Love the RODE Wireless GO II. I was filming an interview and noticed after a couple of minutes that the mic was muted on my receiver, so there was no audio baked on the videofile, but thanks to the fantastic automatic record function I was able to recover the audio recorded on the transmitters internal storage... That's truly a fantastic feature

Man, the winner in this video is the sound from your boom mic.

The reason it says 43+ hours remaining is because they actually released a firmware update before release that increased the compression capability. "Each transmitter can store over 40 hours of compressed audio. Note this is higher than the 24+ hours stated when the Wireless GO II was launched – our engineers have been able to optimise the storage capability in the latest firmware release compared to the firmware that shipped at launch."

Very comprehensive, looking forward to your comparison test when DJI mic is officially out.

Saved my day, almost bought the previous version. Amazing review, cheers! 😄

I love this for recording acoustic sessions (guitar + vocals). I can have one mic clipped inside my shirt for the voice and one in my pocket with a lav sticking to the guitar, then I'm able to mix guitar and vocals almost separately in post production.

I bought the WG1 because of your video and have loved it. I watched this video when it came out and thought it was super cool but didn't need the upgrade. I just had a job come up where I needed 2 transmitter setup and I came back to your channel to watch this video and buy the WG2 set.

I'm here now getting a refresher on how to get them setup and ready to use them for the first time for a shoot the next 2 days. Thanks for what you do!

[DanielScottFilms]

This video is really a subtle endorsement for the Sennheiser MKH 416 :)

[KarimJovian]

I was hoping you do the test where you turn your back to the transmitter to see if the audio cuts out. The original had that problem. So wasn't great for walking and talking videos

[BryceDearden]

The only way to get good engagement on audio gear reviews is to beat Curtis to the upload. Jokes aside, great video Caleb!

[AyushSharmaa]

This is a killer device, but...

The "always recording" feature is almost a deal breaker for me, as we don't want to rec the audio during mid take. Hope rode fixes the problem by adding some sort of start/stop button on the Rx via firmware update.

[theremingtonjames]

This is what I use in my videos! Best upgrade I made to my vids hands down ✌️

[movetomirrorless]

man, looks like a solid upgrade. I was holding off on getting the original wireless gos, but now, its pretty much a no brainer.

[nathanrodrigues]

This is exactly what I needed for wedding filming

[NursesToRiches]

You're tips for video creators are the best tips of any YouTuber in existence! I upgraded my studio setup on my new channel after watching your videos. I have gotten so many compliments on my new video because of your help. Thank you!

[reclusepilgrim]

This is how a product should be reviewed, without begging for likes and subscriptions.

And you just got both! Well done, sir.

[DrewRomano]

I would love to hear the difference between the wireless audio going straight to the camera vs the audio being recorded into the rode system. It seems to me that the audio recorded internally to the rode system sounds noticeably better. It does make sense seeing it is a direct connection

[OMTEKNO]

The Countryman B3 sounds amazing. Unbelievable sound quality for a tiny water resistant mic.... Good job!

[lorenzhendrik]

Best review so far in regards to the go 2...Really the only one which explains in an excellent way how they work
