! Thanks for another great video! I do have a question... How well would this kit work for a wedding where you have to mic up the bride, groom, officiant?
Wow I was very impressed with the quality of this video and the setup. The quality and issues of full wireless does bother me though. Quality wise and reliability wise. 19 mill delay is more than you would think. Either way I love binging your channel vids!!!
Hey, this has become one of my favorite channels for cleverness. You do very nice presentations with innovative solutions. Great work. With this setup, I found one stumbling block for gear. I have a Rode NTG-3 shotgun mic for my boom setup. How do I provide it with phantom power? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Keep up the great work. And thanks for sharing the knowledge.
It’s great - but wireless can fail so I’d need a small recorder (Tascam?) on the boom wired directly to the mike. Note: the plug-on wireless transmitter from the Rode news shooter kit has an audio out ( headphone ) jack in it that could be used for wired backup recording and monitoring - that way you’re covered in case of wireless failure.
This is great! Would you be able to document how you nodded your headphones? I found some 3.5mm jacks already on Amazon and would love to do this to my own Sony monitor headphones. Thanks!
If you are a sound recordist with the bag on straps what is the benefit of a wireless boom? If you are sending sound to camera, then yup get it. But what are you gaining when in use you are holding the pole and wearing the bag?
The "cyberman-headphones-look" is something I am very familiar with. I have a pair of Bang&Olufson H6 and I just 3M taped a bluetooth receiver to them. Best thing about it: the H6 has TWO 3.5mm ports, so I don't even need to unplug the receiver when using them cabled. :P Looks ridiculous but works great.
I just got 4 RØDE Wireless GO’s today and I was planning on doing exactly the same thing with my headphones for monitoring as well (provided I’m not recording 4 people simultaneously). It’s a great idea.
Can you show how to do this with a rode go, and tascam DR-10L? Seems like I would just need the boom pole, longer cable, and something to hold the recorder in place. That would be a lot cheaper and still wireless. I don’t like wireless lavs, I tend to get interference with those.

Just finished listening to a live stream with Curtis Judd and he recommends a Power distribution system that employs filtering to avoid any feedback issues.
🤯 Mind blown!
You've done it again!

The RodeLink plug-on transmitter it fairly quiet, and supplies Phantom power for professional shotguns. It also has it's own Headphone jack, so you could send someone out without a bag and they can still hear what they are booming.
Great point!
It's about time you went with an all wireless audio set up.
my goodness this is genius 👏👏👏👏 11:01
Thanks for all the great ideas. I currently don’t own any of the Deity hardware but I have some alternates I going to use instead. Thanks for the new project.
Excellent Caleb! You really did it this time! Awesome Solution!
Good find on the Rode Wireless Go Caleb and Aaron. The only thing I'd note is it is only a mono setup as opposed to a dedicated wireless headphones. Shouldn't matter for filming applications though provided both channels are mixed centre on the headphone socket. I have the mix-pre 6 - great mixer/recorder - very versatile.
Impressed, and the Borg look is priceless 😉
Another Caleb MacGyver special! Great setup.
You are a very dangerous man, Caleb 😂
I love the attention to detail.
If you want the best of both worlds (wireless, and a bulletproof signal), I would go with a Zaxcom setup as you get the recording at the transmitter as well. High cost, but a professional solution for critical applications.
Yeah I need to do this FOR SURE
This is the very kind of audio setup I've been looking for.
Love your minimal gear setup.
You can tell you have put a lot of time and planning into this, awesome setup Caleb!
Such an awesome video. This is a solution to a problem I never knew existed.
What an amazing setup! I really hope technology keeps improving and make this possible at a lower price.
The charging system that you've implemented is that perfect icing on the cake for me. Everything about this kit is freakin awesome!!! Thanks for another great video! I do have a question... How well would this kit work for a wedding where you have to mic up the bride, groom, officiant?
Thank you! You could get crazy and get a second deity connect kit and bam! 4 wireless mics for under $1500!
Wow... That's awesome. Enjoy watching your gear setups ☺️🙏🏻
Thanks man!
Wow I was very impressed with the quality of this video and the setup. The quality and issues of full wireless does bother me though. Quality wise and reliability wise. 19 mill delay is more than you would think. Either way I love binging your channel vids!!!
Hey, this has become one of my favorite channels for cleverness. You do very nice presentations with innovative solutions. Great work.
With this setup, I found one stumbling block for gear. I have a Rode NTG-3 shotgun mic for my boom setup. How do I provide it with phantom power? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Keep up the great work. And thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Wow, awesome set up, love the mod to the headphones and using the Rode go (which I love)!!! Thank you for these ideas, what a helpful setup!!!!
It’s great - but wireless can fail so I’d need a small recorder (Tascam?) on the boom wired directly to the mike. Note: the plug-on wireless transmitter from the Rode news shooter kit has an audio out ( headphone ) jack in it that could be used for wired backup recording and monitoring - that way you’re covered in case of wireless failure.
This is great! Would you be able to document how you nodded your headphones? I found some 3.5mm jacks already on Amazon and would love to do this to my own Sony monitor headphones. Thanks!
If you are a sound recordist with the bag on straps what is the benefit of a wireless boom? If you are sending sound to camera, then yup get it. But what are you gaining when in use you are holding the pole and wearing the bag?
The "cyberman-headphones-look" is something I am very familiar with. I have a pair of Bang&Olufson H6 and I just 3M taped a bluetooth receiver to them. Best thing about it: the H6 has TWO 3.5mm ports, so I don't even need to unplug the receiver when using them cabled. :P Looks ridiculous but works great.
I just got 4 RØDE Wireless GO’s today and I was planning on doing exactly the same thing with my headphones for monitoring as well (provided I’m not recording 4 people simultaneously). It’s a great idea.
How did that work out for you? I've been looking for a boompole set up with the rode but I see nothing
MAGNIFICENT! Crazy Cool - Love it - WooHoo!
Brilliant job Caleb, well done!
2:48 „Pick this thing up and hit the Rode“ ... hidden message 🤫
Literally LOL’d at Thanos. Completely unexpected and very much appreciated.
😉 Glad you got a kick out of it!
Outstanding! Absolutely love this idea. Audio is always the pain.
Well done sir. For now I’ll roll with punches and use my wired lavs, until I can save up and get the deity.
Can you show how to do this with a rode go, and tascam DR-10L? Seems like I would just need the boom pole, longer cable, and something to hold the recorder in place. That would be a lot cheaper and still wireless. I don’t like wireless lavs, I tend to get interference with those.
A more budget friendly version would be lots of fun! Stay tuned...
@@dslrvideoshooter Still planning that for any time soon? I'm so looking forward to it!
You need a xlr with 90° angled for that boom
Got one but need to rewire it... Low profile too 😍
He hasn't discovered those yet...
