Right. This is a long one. Rode Wireless GO was my goto wireless microphone, it's that simple. The Rode Wireless GO II is now my goto wireless microphone. This is no doubt the best possible purchase you could make if you're looking to invest in a wireless microphone system for filmmaking. No other system is so well polished, so well designed, this is it. I bought the Rode Wireless GO with my own money 2 years ago, now, Rode sent me the Wireless GO II, and I couldn't be happier. I love it. Thank You.
If you have any questions at all about the Rode Wireless GO II, post them below in the comments and I'll make sure I get back to you.

I’m a funeral director in Cyprus and as you can imagine in these crazy times family’s want videos as they cannot get here. This system has lifted my video audio quality through the roof. I’m very happy with this system 👍👍
Yes, I can imagine! It's an excellent system, I'm glad you're happy with 👌🏻
I bought mine now waiting to arrive. Accessories that I bought Rode Lavalier Go. I’m so excited like a kid at Christmas.
You are going to love it! It's an excellent, excellent system! The Lav GO is incredible when it comes to sound quality!
I want these sooooo much! But I can’t justify buying them yet! I need to make more videos but this review was epic man! So informative as always excellent work Phillip
They are great Dan!! I think I invested in the Wireless GO original when I had just over 100 subs, it was one of the best investments in terms of gear I ever made, so psyched about this new version. Thanks Dan, this was a long one, but deep.
This is amazing....am thinking of buying another one....the way you explained it is so simple and anybody can understand...you are amazing!!
Thank You Richard! This is an incredible set of wireless mics, I absolutely love using them!
You showed us how well it works at a remote location with clear line of sight but how does it work in a crowded location?
Sure, in a crowded area no problems, I've used it a lot since this review outside, inside, and absolutely no problems at all. I can honestly very highly recommend this set.
I have spent so much money thanks to you... lol I even made a nice hard case to store all my audio stuff. These work great.
Now that's not a bad thing, right? 😂
Creative and excellent work Phillip, love your style of delivery, I just ordered this, it’s a much needed innovation for the current shooting requirements
Thank You Maxwell! It's an excellent, excellent system! I've even been using it for some VO work via the Interview Go, it just sounds so clean. Let me know how you like it.
I really think this + DJI OSMO ACTION + DJI Mini 1/2/3 would make for a great day out in nature
They sure could! This mic is an excellent system!
Love those samples at the beginning, thanks!
Thank You!
Thank you.
Two words that are easy to say but not said enough.
You're welcome Jerry, thank You!
Another great review as always Phillip. The only problem is that I went out and purchased the Rode Wireless GO a couple of months ago. If I knew that the GO II was coming out I would have waited for it. Nether the less I am still happy with the Wireless GO. Keep the vids coming mate as they are interesting, entertaining and informative. P.S. Love the RADIO voice:-) P.P.S. A BIG THUMBS UP. Stay safe.
The Rode Wireless GO original is an excellent choice, and I love using it. I'm still very happy with it, the Wireless GO II is a great upgrade but the original still holds its own very well. Thank You Kym, I'll keep it going, working hard on the radio voice 🤜🏻🤛🏻
amazing options. thanks Rode. This is coming on my wish list.
Incredible options! This goes everywhere I go from now on.
Excellent work Phillip I have a question .I do not understand if I want to use only one receiver what should I do?
Nice explain thanks for ur efforts 💪
Thank You!
This was fantastic, and I happen to love your radio voice! 😁😁😁
Thank You! I'm working hard on it to get it perfected. Just got some new headphones for my birthday, so can't wait to test them out.
I need to have an interview with 3 people, what would be the best way to use these to hear all 3 people.?
This will work well with 2 people, when I film 3 people I use a 2nd camera and another Rode GO.
I just got the marki last month and after watching this I already want the mark ii 😭
I know how you feel!! It's an excellent mic set, I 110% recommend it!
Hi Phillip, perfect review! Congrats! Can you please tell me what camera are you using in this video? Tks a lot!
Thanks Ricardo, I use the Sony a7r3.
Just got my Go II in the mail today and tried to install the software for windows it says can't install on a 64-bit system I have windows 8 on a laptop..
There's no way I'm changing the operating system of my laptop.
I can't believe the software designers' at Rode would do something this short-sighted~~~!!!
A $300 microphone that you can't install the software to unless what you have a 32-bit operating system and/or the latest computer o.s.?
If there's a walk around or they have a different version o.k.
Otherwise, everybody needs to know this so they don't get stuck with just a microphone set that never connects to a computer.
What about situation which 2 when you have 2 people in interview and you have them talking how you gonna mix the audio levels? I don't get it haha
What'll happen then is you have two audio tracks, one from each person recorded on one receiver, so basically two mono tracks as a stereo track, pretty cool stuff, we use it a lot on interviews.
