If Gordon says "In-depth", he mean it! One of the best unexcited, precisely and likable Reviewer in his genre!
"Those pebbles behind you ... did they come there in a storm? Were they dropped there by a series of ambitious seagulls perhaps building some sort of monument, we may never know..." Mr Laing, that's art, art, poetry, literally limericks brought into a tech review! Greatly appreciated indeed.
Thanks, you're the first one to appreciate the grandeur of that moment!
It's been 10 years since I first started watching your videos. I learnt my first photography lessons from this channel. Now I'm here a decade later learning more about audio products.
Glad to be of service!
Great tutorial thank you Gordon, recently I bought these microphone in Adorama and I can say that I am satisfied with them. you have my subscription.
Thanks!
Hi Gordon,
Great review mate.
A couple of comments that I hope will be helpful.
The Windshield will hold on tight if it is pushed into the top of the transmitter firmly as the small tabs will then will 'click in' and hold under the microphone housing. I do however agree that it is not very intuitive, and so it is a bad design! We have a fix(new system) coming, and I will send you some if you give me your address(see my email at the end of this if you want to give me that, and in fact anyone else who has bought the Wireless Go, I will of course do the same).
The other thing I want to comment on is the TX and RX maximum range before 'drop out'.
The Wireless Go was 100% designed with ultra reliability within crowded 2.4 GHz transmission applications, and that was a priority over maximum range. It still has great range of course, but in places like trade shows, offices, shopping centres etc that have high levels of 2.4 GHz usage,, the Wireless Go will nail it at interview distances, where all others fall over.
At NAB this year, every other manufacturer refused to demonstrate their units due to fear of failure at the show, and even at very short distances. Anyone who was at NAB will know that we were alone in showing ours working, and at well beyond a real use distances. For its intended application, it stands alone!
I know this system is truly disruptive technology for wireless audio, and we are beyond proud of the team of Engineers here in Sydney and what they have achieved. The Wireless Go is the worlds smallest, and also the first truly wireless microphone system!
The Wireless Go was also designed with RX low profile 'fit to camera' very much as a target. We do however understand it is very important to look at antennae polarisation with any wireless system if you want the absolute maximum operating range. This is true for any system, at any frequency, and any price. Even if it is a $20K and beyond single channel set up, we all need to follow some basic, but very important rules. High end concert systems require amazing amounts precision technology, but most importantly high gain directional antennae systems that match polarisation(or angle that the transmitter antennas will transmit at), will make or break any of these systems. While it is certainly not a simple area of physics, looked at simplistically, if you change the angle of either antennae so they do not match, you can easily lose half or even more of your transmitted power, and so obviously your operating distances will be massively compromised.
So, if you need the Wireless Go to be effective beyond its intended range, it can easily do that and become a 'distance winner', Just mount the receiver so the top of the unit is now facing the transmitter. This will make the antennas face each other, and you will be amazed at the range increase!
We will be doing a video tutorial on this, and I think we should probably make some simple cold-shoe adaptors to mount them in that way for people who need the extra range and dont care about the RX stick up.
I hope the above is of interest to your followers, and again, thank you for your support.
My best regards

Hi Peter, thanks so much for your message, I've been a tech journalist for over 25 years and you're the first boss to comment publicly on a piece, so I thank you for your time and input.
Hopefully you've seen that I regularly use several of your products, in particular the NT USB which has become my go-to mic for voiceovers on my videos.
I really enjoyed testing the Wireless Go and genuinely think it'll be a game-changer for many small creators. I've not yet had many issues regarding the wind muffler, but have heard of some who have, so wanted to mention it. I also saw another video which mentioned you were working on an improved version, so that's great.
I think a coldshoe adapter which could angle the RX up could be a fun idea - I may try it myself with a bracket for a theoretical range test. But to be honest I think the specs and range are absolutely fine for the intended use. Some of the feedback I'm getting is from folk who'd love if one receiver could support two transmitters, allowing you to mic-up two people without needing a mixer or multi-track recorder - I'd also like that! Beyond that, a matte finish might be better for avoiding dust and making it more discreet when mounted facing-forward. But beyond this, well done on an excellent product that deserves to disrupt the market. It'll certainly get me out filming more pieces outdoors than I do now. Thanks again for your comments.
