Hey thanks for this, its a great overview. I'm hoping to record more in my Forge and as such its not a great sound environment there is constant fan noise and I'm a blacksmith so there will be hammering and other loud metallic noises. Someone I know recommended something like this and I wanted to ask if you thought it would be a good fit?
Thank you so much for this incredible video! 💝 Thanks for your nice and clear explanations I've bought this mic 🌟 Now I'm another happy user of this top-notch gadget! I've already recorded a couple of videos and used this mic for doing several webinars. I very happy and proud of my decision of purchasing 😄👍
Just doing pre-production tests on audio, so great timing! Have to say though, on my pro-monitors the plosives and saliva in the indoor section of the video is horrible…
Glad this video came in time! Hmm, I can see what you're saying about the saliva part, must be the way I talk... the plosives don't seem too bad to me.
Just wanted to say after watching many videos about this product, yours was the most clear, concise and understandable. thank you from a newbie vlogger.
So if I went with this microphone system, And I already have the RODE Smartlav+, can i use their SC3 adapter with it? I have clipping issues and poor audio quality using it with my phone, but I wondered if using it with the wireless ME, will that improve? Or should I just buy the Rode Lav Go or LavII? I'm basically looking for a solid external lav to use with the wireless ME. thanks.
If you're smartphone recorder app (like Voicememo on iPhones) does not have a gain setting. Then I would just set the RODE ME to Medium Gain and Dynamic Gain Assist. If the app does let you control the recording gain, the check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_UYtIupVpDY.html
Bought 2 of these and talked to RODE customer support for both.. They were factory reset, updated and fully changed and shuts off while.I am teaching and remodeling...several times. I would NOT recommend this mic
Hope to get my hands on one! Very exciting to see all those features inside at that price. Assuming no problems arise in testing it is easily the best value for money for the next year or two.
The ME? Really??? We're on the verge of the release of the PRO and I'm hard-pressed to agree with the ME as a choice, other than if that's all you can afford. We've all heard (and most everyone knows), the story about the creator who hit the button and recorded an entire video (perhaps the greatest video ever) only to find out they didn't plug the mic in. Or they faced some sort of technical difficulty that mucked up the audio or video in-camera. I've had two occasions since I purchased the WirelessGOII a few years ago in which the onboard recording saved my butt and we were able to salvage and create a work around that still gave us great results. This is just not possible with the ME. To my mind, the lack of on-board recording I found most disappointing with the ME and why I wouldn't even consider it today when the GOII and PRO are available. Especially for the beginning creator.
Hey hey Onocoffee! The internal recording is absolutely crucial for a more client based shoot that you and I find ourselves in, 100%, especially if we're solo and don't have a dedicated sound op. For the starter at home its not necessary in my opinion. Not everyone will require a dual channel system. Most new creators are solo and at a home studio or outside in the garden/workshop. This is why I say 90% of new creators should buy it. For us on more critical shoots, the RODE GO II and upcoming PRO is definitely the way to go for the price.
@@TLDR_filmmaker I hear you. I just think of all the newer creators who come into the forums with their disaster stories! I think something like this would help them avoid that heartache. However, I fully realize that many new creators don't necessarily have $400 to drop on a wireless system! I know I didn't when I started out!
Greetings from another creator. Great Video man!❤ I bought these recently after watching your video. They're good but I don't understand how do you make them sound so full while there're clipped on your shirt. They do sound perfect when I hold them directly in front of my mouth but when I clip em on my shirt they sound so distant and the quality also drops. Please don't forget to answer bud ❤ Thank you
Thank you so much! It's long overdue and I genuinely feel more creative in my space now compared to before. Will continue to do my best with this new setup!
I have not. Taking a quick looks like it could be a rebranded white label produced based on the Holleyland Lark M1 design with some added features. The question will be what corners are cut to get the price down. Aside from building materials, the places I would look into is its battery life, its recording at 16bit instead of 24bit so that it can fit more on its 4gb internal mem. And then lastly how aggressive is their own internal algorithms on the mic capsule. Those are all my concerns if I was to invest in it for work. But for creators that need to stretch every dollar until their business is viable. Budget is still the way to go to get started until they can begin investing into the name brands with a longer track record.
How to do it for macbook? i can not get it to work. it doesnt want to paired. i press the pair in the app. but it can not pair. its keep saying unpaired.
It does not pair to a macbook like a bluetooth headset. Simply use the supplied USB-C Cable and connect your Receiver into the Macbook. It will then show up in your Sound System settings under "input"
HEY HEY Jason r u gon do a review and comparison of the new rode wireless pro? also there is a new budget 7artisans mic that came out, would love to hear your opinion
Im hoping to get a review unit for sure. It's gonna be quite a lot of tests to perform on that thing! 7artisans, my guess, is probably using last generations tech inside to keep the price low. Think Original RODE GO with some new stuff from the RODE GO II. Should perform decently well for people that need to stretch every dollar until they grow their business to start investing into the name brands that have a longer track record in the space.
Essentially yes. The only feature thats not in this system is the "pad" feature that was introduced in the RODE Wireless GO II for very loud recording situations.
I have Rode Wireless Me for a few months. Last week I even bought a separate transmitter. It is awesome because it just works. It is so simple to use that I do not regret that I haven't bought Rode Wireless Go II for almost the same money.
