Yes

Yes it should but I have not yet tried it personally.

@@TalksInTransit1 yes you can use this wireless shotgun mic setup and the 2nd wireless mic as a backup/lapel mic simultaneously. Just remember to have the receiver set to ‘stereo’ so that the 2 wireless mics will be separated (left and right channels).

@@A7mad. no that set up does not work. The MKE 600 needs phantom power which the wireless pro can not provide.

@@42Pros I think mke 600 can work with battery

@@MyGigChronicles it should but I have not personally tried that set up. I would reach out to Rode about that to confirm.

@@osawatomie I just changed out the batteries for the first time back in June.

@@42Pros since the upload of your video on them?

Check to see if your WirelessGo mics are in stereo (which I’m guessing they are in stereo) or mono. If the mic is in mono then either the cable or the audio port on the camera is bad. Hope this helps.

I’m going to assume that the NTG’s gain was set to 11 since you didn’t plug the receiver into a camera. With that said, the volume of the receiver (that you listen to with your headphones) that you hear will be based on the receiver’s output volume (that usually goes to your camera) which is the “volume” on the receiver. This volume setting will hardly ever match the input volume of the recorded audio. In order to record good audio to the TX internally, you will have to rely on the gain input meter/signal bar (green/yellow/red bar) that is viewable on the RX. With that said, just about 100% of the time I’ll use a noise removal plugin/effect, a compressor and some volume adjustments at a minimum to help with the volume of the talent that is speaking. I have another video regarding this set up that has a screen shot of some of my audio effects that I use in FCP X. Hope this helps.

@@42Pros yes, but I claim that the audio is a bit silent based on listening to the final recording on pc. In compatison to the audio from the intro of your video for example, my audio is simply not that loud.

Hate to hear that you were disappointed. If you bought the bi-color version of this light then the output will be half of the one in this video. The link in the description (YONGNUO YN 300 III (5600K)) is for the light that I use; and still use today. Hope this helps.

The adjustment dial on the back of the NTG is to set the INPUT GAIN (or signal strength) for the Wireless Go II's transmitter/mic. If you have that too hot (too loud) then the audio will get brittle and distort. The db adjustment on the receiver was to set the internal audio of the camera so that I can get as close to perfect in-camera that I possibly can to speed up my work in post. When you get your mic, take the time to set it up like I demonstrated and simulate an interview (record a short clips of you talking). Then, use the NTG's "volume dial" and set it higher to the point where the Wireless Pro's receiver displays the signal bar peaking well into the red (over driving the input) and record another interview clip and then play back the 2 recordings and listen to the difference in the audio. It will make MUCH MORE sense. This technique is called setting your 'gain structure' in live performance sound production (front of house, concerts and such). It helps with getting the best signal-to-noise ratios that make for really clean audio.

That is a standard microphone stand.

Thanks Ashley.

It's a standard weighted microphone stand that I have had for years. I think it was roughly $70 about 10 years ago. Sorry that I can't help out with a specific model number but you can do the same thing with an unweighted stand if you use a sand bag to hold it down while fully extended. The Rode RM5 is what the VideoMic NTG is mounted to; the cold shoe mount slides in the slot of the mic clip.

The Lens is still an f2-f2.8 when used on the a6XXX cameras. What you read was concerning the field of view comparison regarding the APS-c sized sensor vs a full frame sensor. The aperture will be the f2-2.8. The camera DOES NOT limit this lens to f3-4.5. You will find that this lens is one of the best lenses to have on your a6600 for every occasion.

It worked it for me, but I had to use both the TX and RX. Sucks we cant use that built in receiver!

I don't think so BUT I would definitely reach out to Rode's customer service for more information. That mic was designed to record VO/vocals and musicians without having the need of an interface; XLR and usb connectivity. If you can, reply again with what you find out from Rode.

@@42Pros I contacted them, and this was their reply: "Hey there, it's not possible to connect the two because the NT1 5th Generation requires P48 phantom power, where as the Wireless PRO can only supply plug-in power." Do you think we can develop a workaround? 😊

It seems that transmitter is mono. So we cannot get stereo output in this use case?

@MickeoL if you have the rode wireless go to (or pro), you can use the rode SC 11 cable out of your camera and into both transmitters so that you can wirelessly transmit stereo audio. hope this helps.

Hi My signal get toooo hot into the headphones with distortion. I have try get the output from headphones jack, line out but the same results, sounds really bad… I have also try to put down the volume inside the rode unit but no different. Are this reslly works with clean audio?

@@dannepedersen I'm reading into this at the moment and as far as I understand from my research, the phones out has too much power as the transmitter expects a Mic signal. There are attenuator cables with 35dB dampening to correct this. Search for Line-to-Microphone attenuator cable. So I guess we would need one of those for each channel on top and we should be good. So the distortion you're experiencing is probably happening on the transmitter, not the receiver. Can't test that yet, though...

If anyone's tried using this with dual transmitters to get a stereo signal at the receiver I'd love to know if it works and is semi-reliable for home-studio use. I'm worried it might introduce phase issues or other problems that may be hard to predict. Haven't seen anyone online trying this setup yet :)

I have not had any gear to be damaged from using the 5800 while flying. I have had my lid to compress slightly because I forgot to adjust the valve but nothing was damaged, not even the case itself. I still have it and use it for air travel to this day.

@@42Pros thanks for the info. I decided to buy it. I don’t know much about the auto and manual pressure valve but I am glad I went with jt. So do u know if I just have to open the valve when flying? Or close it before the flight? Thanks!

@@ez591same question here! Just flew for the first time with mine and now I can’t open it! It’s slightly concave and the valve release does nothing!! Hope I can open it by morning when we start production. 😂🤣

@@geraldhartleydid it work ?

@@mattlocdproductionsyes it finally released

The cold shoe adapter can unscrew from the quick release adapter. The ball head is not removable from the arms and the quick release system doesn't appear to have any removable pins or screws that would allow the quick release system to be removed from the arms. If the quick release system doesn't work with your setups then iFootage does offer a version without it. Hope this helps.

@@42Pros Thanks, that is really good to know. I asked because I'm tired of buying magic arms that twist under load or when it is load bearing in the wrong direction. It's hard to find affordable magic arms with anti-twist. Cheapest ones are the short blue Smallrig ones with the o-ring ball heads and hidden tightening tool in the handle. The problem about those is that it's too short. Hopefully the iFootage spider crabs are worth 2-3 times the price.

I forgot to mention even sturdier looking magic arms like Smallrig's $30-50 have unscrewed from between the ball head and the gnarled thumbscrew mounting head. Looks can be deceiving. So I have to double triple check before I buy now.

@@FireLiteCreations I have used the 7" with the clamp for a few different occasions where it held a Sony a7iv, 16-35 GM and a Video Mic NTG without moving or losing grip. It's worked very well for me so far.

You can definitely use it as an on-camera light but it’ll still be more of a “hard light” as oppose to true diffused lighting.

Just use the diffuser insert and open the barn doors and you’ll be fine.

@@42Pros Thanks!

4 channels of audio... you would have the DJI or Rode WG2 mics on individual channels to edit in post AND you would have the should gun audio on channels 3/4. Since I do a lot of documentary run and gun style filming I have had to used the shotgun mic audio more than once and that has saved me from a lot of headaches and added work because I had the "extra audio" as a back up.

@@42Pros thanks a lot sir for the quick reply. That makes sense!
