Rode Wireless Go II: amzn.to/3lqexnR
Rode recently released the Wireless Go 2 a new update version of the popular wireless Go series. There are many new enhancements and features most notably it is now a dual-channel setup and comes with 2 transmitters for dual-channel audio. They have increased the range to 200 M and it even has built-in audio recording backups. In this video, I go over all the features and do some audio tests with the new Rode Wireless Go II connected to the GoPro Hero 9 Black and Media Mod.

THUMBS UP for sure! Thank you sir, for being the ONLY PERSON on planet Earth to show us how to connect it to a GoPro (Media Mod). I've searched for hours and hours for that short few seconds at 04:34. All the literature only mentions connections to laptops, computers, iPhones, and Android. The word "GoPro" is NEVER uttered as if it's a classified secret. THANKS, I salute you!

Shawn that's amazing that Rode released a second version to the wireless go, and the fact that you can get huge distance now without losing interference is a big plus, thanks again for posting as always great video and great work.

DJI's mic is more worth the money in this case! For one the simple charging pod just makes it not only portable but super functional as well! Then the mic itself just works incredibly even at a far distance!

Great video, thanks! Wow, that mic is expensive!!!! But I can see where it could really come in handy. Question on the danger to sound stupid, but I need clarification: If I were to put the camera into one of my cages and add one transmitter to the camera while keeping the other one with me, would the camera now have BOTH the bird sounds inside the cage and my voice from further away on it? I hope I made myself understandable.

What audio levels does your receiver show? Are you staying in the 'green zone'? I've set the receiver's output level to -12 db and chose 'Powered Mic' on the GoPro, yellow spikes in the audio levels do not clip for me.

@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

Just wondering if you might know if the GoPro 9 uses a left and right channel for the audio? I have the 9 and the DJI action and found out that the DJI only records on the left channel and if you want to use 2 mics you have to merge them as you did in the video. At this time with the GP9 still freezing up and clicking in the audio I am reluctant to buy accessories, hopefully this last update has fixed the problem but I already know I still get the clicking. Great review !

The GoPros record stereo audio, so you can fully utilize the 'Split Mode' of the Wireless GO II. Btw, I was very disappointed to find out that the Insta360 ONE R features just mono audio recording as well.

@Kroess 2 жыл бұрын

In this case you have to switch the RØDE Wireless GO II receiver to 'Merged' mode. The audio received from one sender is output to both channels then, and your camera records it on the left and right channel equally.

Mister Steeve nice video. Thumb up👍for this amazing review... I just wonder, if you have a time to help me and tell me which is the correct name of this magnetic boucles for the transmiter and receiver on RODE WIRELESS GO 2? I wanna buy them for my RODE WIRELESS GO 2 MICROPHONE SINGLE SET (which is connected to my GOPRO HERO via GOPRO HERO MEDIA MOD), one - for receiver, and one - for microphone on transmiter... And just one more little help, which budget RODE Lavalier microphone I can buy it for myself and for my video streaming, to be compatible with the RODE WIRELESS GO 2 and GOPRO HERO MEDIA MOD for easier transformation in the live stream? Thank's in advance and greetings from the Serbia... EDIT: I found the name of this set, or to be precisely it's called RØDE FLEXCLIP GO SET and for my second question I found that's the best option for me is the RØDE LAVALIER GO microphone, but for now will be good also BOYA BY-M1 PRO Lavalier microphone... Now is time to save money for the new RØDE streaming product or RØDE STREAMER X.... 😉 😉 😉

With the Wireless GO II you've got the option of recording in merged (both mics on L and R) or split (one mic on L and one on R). Sounds like he is recording in split mode so his mic is only recording to the L. This can be edited onto both channels in post-production!
