Thank you for this video! For the convenience of listening to the audio test:
7:13 Vojopi
8:08 Boya BY-M1
9:09 Sony ECM-LV1
10:42 Rode Lavalier GO
10:49 Shure MVL
Thank you Stewart! Your very informative video was a HUGE help for me. Listening to the audio tests that you conducted here is helping me to make my final decision in which products to purchase. And the fact that Rode is designed AND manufactured in Australia instead of another country where it seems most everything is made nowadays, you helped tremendously in forging my decision. Great work!
Great comparison thanks for showing us what RF interference actually sounds like. I have had inconsistency regarding how the sound sounds on my in camera recording using these. Sometimes lots of static/noise, sometimes great, sometimes clipping.
Thankfully I've been able to export 32-bit audio from the internal recording of the transmitters and that has always sounded perfect
Absolutely loved this format guys! Weeding out the obvious no-go mic and skipping straight to the comparison with the real contenders was such a great move!
You should have tested the Sony ECMCS3.CE7. Very clear and very well balanced in the frequencies. The main pro feature of both mentioned Sony Mics is, that you can flip tthe cable upwards and hide it completely behind your clothes. Very best options if any is wearing a shirt only w/o any collar.
Great video, thanks! I'd really like to see you compare wireless lavaliers next!
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!
Hello, thank you for your video. Have you found an adapter for the Sennheiser ME2 to connect it to the DJI Mic? Thank you for your answer
So much value in a comparison like this THANK YOU!
Awesome topic to cover, thank you so much for the info and great to see worthwhile budget options.
Please also do a video on which of the popular 3.5mm mono mics (like the Videomicro, VideoMic NTG, Deity D3/4 etc) works best on the wireless go system
Yay! just what I have been waiting for!! Thankyou!
Awesome! Thank you so much for the signal test. I am currently looking for a "quiet" lapel mic for my wireless system. I have a feeling that Boya BY M1 is too hot and about to purchase the Rode Lavalier Go or Sony ECM LV1. Turns out those mics are even hotter, you just save me a couple of bucks!
Regarding quiet lavalier mic, do you have any other budget options?
As an audio newbie this stuff has been great. thank you so much. I love your channel.
Fantastic video! Honestly best video out there on the topic! Thank you so much.
excellent video, i would have liked the audio tests to all be back to back though
I just love the quality of your content. No Bullshit ^^
Thankyou - It can get confusing as to what to purchase and the quality. Really helpful that you conducted the sound testing as this was the deciding factor and help me to make a decision. Do you have a current recording about the total set up for novelist and recording/filming onto a Mac PC ?
Awesome )))) Thanks! Nice channel, awesome "Drone pilot" courses.
Just bought the SONY ECM-LV1, great mic - great sound - dont need a battery, that is great - and the mic is great reproducing good bass and clarity. I recommend it for the price.
We are moving to the wireless go-2 as our primary solution. Enjoyed the video!
Amazing review! Where can I find the mic stand you’re using in the video
Question what type of tube/wand lights are you using for this set up
Who makes the panel lights in your videos? It's a great look
Thanks for the video. I think it makes sense to go with the rode lavelier go!!
Could you please share where to buy the table stand for rode wireless go2 that you use in this RUclips? It’s look great but I can’t find it anywhere. Thank you in advance
Great test. I get bad RF interference from the PowerDeWise. The interference is inconsistent but it's present 90% of the time. I will have to pick another option.
Thanks for the comparison. Extremely helpful
Really great vid, useful set of comparisons. Thanks! Just a q - what’s your gain like on the Rode wireless go receiver when you’re using the lav go? That’s the setup I’m trying and tricky to get the balance right.
There is no gain input control, there is an output volume level on the receiver that controls the output from the jack. You need to lower your camera input to around 60% and raise the rode output until you are under clipping area but getting a good signal. Bear in mind this adds three gain stages to your audio: one into the transmitter, then blue tooth degradation, then the audio out from the receiver and finally the audio in preamp on your camera.
