Rode Wireless Pro Review - THEY FINALLY DID IT

[@AllThingsFilm1]

The Wireless Pro is HUGE. This is what I've been dreaming of. You're one of my trusted sources for filmmaking. So, I'm all in with Rode on this one.

[@TheEverythingMan]

Yeah zero issues here with this device man. It’s a definite purchase

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

Thank you for this video! I would've never considered a mic like this before, but you've convinced me I need to give it a go!

[@Mike0193Azul]

Rode did an amazing job on this update! They’re basically near perfect. One thing I asked them for was the ability to use different pro lav mics that required minimum 5v, from a quick glance at the spec sheet I believe these might even support that 💚

[@totoroutes5389]

Needs this improvement soon: The Rode Mobile ipad app should have all the functions as the desktop app.

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Questions: 1. Can you attach the RODE receiver to your OSMO Action 4 via USB-C and record audio? 2. Can you please test the timecode feature with the OA4 and see how long you can record without drift? In other words, use the RODE to record 32 bit audio after jam sync'ing the OA4. You can play the radio or TV and let it record that. Don't attach the RODE receiver to the OA4 though. Simply start and stop recording video using your OA4 pointed at the time code display on the RODE receiver so that you can read it on the video. It would also be helpful to have a view of the TV show in the background. Do this over the course of say 5 hours with multiple 1 minute videos each hour. The starting and stopping of the video is important. Then simply take the one 32 bit audio file from the transmitter and all of the individual video files and sync them in davinci resolve via timecode. I'm happy to do that for you if you upload the footage somewhere. That will allow us to easily find where the video and audio go out of sync? That's the whole reason for timecode. If it works as it should, it's better than the DJI mic plugin with the OA4. Essentially you'd never have to plugin any mic to the OA4 and within seconds in your NLE you can sync the 32-bit audio from the RODE to it!

[@TacticalCactusMedia]

So excited about these mics, they will be my next audio purchase to finally replace my old Sennheiser lavs. It will be nice to not have to rely on my bulky Zoom F3 for 32-bit float audio anymore. Great video!

[@IndependenceOverland]

Your my go-to for these types of reviews, using your link to order these bad boys right now. I do wish the receiver had (2) 3.5 jacks, so Rodes shotgun mics could also be plugged into it, as well as an output to camera. I personally have to leave the receiver and a shotgun on my camera all the time and I bounce back and forth a ton. Having a shotgun mic recording 32 bit as well as the 2 transmitters would make for very useful redundancy for my kind of work. Thanks

[@thesouthernwoodsmanuk216]

Thankyou for your review on this product. Appreciate your honesty. It helps alot

[@NikCan66]

This appears to be a game changer and if one travels internationally a lot plus the 32 bit float is piece of mind.

[@FifthSparkGaming]

WOW!!!! Great tests!! Audio sounds AWESOME!!!

[@614Lyfe]

why do i have to have my gain all way up when using with my a7siii and have my sony audio set to 14. What settings do you use?

[@TheEverythingMan]

For all cameras the process should be transmitter gain all the way up to the max, have your camera levels to 1 or 2, then lower your receiver gain until the levels look about right, if you go all the way down with your receiver levels then start to drop your transmitter levels until they’re right. The quality comes from the mic first, receiver 2nd and camera last so you want the majority of the volume to come from the transmitter and then work your way down the chain. Or you can just use rode central and use the A7s3 preset

[@mattPG78]

I had the RODE wireless go original and loved it. I currently have the DJI Action 3 and really need a microphone for it. This one is definitely sparked my interest.

[@ChrisBlairECom]

Is the audio quality better than the original Rode Wireless Go? I still use that one and I am happy with it.

[@danielakerman8241]

32 bit float, PLUS time code for $60-70 more than the DJI mic, AND you get two locking lavaliers. Sign me up. Rode has done something amazing.

[@GG-Turf]

Thanks for the info. You got all my questions answered, and then some!

[@2kime]

Hello, can I use a mic on the receiver like with the “me”? I don’t like cables/lavaliers. Thank you, Frans

[@sjfsupport]

Hi Anthony, great video! Did you use the time code on your sony FX3 (seen in the video) and did it jam directly in the multi port? I want to use the wireless pro and jam sync my sonys and then have similar timecode Time of Day for in pros processing. I want to record audio on my camera and have a backup on the units in case (or when out of reach) and want to cut time sorting put the clips in the timeline (so use time code). Final syncing can be done by using the audio recorded. Anyway How did you jam sync the timecode to the Sonys?

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Great intro and review as always. Thanks Anthony.

[@TheEverythingMan]

Thanks Mark!

