The Best Wireless Audio For Creators in 2023? RØDE Wireless Pro Review.

[@WhittMedia]

Finally, a locking connector! I couldn’t believe basically none of the other options ever offered that.

[@dunnadidit]

Right!? So necessary

[@elsiadajew9694]

This is legit a great, technical and simple review! Thank you!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

You went in too deep with this.

[@dunnadidit]

I see what you did there.

[@spdcrzy]

I wonder how much acid Dunna did drop while doing this.

[@codythep]

The iPhone magsafe hack was what no other video has covered that I came here for! Thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

Happy to help!

[@EvanSchneider]

Great review! You make the Wireless Pro sound better than most others I've heard and I like that.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks boss! I appreciate that!!

[@JasperMeurs]

Thank you for this in-depth review! As I am looking to upgrade from my current Rode Wireless ME setup, this was very helpful. I mainly like the ability to record directly to the transmitter, especially when vlogging using the DJI Osmo since I have nowhere to really secure the receiver without blocking the gimbal…

[@Pfagnan]

Still the best reviewer out there!! Well ok for somebody not named Gerald!! 📸😆👏🇨🇦

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I’ll take number two to that geek for sure!

[@yuanzofficial]

This is a great review! So glad you mentioned that you still CAN clip with 32bit. I feel like this is a common misconception. I found that this is true especially in loud environments where it's easy to push too much air into the capsule (say, in a busy street) while someone is speaking. Better than 24 for sure, but will largely depend on the mic you use.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much for the kind words! You're totally right with the clipping thing too. It's less about "if" you can clip and it's more about "where" in the chain of things you're clipping. Mic capsules can only take so much and eventually, we all output to 16 or 24 bit so you have to make sure you've recovered what you want to recover!

[@Lifewithseanthony]

Do you by any chance have a video on how you edit your audio? Or any recs?

[@thepastcomesalive2082]

I heard that the system when you hold down certain buttons, it goes through a menu with different settings, I am totally blind, so I’m wondering if it would be easy to figure out the menu. One thing I do wish is that road and other companies like it could make these systems talk so that when you go through the menu, it tells you what is there. The Zoom corporation just did something. I never thought it would do and that is they came out with a new series called, the Zoom essential series and they have added accessibility and voice prompts to it. This is the first time that any professional audio company has done that, it’s about time they did something like that and i’m glad, sided people aren’t the only group who are interested in professional equipment like this.

[@amirulrasyidyussof]

Great job Dunna! just need some clarifications: 1. Could we use 32bit float together with timecode as you mentioned the 32 bit float doesnt work with the recording on receiver but timecode does need the receiver to be plugged in to the camera. 2. Could we auto record with 32 bit float whenever we press record on camera? Is there a setting to do this?

[@loganwelch3561]

Great video! I would love to hear more about the High Pass Filter setting!

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

Absolutely loving these mics!

[@dunnadidit]

But are you old enough to remember “back off get your own sandwich”?

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

@@dunnadidit subway is my fave

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

Oh nevermind... For some reason I remember it being a subway commercial, but its Maple Leaf 😌

[@deerinmyyard8430]

Nice looking kit. One thing I noticed right away at 4:05 is the gloss finish reflects the light as you move around. It becomes a bit of a distraction. WHen I first saw it, my eyes were drawn to it, then I couldn't stop watching the reflection as you moved around.

[@dunnadidit]

Great point! Definitely a bit on the shiny side!

[@themastersvoice8636]

Greetings.Thank you for your video. Please guide me , regarding the use of Rode Wireless PRO, as wireless hands free mic for public address for mega church meetings etc. where preacher and interpreter stands together with their mobiles etc. 1) Rode Wireless PRO being GHz,will our mobiles,wi-fi etc.interfear with it's signals, so that the voice gets affected?( Not saying about feed back, but about interferences from other signals ) 2) Can Rode Wireless PRO receiver be connected directly to the sound amplifier or is it possible only through a mixer ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW,IF IT IS FINE TO GO FOR IT FOR MY SPECIFIC USE ?

[@benjaminwhatever]

fall vibes are coming in already! so different here, it's funny changing countrys and skipping out on winter haha

[@dunnadidit]

Haha yeah they’re almost over at this point!

[@wars71]

I think this is an amazing wireless microphone for the price. I also have DJI Mic and Hollyland Lark Max, but I think that out of the box the sound of RWPro are more full and pleasant, for my voice. I love it much more than others, even they are all fantastic products. I love more the solution of Hollyland Lark Max in term of Display and touch future and the solutions of connecting to camera/mobile/computer of the DJI Mic. Another good video! 😉

[@NewHorizonsTravel]

Very useful and informative!Have a great day👍🥰

[@dunnadidit]

I’m so happy to hear that! You too!