Thanks for all the hard work on this, much appreciated. I've been out of TV and Radio Production for about 5 years, but when I was shopping for lav mics for interviews, film and seminars we evaluated about 10 lav mics wired direct to field recorders with pro preamps and Sennheiser Evolution and Sony UWP wireless systems, and I often found what sounded great in a controlled studio didn't sound so great in the field, and some high-dollar lav mics while great on an TV news set often clipped, popped and picked up a lot of rustle on moving subjects.
The pickup pattern is a major consideration. for indoor studio some omni lavs had great vocal quality but outdoors picked up too much background sound.
For outdoor shoots I liked the ME-2 and Countryman B2D, and studio interviews I liked some of the Tram Lav mics
Good overview - many thanks!
amazing video! it helped me a ton! I appreciate it !
Hi Stewart, how did you connect the Rode Go II to the Shure MVL? I tried multiple times but I have no audio. Please help! Thank you
Getting horrible interference problems from the Rode Lavalier Go (version 1) with the Wireless Go 2, but it seems to be fixed by turning off the "Pad" option on the transmitter.
Loved this video thak you for your explanation :)
Great you helped me a lot, cheers. I chose the vojipi!
Thank you for making this video!
Which stand are you using with the rode wireless go ii? :)
What program do you use for audio edit and information?
Great comparison, thanks! Btw I already have a BY-M1. I would invest in a better and humidity/waterproof mic, but there are really no reviews with wireless go II and compatibility (signal level/clipping, self noise, supply voltage) is a big question. I need something that I can also use with a G4 transmitter if I rent it. The countryman B3, senn MKE2, deity W lav Pro, tram TR50, senken Cos11D, DPA4060 are on my list of candidates. Does anyone have good/bad experience with these?
Thanks, very helpful comparison
What are you using to kill the room noise? Compressor? Gate? What's your chain? Thanks.
Interesting having watched the dji and spoke to you. As i said short concise informative just what we need. No flannel. I think the Rode setup is what i need after swithering this video has convinced me that its best for me. Cheers Stewart.
Glad our videos helped you!
Great video!
Regarding the interference on the ME2,, I wonder if the issue could have something to do with the power requirements if the sennheiser. The specs say it requires ~7 volts and the Rode only supplies 4. I have the more premium MKE2 on the way and am curious to test it with my wireless go.
How did it work?
@@cheftoni1262 Same problem with the MKE2
Great video Stewart!!
Could name the lights were you using in this video share amazon link what price
Im buying my first mic for my camera. I’ll be mainly doing talking head videos and some vlogs. Am I best getting a lav mic or one you stick on the top of the camera ? Thanks
8:18 The Sony ECM-LV1 is for something like a Sony A7s series camera that has a **STEREO** 3.5mm microphone socket!
I saw your comparison video but bottom line which of the two has better sound quality: Rode Go II or DJI mic?
Great Comparison Video! Thank You For All Of Your Hard Work.
Glad it was helpful!
wich TRS adapter you use for the Shure MVL-3.5MM?
What TRS adapter to get with the Shure for Rode Go's?
Awesome information. My only question is - this is for the RODE, but it looks like you are using a DJI mic. Is that the case? Should I be looking at DJI all-together?
Which is the mini tripod you are using with DJI
Would have loved to have gotten info/testing of the Sennheiser beyond the fact that it has a locking function that doesn't work for the DJI system.
Could you test out the new Rode Lav II that just came out? Suppose to be better than Rode Lav
What about professional mikes like DPA 4066 / 4088 or Sennheiser HSP 2 / HSP 4 or Countryman microphones?
Thanks Stewart good video. I have Rode go wireless and been trying to find a better mic. Not having any luck.
hello, currently what do you think is the best lavalier to connect to the tascam h1n (which from what i understand is the best at that price) under 100 dollars? thank you!
What do you think about the Rodelink lavalier?
Great video. Next test with Hollyland Lark 150, please. The mic on the pack register too much ambience sound. My rode lav it's more directional
Bought the Power Dewise and for some reason they don't work with the Rode go ii. They work on other on other transmitters, not sure why and wondered if you changed anything?
Great vid!
I believe you can unscrew the locking nut from the Sennheiser mic and it will fit.