Peter Freedman thanks for your detailed comment. Please let users turn off the blue lights on the transmitter and please make a new version where two transmitters can be connected to one receiver (basic interview setup, and yes I am aware of the workaround with additional gear). Many would like replaceable batteries too. Thanks
@@TamasVarga-VatartPhoto that's a very good point about being able to turn off the lights, I hope RODE adds this in a firmware update.
I second Gordon's comment regarding one receiving being able to receive from more than one transmitter. That is by far the most requested feature I have seen in the reviews I've watched.
I hope I could use this pretty piece in drama ...cos I saw lot of reviews that the unit failed if the tallent is backwards ..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and performing all the tests with the Wireless Go. Very helpful. I am just in the process of evaluating it for my channel.
What a great review! I wasn't even looking for a microphone, I have absolutely no need for one but now I want this thing
you're welcome!
One of the great reviews I've seen so far for the rode go. Awesome job being very thorough on the review. Love the outside tests as you really get the impact of the wireless setup vs. say a shotgun mic. definitely issues being far out and turning around while recording. Very cool tech and great review Gordon!
Thanks!
Great review. Thank you for doing those outdoor tests , for me the best I have seen. Best of luck on your channel, I hope to grow and this Mic will help at least with my audio.

Why no more Cameralabs Photography Podcast? It was my favorite camera podcast, and among my favorite podcasts ever. Please reintroduce it. And if Doug can't do it anymore, you can do it yourself or get someone else to help out.
...And one other suggestion. Why not allow comments on your Cameralabs website articles? Disqus is easy to set up, and recommended. I know that there will be arguments in that section, but to be honest, that is the reason why I go to DPReview...to read the comments more than the articles themselves. It's just entertaining to see people's reactions and what they have to say, even if some are trollish or fanboys. (I would guess a doubling of traffic over the course of a year after you add comments, as people love to read comments.)
@@Rationalific I hope to startup the podcast again soon. As for comments on the articles, it's hard enough dealing with them here and on social, as a one man operation I don't have time to do all of this - it's overwhelming. Plus reading some of the comments on DPR about my work makes me want to quit - why would I invite that onto my own pages for the sake of higher bandwidth charges?
@@cameralabs Thank you for your response. And I get your point regarding not having a comments section. Now that I know that you have thought about it but decided against it, then I will not push anymore on it. However, again, just speaking for myself, the main reason I go to camera review articles is not to hear about the performance at 1080p 120fps from the article directly, but rather to see what people have to say about it. After a while, I know the shills and trolls and just skip past. Or sometimes I enjoy the ensuing arguments. That's me, but I don't think I'm alone, either. And I thought that it might bring in some more interest. But it looks like you are happy where you are (or, as you said, even "overwhelmed"), so I don't want to make things even harder for you. So I'll drop that idea.
But I am happy to hear that you are thinking of starting the podcast again, as...and I will say it again, and even more strongly...it is BY FAR my favorite camera podcast around, and among my favorite podcasts in general. Anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks again for your reply!
@@Rationalific thanks, I'm really happy you like the podcast, I hope you'll enjoy what I have planned for it!
@@cameralabs I'm definitely looking forward to it!
Loved the video! Very useful and funny at the same time.
Wow. What a fantastic review! Thorough but not bogged down. It actually convinced me to place an order for one! Thank you :)
I bought mine from B&H yesterday. I can’t wait to get it great review
One of the best demo/ reviews I've seen on the Rode wireless. Thank you. Have subbed! 👌👏
Thanks!
Thanks for being so thorough! Quite helpful.
Mine is on its way! I can't wait!
This really is an amazing review!! I love how you give us a bunch of options for distance. What a great video, so concise and interesting as well. And I am NOT a techie by any means.
