Gotta love that guy who explained 32-bit float! That was awesome!!!

@PW-qy8mf 5 ай бұрын

sorry to say, but actually, he's wrong: 1. you CAN clip 32bit audio, it's just much more unlikely --> same as with shooting RAW video, where you still can blow out the highlights 2. 32bit is not about the high and low FREQUENCIES (which make up the pitch of the audio signal), but it's about the AMPLITUDES (which make the volume of the audio signal)

I just got this kit + the channel news mic for like 456$ and that’s including tax As someone who is absolutely new to audio stuff (more experienced with photography) I am so so glad that one company has taken the consideration to have everything you need covered + being at top quality. It does make it quite a bit easier (compared to looking at this brand for that thing and that brand for this thing situation, which just even that sentence is confusing so imagining the process and I’m glad I could just go to Rode for everything) This was a great video and thanks for explaining the 32bit float thing, the raw comparison made a lot of sense coming from photography.

Love your video and how you explain things. Never change…. One question please (and sorry if it’s a stupid question as I’m new to wireless mics). I do golf course reviews and inevitably there are 4 people in our group that do the review the same time. I would need to capture all their comments as we are playing etc. I note the kit comes as a two mic system. My question is, has the system got capability to have 4 mics running at a time or does this mess up the capture….. If it can have additional mics over 2 how can do I do this?

@mrdonsmith 9 ай бұрын

Very nice. Very entertaining. (But you know there's a 'however' coming, right?) However, yeah, twice rechargeable but just saying it can record many, many hours side-steps the fact that the system doesn't have replaceable batteries and so you have no choice but to wait for the units to recharge. Production has to stop until recharging is complete. How long does that take? No mention I can find on the Rode site. For me, I also have the Wireless Go II set with two transmitters. I think that if I faced a full day, I would have my Go II transmitters ready to swap out with the PRO transmitters so that production doesn't have to stop for a too-long recharging wait. (The Go II has two modes of recording: Compressed and Uncompressed. You get loop recording in the Uncompressed mode, but Uncompressed mode is not available on the Wireless Pro, so, if you use a mix Pro and Go II transmitters (use the same mic's!), I would set the Go II to use Compressed to ensure a close sound match to the Pro system). Now, I really like the Pro system but I have one serious demerit for it: The transmitters have a reflective front! I watched a Rode video and the transmitter on the Rode lady kept flashing studio lights into the camera as the lady shifted and moved. This is how non-professionals shoot a video. I wonder who, at Rode, said it was OK to let their transmitter on their spokesperson flash studio lights into the camera.

@Dwoalin 7 ай бұрын

As someone who has been eyeing the Wireless Go for some time, I had no idea there was an Interview GO adapter for the Wireless Pros to make it more of a handheld mic. For $30, that's so worth it to not to mic up a subject on the street, etc unless you have to. So the Dynamic is more...dynamic and the High is more of a "compressed" feel where everything is more evened out? 🤔🤔 That's really useful. I've been wanting to use my iPhone 13 Pro Max to shoot some footage with solid audio until I can afford a mirrorless camera. So the internal recording on this would be fantastic for that and just sync it up in post.

I love my GO ii but I get a lot of interference when using it with my Sennheiser MKE2s. The closer the microphone is to the transmitter, the louder the buzzing (also on the internal recording). As soon as I turn off the receiver, the buzzing is gone. So I can record internally fine, I just have to hope everything works because I won't be able to monitor it lol. When I'm using Smartlav+ Mics with the SC-4(?) Adapter, there is no buzzing. So my question is: Have you tried either system (GO ii and Pro) with various lavalier microphones? If the Pro got rid of that buzzing issue, it would be a reason for me to upgrade.

I have a question. I like the DJI because they act sort of like a lavalier and have the "cat" for the mic and from what I have heard, great noise suppression. For the content I want to do, it's POV so I have to use both my hands and can't hold on to a mic like you and if I remove it, I would need it to be able to not catch wind noise. How is the Rode on this regard? Thanks a lot and awesome high quality video. In my dreams I will someday do something of this level of quality my videos are very basic.

@DavidManningvlog 3 ай бұрын

Both DJI and Rode are great at just clipping onto you, but the Rode also comes with a lav mic which is even easier to clip onto you. With the DJI you need to buy a lav separately. Both sweet systems so it's a tough call!

So here is a request. I know you don't have a motorcycle but I was thinking of buying this for a Motovlog setup. Since it comes.with the lav mics, I was thinking of mounting the lav mic in my helmet and have the lav mic clicked into the transmitter and then do the business. What I want to know is....does the 32bit float feature work with the lav mics connected? Does the wind noise from the air blowing into your helmet gets blocked out with this new mic system? Or is the 'clipping' only eliminated from voice frequencies? See if you can test wind noise inside a helmet. I'm not sure if you have anything that could go at least 45mph to do helmet with lav mic installed audio test

O and I use either the hero cams, DJI action 3/4 or insta360 X3/one RS 1" to record my audio into. So do the wireless pro process audio to 32bit audio and then give you the effects of 32bit audio even though it's plugged into an action camera?
