I just bought this microphone on prime day and I'm so excited it was about $200 less than the last time I looked at it and sound has been a big issue for my videos inside my office or at the gym. Thank you!

@LaloRacer1 3 жыл бұрын

This is hands down the wireless solution I didn't know I needed! My only question is, how would you say the internal microphone performs at capturing voices of people nearby? I intend to use for vlogging and clipping a transmitter to the person that randomly came into frame while filming might not always happen. Could I rely on my transmitter to pick up their voice smoothly? Thanks a bunch for taking the time to produce this amazing review!

Just for clarification, people that are recording their video on an iPhone will not be recording in stereo directly to the iPhone. It doesn’t support stereo recording but with the onboard mic recordings you could certainly import it and add that in post if you wanted to. Thanks for the review.

Can you simply record onto the mic device itself.... WITHOUT it recording onto the receiver? That's the first use case I would imagine. And have a separate microphone on the camera itself. Then I could sync them both in post and choose the best one. ....Or am I thinking about this wrong?

@KurtDeMeuterFilms 3 жыл бұрын

I think yes, I saw a video of using one transmitter only, so no receiver.

@godsofentropy 3 жыл бұрын

Good thinking! My solution would be even further: Rode Wireless Go 2 - one transmitter on a talent, the second one on interviewer, Rode videmic NTG on camera for backup as HQ solution and "what camera sees" recording (it can also go on boom at anytime) plus Zoom H5 for ambience / stereo recording. total count: 3 mono + stereo track, plenty of mixing options :)

@edwinmartinez1121 3 жыл бұрын

With Rode's latest firmware update the mics can be used independently as recorders on their own. That was my main reason for getting them. I recorded myself instructing an 8 hour class without any issues.

@JasonParkerMagic 3 жыл бұрын

Just wanted to give a little update! I was in fact able to use this as individual recorders, not broadcasting wireless to the receiver. I think THIS IS MY MAIN USE CASE. Because I already have another nice microphone on top of the DSLR camera.... so why would I transmit what I'm already recording on these RODE GO II mics to the DSLR as well? I would rather have a separate recording w/ different microphone. That way if anything goes wrong like the talent HITTING the microphone with their hand... I can switch to audio from the DSLR mic in the editor. Seems better this way. More safe.

@JeffPelletier 3 жыл бұрын

@@JasonParkerMagic I’ve seen other reviews discussing losing files occasionally recorded directly to the Rode. So the recommendation seems to be to record in transmitter as a backup only, but to rely primarily on the single being sent to camera. Plus, it saves having to sync in post.

Hello sir Great Video. Can you just plug in the Rode Go Mic 2 Transmitter to an apple computer and just pull files off and put it into Adobe Premiere? Looks like you had to change settings only with an app on computer from Rode. I am asking questions bc I want to see if this device can go with an H4N Zoom Pro handy recorder. I am use to pulling recordings and just putting them into Adobe Audition from a camera and editing them. So I guess you can't just pull files off these guys without an apple computer and going through the app with Rode?

@OrlanDave 3 жыл бұрын

It's great, but the transmitter won't record if it's not linked to the receiver. I thought it would work as a stand alone recorder, which would be amazing.

Then click button number two once and wait for the connection. 5. For the second microphone, repeat steps 3 and 4. Pim Amelsbeek
