DIY Rode Wireless GO Mic Cage!

[@thisiseric]

Really appreciate your efforts to keep your channel sponsorless. You're my most trusted review source because of that. And also super underrated how you provide actual useful things to sell rather than just shirts. I don't want to knock on those that sell clothing merch but we have so much fast fashion and it's really polluting the world so I appreciate being able to support creators in other ways.

[@mkteku]

THIIIS! :-D

[@Miniac]

12 years and not one sponsor...Caleb, you're a legend! Inspirational.

[@BespokeFotografie]

I like the protection and the cable locking portion of this, great idea Caleb. Make a DJI version please!!

[@Dales_Workshop]

Thank you Caleb! Giving away the files is very generous of you. Going to have my son print a couple for me ASAP. I've learned so much from this channel!

[@thetruemorg]

This is one of the things I love the most about 3D printing. You have a device that needs just a little bit more functionality that you paid enough money that it's not easily replaceable but needs like too good features. This is a brilliant idea I'm not in this ecosystem with the road wireless go but I love these kind of projects thank you for all your great videos

[@petrolpoodle]

To add to the closing segments - I'm a professional freelancer videographer and have plenty of experience shooting with my prior Sony A7iii & A6400 (now an A7IV and A7SIII) and one could argue that I wouldn't have much to gain from the DSLR Video Shooter A7IV guide that I bought 2 weeks ago... I wish I'd done this the second I bought my first cameras, not only did it show me all sorts of things I never knew existed (and are never mentioned in ANY reviews!) but there are all sorts of clever button/dial suggestions that are classic Caleb genius approaches but above all, I love that I now expose my footage using the stellar and super simple false colour LUT. In post I just whack the beautiful Corrective LUT (from a huge custom array depending on how much you exposed or over-exposed) that I find has worked better than my Leeming LUT workflow before. Let's be honest, we all think we know our cameras but have we ever religiously dedicated a solid week to testing *every single* menu option and created near-scientific comparisons like Caleb has? Nope and thankfully his findings are concise, friendly to all levels and let you know you're now definitely getting the most out of your camera. Do it, enjoy the extended content on your camera, the banging LUTs, and help support this channel that's helped us all!

[@jongrall]

Great idea to improve an already fantastic product. Nice to see it is also compatible with the original Wireless GO (not mentioned in the video).

[@adamveres4352]

"is this thing revolutionary? absolutely not. " that line at the very and made me buy this... thank you Caleb!

[@ChrisGammell]

Nice job on the design! The knurling on the cap is a great touch. Using something like Shapeways, you could probably sell a metal version as well in the future (super high end) and set up a shop so you could directly ship to people from Shapeways (I think). If you decide to do anything electronic focused, I'd love to help out!

[@MiddletonMade3D]

I absolutely love that you found a solution using 3D printing. This type of thinking is the future.

[@TwoOneSe7en]

Caleb, this is why we love you man. Always showing us, practical, useful gadgets and tools. I'm buying.

[@philpritchard5173]

Nice. Would love to see some different use cases. Perhaps a half cage too so the wind muff could be used?? Maybe a 1/4 20 version for the receiver? Fantastic channel.

[@TheLabyrinthTV]

1/4 20 would be perfect! Especially to mount on a run-and-gun rig.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thank you Phil! All great ideas man.

[@alexfont]

The level of your videos now are .. simply incredible!

[@TheAlkhemiaStudio]

I just sent this to a friend who has a recording session soon and he told me that this was exactly what he needed for! Thank you so much!

[@Mike0193Azul]

Yess! The main thing that irked me about the wireless go ii is that the mic doesn't lock. Don't get why they did not add that feature. Wish we could still use the wind muffs with the case, but with how easy it is to remove and place inside the case it should be no hassle 💚 Thank you

[@whatsonmytable]

You are so generous with the options of downloading it ourselves or even buying them directly!! More power to Caleb!!! we love you!!

