The Wireless Pro WITHOUT the wind cover sounds almost as good as the Wireless Go II WITH the wind cover at speed. That's absolutely insane. Also, just a single frame after half an hour WITH temperature difference is kind of incredible.
What does the 32 bit float sound like if it is in someones pocket? I shoot wedding and would have to use a lav with these Rodes...which means I will not get the 32 bit recording unless I use the onboard recording from the transmitter in the grooms pocket or brides dress...any suggestions?
I have no use for 80% of the things you review but I've been watching your stuff for a long time and I keep coming back because I find you genuinely entertaining. Glad you're still making videos!
Totally picked up the Wireless PRO last week and it has been my go to mic since! With a couple adjustments on a mixer it sounds as good as my SM7Bs, yet WAY more versatile!
I’ve missed you Jet. I’ve been studying for a year and I’ve missed so much. Graduated now and so I’m looking for a mic to record self tapes with and remembered you! Great review as always!
Great way to really push the limits of sound gear! I vote Gene gets to test more mics while riding & FPV shooting! Having a run & gun-audio recording w/ out having to worry too much. I want syncing to be as effortless as possible especially when using discreet camera set up in work flow/ 1st person POV
@@ILLAILLSIf you get a lav you don't need this new Rode anymore , and I don't think the lav would be fixed to the rode also so Its not an possibility unfortunately. So 3D priting or paint scotch job like for cars
I immediately ordered these when I saw the release. They are so good! No more peaking! So many features and that charging case is fantastic. Also kudos to rode for keeping the price down; the kit comes with so much for 400 bucks
See, that's the problem with content creators. Nothing is ever wrong with the current setup until something new comes out. At the end of the day take the information you get with a grain of salt. You won't get an honest review from anyone on anything until the next best thing comes out.
You’re watching promoted videos incorrectly. YOU listen to the results and YOU decide if they’re good. The review is going to tell you about details like what it’s like to live with and any problems that came up.
Can’t wait to get mine today! Gonna do a comparison between these and my Sennheiser G4’s. Been using the G3 and G4’s forever so I can see these slotting in there with all these insane features.
I'm stoked! I preordered this unit and got notified that it shipped today! I've been limping along with the Wireless pro II but some clipped audio recordings and the non-locking lav had me planning to move on in the next month or two. Perfect timing from Rode!
How do you like them? I'm thinking about getting them because I get interference with my Sennheiser MKE2 lav mics on my GO ii system. Have you tried any non-Rode lav mics with this system, and if so have you experienced similar issues or is the interference gone?
@@DanielAx So far I'm loving the system. I haven't had any interference issues yet but I also haven't used them in any challenging conditions yet. I usually just do talking head interviews. I also love to use them as a pocket recorder that just happens to have a transmitter so I can check on my audio from time to time and make sure the lav hasn't fallen out of place. The only off-brand lav I own is the Countryman B3 and it sounds great with this system. I did have interference issues when shooting my old Go ii on my FX3 so I've committed to only using Rode Wireless into my FX6 and I haven't had any buzzing or interference so far. Love the time-code ability too, it's a nice bonus.
Another terrific review! You do such an incredible job with these. You're almost the only UA-camr I'll watch for video reviews anymore - you never disappoint!
I have the Rode Wireless Go II and I'm interested in the Pros now for the locking mic cables, the 32-bit float, and I'm interested to try timecode since I've never personally used it.
I love the handle stick for the rode mics but I have a 3d printer and there are several designs out there for the mics. I printed mine in yellow since that's all I had at the time for pla. I just need to get the foam piece for on top.
Solid review. I say that because I didnt think I was going to be spending any money today until i watched this video. So thanks for making me slightly more broke. 😅
10:40 all high end audio kit, same for radio and RF capture stuff too has a thermally isolated crystals normally in a composite like fluid in a thermos has, and its own TEC pad to control the thermal state within like 0.3°c of margin if not less, funny enough radilogical atomic clocks are slowly comming into the mear mortal relam of affordability.
I have (2) Wireless Pro Systems. Two things they should add are these. #1- A way to to Jam Sync Timecode from an external device or at the very least, a way to Sync 2 or more receivers to each other. #2 - A Timecode Mode where Left channel outputs Transmitter 1, Right channel outputs Transmitter 2, and the USB can output or input Timecode. This would make these units infinitely better. I would hope these can be achieved via firmware.
So are these mics going to replace your DJI mics in all your other videos? I noticed other than the review video you made for the RODE Wireless Go II mics, you never use them for your videos. I noticed you always use the DJI Mics instead.
Between 12:12" and 12:20"... is this possible because of the GAIN ASSIST technology delivering directly balanced audio to your camera? Or did you record in 32bit and then sync it in resolve? It's really amazing! Thank you!
ugh I was hoping to be able to buy the old version used on eBay or something now that these came out but - I guess I'll wait until these go on sale instead because the 32 bit recording is *chefs kiss*
