Gear is awesome but using that gear to make better videos is even better. Learn how to craft interesting stories and grow your audience to watch them: geni.us/CreatorFilmSchool
Why is it that the sound from the internal microphone of the Go 2 is better than when the sound is connected to the camera? For example, when I use merged mode + db-6 + audio mic 1. When I speak louder the audio from connecting to the camera sounds too high, but when I hear the sound from the internal backup transmitter the sound is good and not peaking. Please explain and provide a solution 🙏
@jevendovey which cable do I need to purchase for use with the usb-c on my Samsung phone?
Thank you. Just got one. One TX for personal tutorials and mic-handle interviews. This was very helpful. I think I can even connect the TX to a rodecaster without the receiver if I'm not mistaken. Do you know anything about that? I have a RØdecaster Pro II and I figured the best place to test my gain settings before going off on a shoot would be right at my rodecaster with my headphones on. But I was curious if it's tough to connect.
This is all the information that RODE should have included in the box. They should be paying you for this. SO HELPFUL!
Agree! Make sure to tell Rode's that, I have, and if enough of us do they may improve.
👍 Agreed
Bruh it’s sad that you buy this item and you have to go to RUclips to watch how to set them up .. there’s no instructions or nothing that helps in the actual box
Yes it's true
I agree, it should be standard for companies to pay creators for videos like this. It is more helpful than written directions by a long shot.
Im not even finished watching your video and this might be the best tutorial I have ever watched. I am a photographer and a videographer and I have watched a TON. From your clear visuals to your expert explanations of the gear, this was an OUTSTANDING review. Thank you!
Agreed
I just bought a Rode Wireless Go II and i've now got a brilliant understanding of how to use it. One of the best video guides i've seen, keep them coming.
Hi Peter. How are you getting on with the Rode Wireless Go II? I was about to buy the first version of the Go, but opted for the Go II at the last minute. It arrives in a couple of days. I want to wear the mic under clothing - have you tried this? Any tips for minimising rustling? I'm hoping a dead cat will be enough.
I find it excellent. I use a lav mic but wear it on the outside of my clothes. I use a dead cat and its only very very windy conditions that have an effect in terms of wind noise. Ive heard lots of negatives about this mic but I find it to be flawless - so far.
@@petercorbett1610 Okay thanks for that. I'm hoping it might be possible to keep the mic fully hidden under clothing, without going for a lav mic, but I suppose only testing can tell me what will and won't work.

I can hear tons of background noise on my Rode Wireless 2, my apartment is entirely silent except for a little noise from my refrigerator and I have the camera audio very low and the gain on the microphone at -27 DB and i can still hear the background noise from the fridge VERY clearly. The audio sounds awful considering this cost me $260
28:30 Adjust levels on the rode, but monitor on the camera. This detail is huge. Thank you for making this video! If you do shorts, this would be a good one.
Very helpful in-depth video, thanks man!
Very helpful, thank you!!
Your video is really a lifesaver for someone like me who has close to zero idea of how microphones and audio recording actually work. Excellent demonstration and explanation!
Long, but well worth the watch if you own these microphones!! Thank you for taking the time to explain the use, various settings, and workflow for one- and two-person recording sessions. I'm just getting mine set up. I've learned that -18db is too low to record. I'll put these up to -6db and do another test. I'm recording a drag car on Sunday (1,100hp) and I'm concerned about the audio blowing out. I'll be sure to dial down the gain to -18db when he fires up the engine. Thank you Jeven - terrific tutorial. All the best, Cheers Rick
PS - I liked your example of exercise trainers getting excited - that worked for me. Often I'll film next to a highway, and I'm yelling to be heard over the traffic. In those situations--like yours--I have to turn down the gain so my audio doesn't "blow out."
I just bought the Rode Wireless Go 2 today and I am so happy I came accross your video and your amazing tutorial. This is probably one of the best tutorials that I have seen on RUclips. You are very thorough with tour explanation and it helped me a lot. I was actually kind of upset when I bought it for my content production because I have heard great things about the product but I had no idea how it worked or how to use it. If it was not for your video I would have been so lost. Please continue to make great tutorials like this, were we can all benefit from. You are amazing 🙏
Couldn't be a more professional, thorough, just absolutely well-done video.
Oh my god! i can’t thank you enough.. 13:47
Was legit doing this one simple mistake.. of using headphone input and not the audio input..
I almost requested a refund from the buyer because i thought its a fault in the mic..
searched so many videos and the checked the official website too.. nothing worked bit your video!! thank you so so much❤
God bless you, man. After spending 8 seconds on the RODE instruction sheet and learning nothing, I spent most of the day learning everything there is to know about this powerful device - thanks to you. I'm not sure how anyone could use these mics correctly without watching your instructional video. Well done, and thank you.