[@PascalRichter11]

Awesome project! Printed it and it works like a charm. Please note that the Rode Smartlav+ does NOT work as it has a TRRS connector and needs the Rode TRRS to TRS Adapter which comes in angled at 90°. Luckily, you can still use the 90° TRS TRRS adapter with the Smartlav + as it barely clears the threaded part of the Go LOCK case.

[@FullBellyTravels]

This makes a big difference. Keep more stuff like this coming!

[@BurnArt]

You just made the Wireless Go II a whole lot more interesting! Never thought about doing a 3D Print cage!

[@RepairGuyDK]

Fantastic idea Caleb!. One thing though, please make one for DJI mic, i´m done with the RØDE, The DJI mic is waaaaaay better, and no hassle with a stupid app to transfer files, that only work sometimes ! :-)

[@aaronmefferd]

This is incredible. Thank you Caleb! This has been my biggest complaint about the Wireless GO's.

[@brandonpetrykowski]

Dude…. Such an industrialist. Love it 💪

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Ha! Thanks bro!

[@thomasjmcclure]

this looks awesome! id love to see more like it!

[@kkanaumi]

You're the man!!!!! I wonder what Peter Mckinnon will be releasing relative to this kind of creative episode...

[@porterworld]

The one thing the cage needs is an adaptor on the side so you can connect it to a cage like on the side of an insta360 X4. Been looking everywhere for a simple solution to mount the wireless go on my cage.

[@btsr2553]

Many thanks. Now, I have to write a few words. Great idea. Superbly realised. Congratulations. Why on earth didn't Rode think of it themselves? Really great. I would present this to Rode. If I could order this at a realistic fair price here in Germany, I would have ordered two of them. More than one thumb up. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@sturm3n]

This is like, the perfect sort of invention I could have asked for! Looking forward to more little 3D-printed widgets that solve a real problem that persists because no commercial company thinks they could make money on it.

[@shamsiqbalrhone7850]

My favorite flimmaking related channel. Keep it up sir ! ❤️

[@ChristianBehnke]

I was thinking about something like this to give it a different mount. If I modify for personal needs, I'll definitely share it back to you.

[@chandraach]

Maybe also design for DJI Mic as well? That would be awesome!

[@DCPhotog30144]

Yes please a DJI version

[@CR1988]

So great! Waiting for the same thing on DJI Mic.

[@ColinKlupiec]

Well done Caleb. I've also designed and printed parts for power tools that I use, where excellent manufacturers leave niggling problems for us to deal with. I don't have this mic (although I have several other Rode mics). Just wanted to commend you on what looks like a great solution. And yes, your sponsor free channel really does stand out amongst the crowd.

[@danl4720]

THIS IS SICK. I love this stuff Caleb.

[@anthonypc1]

Woa. You produce your own gear now?! I might get this one

[@PeterV]

This is amazing! Will there be one for the DJI MIC too?

[@fares_of_arabia]

Yes, More stuff like this, 3d printed camera solutions

[@NewIndigo]

No shipping to Canada? Great product - I guess I’ll find someone to 3D print. Thanks Caleb.

[@matrixis]

Just printing this myself now and already created the previous mic one. Keep them coming, loving them!

[@JustinGraziano]

Love the look of this DIY! I would love to see you build a handheld microphone for the Rode Go II. I’ve seen Rodes version but I’m not a fan of its design

[@ScottJWaldron]

Another smart 3D print design!

[@HardtailLife]

Brilliant. Would you consider making one for the DJI Wireless Mic as well?

[@PoeInTheDitch]

Very cool. Well done. Beyond cool that you're giving away the design.

[@joaquinnolasco5210]

Caleb is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve

[@Whaever_1981]

Wow, this is amazing, thank you! I use Sanken Cos 11d's with Sennheirs Locking 1/8ths connector. You think these will fit? :)

[@josuemoralesh]

Caleb you are the man! Thanks for this

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Thanks for watching Josue!

