THUMBS UP for sure! Thank you sir, for being the ONLY PERSON on planet Earth to show us how to connect it to a GoPro (Media Mod). I've searched for hours and hours for that short few seconds at 04:34. All the literature only mentions connections to laptops, computers, iPhones, and Android. The word "GoPro" is NEVER uttered as if it's a classified secret. THANKS, I salute you!
DJI's mic is more worth the money in this case! For one the simple charging pod just makes it not only portable but super functional as well! Then the mic itself just works incredibly even at a far distance!
With the Wireless GO II you've got the option of recording in merged (both mics on L and R) or split (one mic on L and one on R). Sounds like he is recording in split mode so his mic is only recording to the L. This can be edited onto both channels in post-production!
Hi. Try connecting sc 17/22 (type c to type c ) cable to gopro directly to gopro … will this work with out those trs and trss cables if possible with out gopor mob
When you did the outdoor test I only heard sound in my left earphone, would you have to use both senders to get a stereo sound setup, or can you send the sound out to both left and right with one sender?
In this case you have to switch the RØDE Wireless GO II receiver to 'Merged' mode. The audio received from one sender is output to both channels then, and your camera records it on the left and right channel equally.
I've been using a Rode SmartLav+ lavalier Mic for my Canon M50 and iPhone ..how does the quality of sound differ between the 2 mics and how did you connect the wireless to the GoPro 9?
Shawn that's amazing that Rode released a second version to the wireless go, and the fact that you can get huge distance now without losing interference is a big plus, thanks again for posting as always great video and great work.
This is definitely the solution we’ve been looking for. We do a lot of audio recording while driving our diesel truck and the engine drowns out our voices on the GoPro 9. We got the media mod that really helps a lot and is almost perfect but I think this would be amazing. God bless. Kevin
@OatmealCremePie no worries mate, I use it as a vlogging rig so I can point the camera anywhere and my audio doesn’t change, also for interviews so I can have mics on both me and the person I’m talking to. Cheers Steve
I thought I was the only one getting audio in left channel that had to be balanced in editing. Your unedited audio sounds the same. Why is it balanced on to left? Have tried switching cables but nothing works. Though the balance is even on both left and right, if connected to mobile. Please respond.
Just wondering if you might know if the GoPro 9 uses a left and right channel for the audio? I have the 9 and the DJI action and found out that the DJI only records on the left channel and if you want to use 2 mics you have to merge them as you did in the video. At this time with the GP9 still freezing up and clicking in the audio I am reluctant to buy accessories, hopefully this last update has fixed the problem but I already know I still get the clicking. Great review !
The GoPros record stereo audio, so you can fully utilize the 'Split Mode' of the Wireless GO II. Btw, I was very disappointed to find out that the Insta360 ONE R features just mono audio recording as well.
Great video, thanks for putting it together. Question. Have you actually tried recording on the GoPro hero 9 with the Rode Wireless 2? I have tried and the signal is way too high and I get clipping. I have dropped the gain to -30, and tried standard mic, and powered mic (no boost) on the GoPro. If you have had success, would you PLEASE share your settings? Thanks, Mike
What audio levels does your receiver show? Are you staying in the 'green zone'? I've set the receiver's output level to -12 db and chose 'Powered Mic' on the GoPro, yellow spikes in the audio levels do not clip for me.
Unfortunately, a purely digital connection between the Wireless GO II and a GoPro (USB-C to USB-C) does not work. You still need to have either the Media Mod or the Mic Adapter to connect both devices.
Great review Shawn, I just bought it last week and I knew you would be the man to provide best tips and tricks!!! Can u also use the Rode Videomic ntg connect to it via USB c to receiver? cheers sandy
Bought this for my Motorcycle vids/vlogs. I'm thinking it's best to purchase a lav mic to feed inside my helmet. Putting the wirless rode mic in my helmet might be a bit crowded? Your thoughts and thanks for helping out this lady motorcycle rider 😁
Is the transmitter the plugs into the GoPro waterproof ? I’m looking at these to use on my motorcycle, so the transmitter will be on the side of my helmet . And the receiver under my pillion seat for exhaust audio . And also, if I’m using plugged into my GoPro, when I turn on the camera while riding, will the mics connect automatically to each other ? Many thanks for your clear review 👍
Great video, thanks! Wow, that mic is expensive!!!! But I can see where it could really come in handy. Question on the danger to sound stupid, but I need clarification: If I were to put the camera into one of my cages and add one transmitter to the camera while keeping the other one with me, would the camera now have BOTH the bird sounds inside the cage and my voice from further away on it? I hope I made myself understandable.