Do you think I could recover 32 bit audio recording if the transmitter is in someones pocket? I shoot wedding so I would have to use a lav to hide the mics, meaning I would not get the 32 bit float unless I'm using the onboard recording...which would be in a brides dress or grooms pocket...any thoughts?
This new kit really is a great deal for what you get. I would have expected it to be $100 more. Please don't ride on scooters that fast, even if it doesn't kill you, they are so much easier to crash and maul your arms and legs. Please be safe. Especially on those roads in Rancho Palos Verdes there are often people in exotic sports cars doing crazy shit.
Hey man love your channel. Dumb question. Could these be used for livestreaming? Im trying to set up live streaming for my church and trying to keep it simple. Thanks in advance
I've been looking so HARD for a concealer for undershirt. The original one you could tape over since the mic points up. But with this mic the mic faces outward and so brushes against the shirt when it is underneath the shirt. And you can't tape over the mic. Have you found any solutions for it?
If you were to buy one camera for video and photography would you choose the A7iv or the s5iix? i am considering getting an upgrade for my 20th birthday
Man if you bail with that thing you are ripped...when I see you with your short shirt flying with 70km/h over the asphalt I get shivers and I was a stuntman back in the days this thing is sick and so the mic is also pretty damn good...could you do a comparison between this mic and the dji mic? that would be great
I wasn't expecting iPhone integration to show up at the 11th hour of this review! Wow, stop talking me into your swanky microphones here, Rode, These things keep getting more and more useful.
Just got mine and I'm loving testing them out! I also love your reviews! One thing I think is kind of annoying is that there's no way to use the timecode while also recording both transmitters onto my sony a7iv? Cause it only supports timecode with audio? Or am i missing something? I would personally love to be able to do the internal recording with timecode on it as a backup and also get the same timecode on my camera so it's easy to sync up if I ever need to recover some audio from the TX. They should add a way to have both audio channels free while using timecode through the usb-c instead at the same time. Would make these absolutely perfect. Or is that already possible except my a7iv does not support TC through the usb? I guess it might work with a fx6 or something that has the dedicated BNC timecode in/output?
The GO II cannot record 32-bit float, its audio hardware (especially the analog-digital converter) does not support this format. The app only “upscales” these recordings on export.
Two things that no one is explicitly saying about these mics: 1. If you need 32 bit sound in post, the wireless function is completely useless. You could simply use one Tx as your whole setup and sync the internal recording with the camera's scratch audio in post. 2. If you use a setup with an external mic attached to the Tx, the microphone will clip for louder sounds just like with any other recorder, 32 or 24 bit. So the microphone's ability to capture loud sounds without clipping will become the bottleneck there.
Hey man! What would you suggest when comparing to the new Tascam DL10 Pro, which also records 32 bit float. Trying to decide what I need for my wedding videography. I want to versatility of the Rodes but they dont hide as well as the Tascam AND I would only get the 32 bit float from the internal on board recording ...which would be in the brides dress or grooms pocket....could I recover that audio? Help me out!
Yo Gene. if hypothetically you were working with 2 sets of these Pros, how might you get the timecodes of the two RX units to sync? since they can't receive, I guess there isn't a way to do it. I'm trying to run 2x wirelesspro and 3x gopro12 together. In theory they all can 'do' timecode, but I can't for the life of my bend my mind around getting them all on the same clock. any tips on how you would configure that setup?
Dear Mr. Potato-man! You are an inspiration to all of us... except when you talk good about Canon. PLEASE look at the new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame!!
How would timecode work if you're shooting multicamera with something like canon r6 or r5 for example? They don't have timecode sync ports and you can only plug the receiver into one camera? Im asking as these mics seems to be oriented towards mirrorless cameras but few have sync ports
Man I ride scooters like that I'd definitely suggest riding with some good gloves. I've taken a couple nasty spills with little protection, don't make that mistake. haha That Segway is legit though!
Doesn't seem quite in his wheelhouse. It's a photography based MFT camera with good video specs. What we really need is Fuji GFX100II as an action cam.
It sounds strange/clinical to hear just the voice and no atmospherics of the place you're at. So be sure to have another omnidirectional audio recording to add it in the background.
“It’s got timecode in here.” Let me fix that statement for you Gene! “It’s got a BASIC form of timecode in here.” Also Gene, while I’m super hard on Rode for not creating proper timecode capabilities for this Pro unit, I think you didn’t setup the timecode test properly. The TC accuracy is entirely controlled by the receiver broadcasting back its temperature compensated TC value to the transmitters, while the internal clock is just a normal non-corrected clock like any camera.
This dude just has something special. Like he feels like a friend you love to hang out with.
haha yeah totally

