RØDE - Wireless GO (Gen 3)

I use my iPhone 14 as a webcam (easy if you have a Mac). I record the video (HD) directly to my computer for easy editing. I use an external mic (Røde). it has worked better than my Android (Pixel 9), the Sony (ZV-1F Vlog), and a bulky Canon with lens.

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.

Get a wireless microphone system with a 3.5mm plug, something like the Rode Wireless ME. Plug it into the mic input on the laptop. It runs on 2.4 MHz, not Bluetooth. Interference could be a factor but at the ranges involved in presentations, I have never had a problem with my Rode wireless mics.

Have used sennhisers and rode. But I learned my lesson. I go xlr into a Scarlett and to my mac. Gave up on wireless.

Bruh. I’m sorry but you are making your life harder and harder. Why you are aiming so high? Do you already have 100k views every video or you are starting off from scratch? Get a GoPro Hero 3/4 to record footage in 1080p (I use my iPhone XR and got studio lights for 15€) and a mic like Rode Wireless Go (but look for some knockoffs on Amazon for $30-40) (I use studio mic with usb adapter connected to the iPhone) and edit on your current laptop (list the specs) using Davinci Resolve (the free version) where you can cache your playback so it’s smoother. If the budget allows get a ThinkPad with a ryzen processor (they have better APU than intels) and you are good to go (used you can get for less than $200). Why MacBook? I edit my 1080p videos on a ThinkPad L14 Gen1 with Ryzen 7 Pro and 32GB RAM. I got a 2TB ssd, a case with usb-c for it and that’s it. You won’t hit 1k subs even in the first 3-4 years probably (but I hope you’ll hit 1mln in that time) so why you stress like that?

Blue Yeti when I'm seated indoors, for portable / wireless lav /outdoor, Rode Wireless. DJI mic is also an excellent choice

If you already have and like Rode, The Wireless Go II is about $219 (I have it, it sounds fantastic and you can record stereo or do interviews because it has two transmitters and the receiver has its own memory, all three fit in a pocket, and though it's not bluetooth it has much longer range) and you can get the older version with a single transmitter for $144. I've carried these for a couple years now and have heard unprompted positive comments from people on the good mic quality.

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).

Save up and get either the Rode wireless or a DJI wireless... Great quality, and guaranteed results.
