I’m a Baby Boomer who has run a successful business but now wants to explore my interests in video, photography and new tech gadgets. I figured, what better way to do that then to start a RU-vid channel. It will never be perfect, and at times, messy but we’ll learn new stuff together and have some fun along the way. For all those who have heard the saying, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, join me and let’s prove them wrong.
As a fisherman, i use polarized glasses all the time. I learnt that if you rotate phone in front of them it will change how well you see the screen. I suggest you do the same with CPL filter. I have same camera as you do and that is what i did to determine best polarization position for my filter. In my case mark has to be around 11o'clock
I agree with you totally that the filters are very difficult to adjust. I also noticed some colour changes in the sky. That is just the opinion of an amateur. So I bought some fixed K&F ND filters and am very happy with them. . Outside I mainly use the ND32. I find it to be a good all rounder.
Thanks for pointing that out. They have updated their website and expanded the product offerings. Here is current link us.scottymakesstuff.com/collections/all
For audio I used the Zoom F2 Field Recorder and synced the audio in post. Given my distance from the Go 3, there was no way the internal audio would be adequate and the Go 3 does not have an external audio jack. As for speed, I shoot in 30 fps so my speed used was 1/60. Thanks so much for watching!
I have used DJI filters in the past without issue. Both DJI and Telesin are quality glass with same installation method. The DJI ND filter set has three filters an ND8, ND16 and ND 32 at a cost of $59 US. While the Telesin ND set has 4 filters a CPL, ND8, ND16 and ND32 at a cost of $35.99 US. Got the CPL with the Telesin plus saved over $20 US, with no drop off in quality. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!
I've been interested in a Go 3, and the new Go 3S, to complement my DJI Pocket 3 but was never impressed by footage I've seen till today! Looked fantastic in daylight, can't decide what I thought looked better 32 or 64. Good video and hopefully see some more Go 3 videos!
Thanks so much. The Go 3 can go to a lot of places the P3 can’t because of its smaller form factor. I would do the Go 3 S if you don’t have a Go 3. The K&F ND’s are nice. Enjoy!
I got the Rode for free, does the job but will probably upgrade to a Shure SM63. Rode is a lot more susceptible to handling noise, you need to be very delicate holding it. Not ideal when working with interviewers or reporters who are focused on their job rather than the finer points of sound quality.
I haven’t experienced any handling noise with Rode Interview Pro. While, I am not familiar with the Shure SM63, I really enjoy the Sennheiser MD46 for a handheld mic. I did a video comparing the Sennheiser MD46 with the Rode Reporter. Here is link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hXjQSQKBCgQ.htmlsi=nCuy_vk9mJPQYnUL. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have had Go IIs and now 3 sets of Rode Wireless Pros. I have two interview Pros now. One statement or wish you had in wanting the mic to go wireless with phone and iPad or whatever, like the DJI II, should have been phrased another way. You can still go wireless to the devices with a receiver attached. The wish, which is a good one, is connected to any device via Bluetooth without a device. I have not tried it, but can you download files on Iphone and Ipad through go central?
You cannot download file from Go 2 or Interview Pro direct on iPad or iPhone via Rode app, nor will iPad or iPhone files app see it as a drive to open. You are correct with the receiver connected that Go and Pro can connect to iPad iPhone.
Go 2’s and Interview will work with ipad and iphone so long as Go 2 (or other compatible Rode) receiver is connected to ipad/iphone. You will be able to record (and save files) directly to any audio app on your ipad/iphone - GarageBand, Voice Memos etc. If you save an audio file directly to the “internal” memory of a Go 2 transmitter or Interview Pro transmitter and then plug the transmitter (via usb c) into the Ipad/Iphone - the Ipad/Iphone can not read the file saved on the transmitter (you need a windows or Apple computer to do that). In summary, the Ipad/Iphone will not provide access to files saved directly on the internal memory of the tramsmitter via the Files app or Rode Central app. Hope that helps.
i bought 3rd part external battery and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Battery. And I also have Rode wireless pro. But with handle it does not recognise my wireless pro mic. What to do sir ?