Fantastic review, Gordon! Thanks for the effort you put into making such a thorough review. This looks like a great little system. I'm not usually into video, but I'm so tempted to buy this mic setup and start making some videos. The last time I made videos was with one of the first digital camcorders.
Thanks! It's really fun to use, and so much better quality when used at a distance vs on-camera mics.
You had me cracking up at the end great review Greetings from Florida
This was a very in-depth, high quality and interesting review. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
What a great test! Thank you so much!
Brilliant review, sir. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Great Review? So east to listen to and incredibly thorough..thank you!
Amazing review Gordon
I’m an occasional dSLR recorder but also want to use it as a wireless microphone- so will check ur recommendation however the size of this RODE is very compelling
The Brighton pier did it for me - love the place and brings wonderful memories-
Thank you for review.
Very well done review. I really like my Rode Wireless Go. Thank you!! (I have clipped the transmitter to my side pocket, while using the Lav mic. This seems to help the dropouts significantly - as the transmitter is basically in line of sight whether you are facing towards or away from the camera.)
A thorough and exhaustive review, thank you! 👍🏻
Thanks!
Great review Gordon, thank you. I've just ordered mine:)
You're welcome!
Brilliant review as usual 😊
Thanks!
Seriously, I just subscribed because this video was so good. I just got my Wireless Go's and love them but always am looking for info and ideas about stuff I own. It was a real pleasure seeing your review. Thanks so much. Cheers.
You're very welcome! How are you liking the mics? Any tips on how to attach them on clothing?
The best way of using it is how you used yours in the video. No clothing noise either. Wasn’t muffled too. Just good clean audio. I just love this product.
Great review thanks, just hit the buy button, love the built in lav mic and the lack of external aerials certainly makes it a quick system to setup.
You're welcome!
Great review, this system is now on my "wish list" and going onto my next order.
Thanks! If you're ordering online, please consider going through the shopping links here or in my reviews at cameralabs.com thanks!
awesome! ty for a fantastic review and tests
Hi Gordon! Love your reviews, I just subscribed 👍
Thanks!
With a lot of noise coming from IS/VR/OS lenses, me thinks this might be the way to go moving forward. Simple, easy, and keeps the weight of the camera down as well! Thanks Gordon.
A superb review of a great product! I have subscribed and probably purchase the Rode Wireless Go! Its versatility is amazing, the smaller form factor when compared to a shotgun mic, and reasonable price makes it a game changing product. 🙏🏾
Thanks, glad you found it useful - don't forget if you're ordering online, please consider going through my links here or at cameralabs.com thanks!
Nice review, Gordon! Glad to see it wasn't just me experiencing dropouts outdoors when the transmitter is facing away from the receiver.
Thanks! Yes, it dropped out at fairly close range when not given line of sight, although not surprising given what must be very small antennas and batteries inside. Owners just have to be aware and careful where they mount both units. It's going to work well for my closer range stuff outdoors though.
@@cameralabs Agreed on all points. Great little kit for ease of use.
Watching both of you for years now. Thanks for all the great videos!
@@luckyqualmi 👍

One of the Best Reviews of the Rode Wireless Go Gordon. Thank you mate. Will be buying it tomorrow. Paps from Down Under :)
You're welcome!
Excellent review Gordon , thanks
Thanks!
I’m totally buying this. Thanks!
Just picked mine up from Sydney today, let's get this this cranking...
Hey Gordan...u have done a fantastic job of explanaition, and you have put in the different circumstances re the Rode GO. Ill now subsribe. Thx Geoff in Oz
Thanks Geoff, and they're made in Australia too!
An excellent review - many thanks
WOW. That was a ot of work and provided us a lot of information. Thank you very much for that effort. Bought you a coffee. :)
Cheers, much appreciated!
Received mine 2 days ago and tried them out. I'm so happy! Have been looking for months for a solution for my audio quality problems, these are going to be perfect for my purpose! THANK YOU!
Great stuff, glad you like them! How are you mounting the transmitter on clothing? What's working well for you?
@@cameralabs Yes, I clipped the transmitter directly to the neck of my shirt to the left of center, between my ear and my mounth, if that makes sense. This location made the transmitter as close as possible to my mounth.
