Yes you sure can! Here are a few options for you I'd recommend: Rode tripod stand (if you need compact). amzn.to/3T12u32 Desk Stand: amzn.to/3T2Pj1z Boom Arm: amzn.to/3uKVfmh
I'm plugging my rodepodmic usb to my iphone 15 pro with usb c but the input gain when I record in the camera app is super low and I can't find a way to turn the gain up. How did you do it?
Yeah @taylorabell is right! The Rode Central app on your phone should give you the option to turn the gain up, and make other adjustments. I've got another video coming for specific DSP settings for this microphone too using the Rode Unify app. That'll be with you on the channel soon!
Ah I see - that's a real bugger. I just gave them a call too, to help clarify that and they did advise that's a known issue and something that they're working on a fix for. Hopefully it will be a fix that comes sooner rather than later!
Thanks for the video! Do you have to sync audio in post after recording in the native iPhone camera or will it just playback as normal like you were shooting a regular video? (minus the podmic)
Sorry for the delay in replying! Nope, we didn't need to do any audio syncing in post. What you see there is exactly as it came in. Handled well in this format! Hope that helps.
Thank you, this was so helpful. Would you consider doing a video of a beginner podcast setup for an interview style on location? I have the Rode Wireless Go 2 and an iPhone 13 mini. We want to meet in a cafe and record our conversations. I’ve done a test with just the audio and it sounds okay. Also, what would you do if there is recorded music playing in the background?
Oo yes I do have a few of those types of videos in the pipelines! Recording in a cafe is going to be a little bit tricky as far as how to manage the background noise. Is there a reason you want to go to a cafe specifically? Rode Wireless Go 2 and the iPhone 13 don't do a lot to manage background noise (as in, they're not designed to be super directional microphones), so you would be better off recording in a quieter location with that setup. We're working on some options though so stay tuned on the channel.
You're very welcome. It seems to be an area that is underserved isn't it! I've got a few more coming that focus on smartphone only with a small amount of gear as sometimes that's really all you need.
I plan on purchasing the podmic usb and was wondering if a Lightning to USB-C Accessory made by apple would work as opposed to buying one from rode-since I already own an apple one- Thanks
Hey @coleedwards1634! Unfortunately that cable won't work. I tried it myself when I first got the Podmic, and it wouldn't power the microphone. I contacted Rode directly via phone to double check, and they confirmed it needed to the the Rode cable because that one supports the power required to make the Podmic work. So definitely get the Rode one! I've linked it in the description in the video for you!
Hey! We use software to bring all the audio/video in and stitch together with b-roll/other footage. In this particular video we just used Descript: get.descript.com/rgmxtjxzunbb which is a very easy software to learn and we have a free course that shows you how to do it too: www.bambymedia.com/diypodcaster
Yeah that cable won't work. It has to be one of the actual Rode cables. Either the SC19: amzn.to/4ay2hLb (longer length) or the SC21 (shorter length): amzn.to/3RRBORI
Great video! Thank you! Would you consider doing a video of the beginner set up for interview style video podcast? I would love to see your guidance with two mics and two cameras😊
New subscriber here 👏 Thanks for the great Content❤ I have the Podmic Usb and iPhone 14 pro and the SC19 cable and I keep hearing a hissing/white-noise in the background. I tried with other iPhones and with Android and an Ipad (through Rode usb-c to usb-c cable) same hissing. Can’t be quiet as if you connect it to a computer. I feel I have a faulty unit and I am in contact with the support team, But I wanted to confirm with you to feel confident as the support process takes forever to send the mic 😏😕
Hey! Thanks for subscribing. Nice to have you here. Nope, I don't have any hissing with this Podmic USB plugging into the same phone as yours. Only difference between your gear and mine there is you're using the SC19 cable, and I use the SC21 cable in this video. Though the only difference between those two cables in the length. Concerning that you're using a different cable for other hardware and you're still getting the hissing sound. Have you changed any settings in the DSP when you plug the Podmic into your computer? The only thing I'm thinking perhaps is if you're getting a hiss, that can sometimes be if the compression is boosting way too much, and that would be something that is adjusted via the computer first plugging the microphone into that. I'm working on a DSP explanation video for the podmic at the moment that might be really useful to you too.