My go pro 9 and rode mic aren't working even with the media mod attachment. Once plugged in the sound at the bottom has one green and doesn't increase on any mod change. I've used the c USB attachment, the audio jack, nothing...
This is awesome, may I please ask you one thing!? Can I use SC 16 cable to connect RODE wireless Go ll to GoPro black hero 9 without microphone adapter!?
Hiya, I bought the wireless go after watching this and it’s paired with a GoPro hero 10 but I’m getting a horrible buzzing noise any idea of a fix please?
Wonderful review! I was about to get the original version because bloggers recommended it. Well, after reading the amazon reviews, its safe to say, I am glad I held off. Glad you did a review on the Version 2, I am getting one now for my Hero 9 media set up!
Charging the Rode Wireless Go II is such a hassle that it completely throws off your workflow. It's a huge pain. I would love to have the DJI mic setup if only I had more money to spend on them 😐 Other than this issue, the Wireless Go II is a bang for the buck, for sure.
Great review, as always! One question; if I record both microphones into the Hero 9 via Media Mod, will I get the sound from the microphones on separate channels (L/R) or will I get one mixed mono channel with the sound from both microphones?
hello Air Photography 👋, question, am I able to use this product strictly from my go pro, and not on person, just to have high quality audio recording from the GoPro, as I'm recording people, conversations and not vlogging or the like
Two hours now can't get Rode Go 2 to record audio on GoPro Hero 9 Black... Update Edit: I've purchased the Ulanzi Metal Cage. Now half a dozen videos later it seems I need a mic adapter😞 kinda wish I'd got the Media Mod Now. Probably will. I do Lawn Care. The Ulanzi Cage will be useful still.
If you know how-to, can you make a video showing the best way to attach the Wireless Go II Transmitter to the new Insta360 One X2 so it can remain invisible and in line with a selfie stick?
When we connect rode to gopro with media mod, do we have to change any settings? Like activate external mic or smt like that? I see some options, which r standard, powered n etc
Hi. I have GoPro 9 and I think there is no hot shoe on it. You have 2. How come? At distance test (2:52) audio is recorded in mono. Do I need to have both transmitters to record in stereo?
So with this little set up Melly and myself could wear one each in mono mode using both at one time? I think that is correct isn’t it? Great review by the way. I hope you are getting these products for free because you will help them sell a ton of them!
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.
I’m actually quite pleased with it. I’ve actually had the set for a couple weeks now and have used it almost daily for some of my projects and couldn’t be happier with the performance of quality
May I ask you if the wireless go can attached on GoPro 5 and 7 with its regular skeleton case or do you need a special media mod to attach the receiver? Thanks.
Nice review. Did v1 also have the backup capability that you discussed towards the end of the video? Also I presume that all of the extra cables for connecting to your phone do not come in the standard package and cost extra?
Mister Steeve nice video. Thumb up👍for this amazing review... I just wonder, if you have a time to help me and tell me which is the correct name of this magnetic boucles for the transmiter and receiver on RODE WIRELESS GO 2? I wanna buy them for my RODE WIRELESS GO 2 MICROPHONE SINGLE SET (which is connected to my GOPRO HERO via GOPRO HERO MEDIA MOD), one - for receiver, and one - for microphone on transmiter... And just one more little help, which budget RODE Lavalier microphone I can buy it for myself and for my video streaming, to be compatible with the RODE WIRELESS GO 2 and GOPRO HERO MEDIA MOD for easier transformation in the live stream? Thank's in advance and greetings from the Serbia... EDIT: I found the name of this set, or to be precisely it's called RØDE FLEXCLIP GO SET and for my second question I found that's the best option for me is the RØDE LAVALIER GO microphone, but for now will be good also BOYA BY-M1 PRO Lavalier microphone... Now is time to save money for the new RØDE streaming product or RØDE STREAMER X.... 😉 😉 😉
Can any one tell me if can be used as a common mic 🎤 like if i put in centre and few people having a conversation will it record all the voices around something like a rode boomstick mic
why does my go pro only record left audio when I plug in rodes wireless 2 mic? is there a setting I have wrong? the mics are merged as I'm only using 1 transmitter Please help
There is a setting I can’t remember how to do it offhand. Because use it Elizas both transmitters to record stereo one transmitter per channel left and right. So you have to switch it that one receiver will record to both channels. I had the same issue at first
Thanks for the detailed vid! One question, on the GoPro, when you’re plugging through the Media Mod, what setting do you use for the mic? Standard, or Powered Mic?

