**UPDATE UPDATE** You can stop the charging from the ZGCINE Case to RODE GO by double tapping the battery check button... however this does mean you need to actively check to see if the RODE is done charging before performing this, otherwise it will just keep draining until it's out of batteries.
First time seeing a video of yours posted in less than an hour of posting 😂 love the videos man, you’re an incredible help with anything gear related! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hey hey Nainoa! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Haha you gettin' that FIRST in! Heyooooo!! **insert airhorn sounds** haha!! I sincerely appreciate the kind words my friend, I will keep doing my best with my content and reviews! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Thanks for the video . . . I recently just bought the Rode Charging Case . . . and it has the same annoyance. Not being able to turn off the case defeats the entire purpose of purchasing it . . . why else would you buy it other than to safely store your devises in it and ensure they are ready and charged for the next shoot. Well I found a simple work around, after I got passed my annoyance phase . . . the case is sufficiently deep to allow you to only insert the Rode Go's into the case, without plugging them in . . . so they are just loosely in their cradles. This doesnt engage the charging sequence, so they can not be stored without running the batteries flat . . . genius, I know 🤣🤣
@@TLDR_filmmaker I think that only works for the ZGCINE ZG-R30. Rode's own charging case does nothing but show battery level when pressed, double tapped or long pressed.
Hey hey again Gary! You're most welcome! Huh, that is interesting. I haven't used the RWG1 since reviewing the GO 2, I can't remember what I saw when I left it to charge haha.
TLDR quickies! It’s a bit more cumbersome than I thought, but I like the idea of charging as you head to set. You will almost never have to think of charging it
Watching out @Linus Tech Tips @Tech Quickie, I'm comin' for ya!! lol Definitely still a little cumbersome even with the double tap force shut off charge, but nice to know that you will have a fresh RODE GO on shoot if you just need to make sure it's ready to go by the time you lav up someone.
Hey hey Vinza! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! Absolutely! I'm definitely going to use this now when I bring my RODE to a film shoot. I'm the king of forgetting to charge ONE last thing as I'm doing last minute small stuff packing on the morning of a shoot. haha! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Thank you for this review. This case looks interesting but I'd like some clarity about the battery drain issue. How fast are we talking? It seems like those little LED's should take weeks to drain that case of battery life (if I'm understanding correctly that's what you are saying is the culprit.) Is that what you've found to be the case (no pun intended)...or is this a situation where if you upplug the box from the charger and forget to double tap the battery check button, the box is dead in a day or 2? Thanks in advance.
Hey hey Baby Back Maniac! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! It was later discovered that if you double tap the button the case, it will stop charging. While not the most elegant solution as you'll actively need to check if the RODE GO is fully charged before turning off the case, it is better than nothing. I thought forever that you'd just hold the button to turn it off, never had I considered to double tap the button. Hope this helps! On another note I am drooling over all the BBQ on your channel! Nothing like a good solid low and slow bbq, Baby Back Ribs all the way! Keep up on the great content my friend! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Hey hey again Tan G! You're most welcome! Quick update, you can actually disable the charging after the RODE has charged by double tapping the batt check button. I was trying the "hold down" button method, never occurred to me to double tap it. While it's nice to know, it still means you need to actively check it to know to disable it, so still not the most elegant of designs, but at least the option is there!
Hey hey WORTH IT OR NOT?! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! So glad you enjoyed this video!