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

It's so cool that your designing gear merch. Great idea 👍👍

[@Perksonality]

What a great addition to the wireless GO!

[@gamedesign1]

This is great. I am always sending ideas to Smallrig and Ulanzi. I wish I had the resources to build some of the ideas I have. I came out with an idea that I think loads of film makers would love.

[@nicolas.elsaesser]

This is genius!!! Could you make something for the DJI MIC as well? 😏😏💪🏻

[@willsullivan7568]

Genius! I love it. Ordering now! Thanks, Caleb!

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

What a great creative idea!! Being able to lock the mic should be standard on every wireless system, but unfortunately it's not. Well done!!

[@offgrideditor]

Please mdesign one for the DJI mic! This is awesome. Might go out and grab the wireless go just to get the case!

[@MotionHueProductions]

So good!! 🙌🔥 going to ask my brother to print some for me. I like these mics since they are small and lightweight. Now you fixed the biggest issue/concern I had with using a wired lav with the transmitter.

[@takeonevideo9726]

Awesome piece of gear. I ordered 2 of them. Locking cables and a little extra protection as well. Thank you so much for making this and making content on your amazing channel. Two Thumbs up👍👍

[@DeJw0497]

Amazing! I really love these DIY stuff to 3d print! Last month I made the sm58 enclosure you designed and it became my daily go to for videochat/stream/recording! Hope to see other stuff in the future!

[@PresidentNiczen]

I was VERY suprised to hear you prefer this over the DJI mics. Can you do a video why?? I just think the DJI one blows this out of the water and have retired it to my B Kit but you always have great insight so I would love to hear yours

[@WolfsHaven]

Awesome idea! I'll have to modify the design as I have a couple of different brands of wireless mics but a very solid concept to overcome some design flaws from manufacturers. This could be useful for other devices such as cellphone cases and tiny computers too.

[@jeffwaweru]

It absolutely is revolutionary for the go.

[@CourtWatchAu]

Well done Caleb, great design !

[@mb_heart_films]

Awesome Caleb! I’ve dreamed it, you did it!

[@ChestiiPrinAmerica]

Won't need it personally, but man that is a really smart design. Can't wait for what you have on pipeline next 💥

[@mica.motion]

It's upseting how good you are to find practical gear

[@AndyLSB]

IDEA: i would like to have like a bracket or something that threads on the bottom of a 5” monitor or bigger that has a mounting on the sides to mount a video transmitter with monitors that don’t have a space for it. Example: I use Atomos products and Hollyland transmitters, I would love to mount my Mars 4K on the back of my ninja (SSD side) in a non-obstructive way and have the receiver on my shinobi, there isn’t a easy compact way to mount video transmitters to make a small compact directors monitor without a lot more accessories and making the rig bulky. Other than that, this video was awesome Caleb, as always, value and quality work from you man 💪🏻

[@andreasgiobel6355]

Well done! Good video. I’ll share something that crossed my mind for a V2 version. A hole with a 3/4 that converts to a 1/4 with thread adapters (for a small?!? smallrig ball head).

[@drrrw]

Very nice, smallrig and others taking notes.

[@NateReimers]

This is incredible, man! Thank you for putting it out there.

[@SaxSpy]

I love your channel! You should rebrand to Caleb Pike since no one is on DSLR anymore :)

[@TheWrightTimes]

Excellent idea. Looks great. Unfortunately I'll have to wait till Im back at work to afford it. Nice work

[@local130]

Fantastic use of 3D printing!!!

[@slickshott]

Great work, Caleb! Totally buying these!

[@adevarul12]

thank you very much for your idea, I managed to make these cases for the protection and safety of my microphones. thank you very much, you are the best, good luck in the future. as a review, let me know that you got the measurements perfectly, in the future maybe a case for Rode pro and the broadcast that comes on the camera would be great, good luck

[@josearena7]

do you plan to do something similar but for the dji mic? i would love to be able to use something similar! :D

[@PhilipLemoine]

good stuff man!