Nice job Phillip. Always great content!😎
Thank You Chris, glad you liked it 🔥
When i was buying the original rode wireless go, i looked somewhat a lot of reviews. And not one said the absolute truth that the windmuff totally s*it! I cannot get to my head what were they thinking at rode when they released the original go. Now i`m using it with a plastic band to hold the windmuff in place.. Enough ranting from me. Nice review Phillip like always!
The windmuff is the worst thing in the world, it was no doubt spawn like the orcs in LOTR, in the deepest pits of hell. I hate it. I love the Wireless GO original, just hate that damn fluffy piece of satan's ass. This though, this is another level, Rode really came rolling on fire. This thing will never fall off, I tried everything (except for twisting), and it stays on. Thanks Riku, if you feel like selling and upgrading, I totally recommend it!
@@PhillipSkraba 🤣 yes thats right! 200e was a stretch to buy that thing and thats why i’m ”little” dissapointed at that. But it works like a trains toilet if you leave the effin windmuff out of the equation.
Yes, it was disappointing for me too, it was a lot of cash, but no doubt my favourite wireless mic ever. A classic. This is a new era for it, and I’m probably most of the time going to be using it solo like my original as I’m usually a one man band.
When Rode GO 2 do not pairing: 1. Switch on the receiver. 2. Switch on the two microphones. 3, Press and hold the number two button "on the receiver" for three seconds until the Wifi icon starts flashing. 4. Then click button number two once and wait for the connection. 5. For the second microphone, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Thanks for the info!
Perfect video!
Thank You!
Phillip thank you for sharing the details this was a really great video. I do have one question though when you were showing how you could set the feature to backup always or off, I understand what always does but I'm curious how is backup initiated, is there a button or what triggers it to backup is that manually initiated. Thank you....
As Always great review mate! Have a great day!
Thank You Mehran! Have a great day too!
Two Questions
First: Here is what I wanna do: On my iPhone use Rode wireless go 2 as an external mic, charge the phone and hear the Zoom call. Any clue how I might be able to do it?
Second: Can I use the mic, Go Facebook Live and charge the phone at the same time?
That should be doable, can your iPhone charge wirelessly? Is it the iPhone 8 and above?
@@PhillipSkrabaYes it can charge wirelessly. Any other way you might be familiar with tho?
That would be your only option considering the lightning port would be taken by the mic.
Brilliant review, just bought the rode wireless go II👍. Which program do you use for edit your videos. Greetings from Norway🇧🇻
Thank You! Its an excellent system, I'm loving using it! I use Final Cut Pro X to edit everything. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
@@PhillipSkraba thanks for the quick respons👍
Anytime!
Great video!
Thank You!
Your channel is awesome. Does Rode Wireless Go 2 work with Gopro mic Adapter? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Sure! Any microphone will work with the mic adapter, even the Hero 9. It’s a superb mic! Thank You 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@PhillipSkraba I have seen in FB group where someone said that rode wireless go 2 didn't work with gopro 3.5mm mic adapter. His gopro still uses its internal mic and not the rode wireless go 2. have you checked with adapter?
If they let the rode central app do BATCH EXPORTING, i will buy 2 sets!
I'm sure they have that in update plans 👌🏻
Hi Phillip! You just inspired me to add this to my list! 👍I’m still using an ancient Sony lav system (which is great but super bulky) and Rode video mic pro, but I love how small this system is. A question for you: would one need a media mod for this to work with hero9, or could you just record separate audio straight onto the rode wireless go 2? I love your videos. Keep them coming.
This is an incredible system, I love it and use it a LOT! For the Hero 9 you'd either need the 3.5mm audio adapter or the media mod. Thank You Lucy!
need one .....
You'll love it! It's an excellent system, especially for what you're doing being out and about so much! The audio quality is 👌🏻 VO is great too, just dropping a Mini 2 video tomorrow with this as my travel VO mic.
@@PhillipSkraba maybe with that mic it could improve my broadcast voice to near perfect legend status like you 😉😂
Hell yes it would!! haha, not sure about legend, but working on it Disney family!
@@PhillipSkraba haha take care buddy
You too!
So can you record a podcast/interview with nothing except the Rode II? As in no need for Iphone or other equitment?
Sure! You can use it as a stand alone microphone.
How do you listen to 2 people talk while recording at the same time? Can each of you plug in headphones in the MIC jack of the unit attached to you? Or is there some wireless function? Meaning is it possible to not only record your conversation...but can you communicated with each other when far apart? I want to use with my friend and I while riding bikes and using my phone to take video..so I assume it would record audio on both my phone AND units themselves?