Hey did you face any problems
In-depth indeed! Much appreciated.
You're welcome!
Very helpful, thank you. Subscribed.
I just ordered these microphone and it's the first time I using,nice videos bro ,,,muy buen microfono
Greetings from India..I was just confused abt tht mic to buy or not...but ur video has such kinda description..tht is really so and so helpful..i just ordered just after watching tht
16:34 SOLD! Great video thank you for keeping it simple and and straight forward.
Thanks Tomas, glad you found it useful!
Gordon, Great review.
An excellent review Gordon :)
Thanks John!
Gordon, You should have packed a tripod chap for the zooming. Good review mates!🍺 cheers from MN, USA
Brilliant comprehensive review.
Thanks Don!
Great review 👍 it looks a great bit of kit
Thanks!
Great review ! Keep it up man.
Thanks!
An inane banter masterclass and a reputation gained as the wandering, chattering man of Brighton... The Rode gives a very pleasing sound quality, and very handy bit of kit.
I'd be interested in a comparison with a 'proper' wireless mic unit, to see what difference there might be for the size and money.
Yes, I'll try to do that sometime, but in the meantime, Max Yuryev has some good comparisons.
Great detailed review =)
Great review !
Thanks!
Great review Gordon, nice to see Brighton pier again! Noticed the mic broke up a bit when you walked and turned away which is a bit strange as it shouldn’t be directional, should it? All the best Steve in Oz!🇦🇺😎👍
the break-up was due to signal loss. If you want a long range the units need to face each other. You can turn away, without losing the signal, but only at closer range. i think that's fair for the intended use though, as no-one's really going to turn completely away at long distances in a presentation and need it to continue!
Just got it, but loved your review 😁👌🏻
I’ve been using the Wireless Go for a few months now and it is awesome, I’ve used it under some fairly extreme conditions and it has been flawless
Hey what about the internal microphone issues? That other users have been reporting about?
@@SnehasisPanda I've used the Wireless Go extensively and haven't had a single issue with it.
I've had my Wireless Go for a couple of weeks now and one possible issue I have found that you did not mention is that if you are wearing a loose collared T-shirt and have the microphone on the inside of the collar, clip out, and you lean forward, the weight of the transmitter/microphone can allow the microphone to flip inward with the microphone then pointing directly into your skin. On a shirt or sweater such as you were wearing with a tighter collar that shouldn't be an issue but it is something else to be aware of. Aside from that, I love my Wireless go and because of the issue noted here I am beginning to use it paired with a wired lav microphone with the transmitter on my belt. Overall, a great and very fair review.
Thanks, and good tip on the clothing. I'm going to try it with a few other clothing configs to see what works well...
Hey some users are reporting that it has some problems with the internal microphone. Have you faced it yet?
When is the incisive doc about the pier pebbles hitting the big screens? Inquiring minds want to know! 🤣
Awesome review... and really appreciate how you pointed out and demonstrated the clear benefits/limitations of lapel mics in general.
More in-depth review of all the vids I've seen. I bought product and received yesterday. Haven't had a chance to test it yet. But I'll be testing under real pro conditions, with a backup alternative of course. My only concern abt this system is that it cuts out when you turn around. Connecting a lav and clipping transmitter on waist should reduce cut-outs, but it will still cut out at times. Other than that, this is the perfect solution. Range is impressive at this price point. Quality is not excellent but still very good - you can always EQ it in post. I'll see what it's like in my test.
Thanks! I don't think you'll have cutouts if you're within a few meters, plus of course mounting it somewhere on the front of the body will also help.
Thank You for the Brilliant " 5 Stars" Review!
Thanks, glad you like it!
Can you use this system with a handheld mic, such as an ATR 2100? I assume you'd need some sort of adapter for it. Fantastic review Gordon, much appreciated!
