This video is by far THE BEST video tutorial I have found for these mics. I got mine last night and I thought it wasn't working but after watching your video I see what I have to get for my computer to make the connection. I now understand how they work. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time out to create this video. You have no idea how much stress you saved me.
I’ve watched 4 videos after purchasing it yesterday…. This has been by far the most well explained and well laid out. The difference between the Lavalier and just the transmitter was also super helpful. I could actually hear the difference and make a decision whether its worth dicking around with or not. Thank you!
True. The "How to use Tx as Stand alone recorder" basically saved me. No one else talked about this and I was about to return my unit cause i thought it was defective. Thank you Simon!
Excellent video Simon, you’ve answered all the questions I had on the Rode Go 2. As someone who is not a stranger to recording, having recorded live bands in the past, I found the content both applicable and interesting, whilst easy to understand for those who haven’t had experience.
Just got My set of rode wireless go 2 for my own youtube adventures. I have to say this is the best video out there for these microphones. I was so lost in the little setting of these things and this video helped me make the fine tune decisions I needed. You did a great job. This video touches on everything. Thank you so much for putting this video together.
That is a great video. I am new to video, relatively, and these mics completely. It's a lot for me to take in, but I have to learn this. I can see how much you put into this video, so a big thankyou.
A very excellent and thorough review of this. I had ordered the RODE Go 2 and was looking for a good overview because the instructions are pretty poor. You did a wonderful and thorough overview to get me off quickly. Thank you for publishing this! Definitely subscribing!
Fabulous video - not just the content being useful, but your calm and steady explanation of it all really helps it go in! So appreciated. I have a Q... I recently filmed a wedding, placing 1 lav mic on the groom, and 1 lav mic on the celebrant's handheld mic with electrical tape. My husband (as my second shooter!) had the receiver attached to his camera, as he was standing at the back getting a continuous wide (and so had more ability to monitor the audio input). He confirms that both transmitters were being received throughout the ceremony. However, in the RODE app later, when I went to retrieve the audio recordings, only one had recorded! I thought perhaps the transmitter was faulty, but this same transmitter worked later when recording speeches. I wonder why the audio from one of these transmitters did not record, if he is certain they were both being received? Could it have been accidentally set to mute (and therefore was receiving but nothing actually to record)? It's left me anxious for my next wedding this weekend! (I'll be experimenting all week!).
if you'll use it with Zoom H4n, this recorder on the back have trs input for external mic you can use it instead internal mics and you not need any adapter, this is stereo input ... xlr inputs stay free ...
Can you connect a transmitter directly to the computer via bluetooth, without the need for the receiver? The same way you’d connect a bluetooth speaker or any other bluetooth device to a computer? I’m looking for a lav that has this feature and none seem to exist, which I think is pretty silly.
🎉Hello, could you please help me to choose the correct mic for the kids youtube channel?😊 Sometimes we will be 2 and sometimes 3 in the video. Videos will be outside with the child. What's the best way to record the sound? I have a Go Pro camera, a single wireless Røde go and sometimes we use a samsung mobilephone, but we need a good sound.😊 What's the best? Should I buy 4 røde go wireless mic and connect them to the Go Pro camera, because we need 3 people talking in the video?❤Thank you🤗
The Zoom H4n has XLR-1/4-inch combo jacks, so you only need a simple, cheap as chips 3.5mm TRS to 1/4 TRS jack adapter to record audio from the wireless receiver.
Hi Simon, I cannot find an answer to this: I bought the Rode Wireless GO II a couple of days ago. Both the transmitters are well connected to the receiver and appear on its screen, however only one is able to transfer the audio to the device, which means that despite both are connected and with the volume changing on the receiver screen, no audio at all can be heard from one transmitter when a recording/video is made. I used to have the Wireless GO and never had such an issue but this time I really cannot find an answer ...
Though 24 is still a standard, 32 bit float has a benefit that’s even more important than quality. It has a higher ceiling on distortion. Are use 32 bit float when I don’t have a safety channel and want to make sure I don’t get any distortion.
You explain, that the backup recording starts when it has connection and stops immediately after it disconnects from the receiver. Isn't that a bit contradictory to the fact that the backup is there for when the transmitter disconnects from the receiver? If it would immediately stop at every connection problem, you would have the same dropouts on the local recording as on the receiver end...
very good point. I haven't actually tried it but I kind of assumed if it disconnected unintentionally it would keep recording to backup... I need to test it to see what actually happens. Otherwise, just use the always setting, so that as soon as it's switched on it will record everything continually
Thank you very much for your tutorial! So if I’m not wrong, I just need to buy a single Rode set for one person interview? I will be filming while my interviewee answers questions.
Bloody brill well done. Best video on here for rode. I ride motorcycles and I’m trying to get a mic system so I can talk whilst riding. I wear a flip helmet I am looking at the instamic pro plus but it does not hold the paring you have to,te pair each time after closing the camera of mic. I also like the look of the new dji but not sure if it will work whilst riding bikes. We use the insta 360 one x2 cameras. Any ideas welcome
Hello Simon. I think you forgot to mention HOW to connect receiver to computer, because supplying wire not working. Have to buy special wire and usb c to microphone adapter. Very important.
I can't figure out from any of these videos whether I need to download an app to make it work. Can anyone give me a yes or no? My receiver works fine, the transmitter is doing nothing. In fact my cheapo one form amazon, while not great, is infinitely better than my new one from Rode, because the latter is doing nothing at all.
Make a video showing Lumafusion how to add clickable thumbnail-links over a video, clickable thumbnail-links that would start playback of other videos?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. However, please may I ask your advice? I am a riding instructor and film all my lessons. I already use Rode link to record my voice, so that my pupils can take home a film with clear audio. Is it possible for me to switch to this wireless go system and have one receiver recording my teaching, but another used by the pupil, live, with headphones, to hear my voice so I don't have to shout in windy weather. If not, i don't suppose you know if there is a Rode product that can do this?
Thank you so much for your great video.But let me ask you a query: Is it possible to connect a mixer /amplifier to a mobile /laptop which is connected to the Rode wireless mic to pass the audio through the speaks on a live program ? If so,how to do it ? Thank you so much .God bless you .
Thank you Simon. I attached both 1&2 to test the sound, and turned one off, what occurred is sound only went to the left speaker in the recording. At the time I was unaware of this. Then I turned the other unit back on and the first one off. Then the sound was in the right speaker. Would I have just left both on? And in the future, when only doing a single mic set up, will it record to both speakers? Thanks for this video it was an immense help.
I just bought the Rode wireless Go (not the GO II) and the rode central app doesn't work with it. How do I export audio files to my computer with the first Rode wireless go?
I bought the transmitter separate from the receiver and still can't connect them to the holding button receiver for 3 second s and pressing the power button on the transmitter... no connection..any suggestions? Thanks

There is also a 3.5mm input on the rear that overrides the inbuilt mics...

This look awesome! Also nice wizard hair Simon, you should wear it down in videos more lol