@@bambymedia Thank you so much spending the time writing this long detailed answer. I really highly appreciate it 🙏 You are right with everything, The only 2 things left are adjusting DSP or resetting it with Computer and then testing again in mobile. It wouldn’t be nice if the mic is mixing between both devices. Thanks ☺️
@@bambymedia DSP is not taking place as I disconnected the mic from the computer and the Rodecaster duo and connected the mic directly to the devices with everything off (No processing, no high pass filter) and with different tests of gain levels using røde central mobile app. Sadly all with white noise/hissing. I can’t get the 100% quiet background. I think I have to send my mic for a repair or replacement.
Hey! When you plug your Rode Podmic USB into your iPhone/Ipad - if you go to the Rode Central app, does it show up as a connected microphone from there? Let me know and I'll help you troubleshoot! And to clarify, you're using the USB cable that was included in the box for the Rode Podmic? Or you're using the cable that I mention in this video because you have a iPhone 14 or lower?
As far as I'm aware because the new iPhone 15 pro max has a lightning port now, you don't even need an adapter. You can just use the Rode Podmic cable that comes in the box, to plug the microphone straight into your phone! I'm yet to try it myself, but I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
The new iPhone 15s have a weird volume limiter that records USB mics extremely low. Rode is aware of this and have addressed it but Apple has not notified customers. It is not fixable by adjusting any of the setting in the Sounds/Haptic setting nor the Music settings. It happens even when trying to record in apps like Black Magic or Filmic Pro. I returned the iPhone 15 pro because of this. I primarily record with iPhone and wanted to use it with my Rode Podmic USB.
Hey! Yeah there is definitely still some handling noise, but I haven't noticed much of it at all with the Rode PSA1+ boom arm that I use. What kind of boom arm do you have?
Hahahaha - I didn't give you permission, and you still did it anyway. I can't wait for all your podcast episodes and live-streams to feature the chipmunk sound fx heavily.
Hi! You should be able to use the cable that is included with the Rode PodMic USB to plug straight into the side of your Macbook Pro. No extra cable required.
How is the podmic powered if plugged directly into the phone?
The phone powers the microphone via the cable. It's pretty neat!
Can you get a stand for the Podmic or do you need to hold it the whole time?
Yes you sure can! Here are a few options for you I'd recommend:
Rode tripod stand (if you need compact). amzn.to/3T12u32
Desk Stand: amzn.to/3T2Pj1z
Boom Arm: amzn.to/3uKVfmh
I'm plugging my rodepodmic usb to my iphone 15 pro with usb c but the input gain when I record in the camera app is super low and I can't find a way to turn the gain up. How did you do it?
The app
Yeah @taylorabell is right! The Rode Central app on your phone should give you the option to turn the gain up, and make other adjustments. I've got another video coming for specific DSP settings for this microphone too using the Rode Unify app. That'll be with you on the channel soon!
@@bambymedia I contacted Rode and it seems like its a problem with the USB C connector on the iphone 15 line sadly
Ah I see - that's a real bugger. I just gave them a call too, to help clarify that and they did advise that's a known issue and something that they're working on a fix for. Hopefully it will be a fix that comes sooner rather than later!
@@bambymedia thank you doing that and helping clarify! Really appreciate that

super late but thanks for making these. no one ever makes videos for just plugging a good mic into your phone to make content

Do you know how can we do it with 2 mic and 2 phones?
I've got a video coming up that walks you through that exact setup! Stay tuned.
Any alternative dynamic mic recommendation ? The rode podmic usb is sadly not available to ship here in our country or it’s more expensive than SRP
Ooo good point. What country are you in and I’ll give you my best recommendation!
@@bambymedia I’m from the philippines my budget is around $150US - $200US (price difference/range is due to conversion and price diff/tax)
What does "Zed" mean?
Ooo where did I say "zed"? I'm an Aussie - perhaps it's "z"? lol. Let me know and I'll clarify for you.
Ohhhh Likey & Sub’d ✌️
Fabulous! Welcome to the channel. So happy to have you here.

@@bambymedia recording in person interviews. How the beginner can tackle the audio as well as recording with the phones perhaps? Thank you! 😊
