First thing I invested in was the original Rode Wireless GO paired up with their Lavalier GO mic before I bought my nice cameras. Can vouch how good these things are, definitely worth the money! great presentation as always David!

@markitoss Рік тому

Do they ever go on sale? Been watching that one and the dji set up and they never go on sale lol

@TimmyKeoboupha 8 місяців тому

For this instance, I think you’d be better getting a lavalier mic, just so you don’t necessarily have to worry about your mic dying. I used to Motovlog, hope this helps brotha!

@Devon-Carroll Рік тому

The wireless mics from rode have treated me well, however their biggest crux is the software to retrieve the internal recorded files. I’ve had more issues with that than the simplicity of the DJI wireless mic system. If rode could figure that out I would recommend them more, but for now the DJI mics are so much better.

@AllenRReid Рік тому

The internal recording on the II is huge and has saved me. I'm surprised it wasn't added in these. Would like to see a test of the new gain feature to see how it handles loud noises.

@Americanomondays Рік тому

I just returned from a week-long documentary-style shoot on a research vessel in Bermuda. We were 60+ miles out in the ocean for the week - it was intense/awesome. I was shooting stills/motion and I brought the original Rode Wireless GO mics with me. I would randomly throw them on the scientists while shooting - and have them talk about their work - and used them for a few quick interviews. I was blown away by how good they still worked - and could cut down the ship's noise. I've been looking at the DJi ones for easy travel/charging - but I may upgrade to the second version of these, with the internal recording. Nice man - great video. Hope all is well, Jeff.

@Devon-Carroll Рік тому

I highly recommend the Dji over the rode wireless. They have internal recording as well, amazing battery life, and the charging case is awesome for keeping track and allowing them to record. Another huge plus is there is no need for an app to pull audio. The rode just has the files open up when plugged in. The ride’s software has given me issues on multiple occasions.

@Americanomondays Рік тому

@@Devon-Carroll Nice man - all good points. Especially on the file system - that's important to keep it as simple as possible. I don't want to have to use a 3rd party app to access my audio files before I add them to my edit. One thing I need to clarify on those If/before I would switch over is if I can add a lav mic to them for a lower profile when putting them on a subject. Thanks again

@Devon-Carroll Рік тому

@@Americanomondays yep! Either set can use lav mics.

@Americanomondays Рік тому

@@Devon-Carroll Nice. Thanks.

@WolfsHaven Рік тому

Being able to record on the Rode 2 and DJI is the main reason I'd consider buying them. I have the Comica Boom XD and the CVM WM100 UHF both are great lav systems I just wish they had on board recording. Even better if they used removable media. I've only seen much more expensive systems do that though.

@clifffawcett Рік тому

I’ve had my eye on the Rode Go II for a long time, but the price point was too much. Now with the Go Me, I’m really thinking about it. Do you think this would work inside of a motorcycle helmet? Will I need the media mod for my GoPro? Maybe should record audio separately in the Wireless Me like you said? I think it would work really good on my canoeing videos. I could pop it inside my life jacket and have consistent audio. I totally agree with the gaffer tape mod. Love the sweatshirt… I think I need one. Headed to the merch store now.

@RalphBarbagallo 9 місяців тому

Does the GO II not have auto gain?

@mattbgraves 3 місяці тому

Thanks for the info! This is great, as I'm looking to buy the GO ME. And the I the logo issue, lol... I feel like it's an inside joke from Rode. They know that anyone taking audio seriously would never use the transmitter pack as the mic(even though they advertise it like crazy) and that a lavalier mic would be used on the talent instead. Also, I may have missed it but did you bring up the fact between having a screen and no screen. I feel like that may be a deal breaker for some people to have audio meters compared to using the LED light(with the gain assist i can feel confident using the LED lights to set gain). And finally, nice hack with the sticker you made for the logo. Looks so clean! Patent and sell to them, immediately! haha

How much is an extra transmitter? Also for three mics what channels are the mics recording to?

@hellounclesim Рік тому

Another great video, David! Next one: what happens when you turn on all the Go2 and Me transmitters and receivers from both sets? 🤔

@SpaceCadet4Jesus Рік тому

They explode.

@DavidManningvlog Рік тому

Hahaa! Hopefully they don't explode like Space Cadet thinks🤣 BUT, you do pair transmitters to receivers. So if I turned them all on, the two systems would work independently. But you can pair one of the GO II transmitters to the ME system for a three mic setup. Channel wise, you end up with two transmitters on one channel and the receiver mic on the other

@kevinmatsunaga8806 Рік тому

Can you take two of the transceivers from the Go and pair them with the Me so that you have 4 inputs? I mean if you can pair one of them with the Me and now get 3, 4 should work right? Unless the receiver mic on the Go turns off if you pair a second transceiver with it.

@DavidManningvlog Рік тому

No, you can only go up to two transmitters. A note on that is the split channels. When you record left/right from both mics, you get the transmitter on the left and the receiver on the right. If you add another transmitter, the two transmitter's audio gets merged into one channel and the receiver mic on the other channel. Because cameras only have two channel pickups, you can't record the three channels separately

@fosberryfilms3169 3 місяці тому

In regards to the con you mentioned, in the box rode provide 2x matte stickers which fixes that. 😊

@JFrederick72 4 місяці тому

Does either have an EQ?

@engineerfpv Рік тому

No you cant connect 3 people on the go me. Our small tiny cameras only record dual channel. One left and one right. Except you want to merge stuff and then its when you destroy the sounds and you start crying when in post😂 because the one of the 2 was making a glitch or a noise or something that you cannot disconnect as they are merged. With the go 2. You can easily as a splitter cable and have a lav or another mic ( its just 1 cable) . And still have internal recordings on the mics which is a must for me for any interferences.

Rode has kept the same form factor for the Wireless GO I, II, and now ME, but I agree that it's too big. I would love to see something a little more slimmed down.

@@rodemic how about you slim down the profile of your product by like in half, create a chargeable case for your transmitters and receiver. Have a touch screen on the receiver so all settings changes do not require a phone app to make changes, substantially increase your wireless range between the transmitter and receiver, allow for a small adaptor to be used (with no wire) that allows for the receiver to be plugged in directly into a phone via lightning and usb-c, and lastly drop the stupid computer app to pull audio files and just have them stored in one single folder so you can drag and drop the files with zero hassle.

The whole presentation is quite a bit misleading for a newbie viewer (like the Tick Tockers or new comer UKpostsrs) . Please , explain to the viewers that 90% of the presentation is NOT recorded with the Rode Wireless Me/GO , but with a professional external mic hanging on the very edge , above your framing. Many people believe that they are listening to the RODE wireless product throughout the whole video. You definitely DO NOT explain this , properly. The Quality of the Rode Wireless mic is quite average if not poor. My 2cent. Thank you for your review.

@DavidManningvlog Рік тому

That's a solid point, but I'm not sure that's the case. For most of the video, I'm holding the mics in my hands. It would be odd to think that that was the audio pickup as I fling them around and pick them up and put them down. I think you're right that I should have mentioned what my normal setup is, but I think putting on the screen when the Rode ME is in play and having an audio comparison section does the job. It's for sure noted though and I'll make sure to add a note in future videos. Thanks for the feedback👍