Your guide was superbly clear, detailed and very well structured with topics introduced and later involving deep dives. I owned the first model and now have the Mark II and you highlighted things that I never knew were possible. Thank you.
Watched this in 2023 and man...unbelievable tutorial. I just became an audio expert :D
This was clear and well presented, thanks 👍
very good.. understood everything! i live in brazil!
This was incredibly clear and thorough. Thank you for putting in the time on this. It helped me a lot.
Agree 100%
And if I wanted to have a stereo output, what would you suggest?
Yes. I too am very appreciative.
I can hear tons of background noise on my Rode Wireless 2, my apartment is entirely silent except for a little noise from my refrigerator and I have the camera audio very low and the gain on the microphone at -27 DB and i can still hear the background noise from the fridge VERY clearly. The audio sounds awful considering this cost me $260
I agree, thanks!
very good guide
Great video bro. Thanks
ayo its you the indian pewdiepie
Very helpful video! Thanks Jeven! One thing I want to mention for anyone that sees this comment is that my units came with a much older firmware, so I was trying to follow along and things weren't the same as what I was seeing on this video. Eventually we got to the part about Rode Central and I downloaded that and plugged in and it prompted to me to update to a new firmware, even newer than what was being used at the time ofmaking this video. Well... that made it work like what Jeven was describing. So if you are getting a different looking screen and things arent working, try the Rode Central first and update the firmware if needed. Cheers!
This is an insanely good tutorial. As someone who use the RWG II for the odd job here and there, I need a refresher each time. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Probably the most clear and comprehensive guide on Rode Go 2 on RUclips. Thank you!
The thing that convinced me to sell my Wireless GO I and get the II is the USB-C connectivity to my MacBook Pro and to my iPhone with the SC-15 cable. Great video! Super detailed
I just got a Rode Wireless Go II a few days ago to use with a GoPro and this tutorial made it really easy to understand how to use it. This is by far one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
This has been the best guide video ever. Very user friendly and extremely concise
This is by far the most informative available guide for this device. Kudos!
Your videos are the best Jeven. Thank you so much! Im learning a bunch about these mics, but Im also learning how to make good videos by simply watching yours and learning from your style. You explain why we should watch, then clearly break down the components and explain what were going to get out of it. Its so good man!
Ah man. How timely! I just bought them and have an upcoming shoot - you just made my life a little easier Jeven. Thanks so much.
Excellent tutorial 👌
Thanks I needed to know about the split/merge mode
That info saved me
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!! I've been solo freelancing for almost ten years and still learnt so much here. Not just about the RODE wireless Mic but about audio recording! Well done.
That was brilliant. Thanks for taking the time to put this comprehensive guide together. Setting up my Wireless Go II system now and that was invaluable.
I actually have two sets of these. A serious game changer and an incredibly reliable and useful tool. This video is epic! I feel like I’m stealing it by watching for free!
Could you set four of the transmitters to one camera?
Your channel features some of the highest quality tutorials I've seen. Your pace is easy to follow, you speak clearly and in terms that are easy to understand, you don't assume that the viewer knows anything and don't leave details to the imagination, you even create scenarios that the user will encounter to help us understand why a feature is useful and what for etc.
If someone can't figure out _exactly_ how to operate something after watching one of your tutorials, I honestly don't know if they'll ever get it lol.
I must've watched at least 50+ Trainings on the Rode Wireless Go2 - and Not Only is this the ABSOLUTE BEST Training, delivered in a short, succinct format - I believe this Training will help ANY newbie dealing with cameras and mic's to get a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the Audio-variables involved in a camera/mic setup.
This should be made mandatory in every Creative University, the Understanding of the Basic Principles is so deep, with so much clarity!!
Thanks a MILLION, Jeven - You Rock!!
Holy shmokes, that was the best tutorial I've ever come across! Well done, thank you very much indeed. I think Røde should ship this with every Wireless Go II they sell. On a video tape or something. So they can ignore printing the most incomprehensive and stupid manual of theirs. Saves trees. But they then need bigger boxes.
I hope Rode paid you handsomely for being their human instruction manual. If they didn’t, they should!
Watching this video gave me everything that I needed and more, to use my newly purchased Rode II. Much more helpful than the information, or rather the lack of, that came with the units. Well done sir and thank you!
I know this video is a year old, but many still watch it. Two things:
1. Rode updated so that you can batch export backup files from Rode Central app. Life is way better.
2. The transmitter CONTINUES to record even after receiver is turned off. Not sure if that new, but I verified that today. I recorded to H6, let a dialogue going while I turned off the H6, unplugged the Rode receiver and then powered it off. I then continued talking for awhile to see. When I plugged the transmitter into Rode Central, all of the dialogue was there, even after the receiver was powered off.