[@TagTeamKitchen]

Can both of the microphones be used at the same time with the Rodecaster Pro 2? 😬

[@BoReynolds]

ANTHONY IS BACK BABY! I never get notified when you post a new vid for some reason. Well done buddy, I'll use your link. Bo

[@RalphBarbagallo]

Does the time code setting work with 60fps video? I guess you can use the 30 fps setting since it's evenly divisible?

[@obarovft314]

Are you saying i no longer need a mixer? I will get a better quality audio with the 32 bit float?

[@PastorShayne]

Will the headphone connect allow for monitoring of external device audio such as iPad while connected via usbc?

[@dunnjulian11]

Nice review bro! Will the case charge the units like the dji case when not plugged in?

[@TheEverythingMan]

Thanks bro! It does

[@dunnjulian11]

❤

[@JPC326]

How it compare to Hollyland Mark Max ?

[@bmefilms6879]

I have the wireless go and go ii and now im sold on this! Thanks for making me spend more money!

[@MIMCKMedia]

Nice Review. Would be nice if there was a Cheaper Set without the 2 Lav Mics. I already got 2 Lav Mics

[@hasenmyer]

Can you fit the receivers with windmuff attached and the cable in the charging case?

[@TheEverythingMan]

Yeah you can squeeze it in there. The magnets stay on a fit as well

[@kurotaka007]

I just watched your earlier one today on comparative of (5) wireless. But saw this one one on RODE Pro and decided on getting it. More importantly, i am now going to subscribe “and” I will review Cinematch closer and most likely buy! Thanks for the no shit style! 👍

[@TheEverythingMan]

Thanks man!!!

[@sayididit2930]

How is the battery life on Rode stuff in the long run? We use Sennheiser G3/4s because we've used Sennheiser lavs with bullt in rechargeable batteries and found that they started losing battery life after a year or two. However, I hate that I constantly need Double A batteries with me plus never know when you need to change them and there's no way to have them charging while recording, ensuring that it doesn't die...

[@PaulFeinberg]

No kidding what else do you need with 32bit float......If DJI does 32 bit float in version 2......watch out! Great video as always bro!

[@TheEverythingMan]

Yeah I’m excited to see who steps their game up next.. thanks bro ✊

[@Marlonorellana]

What are your thoughts on the hollyland max vs these? I like how much more compact the hollylands are. Plus the magnets are smaller I am worried about losing the rubber magnet from rode

[@everytingauto]

32 bit float and time code for $400 is insane

[@AaronOverEverything]

Man…. I JUST started back using my Wireless Go II + LavII setup.. now Rode comes out with this… annoyed. great video as always though man.. keep crushing it brotha💪🏽

[@TheEverythingMan]

Haha that’s always the case isn’t it? Luckily the 32bit float will make this a great choice for a long time

[@AaronOverEverything]

@@TheEverythingMan I’m sold. After a couple more review videos, I think I’m gonna pull the triG on this setup. Good looks man

[@paulg3388]

I really enjoy your Videos and presentation, so thanks. I also have the DJI Wireless Mic, and this is tempting for a few reasons but not enough for me to spend another £400. Maybe if I was full time like you perhaps, but I really like the DJI Mics and have the Action 4 and like you said, they work perfectly together. Is it me or does the Action 4 have a pretty amazing in built Mic anyway right?! I only really need the Wireless Mics for outside/wind noise etc .. I am pretty happy with the Mic already built in. Anyway going off topic! thanks again and keep up the good work !

[@EspenJohan]

Looks and sound like a awesome wireless system. I still have my GO II and love it, this is next level👍

[@danielbarakat]

Just straight up mic quality. Is it better than the rode wireless go 2 or about the same? I don't want to upgrade unless I need to.

[@Kapulot]

It’s the same mic

[@matthewpateofficial]

Was still waiting on my rode wireless go II charging case since early May and canceled last week. They should actually deliver existing products before creating new ones.

[@vy8554]

are these shipping yet??

[@fantom2967]

can it be used for general skype/zoom/google meet calls? or not practical?

[@JarradShaw]

Holy S**t!!! I think you n I have been waiting for Rode to bust this out, and yes! I know you’ve had this for a while n couldn’t say anything, but bro (Salute) so glad Rode gifted you this tech to show off. When I can get one of these bad mics I will always promote you n Rode just like I did in my last Colorado hiking vid. Much love brother❤ Salute 🫡

[@TheEverythingMan]

I know bro

[@JarradShaw]

Just shared your vid in my socials. Not a big audience, but Antony, shoot… I hope it helps along with my years of support for you bro. Hey… all the love. Lol, ‘Bad boys for life’ Thanks Anthony❤

[@JuliusRay91]

New subscriber!! And thanks! I just got mines a couple days ago

[@LoverOfTech]

Glad I didn't get the GO 2 since my Go 1 broke lol. Great video bro 👏🏿

[@ILLAILLS]

How many mics can the receiver handle?