Hey hey again Martin! Perhaps to a certain degree, I've talked to a lot of creators about youtube presence and for the most part because of my content type and delivery personality. Flashy graphics and over the top thumbnails does not quite fit my personality (brand). But I am exploring new ideas to try and do thumbnails and in video content differently to see if it feels more natural. We shall see! Until then I am always here to give the answers and learnings, that won't change!
I built my own charging case for my iPhones, iPad, ZOOM H6 (separate USB powered 4xAA Lithium Charger) , and Rode Go II mics. Used a 8 port charger. Wish I could find that 1-to-3 splitter in a shorter configuration. I could free up 2 ports on my 8 port charger and use that for future devices.
Hey hey again Billy! I know right?! I searched all over to try and find a shorter 6" to 1ft version and I could not find any. All the ones I found were "multi usb" types with Micro, Mini, and C-type. :(
@@TLDR_filmmaker So, I picked up the cable, and some USB-A solder on connectors. Cut the cable short for my application and soldered the connector. Add a bit of super glue to the connector housing to keep it together and some heat shrink around it too. Much more compact for my application.
@@TLDR_filmmaker Yea, I do that sort of thing. Sometimes, they just don't make what you want. FYI, I had sent you a email to your gmail account on 6/30, subject line "Rode Wireless Go II's and stuff" I never saw a reply, most of it is mute now as I've added the ZOOM H6 to my mix, but, give it a read if it's not too tl:dr and reply back. I also have some info about using the Rode Go II's with the ZOOM H6 and issues others have had.
Hey hey again Technickr! I later found out that you can actually turn off the case, if needed, by double tapped the battery check button. I also wonder if the recent Wireless GO II firmware updates has turned off battery charging once it reaches full, that could be it too as I was testing this with earlier firmware at the time.
Great job on the case and the 3 in 1 usb-c cable. I just ordered two of those cables 😬📸🤗 **Question please: Can you shut off the case manually to save battery with the Rode’s still in the case?
Hey hey again Walter! I just found out that if you double tap the battery check button it actually does force the ZGCINE to stop charging the RODE's. I was holding down the battery check button thinking thats how it would shut off, never occurred to me to double tap... However this does mean you'd need to actively check the RODE GO to know its done charging before turning the ZGCINE off. Not the most elegant of design, but better than nothing! Thanks for making me dive into this further!
@@TLDR_filmmaker THANK YOU Again! Who is better than you to answer everyones questions and also update when you find something new post video upload. Based upon your update about double tap to stop charging, I purchased the battery charger!!!

Thanks for this. But I'm confused. The Rode Wireless Go ll can only be charged 7 to 9 times.??? Does this mean it will not recharge again? Only asking earnestly. Respectfully. Perhaps I don't understand. I'll watch again.
Hey hey Yard Time FM! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! No worries, it is a little confusing how to say it. When I said 7-9 times, this means if you only recharged, say the Receive only, you could charge that receiver with the case 7-9 times over before the ZGCINE case ran out of batteries. Because the RODE GO II has three units, you would be able to charge the entire set a total of up to 3 times before the ZGCINE runs out of battery and needs to be recharged. (So that it can charge the RODE GO II another 3 times) This does not mean that the entire system dies after only 7-9 charges and that you'd have to buy another RODE GO II set. Hope this makes sense and helps! Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Well I really feel silly now. I'm about to purchase both the Rode Wireless Go ll & looking for a charging system and found you. I confused this Charging system with the Rode. Sorry for the silly question but makes for a good comment🤣 Thanks again.
Haha it's all good my friend! Have fun with the RODE GO II, its a lot of fun and I can't believe we gotten to this point with small, powerful, and cheap (compared to 5 years ago) wireless audio for people that need it!
Does this Charging Travel Case for RODE Wireless Go II also work for the old version (2 years) of the RODE Wireless Go? I just remembered something about your film! This bowling RGB video light that you use there was defective after 1/2 year. I once obtained it from Amazone, but I no longer know from which dealer. I think the battery will be defective ?! I have not yet found anyone in Germany who can repair this Video Light for me. Maybe you have an idea what I can do? Thank you very much
Hey hey Jürgen! Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question! Yes, this case also works with the original RODE GO. If you go through your amazon order history you should be able to locate the dealer that you purchased from. Or if you check your archived emails, you can hopefully find the Amazon order email. As for repairing, I'm not sure as I have not opened mine to see what type of battery cell it uses. **WARNING CAUTION, THIS IS JUST MY THOUGHTS, I"M NOT SAYING TO DO THIS IF YOU"RE NOT TRAINED TO DO SO** The person that performs the repair would open the unit carefully to locate the battery to see if it is soldered or plugged into a 2pin. On the battery there would be a part number. Simply search for the part number and you should be able to find a wholesale seller that sells the part. From there you just replace it. This is my best guess of what to do to make a repair on the battery. My Boling P1 is actually still functional with no problems, I actually used it in this video. But I did hear others started having problems after the first initial batch from Boling. I'm not sure what happened with their manufacturing process. :( Hope this helps! Thanks again for stopping by!