I bought mine on day one. LOVE IT so far. Especially the 32bit float and gain assist to prevent clipping.

GENE!!!! I cannot believe you wore a bicycle helmet on a hyperscooter... so relieved when you switched
Totally picked up the Wireless PRO last week and it has been my go to mic since! With a couple adjustments on a mixer it sounds as good as my SM7Bs, yet WAY more versatile!
Do you use any non-Rode lav mics with it? And if so, do you get interference?
@@DanielAx haven’t tried yet … I’m an XLR PodMic or SM7B guy … not a huge wireless user … maybe soon though!
I have no need for a wireless mic but the way you structure these videos and explain the specs and usages makes me want to buy it. Well done man!
Thank you for showing us how these microphones sound. Seems like none of the other reviewers care about that.
I’ve missed you Jet. I’ve been studying for a year and I’ve missed so much. Graduated now and so I’m looking for a mic to record self tapes with and remembered you! Great review as always!

They need to make a white version or cover for weeding dress
I think you can attach a wired lav mic and hide the receiver possibly for now. That would be smart though
@@ILLAILLSIf you get a lav you don't need this new Rode anymore , and I don't think the lav would be fixed to the rode also so Its not an possibility unfortunately.
So 3D priting or paint scotch job like for cars
Weed?
@@MrJayPuffIm French I though it was Weeding, thanks for pointing out but be more clear next time please.
the case allowing you to transfer data from both mics is a great feature!
I was waiting for your review for so long. Finally come out!!!! So happy that you made one!!!
I immediately ordered these when I saw the release. They are so good! No more peaking! So many features and that charging case is fantastic. Also kudos to rode for keeping the price down; the kit comes with so much for 400 bucks
See, that's the problem with content creators. Nothing is ever wrong with the current setup until something new comes out. At the end of the day take the information you get with a grain of salt. You won't get an honest review from anyone on anything until the next best thing comes out.

Bro just say you have the older version and your okay with it 😂😂
Can’t wait to get mine today! Gonna do a comparison between these and my Sennheiser G4’s. Been using the G3 and G4’s forever so I can see these slotting in there with all these insane features.
Potato! Thanks for all of the content. I learn so much when you post. You are amazing bro.
The one feature that is disappointing is the way internal batteries are not replaceable. Is this a planned obsolescence game?
I'm stoked! I preordered this unit and got notified that it shipped today! I've been limping along with the Wireless pro II but some clipped audio recordings and the non-locking lav had me planning to move on in the next month or two. Perfect timing from Rode!

dude i literally just bought the wireless 2 with and 2 lavs last month and now they drop this with lav included im so pissed 😭😭😭😭😭
I love the handle stick for the rode mics but I have a 3d printer and there are several designs out there for the mics. I printed mine in yellow since that's all I had at the time for pla. I just need to get the foam piece for on top.
The wind protection on this mic is amazing.
Solid review.
I say that because I didnt think I was going to be spending any money today until i watched this video.
So thanks for making me slightly more broke. 😅
Are you adding any post eq or compression. ?? Or is it raw audio? Sounds amazing
Ok you sold me. I have the last version but I couldn’t wear it because it clipped all the time. I’m just way too loud. Can’t wait to upgrade.
Got mine the other day. You can plug in the charger to your computer and the Rode app sees the case and the mics.