[@HowiSpangler]

The Sum 41 lyrics were a nice touch 😂 great video!

[@chris-colton]

Great review! Thanks for sharing! How do you find the audio compares to the dji mic? I'm very tempted to switch. I really don't like the shiny exterior though - it reflects pretty badly!

[@dunnadidit]

I could go with either one without really noticing much to be honest. These kind of built on transmitter mics or even lav mics generally don't sound super great because of size and placement and always require some kind of extra work to get them sounding how I like (compared to a nicely place shotgun mic). You're very right about the shiny front, I feel like we'll see a lot of people with a lot of black gaff tape soon haha.

[@corkeuro]

Well done I was looking for someone show how timecode work with resolve thanks.

[@dunnadidit]

Happy to help!!

[@ReginaldVandeVelde]

Good review! Have a Davinci Resolve question: you've synced the footage with the audio; and it shows linked in the Edit page. Does synced audio also shows up linked in the Cut page, and more importantly: in the source tape window? So when you scroll your footage, the clips have the linked audio?

[@dunnadidit]

If you right click you clips in the media pool and set up the audio as you need it, it should use that audio everywhere!

[@stephanmaurer5249]

I don’t understand why I can’t fix the TX on the cold shoe of the suspension of the videomic ntg. Engineer or manufacturing error?

[@dunnadidit]

Weird! I put mine on the suspension all the time, it’s not like a “perfect fit” or anything but it works nicely for me!

[@LukeAntunes]

Bummed cuz I picked up the Hollyland kit about 2 months ago, but don't think I will upgrade at this time. Maybe next time, or if I damage them lol. Great video as always, Dunna!

[@JaymieJones]

Same here!

[@dunnadidit]

I hear you, thats probably just GAS talking though. In the end, they're both great units and there's definitely nothing wrong with the Hollyland ones! If you're talking about the Lark Max, it still has some advantages like size and the noise reduction too!

[@JaymieJones]

@@dunnadiditYea 100% agree, quite enjoying the Lark Max, although not using the built in NC, very happy with the quality all round.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Great breakdown and explanation…..honestly I have been super happy with the Sony auto mode…I don’t even have to worry about a lot of post editing work. I use it on my K3M & ECM-B1M. 32bit is great but more work in post.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks dude! That’s great that you found what works for you! I never could trust auto levels unfortunately.

[@PaulFeinberg]

@@dunnadidit that’s a bummer. But 32bit is great.

[@CoffeeScribe]

Wow! Thanks. You're so good. Loved the review.

[@labrahamabraham9033]

Thank you sir. Also please guide me .Can I use these mics replacing a hands free wireless lavalier mic which has transmitter,and a receiver .That way to address from a stage,like a pastor teaching his congregation during church meetings . ? Please confirm.

[@AdalbertoAlmeida_81]

Fun video and informative!

[@dunnadidit]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@masionski]

So, HollyLand Lark Max or these????

[@jbsworkshop]

I only have a iPad Pro that I use LumaFusion on.can I download audio files directly to the iPad Pro from the wireless pro?

[@KurtDeMeuterFilms]

Great review ! I just bought the RWpro, still have a question after testing. When I import the 32bit float track into Final Cut Pro, the track is so quit, like -30db and I always need the compressor plugin + volume to lift the decibels to go to -12. I had the same problem with the DJI pocket 3 mic (32bit). Do you have any advice for me ? Thx !

[@FutureRideshareMillionaire]

The audio on this video is so good.

[@jaywbus]

always enjoy your outdoor settings! those studios that everyone has gets boring

[@danielgray1874]

Can I still use the 32 bit float backup file when transmitting to the camera? Assuming of course that I press the record button? I want to transmit to the camera, but I want the option of using the 32 bit float file for the entirety of the recording if the audio levels don't sound great. I realize people use the 32 bit file when the 24 bit recording loses signal to the camera, but I want the option of using the entire 32 bit internal recording, after transmitting to the camera. Someone help me out!

[@dunnadidit]

You sure can! I almost always record both. Then you only really NEED the 32 bit one if the 24 bit one is not satisfactory for some reason

[@maxhammer4067]

What are better quality the on board mics or the lav mics ??

[@dunnadidit]

I did a test of them for you to hear in the video. Personally, I think the onboard mics sounded a bit better. Probably because they aren’t stuck being as tiny as a Lav.

[@user-nu8bf3bf9m]

Thanks for the great review! I have a question. When you set your rec button of a TX on top as 'always' what happens if you press the rec button (not Ø button)? Does it stop the recording or it doesn't stop until you put the tx back to the charging case? I watched many videos and it seems like you can disable Ø button, but for rec button on top, you can only toggle between either 'always' or 'Manual'. Doesn't that mean you can still accidentally stop the recording when you hit rec button on top even if you set it to 'always'?