You probably want Bluetooth helmets that connect to your phones.
Time markers would be great... Rode fan ok. Where do I skip to, to get some specs??
Comparison with F2-BT coming up?
- Quality presentation - substance isn't quite up to the same level in the early part.
I get that you wanted to build tension. But people are short on time - there are 7.653.498.567 more videos to check...
Yes, total Rode fan! I have 110% faith in their mics, never failed on me. I have a load of other mics, but I feel safe using theirs. F2-BT looks okay, but I prefer the form factor of the Rode.
No tension, just me I guess, and the reason for the lengthy video is because I went deep, balls deep, so you wouldn't have to waste your time on the other 7,653,498,567 videos out there. This is basically all you need to know. Crack open a beer, feet up and get some Netflix on now 😂
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks for the reply! Truth is, while there is overlap between F2 and Rode W Go, they have a different focus.
I was quite pleased to see, that Rode integrated 32Bit Float! That's what I wanted to know in the first 3 seconds lol...
Price wise, it also depends what you want to do with it.
Could you tell me what you spent on the extras, beyond the basic 3 box package?
Did you talk about time code at all? Because if you did, I missed it...
The extra 8 bits headroom really helps, clipping becomes a lost issue. Price wise, I think it's quite fair, I'm sure it'll drop a little soon. The accessories, 2 Magclips GO's, 2 Interview GO's, 2 Lav GO's, a basic set up for dual interviews, maybe another $200 for that. No, I didn't mention time code, I always clapper board my hands to sync, too little time, too much to do. The last time I personally used time code was in 2007 on a Red camera 🙈
@@PhillipSkraba I just watched Curtis Judd's video on the Rode Pod W Go, and its apparently 32 Bit, but NOT 32 Bit Float - it can still clip - which he tested.
I still think that set is a good idea - maybe Rode hasn't worked out the bugs yet, or if its designed without float, I'll definitely stick to the F2. Once 32Bit Float, always 32Bit Float...
As for time code, its pretty nice, to keep your video and audio synced, without having to split tracks and manually aligning them with your footage...
I think Rode still is polishing some parts of the system, so I’m sure they’ll get the kinks out, I hope that goes for the 32bit float too as that would come in handy if someone really can’t adjust their gain, in the meantime it would be advisable to have a safety channel rolling if you’re in a situation where the audio could get hot. Yes, I agree with you on the time code, especially on larger projects.
I have both the original one plus the new go II. They work perfect and the new firmware 1.60 is super:-) I subscribed to your channel too:-)
Both are fantastic, I agree with you! I am a big Rode fan, I have full trust in them. Welcome to the channel!
How do u connect phone to rode
What kind of esr/headphones should be plugged into the wg2 receiver, a rts or rtts?
I use a simple pair of Sony analogue headphones, they do the job, about $10.
Excellent, informative video. At 0:23 you say “using only ONE…in stereo” Could you please explain? Thank you.
Thank You Anton. Sure, I have just one transmitter turned on and in stereo mode. You don't need to use both of them.
@@PhillipSkraba thanks. great video. do use the "merged" setting for stereo ? it doesn't seem to be stereo in my camera. one channel is a lot stronger.
Great video! Can I plug sennheiser mke 600 into the transmitter? The mke 600 can convert XLR into 3.5mm jack! Thanks 🙏
If you have a 3.5mm jack on it, sure!
@@PhillipSkraba That's wonderful! Thanks^^
Great review - thank you :-) How do you rate these vs the Hollyland Lark 150s?
Thank You Kyle. If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the Rode up every single time. I have so much trust in Rode, the quality of sound, the range, the user interface, the internal recording, the build quality, it's a completely different level, go with the Rode, you won't regret it.
Those mics looks super awesome bits of kit, do they connet to GoPro Cameras at all as I have the Hero 7 and MAX 360?
They are awesome!! I use mine with my GoPro camera with the 3.5mm adapter and it works perfectly, I dropped a video on that recently.
@@PhillipSkraba Cool I will go and check it out. Thanks Phillip
Here you go - ua-cam.com/video/ACfYNxURp_0/v-deo.html
I have a GoPro max for 360 recording on my motorcycle. There is no way to plug into it because of waterproofing and the cables would show up in the video. I record separate and match up in post. The hero 9 has a media adapter that supposedly you can direct connect to make everything one if needed. I also use a dji osmo pocket with a dji 3.5 adapter and can plug directly into that and it works as well.
@@concealed-tech My Hero 7 is the white version so it does not take any external mic. Not checked the 360 yet
Phillip, where did you get your cool sign, I would like to get one made.