Having just bought the GoII your video was priceless. There is no mention in packaging about the software and generally the information with the device is lacking. I have recommended to Rode that you be compensated for providing a superior user engagement. Great stuff - thank you so much
Thank you for explaining every single detail...I watched other videos, but I couldn't tell what I was doing wrong until I watched your video. Something soooooo simple! Such as not plugging the cable into the headphones input! LOL The truth is that there are a lot of beginners like me who may benefit from your video! Thank you amigo 😃👍
Just received my Rode Wireless GO 2. I'm now half-way into this tutorial and I got to say that you give the best advice. You've saved me from multiple disasters already!
Thank you so much for your effort. I've just bought the Rode 2 last week and watched your clip to learn all the basics.
I’ve just bought a Go 2 for my GoPro 9 and the information you have given has been invaluable. Thank you so much for the stepped guide, it’ll make a huge difference when I eventually start to use the Rode. Keep up the great work….. and obviously I’ve subscribed. 👍👍👍
A great overview and plenty of detail. I just bought the Rode Go 2 so a massive thanks for getting me up to speed.
Thank you so much for this super in depth breakdown man. I'm a rookie here and have a great documentary i'm trying to work on and just got these to record the audio. This helped me so so much man. I'm really greatful.
Tough doing it all on your own with just your middle America budget, but I got these and a gimble so it's getting there!
If anyone is ever interested, i'm working on something i'm proud of... weight loss journey and sustainability, including all the ups and downs because there are plenty of both.
Well done, Jeven! Thank you. This was 48 minutes well spent. Concise and easy to follow. I've downloaded this video for future reference. 🤩👍🏾
Absolutely the best review and step-by-step walk through on this product, and I've watched a few of them. Thank you!
Thank you so much for creating this video! I'm a creator that FINALLY bought their first Mic. I'm not tech savvy and this video is so clear and helpful. Made figuring this out so much easier. Thank you!
What a fantastic video! You explained stuff simply and without it sounding condescending. This would have taken a lot of your time and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated it. Cheers.
2 years later and your still helping people lol. Honestly, for over a week now I couldn't figure out what the H was going on! You're the only one who's explained it to me. Thank you!! Off to get off get adaptors in the morning 😅
WoW! Now I get it. Thank you Jeven for helping the Cinematic/photo/Video/Drone community. Keep on the good and hard work!
This was just what I needed. Bought t Rode Wireless GO II and had no idea how to get started using it with my Samsung Galaxy S20 Note Ultra. Now, I'm ready to start using the system. Can't wait to get started! Thanks for creating this! I will save it for future reference, if I need to refresh my memory, as time goes on.
Thanks for the best review on this mic system. I'm buying it and hoping it will improve my recordings a bit, but more importantly my efficiency.
Such a great in-depth guide to these mics, can't thank you enough. It's been such a great help and helped me learn so much about these mics.
This is by far the best guide to using Rode wireless Go II. Crisp and well presented. Great work. Cheers!!
The depth of information covered in this video is truly impressive. It’s evident that a lot of effort went into creating such an informative and detailed piece.
Thank you very much for all the effort in creating this tutorial 🙌. You explained every point in a very detailed and neat way, it's exactly what I needed to start using my Rode Wireless Go II 💪
Thank you Jeven, this presentation was excellent. I have had the Rode for ages, finally I know how to use it. All of this should have been provided by Rode.
Subscribed coz you save my time and money both
Thank you for this thoughtful walkthrough! Learning about turning down the audio level on the camera was super helpful to get rid of the noise floor I had. 🙌
Purchased this a while back but was a little confused about the levels on my A7siii and on the mics. Thought I'd have to go far and wide to get the answer but this video just showed me how to easily plus more. 👊🏼 TY!!
Thank you so much for this! Just bought the Rode Wireless Go II and this has video has been a lifesaver. I tried to watch the shorter videos on the microphones, but sometimes you have to have step by step explanation. Honestly it didn’t feel like 47 minutes
I could not agree more with some prior comments! This is an excellent, detailed presentation. Clear, complete, and easy to follow and listen to. Thank you.
So good. I just opened the box and your tutorial was thorough and logical and simple. THANK YOU!
I've had these for about 3 months and have loved them. They've been flawless.
This is the first time I watch a equipment video for so long! It's really clear and detailed instruction for the wireless go ii!
Thanks for this detailed video it was helpful!
I am only half way through and already SUPER STOKED that you made this video.. I am just starting out and saw RODE in a creator's video. I am brand new to this stuff and so far, its been great. I will have to watch this video a few more times.. but since I am halfway through and it's time to get ready for work.... I will come back and finish this later!!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!
This is the best tutorial I have ever watched. I have a RODE mic for more than 2 years. I just understood how to use it well. Thank you!