[@ProgressiveAction]

I would have liked for him to do this with the lavalier wire

[@bradleyc79]

THANKS FROM CHICAGO

[@EdgardB]

Great Review Anthony! Would you recommend these for weddings or is it to big? And what happened To The Everything Man Channel?

[@iamnotapoet]

Thanks, as always for the fantastic video. Do the mics show up in macOS Finder when connected to the case? Thanks for your words of wisdom. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed Vloggers ]

[@itslikelypastmybedtime8327]

Does anyone know if it's compatible with the rode interview go adaptor mic?

[@sugarbait]

Wish you would have tested out the lavs but great video other wise.

[@mattgray9297]

Just waiting for mine to ship

[@Ade2bee]

Another great review

[@Tonyrizk13]

Stop bro… I had my mind made up already and now you’re introducing new mics

[@TheEverythingMan]

lol change your mind bro!

[@Crimson_aries88]

Me too smh

[@ejays99]

Anyone know if this thing has issues with digital noise like the last gen? When I plug my Rode Wireless 2 into my FX3 (in addition to a shotgun mic,) I get this really annoying digital beeping sound, I think it has something to do with the 1/8 inch cable

[@mitchellglick8737]

Where can I sell my Rose Wireless Go II?

[@Blitz0065]

Ohhhh a new standard

[@cliftonsledge962]

It’s everything you asked for in a wireless mic. When you did the comparison video of the wireless microphones, it shows ask and you shall receive. Next time ask for a million dollars 😂. Great video bro.

[@ErisedMediaCo]

I’m not sold on the time code. I think the diety TC-1 is just a safer option in order to keep everything in sync when you’re working with multiple cameras or audio sources. But, 32-bit float, screw-lock mic inputs, charging case…? So worth it. Glad to see someone outside of Rose’s review on this. Thanks man.

[@YoungBlaze]

damn you'r the first person i see with these

[@BoReynolds]

I'd buy your Go2?

[@UrbanBDKNY]

Yo the noise cancellation is crazy

[@totoroutes5389]

Receiver is lacking headphone port. Funny that Rode includes timecode connection for the camera but there is no way to monitor the audio during use of the timecode, camera operator will just have to wait for the playback, since timecode is already a lot of convenience. LoL

[@Jeffshighonlife]

Well there goes another $400 bucks on some new tech I dont need.

[@ChadWork1]

Did you test how good the signal is when a human body is between the transmitter and receiver? All the other little wireless Rode systems cut out if you put the pack on the side of the person that's away from the receiver. I can't trust them for weddings because of that.

[@patrickfalls6819]

Enable internal recording and you should be good. If you experience an interruption, sync the audio that is recorded inside the transmitter with the audio that is recorded into your camera via the receiver.

[@ChadWork1]

@@patrickfalls6819 I'm aware of that option. That doesn't answer my question.

[@patrickfalls6819]

@@ChadWork1 Well, in the course of a year and a half and over 50 weddings using my Go IIs, I haven’t experienced what you are describing, but I was hoping to provide a solution to continue using what you have. Since the Rode GO II Pro is so new, and your situation is probably not common, you may have to purchase and experiment for yourself, and you will be guaranteed to have the answer to your question.

[@ChadWork1]

@@patrickfalls6819 I have professional UHF wireless units for critical jobs, but I've been waiting for one of these small wifi wireless units to have at least the same transmission power as the original Rode Filmmaker's kit. I'm not going to buy a wireless Pro to find out that if has the same issues as all the previous iterations. I'm sure someone will do the test. I get that it's hard to exploit the product's weakness when they give it to you for free. I used to do this for Rode, so I know how it goes.

[@88Nick8]

GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr. You did not turn around when you were far away. To see if the line of site issue is still there. Great video.

[@TheEverythingMan]

It’s always going to be there brother. I’ve tested at least 40 wireless mics and they all cut out at some point. If we get to the point where it doesn’t cut out I’d be scared of the power of waves going through my body

[@AnthonyLHarding]

They missed by not making them Bluetooth

[@TheEverythingMan]

I don’t think anyone does Bluetooth, the latency would be too unpredictable and everyone would have tons of drift with their footage

[@AnthonyLHarding]

@@TheEverythingMan they need to get it figured out.

[@Video_Crow]

If they would just add a 3.5mm jack to the receiver so you could use a headphone out AND a 3.5mm out, they would already have my money. As is... nope.
