RØDE - Wireless PRO

Are you looking for on camera shotgun mic? or wireless lav mics? I use the Rode Wireless Pro for lavs and I've liked them quite a bit. Range is good, sounds is good, kit comes with a lot and they record internally for a backup if the sinal cuts. For on camera shotgun I use the Rode Video Mic Pro and it's also great though I think I'd like to try the Sennheiser MKE 400 I've heard good things and I don't wanna have to keep buying 9v volt batteries for the Rode. Also I have a Rode NTG 5+ and with an xlr to 3.5mm cable I've used it with my Z6III succesfully so I guess that's an option too if you need a longer or ofcamera shotgun.

This is the way. Just to add I'd look for the RODE mini if you're going with them since it's more inline with the iphone shooting style. If you're planning on moving on to shooting on a camera at some point I'd save up for the wireless pro.

Just the one that came with it. I have this unit and love it. Use with my iPhone and also Z8 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1782756-REG/rode_wipro_wireless_pro_2_person_compact.html

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.

I don't really get the naming convention. This is a downgrade for me as a professional. I just sold my Rode Wireless pro which has 32bit, a locking 3.5mm jack, but it was bulkier. I'm currently looking at Holland Max 2 since it is modular with the jack and the size it's ok. The DJI mic 3 is a lot like their mini and the Holland Mark M2, plus the 32 bit and timecode features at triple the price. Very unexpected

I recently went from the Hollyland Lark M1 to the Rode Wireless Pro. I'm certainly no pro but it's worth the extra money from my perspective. I'm doing outdoor/bike-related Insta/Youtube content on different devices - phone, Insta360 Go3, Sony A6K depending on the location. The M1 used to clip heaps and would pick up so much wind noise even with wind protection. The Rode I can do voiceovers on the bike in 50km/h winds and it's super clear. I also no longer have to use the phone for recording on all devices, I just use the Rode on-board recording and sync audio later on.

I've seen some videos using the DJI Mic 2 and they sound quite good as well. I think it's hard to go past for someone already in the DJI universe. And they are smaller if you're wanting to mount directly instead of using a lav. The Rode doesn't have noise cancelling but I have the GainAssist (auto-gain?) function turned on. I have recorded from both internal mic and the included Lavalier II - the lav seems a bit better and you can hide it easier. I just use the receiver to monitor the levels but could be plugged into a phone as well. Here's a quick example comparing the Go3 onboard mic to the Rode Wireless Pro w/ Lav II. I clipped the lav under my T-shirt with just the foam cover and it seems to work well. The fluffy cover out in the wind (clipped to the collar) is very similar - I just wanted the mic hidden for other shots where you can see me. [https://youtube.com/shorts/fRNDxKEuuK0](https://youtube.com/shorts/fRNDxKEuuK0) I should do a comparison with the Hollyland as well - it is good for the price, just wanted a little step up after getting a few videos under my belt.

Just flip the mic inside the shirt (clip on outside) and it's already 80% better when doing run and gun shoots. Edit: even better, the pro comes with magnet clips, use that, mic underneath.

I had 2 pairs of DJI mics (1rx 2tx) combos and the output jack of the receiver wore out on both, the cable wasn’t able to be held in fully seated after 2 years of heavy usage for 2 years. DJI fixed them both honouring the warranty, but it’s a thing to keep in mind to treat them well. Now I moved back to Rode (the very expensive Wireless Pro). Also Hollyland is very worth the price, their gen 1 stuff was so better than the rest of the pack at the time.

i have in the studio 2 set of Rose Wireless pro and now a 4-channel set of DJI Mic 3. I also had 2 sets of DJI Mic 1, sold them because their capsules are so crap compared to rode’s, even the mic 3s produce a worse result audio-wise, on the rodes the actor can scream in the microphone and they don’t clip, the djis start distorting as soon as somebody laughs

Excellent information. Thank you very much. I decided to go with the RODE Pros. Seems like the best all around with plenty of options

Purchased! Thank you for the suggestion. I knew in my gut which one to get, but I just want confirmation. I do like the mic 3 but doesn’t look like it will give me as many options as I grow and learn how to use these correctly. They are all around the same price too. I ended up getting the RODE pro two mix set for $299. I can record ambient sounds from one mic with on board storage and the other one clipped to me recording with the camera not recording to on board storage. Not sure I need to do both mics this way. It sounds like the one recording ambient noise should be recorded onboard. What if I try to transmit the shotgun mic over wireless, do I lose most of that audio quality? Sorry for the poorly worded question lol

Only one the Rode Wireless Pro, the cheaper ones it doesn't screw on :)