My mics arrived today. Watched the whole video before unboxing. You, sir, have put together an exceptionally helpful video, thank you so much!
Very instructional, concise and no BS! Thanks.
Fantastic Tutorial!! I just got mine last week and the little manual it comes with is very very limited. So this is super helpful!!
You answer every question and give simple but detailed explanations. THANK YOU!
I had just gotten the new RodeGo2 for a shoot the very next day, and while stressing over my lack of using the new system and its features, I stumbled on this video!! After watching long enough to understand them a bit, I had to pause the video so I could “process my happiness”!!! My wife’s been laughing at that statement ever since!
Thanks for a great tutorial my friend! 😆
This was Outstanding! I really appreciate you putting this together. I film outside all the time on my channel and just upgraded to this system to get better audio quality. The issue I had was the instructions included were terrible. This tutorial was amazingly informative and clear. Thanks again. Take Care!
This is the only video to watch when it comes to the Wireless Go 2. Split vs merged mode had some questions answered that I was looking for. Thank you
Thank you for this awesome Tutorial on the Rode GO Wireless 2 set up and operation. Way’Ta’Go !! I’m looking forward to trying these out and wanted to be thoroughly trained and ready, so I watched your video and am impressed with both GO and your presentation. I currently use Sennheisers G Series professional units and love the size and ease of use of these. I do want the “fine” gain setting and will use the “backup” mode recording. I don’t however, like that the backup removal process requires use of my Mac, as I’m not good on some small details like that on occasion, but guess this will just have to be another step. Too bad I can’t just hit a couple buttons on the Tx and it automatically erases the recordings with a “accept” step in the process to be sure. Thanks again and will try to report back how my first use went with the units.
Thank you for this very thorough break down. Honestly this mic setup is on the expensive side for me, so I was on the fence about purchasing. This video convinced me 👍🏽
This has been incredibly helpful dude! I just got the Wireless GO II and thought that it would be so much more intuitive and plug and play… Filmed some content for Instagram with it today and when I brought my footage into FCPX, I discovered that it was shot in stereo and only in the left side. Needless to say, I came straight to YT and found this and am so glad that I did! Thanks for all your content Jeven!
Thank you very much for this as I just invested in this product and have a big three day medical conference that I will be recording. You just answered all my questions with making sure I have an adequate audio set up utilizing my camera and other devices. You just got yourself a new subscriber and looking into your there videos.
I think this might be the best how-to video for the Rode Go II - and you're really easy to listen to - great voice!! I've also used this with my computer for Zoom classes and the quality is really great - as long as your classes don't last too long!
Well edited video. Thank you. I bought the RODE last year as my first lapel style mic. I had no idea there were deeper settings.
This video is the ultimate way to learn how to use these mics!
the most thorough and concise tutorial for Rode GO2 ever!
Used my wireless go 2 twice in the last year because both times I had audio errors and both were weddings.. after this video I’m brushing the dust off them and going to give them another shot. Appreciate the effort put into this video.
Virtually perfect for my use case. I’ve been using the First single transmitter unit for a while but doing more and more double headers so have ordered these.
Great guide, thanks so much! 👍🕹️
One of the most detailed setup videos I've ever watched. Thank you very much for your efforts.
One of the best videos. People like you make platforms like these so valuable. Thank you for putting so much value into this.
The best explanation I have found about this amazing system. Thanks so much!!!
Absolutely brilliant and clear presentation! Thank you Jeven.
Dude you always have the best version of things I’m looking for. Grateful for your channel sir.
Wow, Jeven! I'm at a loss for words to thank you for this video. The clarity and comprehensiveness with which you've explained each function of the Rode Wireless Go II is simply outstanding. As someone who is just starting out and feeling a bit overwhelmed by this topic, your video is exactly what I needed. I greatly appreciate the effort and dedication you've put into every detail, and the way you break down the workflow and the use of Rode Central is invaluable. Thank you for this impeccable work that is truly priceless!
Thank you so much! I used this Rode Go II system on my kids TV show (at the last minute substitution) and your instruction has been massively helpful! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! I bought this mic and straight out of the box I couldn’t get it working. Thank you for being thorough, if it wasn’t for this video… I was going to return the mics. You’re a life saver ‼️
This was such a great watch. I just picked up these mics and this gave me exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Your channel rocks!
Thank you so much for giving such a comprehensive tutorial! Very well explained and even beyond!
DUDE! this video is just amazing! I just watched the whole thing and it will help me a lot with my wireless go II! THANK YOU!
Literally better than any Rode video. Thanks man.
Thank you! 🙏
Dude, I'm a new you tuber that just got monetized and I just got the rode and OMG. You are totally awsome! I hope you read this and I want you to know your my go to guy! Thank you so much. I hope for your continued success!