Hello, do you know when they’ll release this for Amazon? Also amazing review, I love the hard work and effort that you put into this video in order to make the best review! I subscribed because of the video quality and production of this video and also because I didn’t even know about a new product from rode was produced. I was actually going to buy the lavalier mic that connects to the phone but the wire was a problem for me and I didn’t want that, because then I’d have to have my phone on me at all times but with this I wouldn’t need to worry about that!! Because the distance from the cord isn’t limited!!
Glad you found me and the video! Hopefully it'll be on Amazon soon, it's a very new product.
Thank you for the review
You're welcome!
I have one of these on order atm. Just waiting for my local store here in Australia to get stock in
Hopefully shouldn't be long, especially since RODE is based in Australia.
@@cameralabs mine arrived today man they are small will do some testing and do up my review soon
@@OzzieTech hope you enjoy it!
Thank you - your review is professional and accessible for an amateur like me just starting. I bought the Go set and also have the NT USB Mic. So far v happy with the simplicity and quality. If you know Ian Burns (Redstar and Beijing Beatles) ask him to buy you the coffee and tell him that Jim will pay him back. Thanks once again.
You're welcome Jim! You now have the exact same setup I use! PS - I don't know Ian Burns, but the coffee contribution is just a donation via paypal.
Really good review thanks 🙏
Only one question: is it possible to connect several rode wireless micro to the rode receiver? Let’s say you want to do an interview or if there are more than one person in the video?
Only one mic per receiver,sadly.
Great review i love it
Great video and very informative! I`ve got this system, it is really convenient but I came across some issue. While transmitter is charging via usb cable that came with it it will turn On by itself and stays On when unplugged. Have you had this issue with your mic? Thank you.
Hmm, I haven't noticed that but will check next time I charge,.
absolutely outstanding!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
is it okey to use condensed powered mic to attach to wireless go?
Worth it just for the views of Brighton. At the moment I’m using a cheap Aputure wired lav but I can see the day coming when I run out of wire . I’m going to pick up one of these when they hit the shelves of my not so local shop. My only concern is the non replaceable batteries which would basically mean this is a disposable item. I wonder how many recharges the batteries are are good for.
I wonder too, but remember most phones don't have removeable batteries - hasn't held Apple back!
cant wait to get mine :)
I want one...very much :-) It will be on my list.
Hi Gordon. Really late to the party here, but great review! I was wondering how this would perform if hand-held about 2 feet away between my wife and I sitting side-by-side with shoulders touching. Thank you.
For music events if can get the go close to source v the micro pro love the size sound sounded great at the pier the go
Question: when using the Rode LAV when i plug it in I no longer see the sound level meter? Is that suppose to be like that?? When I am just using the transmitter microphone it works fine and you see the sound level meter..when i plug it in, nothing...and its brand new! Am I missing something??
Informative and interesting topic
30 mins long and all of it was worth it!! I gotta learn how to review products like this. Do you have a structure, format, or method that produces consistency?
Well, I've been doing this for over 25 years, so I've kinda found what works for me, and roughly stick to it. I always try to look for the same things in every product I review, and test them in a similar way for consistency and comparison. Then I try and get it across as concisely as possible, which normally means key points or even a script.
Thanks for testing range while facing away from the camera. First dropout at step 7. From what I gather, the range is better indoors than outdoors.
it really depends on congestion around you. You may have more 2.4Ghz noise inside than in a quiet rural exterior. But in a busy town, it'd be even worse.
I guess indoors the wireless signal can bounce of the walls which gives it a more stable connection as long as there are not many other wireless networks going on.
excellent video, thank you
Thanks!
So if you place this on a belt of the talent or in the suit pocket and doing a 3-5m distance from camera shoot you'll be okay ?
Hi Gordon, I'm throwing a shout out to my fan base to your review in my new video out tomorrow. :)
Thanks, much appreciated!
How far can you place the mic away from your mouth before it sounds bad? Can you clip it on your hip belt and can still pick up good sound? How about placing it on the table? Clip it on your hat? Does it sound well that way? Im looking to keep it looking discrete.
Does it cut off when the subjet turns say 10 meters away?