Mine was made by one of my best friends, it's a traditional neon (which I broke once), but he doesn't make them anymore, so it's best to look for someone local who does that.
Amazing technology! Will it connect to my phone for filming and recording or do I have to add audio in post.
It is an incredible build on the original. Yes!! It will! It will connect to iPhone, Android, your computer, cameras. The audio quality is excellent as is the connection.
They make a cable specifically for the rode 2 to record with an iPhone or android device. Connects straight up and sounds excellent.
Nice B-rolls! Nice vid as usual !
Thank You! Love the Rode Wireless GO II, just love it!
Yeah, he's good with that :)
Awesome video🥇
Thank You!
What use will you have for the wireless go 1? I am going to purchase the wireless go 2, for cases where I have 2 subjects. I was planning on selling my wireless go 1 since I didn’t see a need to hold onto it - what am I missing?
I'm a gear hoarder. I think they make shows about people like me. I also like having back-ups just in case I'm in dire need. If you're not a gear hoarder, sure, you can sell the Rode Wireless Go original.
Saramonic Blink 500 tx vs Go II which one you recommend?
Rode Wireless Go 2 hands down! You won't regret getting these 👌🏻
@@PhillipSkraba thanks 🙏
How easy is it to use for Android or PC? Will it sync with the native cell phone video app to stream crispy audio via Facebook or Instagram? Thanks!
I've used it with my Macbook, iPhone, GoPro, Sony A7III, and by itself with the internal recording, and it's super easy. Plugs in via the 3.5mm or via a usb-c to usb or usb-c to your Android or PC, and works as a normal external microphone. It's very easy to use, I've had zero problems when connecting it.
Hi Phillip, Ive been hearing some horror stories about interference, audio dropping, and not nice sound....have you experienced this since?
No, never, I've been using these since this video a LOT, superb system Ross,
@@PhillipSkraba am thinking about getting these for a wedding
An excellent choice!
Is this worth the investment over the original wireless go worth it?
I love it, and I think if Rode wouldn't have sent me this I would have bought it anyway, as it has so many helpful features I'm excited they introduced over the original version.
@@PhillipSkraba Thank you the prompt response buddy 👍
Great, what record levels u use in the camera? And wireless go setting? How do u know it will be good? Thanks
That all depends on how close you are, the ambient noise, you'd have to set both up so the sound is clear and there is no peaking. I usually have my A7III on audio level 8 when using external mics, and then I set the Rode accordingly.
@@PhillipSkraba thanks! Do u try to be around -12db?
Yes, usually so, I try not to pop over -6db.
It’s the 3rd time that your are putting out a product video and I get that product same day haha ... what settings are you using ? Volume 1 on your camera ? And almost max on the receiver and microphone?
Great vid 👍🏻
If I put the lvl on my camera (Sony a7siii and Sony a7iii ) higher then 1 or 2 I get a lot of noice .
haha, no way! This thing is awesome! I'm on 8 I think, and -20, something like that. I have next to no idea how to set up audio, but I play with it till it feels clean. I need to ask Rode to give me a lesson!!
Really? 1 on the camera?? That's super low.
@@PhillipSkraba yeh ... for perfect sound and low noice I did use lvl 1 on camera using Saraminic Blink500 Pro but I did send them back coz I got a lot of interruptions when driving a car hope that is not gonna happen with the Rode ... have to test them out until Saturday coz I do product car presentation for Mercedes Benz and I need something reliable.
@@PhillipSkraba if you get something from rode how to set them up perfectly the let us know and make a vid please. No much Videos out there about something like that . The only thing is that for you is gonna be boring to test audio for couple of hours or maybe days haha.
Do you aim for -12db when bringing it into editing usually?
That's what I am for yes, I try not to go above -6db
Are you trained n NLP?
I'm afraid not. Well, not consciously anyway.
@@PhillipSkraba - Ah, ok, just the subliminal messaging in your videos is too class. So thought you were. Thanks for the video.
I like psychology, and I also like being honest when filming these. I'll have to start reading up on NLP though!
Lols, I do know yet, I got me some.
It'll be "perfect" when we get the mobile app.
The mobile app will be most welcome, but it still works very well without it. I'm sure Rode will drop it pretty soon though...
@@PhillipSkraba works beautifully. Doubly so when all I have to bring is a waist pack and a drone bag and i can leave the laptop at home.
That's true, let's hope they drop it soon then so we can edit on the go, especially as so many people are using iPads now.
@@PhillipSkraba keep up the good work! And thanks for sharing with us your thoughts on the newest top notch gear.
Thank You! I'm more than happy to, I'm very excited about it, I never got round to reviewing the Wireless GO, so I thought I'd dive super deep into the II.
Damn ~~~
Thank You!
