Wireless GO (Gen 3)

I Use a NADY SCM800 Condenser mic. I use RØde wireless go III or a RØde video mic if I'm feeling fancy

I film car videos but the filming and editing aspect is just as much of a hobby to me as working on the cars is. Sony ZV-E1 Sigma 24-70 DG DN Art ii Rode Go 3 Mics (recently upgraded from a single DJI Mic) Some Smallrig tripod Dji RS4 Mini Delkin Fat Gecko mount I recently got a DJI Action 4 for filming POV driving. And then I have a couple different studio lights for soft lighting.

I have gone with Rode Go3. It has a locking 3,5 connector, and that was crucial for me. The only advange that I onestly see in Dji, is the hotshoe adaptor if you are a Sony shooter. Now, in therms of what lapel I plug in, that is an other question as I have a good selection of mics, ranging from DPA's, Sanken Cos11's and other, all compatible with the Rode (Mic2 from Dji is also compatible, but no locking connector)

I have a Rode wireless go mic which connects to iPhone. With the old ones you could only connect one at a time I think but With the newer ones I heard that you can chain at least two of them but maybe not four

You can keep the F3, keep in mind it only has 2 XLR connectors so you can only record up to 2 mics at the same time. The Wireless Go works to capture dialogue, if you want to record the sounds of nature, I wouldn't recommend it. For voice over you can get different mics, depending on your budget you have a few options. Deity, Shure, Sennheiser, Sanken, Schoeps, Neumann, Oktava and Røde offer mics that will get the job done, don't forget to treat your space or at least get a mic that can reject/minimize the reverb. Any pencil mic will work in interiors such as the Rode NT1, M5. Sennheiser MK4 ,MKH 50 (this one is over 1K USD) Shure MV7X (great for podcast), SM4 or SM7db.

Rode Wireless Go series works well. As some have mentioned, the Zoom line of products work well. If you have some extra money, and you want to improve your overall quality, look for a 32-bit float recorder. You can avoid audio “peaking”. Some pro cameras (DLSRs or Cinema cameras) have some great recording capabilities, even 32-bit float capabilities. I use a Rode wireless with a lavaliere mic for when I’m recording on the go, and a studio setup using a Zoom recorder with XLR boom shotgun mics for my YT set. It produces good quality. If you are looking for something that can help improve overall noise cancellation and damping, and you have the budget, you can also consider picking up sE Electronics Sound Reflections Space (or literally record in a coat closet).

I love Rode. But Wireless Pro is their most expensive. Wireless Micro or Wireless Go would suit you fine.

I own both the Larks and the RODE Wireless GO (Pro and regular) - they’ll all do essentially the same job, but none of them will let you turn the transmitting off. So that’s the only real concern.

Another vote for the MAX 2. I commonly use these in uncontained filming locations like tradeshow floors or event venues where interference can be expected, and knowing that I've got recordings being run right on the transmitters is a godsend. I own 2 sets and have run 4 TX units to one RX - it's useful for monitoring all at once, but I'm generally using the TX ISO recordings in those situations. I also own the RODE GO mic sets for a similar offering, albeit slightly more expensive. The RODE lav capsules are a bit nicer than the Hollyland ones if you go for the GO Pro kit.

Yeah. Pair with B3 or ME2 lav and they work great. I get more issues with my Sennheiser G4 packs than the RODE go.

Røde Wireless Go II Gen. 3 is really solid Wireless lav mic that you can slot into a hot/cold shoe and either record to directly or use the RX and wire in. The DJI Mic 3 also offers 32 bit (I guess Mic 2 as well). The really nice thing about the DJI is the fact that the clip can be rotated so you can choose if it's facing forward or backwards. Both have internal recording if needed. It's a bit hacky and not the best solution, but best hacky solution for the price would be the Zoom H1 Essential. You'll get a lot of recording options and it's VERY light, nearly weightless honestly. It has a 1/4 20 mount so you can get a cold/hot shoe adapter for it and use that. You'll get nearly unlimited recording with its own microSD card and 2AAA batteries. Might be 'another thing' to bring, but it packs a punch and has 32-bit float. For the price and package, you're arguably not going to find something else that offers that, whereas shotgun mics will cost just as much and only record to whatever your camera supports. You can also line in I believe. Honestly haven't tried that part, but possible with the headphone jack to mic port. In theory that would give you in-camera recording + a backup on the Zoom.