The results are quite interesting. See if what I test will work for your needs. TLDR, it works, to ensure you have the best signal, make sure the RX are further apart. If you do get a clip, make sure you always have the internal recording turned on as I show in this review that you lose very little battery life (10 mins) Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
I"m new to all of this, how do I know when the transmitter/receiver has stopped charging, I'm finding a lot of conflicting information, even on the Rode site where it says the battery outline will be green, mine is white. I have the RODE Wireless Go II
Hey hey Kimberly! They may have changed the color of the charging icon in their firmware updates. You can tell when the Transmitters are done charging when the blue light no longer blinks. And the receiver when the battery icon is not blinking. If you have this charging case, check the pinned comment for how to turn off the case charging when its all done.
BUYER BEWARE: I thought this was the best idea, but twice now it’s caused me MASSIVE grief by flattening the receiver over night the day before a LiveStream. I check it is off then in the morning it has flattened the receiver completely. Its ONLY job is to charge the WG2 and recently it caused me massive grief on a large LiveStream. It should have protection against flattening devices. You can have a receiver turned off, put it in the case, it turns on automatically and then charges but when finished charging it stops and overnight the battery in the receiver goes flat… shows over… as a 20+ year veteran photographer/videographer… my advice.. just use the charge cables…
Hey hey Cole! Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting! I do talk about this problem in the video, it was my major critique about it as well. I later found out that you gotta tap the button twice for the case to shut off so that it doesn't keep trying to trickle charge. ZG-Cine apparently has a new version of this case based off of all my critiques, I have yet to try it, but I do wish the engineers would have had us filmmakers use it before they made a bunch of units that are now essentially worthless compared to the new :( Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Yes but again the issue is that you have to remember to do that, it should just do it fully automatically without the user having to intervene at all.
Thank you very much for taking this on board, I have gone back to just using the cables that come with the Wg2 system, I’m not going to use a charge case any more as it is too easy for this to happen with the current charge cases in my opinion

ZG-Cine apparently has a new version of this case based off of all my critiques, I have yet to try it, but I do wish the engineers would have had us filmmakers use it before they made a bunch of units that are now essentially worthless compared to the new :(
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker Yes but again the issue is that you have to remember to do that, it should just do it fully automatically without the user having to intervene at all.
Thank you very much for taking this on board, I have gone back to just using the cables that come with the Wg2 system, I’m not going to use a charge case any more as it is too easy for this to happen with the current charge cases in my opinion
I know it's made for Rode but how hard would it be to make it fit the Comica Boom XDs?
Hey hey Don!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
It would be pretty hard and generally not recommended due to safety issue when modifying.

it's cool i guess... my solution was to come up with a way to charge them while on the camera so i don't have to ever "charge" them.
Hey hey Renossant Inc!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
Definitely fits a certain market for people that can use this, otherwise yup, just keep it charged or fine a way to keep it charged through the day with some good ol fashion DIY goodness!

$70...not $50....😭 just checked your link on Amazon.
I’ve just ordered from Amazone: $49.99
Hey hey again Fun Film!
It may depend on what country you're in. Amazon USA is $50.
@@TLDR_filmmaker I guess I better turn my VPN off...
Does the case function as a USB hub too? Does the Rode Central app work and connect if I plug the case into my laptop?
Hey hey Arlin!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
No, this does not work as a hub for the RODE Central App, it's just a charging hub. That would be one heck of a cool feature though!

@@TLDR_filmmaker Bummer, that would be a great feature. Change settings and grab recorded audio files while charging. And reduce the cable clutter....