[@nestorswoodworking2728]

Awesome video and product! Would it be possible to angle out the cutout for the built in mic? Thank you for not saying “satisfying click”

[@madsmix]

Great job Caleb! WIll print one for my set ASAP. 👍

[@Isaacofarrell]

Love all that you create man! Genuinely one of my favorite channels and I can’t wait to see the awesome things you come up with in the future!

[@rorysinclair1489]

Great Idea! I was looking for a new Wireless Guitar setup over the weekend - I realised that I could use my Wireless II Go rig instead. Compared to all the Guitar oriented systems I get - Better Battery Life, more choices of transmitter positioning, AND all the backup features etc - bottom-line is a repurposed Video oriented wireless rig is a generation ahead of Instrument oriented versions. Seems to me, your fabulous bit of kit makes this a practical choice, especially for those wanting to mic and Guitar and Voice. Ed Sheerballsofhim, could have sounded so much better...Well Done

[@northflorida]

Looks awesome! Have you tested if it works with the Rode Lavalier II? It has a small screw nut on it so I was wondering if that would impede it. If so your next batch would be great if you adjusted for that. I think more people will increasingly be buying that model! and if it does fit, please get black back in stock! Great stuff

[@progress_media]

Any word on this? wondering if I should buy these or if they don't work with the Lavalier II

[@padraigtreanor]

This is epic! I am curious as to know why you still prefer the RODE Wireless Go II?

[@Lewismotorsports]

Great idea hope you make more than 50. That's something Rode should have thought of.

[@DoughboyGod]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheOpticalFreak]

Very smart design! 👍😃 What 3D printer do you actually have? Your prints look really good 😮

[@YoungBlaze]

the thing i hate is that when you try to pair a lot of these type of mics directly into alot of the a7siii 's you will get RF interference due to the bad shielding on the cameras, some dont have these issues but alot do

[@jesseyules]

Thanks Caleb! You are amazing!

[@AlanMelling]

So cool. Man, you really do such good work. Much love to you, and hope you keep it up!

[@mozzfather]

Absolutely genius idea! Thank you very much!

[@BensTechLab]

Super innovative! I'd get one if there weren't so many newer alternatives from Deity (locking 3.5) and DJI (better audio).

[@DarraghCox]

Phenomenal job! I will print a couple of these whenever I get another printer.

[@MrCruz-oc8jx]

Hey Caleb can you also design one for the DJI Wireless Mic.

[@adrianmack7750]

I purchased 4 of these and tried them in the field yesterday. It was phenomenal. Locking system, secure fit, and durability is awesome. Another awesome contribution Caleb. Does anyone know if these Mic cages will work with the Rode Lavaliere II? I want to purchase a couple these new mics (currently using Laveliere Go), but dont want to if the cages are not compatible.

[@storyisgreater]

This is super cool. Amazing design!

[@dsdddsd4543we]

Wow, this is incredible. I've been trying to figure out why Rode did not included a lock. This Wireless Go has been out for years and we haven't heard about a Pro model at all.

[@jmanuelforero3850]

Really really good!!! Perfect for Amazon!

[@marsgizmo]

Love this one! Excellent functional 3D Print! 👏😎

[@blairwilliams136]

this is actually brilliant!

[@Rachel-RiteVisuals]

No shipping available to Australia?! Ughhhhh I need a set of theses so bad!

[@AllenRReid]

Looks great. Now can you design a mic clip for the Lavalier II? The one they have doesn't hold the mic secure and they don't offer replacements (at last check) on their website. I lost mine and haven't been able to use my mic since then.

[@christopherdunican3482]

Awesome product!!!! When will you be able to ship to the UK?

[@jaswingrove]

hah wow such vision. predicting a ‘pro’ version that may someday may have locking mic sockets 👏

[@SKARxFACE]

So Cool! Maybe a DJI version?
