Rode Wireless Pro - A REAL Review

Rode dropped the Wireless Pro (I dropped it too, a lot) - and I've got some things to say about it. 32 bit float audio, built in mic that sounds better than a lot of other options, a pretty sweet interface for charging and offloading files.

As a serial yeller, I think you just sold me on that scream test. Thank you for this.

Such a creative way to lay in the commercial seamlessly!

I like all the features in the Rode Wireless Pro's. I'm hoping there is a way or a future update to pair more than 2 mics to the receiver. It would be nice to take advantage of the timecode and 32-bit float in a multi-cam scenario.

You can flip the mic/transmitter so that the shiny side is inside your shirt facing your chest, with only the matte clip showing.

The Rode HS2 omnidirectional headset mic works very well with all the Rode Go series.

An unappreciated gem.

Damn I think the biggest downfall is that the 32 float doesn't get recorded to your camera/footage. I don't want to have to worry about retrieving and syncing the audio on each take or hitting record on each device on every take, super annoying.

You really did a real review 😂, drop them?! I can trust your test. Getting them out of the case isn’t really one of the brightest methods, but at least I can just plug them in and drive to my next job knowing that they’re going to be charged. Great video. I’m loving mine btw

What was the Sennheiser lav mic you used? It sounded pretty good.

[dylanjamesfilms]

Was the audio recorded directly onto camera or did you use the 32 bit float during the sponsored ad reading comparisons?

[bohun]

So I hear same "clicks" on your audio as I do on mine. Any idea what's that? They are kinda rare but very annoying and they stand out.

[GrooveMan]

Can you transmit to the receiver and record inside the transmitters at the same time as a backup?

[KOD_]

Wait so what im using a gopro and recorded a pov is the audio going to separate from the video?

[colewilliams]

The included capsule mics are terrible with this kit. I thought there was something wrong with my actual mics but no, the capsules are just super sensitive

[billkujawa]

I really dislike the red cable Rode includes with those units how about black instead

[wearetrackclub]

Nice review, Tommy! Really insightful stuff 👏

[blaylock]

Great content, thank you. I’m actually looking for an adapter. And what I wonder is if there is something that I can connect my audio technica XLR boom mic to the wireless pro. So I am looking for something that connects to the 3.5 jack, possibly with a screw, and the other side to plug the mic into XLR. I have seen things that are similar, but I’m not sure if they are exactly what I need. So if anyone has any insight on that that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[johnnyweissmuller]

Does the MKE2 work OK or really good? I think there is not optimal BIAS gain voltage from the Rodes?

[amirulrasyidyussof]

just to be clear, when you tested outside, did you apply Hi Pass Filter? thank you

[Boothaus]

Bummer, so you cant record 32 bit from the camera

[FLOODOFSINS]

I'm guessing the software has some kind of tracking or data collection that they are trying to gather so they can resell it to third parties as all companies do.