Both are top quality! The design of the ND’s (fixed vs. variable), thickness, ease of handling and gimbal shutdown are the differences. Also, note the K&F are stackable while the Polar Pro are not. I use the Polar Pro Vivid collection daily and they are great. As I mentioned in the video, I just found the K&F more different to handle and work with. Hope that helps. Thanks for I watching.
Great video. It looks like there are issues at the 9-stop with an x-pattern emerging as well. I would say it's great up to 8-stops but 9 is not usable. I would only use the full 9-stops in a timelapse type of scenario anyway and I'd probably buy a dedicated filter for that if needed. They are harder to get off of the gimbal though. I have just enough fingernail to get them off fairly easily and to adjust but that is a good point about those who may have issues with that or eyesight, although I don't personally find them any more difficult to see than some of the settings on that tiny osmo pocket screen. I'm 48 and am nearsighted and have to pull my glasses up a lot to see things up close so I get it. If found out they are also stackable with the K&F black diffusion filter. With that setup, the gimbal will not close so it works like the other filters. They're difficult to separate once you stack them though.
Great video and helped me make my decision for an upcoming conference podcast tour where I have concerns that my Zoom H5 with it's default mic (as great as it is) will pick up too much background noise on the table between myself and guests. My plan is to run the Sennheiser into the recorder as a second mic so that my editor has a choice of audio to use.
Thanks for sharing your experience while testing it for overheating and demonstrating how to remove the pocket 3 from case found your video useful and informative 👍
Great video! The slide on factor is definitely a selling point for me. I've looked at other nd filters, and I don't think the quality is all that different.
Oops! After publishing, I noticed portion of audio recorded on Interview Pro was not recorded in Stereo - that was my error (remember, I’m learning new stuff). Let me assure you, in mono or stereo the Interview Pro sounds great!
You can but the gimbal does not return to the full closed position - the ND is a little too thick. No damage will be caused to gimbal. Watch for my upcoming video on the Freewell “variable” ND filters that are real thin and will allow full closing. The P3 is perfect for travel journals! Enjoy.
I have a K&H ND4 and ND8 for my OP3. I probably need a higher ND. What do you think about the Variable ND filters out there compare to the single stop filters? I saw this video before I got the P3 but came back to it for your expert opinion.
I only have the single stop ND’s. The DJI set of 3 is 4/6/8 stop. Plus, I have the Polar Pro set of 3 (that also have a CP on each) at 3/5/7 stops - these translate to ND 8 thru ND 256. The variable ones I see on Amazon are 1-5 and 5-9 stops but I haven’t seen one with the CP feature. I mostly use Polar Pro Vivid Collection (3/5/7 stops) because the CP really helps with colors - these are ND 8, ND 32 and ND 128 and that range works for me so far.
I have seen a few folks complain about the tipping, however, I don't think Rode designed this to be a full on extended boom arm similar to their PSA1, etc. So when it's unbalanced and fully extended with a heavier mic, it's going to tip. We know the intention of this wonderful mic stand is to be used with a Rode PodMIC USB, that is why it has the USBC cable holes to thread through as well it's awesome for cameras, phone mounts, lights, etc.
You may require a 3/8” female to 5/8” male connection adapter. I use the Camvate brand which I got on Amazon but any 3/8 to 5/8 should work. Here is link - CAMVATE 3/8” Female To 5/8" Male... www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y6BWPJ8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Hope that helps.
Do you have the low-cut filter turned on or off? (It is turned on by default when it arrives new.) The DJI mic 2 usually sounds much better with the low-cut filter turned off.
I’m 99% sure the low cut filter was off for this video. I agree with you, the DJI Mic 2 sounds better without the low cut filter on. I think all the lavs sounded so close in quality. Enjoy!
Good to know. Since I just had to send my battery extension back for an exchange because it wouldn’t hold a charge. So they’re exchanging the whole combo but once again very useful information.