[@SretloW]

Can i use 3 transmitters? thanks

[@JaimeJMarrero]

not an audio nerd, but that was a great explanation

[@dunnadidit]

That’s the ultimate endorsement! I am an audio nerd so making things make sense to non audio nerds is the goal!

[@leeaxon01]

Hello. I have found this channel by luck and love it. Can you please advise if you can 'recover' audio in 32bit within Premier Pro? I have just been doing some tests and I'm still clipping massively and can't seem to get the results other people and yourself have. I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

[@greenmedic88]

I completely missed that it ships with a pair of Rode lav mics that do factor into the higher cost, relative to the DJI or the Hollyland Max (currently available for $269 with a pair of their lav mics), even though the internal 32bit recording for reduced audio spike clipping and maybe the timecode are the real value here. Expect DJI and Hollyland to follow suit.

[@lukeae2001]

would this be alright for recording singing

[@ZietInvests]

9:38 this cant be coincidental!! haha great review!

[@NordicPlantLover]

That Sum 41 line spoken like that tho 😂. It sounded so familiar, but took me a while to realize what song it was.

[@danielruff5693]

In too deep by Sum41!! Recognised it earlier than fallout boy last time! 😁 Thanks for the video ❤

[@dunnadidit]

Nice catch! Thanks for watching!!

[@sandrathomas-pk7kq]

HI DUNNA , DO YOU EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE EYE STRAIN AFTER USING SONY A7IV ? MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS HAVE SAID THAT THEY EXPERIENCE A LOT OF EYE STRAIN AFTER USING OR WATCHING VIDEOS SHOT WITH CAMERAS LIKE A7IV, A7C,etc. THEY ALSO COMPLAIN ABOUT SWOLLEN AND PUFFY EYES DUE TO THE EYE STRAIN CAUSED BY THESE CAMERAS. ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE? CAN SONY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IF IT EXISTS?

[@dunnadidit]

No I’ve never had this issue at all with any of my cameras. Also, I would recommend removing your caps lock before leaving comments. I know people find it a bit annoying and the youtube spam blockers may hide your comments.

[@swapnilchavan7355]

Initially, I thought you baught your lunchbox with you 😂

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

😂 that time code sounds-like list

[@EfekanOrtanci]

Hi Duanna, I'm an amateur filmmaker and I have a budget of 150 dollars. Can you recommend me a shotgun microphone that will give me the best performance on the market. (outdoor shooting and longer distance performance) I have "sennheiser mke 600" in mind but due to the very bad exchange rate in my country I can't exceed 150 dollars. And I wanted to ask you because I respect your opinion on this subject.

[@1pac882]

Considering your budget and long distance shooting, have a look at the Hollyland Lark C1 or M1

[@EfekanOrtanci]

@@1pac882 I can't hide lavalier mics on movie shoots and generally need ambient sounds, so it has to be a shotgun mic.

[@dunnadidit]

That’s a tricky price point unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot that I’m super familiar with around $150. I think you were on the right track with the mke600, you may want to look into the deity smic or the rode ntg2 as well but they’re still above your budget so you’d need to find a used deal or something like that. If you’re okay with a 3.5mm jack microphone, I really like the rode videomic go ii and it’s within your budget and sounds great but has no xlr. I wish I had better news for you but hopefully this was somewhat helpful.

[@EfekanOrtanci]

@@dunnadidit Oh, I just realized. I wrote 150 instead of 250. I apologize for my typo, "250$ budget" Thank you for your advice though.

[@PiecesofVinyl]

If you are on the fence - or don't have the money - dont worry - JANUARY 2024 is when you will get yours - unless you have over 10K subs - then you will get one tomorrow. But for the rest of us - JANUARY. Like seriously - not just to dump on creators here - but - the product is either sold out - or grossly understocked - IE. they underestimated its demand. Sending it to EVERY INFLUENCER with over 10k subs - you could have SOLD those to US - the REAL PAYING customers. Honestly - did you sell more PROS because Jevnen and Curtis and Dunna and Caleb and Gerald and TLDR and so on and so on - all made the same reviews?? Im not mad these guys got free ones - I'm mad they got free ones - when the PAID FOR ONES are out of stock. Customer FIRST!

[@WarrenWeekly]

There’s two in stock at my local camera shop 😅

[@PiecesofVinyl]

@@WarrenWeekly good for your local shop. And still bad on Rode for sending all of these out for free and not being able to keep up with demand for the paying customer.
