This video was so helpful! Very concise and had all the info I needed to get up and running quickly. Thank you for the hard work you put into this!

[@ThatCameraGirl]

Thankyou! I’m glad you found it so helpful!!

[@RADGarage]

I really appreciated your video advice. I am tempted to go with the DJI mobile mic system simply because the transmitters have the convenience of the magnet mounts. Thanks for your help on this system.

Great video with far more useful information than most videos have provided. I'm on day two with these mics purchased from Best Buy because shipping is unavailable to my location. You answered my question about how to fix the stereo mono situation for future videos. Thank you for that!

[@suzansetel8411]

Hi there and thank you for the succinct video! I am a singer guitarist and perform in small rooms of about 40-60 audience members and am looking to be more hands/equipment-free so that I can sing and move a bit with ease. Does the RWGII work for this performance set-up?

[@mcutproduction2858]

Great video!! 😊

[@RayInTheCity]

Great video my friend , i have a question , i use these in nightclubs where the music is very loud i have all the settings on the lowest but still get distortion , any ideas for a fix ? i have PAD on and the gain at -30db

[@localdental9888]

Thank you so much. Could you please explain me the purpose of Rode A1 Micro, as I am very new to all of this. I have bought the Wireless Go II with AI Micro as thats what I was recommended and now I am very confused. Thank you

[@raphaelworkman_]

This was great information! I didn't have the Always record option enabled and it cost me a few hours of interview and a rescheduled session to get the clean audio. I had used the same mics (someone else had set up) and I knew it just always recorded, but when I got my own, I just assumed it was how they mics worked. Now I've set it up properly for that feature, but I still want to go back through the other suggestions as there are some I didn't know that might be very useful. L for lavalier! :)

[@ThatCameraGirl]

So glad you found it helpful! 😄

[@iamlizzymorris]

Great info can you do a video with atem and with restream, ecamm Ana Streamyard

[@duncanmcbabe]

amazing!

[@viralbuthow000]

Can you listen to the audio WITHOUT pulling out the cable from the phone?

[@khactiep1994]

legendary

[@WillNewcomb]

Your office/studio is creating echo in your recording which is undermining your message of this being a great mic setup!