Hi Potato, do you mind reviewing the HOLLYLAND MARK MAX? It just came out and it's taking over these new wireless mics. thank you!
I would also like to know how those compare to the Wireless PRO
Can the transmitter accept a line out of a field recorder like a zoom or tascam portacapture?
The kit seems super versatile!
These are dope..I might have to get these now..they sound soo good
All your videos are so cool and inspiring. Honestly, it brings so much joy even overseas to germany ;)

Can you drop presets on how you make the audio so crisp if so I’ll order today so you get commission
Is there a way to lock the transmitter buttons so that the talent doesn’t accidentally stop recording or mute when the unit is in their pocket?
Well there goes the weekly upload schedule lol.
Hi dude great video much appreciated. Are the wind shields easier to attach than on older versions.
This new kit really is a great deal for what you get. I would have expected it to be $100 more.

Was debating to buy the old Rode Lavs vs the DJI. But this video won me! Now deciding to get this set! Thank you @Potato Jet!
Hey man love your channel. Dumb question. Could these be used for livestreaming? Im trying to set up live streaming for my church and trying to keep it simple. Thanks in advance
What’s the battery life of the receiver? Is it the same 7 hours like the transmitter?
@BartGeo Lol you guys need this mic, because damn the wind in your vlogs.
Timecode is great to have. Can you jam sync timecode from the mic to your camera?
What mount was the go pro 12 on in the clip of the e scooter on the mountain while testing the mic?
Nice, any thoughts on the Hollymark sound gear? Just bought it but not sure if i should return and go Rode… thanks

Did the fix the interference issues that the Go II had?
That "...inches away from my mouth" is on repeat in my head lol
If you were to buy one camera for video and photography would you choose the A7iv or the s5iix? i am considering getting an upgrade for my 20th birthday
Do you prefer this one over Hollyland/DJI ?

thanks for another fun video? any thoughts interactions with interference with the 2.4g and that freq in general.
The wireless go 2 also has 32bit internal recording through an update a year or 2 ago.
The GO II cannot record 32-bit float, its audio hardware (especially the analog-digital converter) does not support this format. The app only “upscales” these recordings on export.
What's about the Burano?
Not going to lie, I waited for your review to help me make a decision to buy these or not. Thanks a ton! ✊🏼
Do new Bmpcc 6k FULL FRAME
Thanks for this review. Are Sennheiser ME-2 lavalier's compatible with the Rode Wireless Pro? have you tried them?
missed you guys!!!!
Your sound quality is good
So what was your gain settings on the Action 4 and what db level did you have the rode transmitter set to?
Can i use 3 transmitters?
thanks
How does this compare to the NT5 rode sound?
These good for live music audio ?
Um how or where do i get the upgrades?
Can you use these with your cell phone ?

I saw the new iphone 15 pro can record directly to external ssd
Okay. I actually want to buy one of those scooters! I'm really tall. How high do you think you can adjust the handlebars?
Very informative vlog. I haven't been on UA-cam in a while....do you still have your coffee shop?
does the review wake up?
Sony burano?
Awesome review as always!
where is lumix G9 II review
It went
Doesn't seem quite in his wheelhouse. It's a photography based MFT camera with good video specs. What we really need is Fuji GFX100II as an action cam.
Nobody gives a fvck about that stupid camera. Like a m43 camera as big as the s5 😂
Mine arrived! Need to unbox them
It sounds strange/clinical to hear just the voice and no atmospherics of the place you're at. So be sure to have another omnidirectional audio recording to add it in the background.
Awesome review for an awesome mic. Gene, can you do a video on Card readers? It seems hard to find good information on them. Thanks!
“It’s got timecode in here.”
Let me fix that statement for you Gene!
“It’s got a BASIC form of timecode in here.”
Also Gene, while I’m super hard on Rode for not creating proper timecode capabilities for this Pro unit, I think you didn’t setup the timecode test properly. The TC accuracy is entirely controlled by the receiver broadcasting back its temperature compensated TC value to the transmitters, while the internal clock is just a normal non-corrected clock like any camera.