DJI's mic is more worth the money in this case! For one the simple charging pod just makes it not only portable but super functional as well! Then the mic itself just works incredibly even at a far distance!
Thanks for showing how the receiver connects to the cold shoe. I searched far and wide to answer such a simple question.
Hey Shawn (Shaun?), it sounds like the audio from the Wireless Go 2 is coming mostly from the Left. Is this an editing issue?
With the Wireless GO II you've got the option of recording in merged (both mics on L and R) or split (one mic on L and one on R). Sounds like he is recording in split mode so his mic is only recording to the L. This can be edited onto both channels in post-production!
He forgot to put the audio as dual channel mono
this was very helpful showing how it can be used in different settings and options. the fact the clip is also a cold shoe is amazing!
Nice upgrade but not as game-changing as the DJI wireless mic!
Is dji wireless mic fit in Gopro 10
This dude has every solution of my motovlog and action cam setup!! 💙🔥
Just bought this Go ii today, and your video quickly helped me sort out what it can do... and how to do it. Thanks!

Shawn that's amazing that Rode released a second version to the wireless go, and the fact that you can get huge distance now without losing interference is a big plus, thanks again for posting as always great video and great work.
Rode says it's over 24h of audio recording on the mic itself - for those who were also wondering. Great review - thanks buddy!

Wow, talk about in-depth instruction. Super helpful. So many options and you hit many of them. Thank you.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
I love my wireless go 2 so far. Big improvement Ove the 1st one. Cheers Steve
@OatmealCremePie I’m not sure what you mean? I use these mics on GoPros
@OatmealCremePie no worries mate, I use it as a vlogging rig so I can point the camera anywhere and my audio doesn’t change, also for interviews so I can have mics on both me and the person I’m talking to. Cheers Steve
This video is indeed very informative. The accessories make this a top choice. Thank you for all your consistent product reviews.
I thought I was the only one getting audio in left channel that had to be balanced in editing. Your unedited audio sounds the same. Why is it balanced on to left? Have tried switching cables but nothing works. Though the balance is even on both left and right, if connected to mobile. Please respond.
Well I'm glad I've waited for the DJI Mic! The GO 2 can't to hold a candle to DJI's
Love this vid. Have to say that the gopro 9 test in the field, no sounds at all,,, besides that part. bravo. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you would have to use GoPro's Mic Adapter to connect the receiver to the HERO 5.
Great video, thanks for putting it together.
Question. Have you actually tried recording on the GoPro hero 9 with the Rode Wireless 2? I have tried and the signal is way too high and I get clipping. I have dropped the gain to -30, and tried standard mic, and powered mic (no boost) on the GoPro.

I've set the receiver's output level to -12 db and chose 'Powered Mic' on the GoPro, yellow spikes in the audio levels do not clip for me.
5:58 what's the point for plugging wireless microphone into Boom Microphone?
Thank you for this information. What case is that do you have on your gopro? Where can we get one ourselves?
This was a really useful video. Thanks so much :)
what are the settings to connect the wireless go to the gopro hero 10? do you need to adjust the audio level like 5db? thanks
I know what mic I'll be purchasing... great video! Thanks for all the information
Hello, so with the road wireless mic you don't need a gopro mic adapter? I live in Spain and the gopro mic adapter isn't sold here. Thanks
Unfortunately, a purely digital connection between the Wireless GO II and a GoPro (USB-C to USB-C) does not work.
You still need to have either the Media Mod or the Mic Adapter to connect both devices.
Came here to answer the question: Can I connect my new GoPro H10 to the RØDE Wireless GO II? Many thanks.

Do you need a TRS to TRRS for this set up? I'm thinking about this combo.
Very nice Rode Wireless friend thank you for sharing watching from Japan 🇯🇵
My question is about the casing of the gopro did you used where did you bought and the brand of it?
Charging the Rode Wireless Go II is such a hassle that it completely throws off your workflow. It's a huge pain. I would love to have the DJI mic setup if only I had more money to spend on them 😐 Other than this issue, the Wireless Go II is a bang for the buck, for sure.
can I use one on a Go Pro and one on a iPhone at the same time? Skip the RX? Just us the back up recordings?
Would this also work with a gopro hero 4 black?
Great review, as always! One question; if I record both microphones into the Hero 9 via Media Mod, will I get the sound from the microphones on separate channels (L/R) or will I get one mixed mono channel with the sound from both microphones?
You can configure it to mix the channels or have them on separate channels so you can do what you like with them later
Lovely insight
i`ve listened with headphones , and your test audio is on one chanel recorded ! why ? mine make just like yours ! is that an issue ?
hello Air Photography 👋, question, am I able to use this product strictly from my go pro, and not on person, just to have high quality audio recording from the GoPro, as I'm recording people, conversations and not vlogging or the like

Very nice. I’m definitely considering doing some additional narration in my videos this year. It might be something to consider.
Wow. I just bought my first ever go pro (9) and I want to get all these accessories

Can you review dji wireless mic with gopro?
Yes I do plan on reviewing it once it is available. However DJI has it listed that it’s available for sale until January