Is there an over-the-ear frame that will place the lav in front or beside my mouth. For commentating a game of lawn bowls I want to talk softer as I'm not far from when speaking and I don't really want the talk on the green to be pick up by the mic (sometimes they curse!)
Outstanding presentation!
any idea why my rode lavalier go is super quite with my rode wireless go 2 ? it is like super low
hi. when i plug lav mic with rode wireless go ll transmitter i lost the the signal of this transmitter in the receiver.is there an issues with that?
I'm looking into cardioid lavalier mics for the rode wireless go 2. My goal is to have several performers sitting pretty close together, and the mics would, as much as possible, be able to isolate to only the actor they're pinned to. Which of the top 5 here is the best for such an application?
When they turn their head the voice will lost and in general they're hard to exactly put it on clothes in the right direction
Thank you, great review. The Rode Sounded best.
I am in the market for a new lav due to my Rode Gold Go breaking down not at the mic but at the connection. This is the second one that has done this and I was careful to have the transmitter in my front pocket. Stress on the wire just past the jack seems to be a real problem for these mics. Something to consider
i feel better about my decision of buying the rode lav....thanks for all that you do...wishing you some California sunshine
For sure, the Rode lav is fantastic.
I think the Rode Lavalier would be an interesting consideration. It seems that it comes with an locking jack and costs around 90,-.
Bit expensive considering that there is very little difference when balancing audio in post
So helpful!!
Hi! I'm using zoom u44 audio interface to connect rode wireless go 2 output to large speakers (for a big lecture hall) and iphone for doing youtube live. The issue I'm facing is that since it's inbuilt mic is omnidirectional, I can't increase the gain much else it starts giving feedback. I believe cardioid lav mic with rode transmitter should work as it won't catch the output coming from the large speakers. This way I can increase the gain as much as I want to ensure sufficient loudness in the lecture hall. What do you say? And can you suggest some good cardioid lav mic for this rode wireless?
Did you find a solution? I am interested in this too.
Wow nice comparison, is shure mvl has trrs connection? So no need an adapter for the wireless go 2?
Cheers! The opposite...because the Shure MVL has a TRRS jack you do need an adapter to take it down to TRS for the Rode Wireless Go 2.
Very nice reviews!
Congratulations on the excellent review Stewart. If you record outdoors, you'll lose your work if you don't have the windshield attached to the microphone. I make this observation because not all microphones are sold with a windshield.
Does anybody know what lighting is used in this video?
Thanks. TBH, I'm struggling to see why the PowerDeWise's increased gain would be an issue. You didn't spell out the problems it might cause really.
Nice review cheers
I just bought the Rode wireless go 2 and the Diety D3 pro.... Now I'm looking for a Lav that best suits my needs. Thanx for this info.. I'm gonna take a few more looks at videos about Lavs and I'll make my decision by tonight..
@@Seminoles11 I ended up buying this 👉👉 ruclips.net/video/-DWSkjFkzrI/видео.html
This is actually my other channel.
Very informative
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! So what is the best setup for best result....meaning when biking with my partner we both have the rode wireless 2. And the camera is on 1 bike. However if my partner is biking eg in front of me (like 60 meters), the signal is too low. Would another setup help? With a lavalier? Your advice on the setup?
Hey! Lav won't make any difference. What matters is trying to get line of sight between the transmitters and and the receiver, i.e. as few obstructions as possible. Assuming the camera is in front of your partner, his/her body will be blocking the signal and at 60m this will lead to dropouts. Maybe look for a longer TRS-TRS cable and locate the receiver off the camera and at the back of the bike so there is a clearer signal between you and the receiver.
@@DroneFilmGuide thanks for your help! What about positioning the transmitter on the sight of the partners body? Does this increase the range and line of sight?

Potato Jet reviews the DJI Wireless Mic system on bikes.
ruclips.net/video/Bni9tXB0_cQ/видео.html
It has great range, even through body.
He quotes Rode 200m, DJI 250m and confirms DJI is better at distance, and better re-connecting after loss of signal.