These would work perfectly for audio recording as well. RODE has their own record app you can use on your smartphone or whatever audio recorder you plug your mic into. That being said you may also want to check out the RODE Wireless PRO system which the transmitter has its own onboard recorder making it so that you do not need to plug it into anything. Heres my review of that system here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aVS2X5P6hW8.html
Hey hey Brian! I most likely won't be reviewing the Godox Verso. I took a look at its internal recording format and they are recording in 48khz/16bit. The 16bit while should work fine most of the time. The RODE's 32bit is a much better safety net overall.
While it technically can work for AMSR, its performance may depend on what kind of ASMR you are doing. If its sounds of objects like fabrics, paper etc. You'll definitely want to keep the mic quite close and possible turn off the Gain Assist and manually set your levels since Gain Assist is more geared towards voices and not other sounds. If its vocal ASMR, I think more people use a large condenser mics like the "Yeti microphone" to really get the nuance of your voice. Otherwise with the RODE ME, I would say you'd want to have the windmuff attached so that your break doesn't blow too harshly into the capsule. Hope this helps
It does not seem like it will be compatible according to RODE's website. I also feel it might not work because the RODE ME's front plate seems to protrude out by just a little bit compared to the RODE GO II.
Hey hey QQkamran! I would not suggest a lav rather I would suggest a on-camera shotgun microphone if you're on a budget. The reason is because Lav's are not able to handle super loud sound pressure that may arise from cooking, chopping, sizzling. You will want to try shotgun mics instead. The two I use the most are these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NmQ2ED_TO9I.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b_ijgoO93e0.html Hope this helps!
The perform pretty similarly in terms of sound. The cheaper one requires you to connect it to the computer if you want to turn on certain features like "Pad" for very loud sounds. The NTG has more fine control with its analog volume dial, and you can access more features with the buttons instead of plugging it into the computer. Those are the main differences.
You will be heard but it will not sound full. You voice will sound thin. I would check out my latest video on a very cool smaller mic that easy to wear and won't break the bank: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mjK3nkD0yaU.html
My “wireless me” just came in today, it works great on my iPhone, but for some reason it doesn’t pick up any audio on my Sony camera, is there any solution? I’m watching a lot of other videos and they just plug it in and it works… is there a setting in my phone or camera that I don’t know about that’ll help??
Make sure you are using the correct audio cable going into your Sony. The kit came with two. One is for phones with headphone jacks and the other is for cameras. Use the cord where both jacks have TWO stripes instead of the one that has TWO and THREE stripes.
@@TLDR_filmmaker thx you for the reply, it was my personal mistake and I feel ashamed😭😂 I was inserting the cord into the headphone input… not realizing I had to open the side tab on my camera for the red mic input🤦🏽♂️ super simple, just had a weird brain moment lol
Hey hey Will! The Fulaim X5 looks to be a nice budget system with plenty of features to boot from the RODE GO 2 and DJI. The places I can see where they cut corners is the internal recording at 16bit instead of 24bit. I didn't see a battery test from the top ranked videos, but if I had to guess its probably around 5 hours (Two hours short of the RODE). Lastly the internal mic doesn't sound too bad, will need some EQ depending on the voice quality. Based on the tests I saw. I would say the Fulaim is for someone that is in need of a dual channel system and needs to stretch every dollar possible as they begin their content creation journey. Once their business is growing and in the green, I would recommend to begin moving up to more established brands that have been around longer. In terms of RODE ME. If the beginning content creator is only recording themselves in their own studio space and needs to walk around for their videos. I would still suggest the RODE ME at this time. The internal recording of the Fulaim X5 won't have as much use in these situations. The RODE ME's Gainassist will really get the beginner going and getting correct audio levels every time once they've set it up. Just my thoughts, hope it helps!
Ah, I thought you were talking about the Gain Assist feature. To a certain degree, yes, its like the Larks. The twist being that they assume a beginner creator may be interviewing people so they just have the second mic on the RX instead of having a second TX out of the gate.
Hello, I ask for your advise on the following set up. Now I have a gh5 with an old wireless go 1 mic. I am thinking of upgrading my sound input on my camera. Later I may upgrade my camera, a 5mk2 or gh6. I will see. The set up I have in mind is Go Me icw a splitter cable, the panasonic xlr 1 and 2 vxlrpro adapters. My assumption is that this way I can control 2 channels much more than just connecting the Me to my gh5. I also plan to buy FCP. Given the audio options of FCP I assume that an xlr 1 with two vxlrpro adapters is no longer needed? Is the signal out of the Me balanced or not? Setting my camera on -12db, the Me on -6db? My goal is to improve my sound quality input on camera, or is my xlr set up just expensive and not needed when using FCP? Pls advise and thank you for your most informative reviews so far 😄 Frans, Bali
Hey hey Frans! If you are looking to have two wireless systems. I would not recomment putting a RODE Wireless GO 1 and a RODE Wireless ME next to each other. The original system had a hard time keeping a signal in some situations when two receivers are close to each other on the camera. To save you some money between needing to purchase a Pana XLR 1 and adapters. You may want to consider the RODE Wireless PRO I just reviewed or the older RODE Wireless GO II. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aVS2X5P6hW8.html These are dual systems so you can get two transmitters into one setup. Both systems offer a more fine volume adjustments to accommodate for the GH5 mic level. I also have a video to teach you how to setup your audio into the camera. Every filming situation is different so I can't give exact settings that will work for you, you have to measure it yourself with how you speak and where you film. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_UYtIupVpDY.html Hope this helps!