When charging the display microphone does yours ever show a full charge or does it always show the lightning symbol? I contacted rode and others and nobody has given me a straightforward answer. I always receive an indirect answer. I am on my second package due to bad packaging on the first set.
Good luck man! Hope it all goes well for you! Im not sure I have the same situation where it shows full battery when it is almost dead but charging. Thanks!
what should i do if i want to use for filming 2 people ? can we add 2 receivers (mic) in single camera ?
You would need a mixer to take 2 inputs into one output.
Excellent review Gordon, thank you. So the Wireless Go's range, when the receiver doesn't have line of sight - and you are walking away from the camera, is around 3 metres? I wonder if the Sennheiser XS has a better range in the same situation?
I would imagine any wireless system that has bigger antennas would perform better in terms of range facing or facing-away. And yes, in my tests it began to cut out after only a few meters - my steps are about 3/4 of a meter, so count the steps until it cuts out...
@@cameralabs Thanks - you've given me plenty of food for thought. I love the form factor, price and ease of use of the Wireless Go, but I worry about RF interference and cut outs. I recently shot a corporate after lunch interview in a private dining room, using two rode filmmaker lavs. On instruction from the client, I was filming from the back of the room, 10 metres back, with the rode filmmaker wireless lav feeds going into two audio recorders. I had line of sight but experienced all kinds of interference. Total nightmare - had to rely on a suboptimal back up mic near the stage. I sent the rode filmmaker kits back...If I had the cash I'd get the Sennheiser XS and the Wireless Go - and use the Go as an easy peasy run and gun back up Lav.
PS Sounds like THE perfect mic for the Osmo Pocket.
@@Scriptfella yes, the Wireless Go is a consumer piece of kit, designed for closer range casual work - I wouldn't use it for a job that like that!
@@cameralabs I also teach film and screenwriting classes and sometimes leave a camera locked off at the back of the lecture hall. I guess with the Wireless Go, i'd have to remember to never turn my back on the camera!
I've been on the lookout for a good mic for the upcoming Montreal Jazz Fest. I've tried two external types including a shotgun type at the recent jazz fests, and find that on the Sony a6500, the built in has by far given me the best results. Any suggestions?
Is it a fixed position? I'd consider a field recorder like one of the Zooms...
Any suggestions on a mixer or recorder to use with the RODE Wireless Go if I wanted to mic up four people at a time?
I'm going to look into this, but in the meantime, you may want to check out the field recorder guide by Curtis Judd.
excellent, any suggestions for equipment to use when operating two or more Rode Wireless Go microphone systems simultaneously?
Thanks! I would use a Y splitter cable to connect two mics to one stereo input.
Question. Can the Receiver have to Transfering mics? Like if Me and my friend used one mic each on 1 receiver or do you need 2 different Receivers?
Great Review!
One mic per receiver I'm afraid
Hi Gordon, great video! I'd like to know under what circumstance would you use a wireless microphone versus a separate recorder such as the ZOOM F1 with a lav mic. Or are they two completely different things? Thanks!
A wired solution will almost always be better as there's no transmission compression or interference. So only go wireless if you need mobility or distance from the camera.
@@cameralabs cheers Gordon!
Hey Gordon, I'm looking into these for audio on my videos were I spend most of the time in front of the camera, but if I'm showing things I'm seeing and talking while behind the camera will it still pick up the mic that's on me or does it have to be completely "FORWARD" line of sight? Thanks for the great review!
it will pick you up if you're in front or behind the camera, no problem
@@cameralabs Awesome! Thanks Gordon. That was the only question I had and was wondering if I needed to reverse the receiver on the camera somehow to point back at me. Didn't think I should but wasn't sure. Great review, great channel and thank you.
Great test, very helpful! Would you also use this mic to record ambient sound? For example, will I hear a waterfall in 100m distance from the transmitter?
Thanks, no you wouldn't use this for ambient sounds, in fact it's designed to concentrate on close range voices. BUT you can connect a wider field microphone to the transmitter if you want a wireless mic for ambient recording, although you would lose any stereo effects.
Gordon Laing good idea, thank you!