Can monitor with earpiece on receiver, but no talk-back from camera to mic!
See Stewart and Alina's review of lav mics on DJI - ruclips.net/video/Vsf9nIiMgPA/видео.html
Has anyone else tried the Tascam DR-10L lav in the Rode Go II?
A "louder" mic (ie. more output) is, as you mention, can be, and usually is a better thing. If the mic is hotter, it will require less preamp gain, which will result in better SNR, unless the mic has a higher relative noise floor.
GREAT COMPARISON and excellent job testing for RF interference. I think I'm gunna have to ditch my ME2's.
really helpful video as always 😀, i hv a boya by-m1 mic, which used to record my youtube videos previously. Now after getting tge rode wireless 2, i was thinking of getting the røde lav fr it .. but now i will use the boya by-m1 with it and see how good it’s working 😀, but why haven’t i used this combo before 🤓🤔
For sure, unless you really want to buy a new lav, I should think you'll be fine with the Boya.
how far do you like your boya mic with rode go II , is it good enough?
@@ThyagoVideomaker haven’t tried it yet
Hi @Stewart, is the Røde lav ii mic compatible with DJI wireless mic transmitter? I wish both of then can be connected together, so that I can buy and use them both with my DJI Pocket 2.
Where can I purchase the desk mic stand in this video?
It is the new "DJI Action 2 Remote Control Ext Rod" !
ruclips.net/video/fL3PSGK5Yhc/видео.html
Why do you need a lav mic with the wireless Go?
Why do I need a mic for the wireless go II. According to specifications "...Each transmitter features a high-quality in-built omnidirectional condenser capsule....."?
Just purchased the Shure MVL for my wireless go 2 and they don't work.. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but they do not recognise them at all?
That'll teach me to not give the video my full attention...I didn't get the TRRS converter 😂
super style top video !! +1 sub
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
2 bad there isn't high end lav mics here like the b3-b6 countryman, but overall great video thank you!
Nice comparison. I wish that the new Rode Lavalier II was in more people’s hands to test.
yes, i am too looking out fr the lav 2 mic test results
i like the 'soeuwnd' on all of them..
But wait: why you don't just plug it into your camera directly? Does the Rode Wireless GO 2 improves the sound, or something?
So Shure MVL needs TRS adapter for Rode Wireless Go but does not need it for DJI Mic? Am I right?
Correct...very strange...
@@DroneFilmGuide So I am buying Shure. Thank you for all your videos. You answered to all my questions. You doing great job over there
I’m assuming these will also work with the DJI Mic when it comes out too, right?!
All of them but the Sennheiser ME2 because the DJI Mic does not accept locking 3.5mm jacks. But the DJI Mic is more prone to RF interference so check out this video we did on the subject: ruclips.net/video/Vsf9nIiMgPA/видео.html
@@DroneFilmGuide do you think the rode make it purposely not able to work well for competition sake?
@@Parrothed5150 You mean DJI made the Rode lav incompatible with the DJI transmitter? The thought did cross my mind but I don't know to what extent these things can be controlled. Given that the DJI transmitter had more conflicting lavs than the Rode transmitter I'd speculate it's just down to the shielding of the relevant components. But it is an unfortunate coincidence that the Rode is by far the worst performer with the DJI Mic. I definitely wouldn't want DJI as a competitor!
@@DroneFilmGuide So you’d say at this point the Shure is the best for the DJI?
@@Parrothed5150 Yes, it performed perfectly and it's a high quality mic that will last. But it is a little tinny compared with the others so keep that in mind if it's important to you.
Actually the RWGII transmitters have a pad, that works even when they're internally recording, so you're not going to clip easily (oh, and the pad affects both internal tx capsule, or a lavalier plugged in, depending on what you're using atm). You need a pc or a smartphone, and rode software, to set the pad, btw. You can't set it from the rx. The gain on the rx is not effective if you clip at the source the mic capsule, so if you're too loud, the only solution is the pad on the tx, as when sound arrives to rx it's already clipped or distorted, and pulling down the gain won't have any effect on recovering the sound, you'll just get a quieter clipped sound ;-)
