You helped me fix my buzzing noise on my a6600! I was getting worried I was gonna have to buy more accessories to use this mic... THANK GOD & THANK YOU.
Dude,, this was super helpful. No bs, please keep making your videos like this, simple and easy to understand for dummies like me! I'm trying to use the rode for my sony a6000 but no audio jack! I think I need an adapter. Thanks for the video!
@@Qbands8 Yes! I just did. The jack is "kinda hidden", it's on the same side as where you connect the camera to the computer, but just a little up and to the left.
Hey! Thank you so much for this. 2 quick questions. There is some 'noise' when recording quiet voices. Is there any way of getting rid of this? And if I am doing an interview with someone, we just wear one mic each and all is good? Would you recommend a levalier? Thanks again!
That hissing noise is a pain for sure. You can try using the hum or noise removal in the audio tab of final cut pro if you use that. Voice isolation may help sometimes. Wearing a mic each should be sufficient. Wearing a lavalier is better if you want to have a cleaner look to your video without showing the mic, or at least showing less of it depending on what you’re shooting and what you’re going for.
Hello I speak very loud in my videos, it would be better set the microphone at -27? and one more question, have I to do specific things if plug the mic to my iphone? if I make a video with other people I should rec in stereo or in mono? which one is better thank you tho!
In the end check the levels on your camera to see if it’s really that loud. So if -27 is perfect, then you’ll see it on your screen to see if the levels are too high or too low. I haven’t tried plugging into my phone before but you nay need an adapter if you dont have a 3.5mm port. With other people I would record in stereo just in case levels different too much. And then edit in later in post.
@@MikeBSalazar Thank you for everything! about iphone i use a Rode USB c - lightning cable and it works great! about the camera, if I film in automatic mode the rec level still at 1? thank you again, I subscribed to your channel :)
I’m getting the Rode Go for my 360 camera set up, Do I really need to get the Go 1 or Go 2? Since I just attach the transmitter to the camera to capture natural audio it to my 360 and film party recap events but I’m not doing interviews and need 2 transmitters, so which option would you recommend?
thanks for the tutorial:) do you know if the mic can work as a non wireless setup too? E.g putting the transmitter on the top of camera and use it without the receiver? I want to just mount the mic onto the camera sometimes without having to use both transmitter and receiver / just have the mic mounted onto the top rather than the receiver if that makes sense?
You could do it this way, but you would have to sync the audio in your video editor software. I recommend that you use a shotgun microphone instead of this wireless system if thats the setup u prefer.
Hey Mike! 4:23 you say there is no number there, but the number 1 is there still. What do you mean by no number? I clicked both buttons and now all numbers disappeared and there is no recording at all. How to get it back?
hi! i just bought these for my sony a7siii and i also have a sony ECM-B1M shotgun mic...i'm confused as to whether or not i should be finding a way to use both the sony shotgun mic and the rode mics. do you have any advice?
Great video, new to the rode wireless mic set up. Quick question. If the volume is to low do you first boost the receiver mic gain first OR gain on the transmitter? Thanks mate. Much love from Spain 🇪🇸
This is SO helpful. Thank you! One question about stereo audio. Does the person being recorded need to wear both mics, then? Or does pressing and holding both buttons on the receiver and linking 1 and 2 do the trick?
is there a splitter or anything to set up 2 recivers to your sony camera so you could get 4 mics? Trying to figure out how to get 4 mics for when I'm on sites to film and get audio with 4 rode wireless go II's. I have a Sony a7IV camera.
I’m recording on a Panasonic GH4 and that AUX cable creates some pretty bad high-pitch buzzing for me that comes across in the audio recording. If I touch the cable it goes away a little. I replaced it with my original RODE Go wireless cable and it goes away. Ugh! What gives?
I have the canon eos mark ii which has the flip up screen. Because if the flip up screen, I can’t connect my receiver to the top of my camera. Can you any suggest any mount that will help me connect the receiver to the side of the camera?
is this a 6D or a EOS M50? There isn't too many accessories for this unless you look for a camera cage specific to this model that will have a cold shoe for you to place it.
My fx30 will be delivered this week! I have a rode wireless ii mic but I'm wondering if it will work flawlessly on my camerw despite not having the XLR top handle... Have any of you guys ran into any issues or is it okay?
Hi Thanks a lot this is really really well explained and very useful. Also if you could please suggest / help how can I do settings in my camera for a Sony Model AC UB-10D if I connect a RODE Reciever to it
I would use the microphones plugged into my camera, and have my camera connected to my laptop. Then when live streaming using the audio and video from my camera.
hey bro I'm having trouble merging it into STEREO , I have press and hold the two Botton on the receiver but it won't merge ? is there any other way I could merge them together ?
Dumb question. Should I merge them like you showed at the end and only talk into 1 mic if I only Intend on filming talking head videos? First time I filmed I did it as is out of box and it was only in 1 ear, but I was able to fix in post. Second time I recorded I merged the audio and it sounds kind of iffy (only have turned 1 of the 2 mics on). Any input helps!
If its just a single person talking, I would just merge the audio to save time and post. But if you’re going to use two different microphone sources, like clip one on your shirt and plug one into a overhead boom mic, then sure use to separate channels (1+2) for each mic. If things are still “iffy” play around with your audio gain on the receiver if you think you need a lower gain.
Hey I just had a question, I’m trying to record audio from inside an engine bay and I connected the mic to my camera and set the audio record level to 1 in camera and -30db in the mic, but it’s still resulting in blown out audio, I was wondering do you have any solutions to fix this?
@@MikeBSalazarFor the last three days, I’ve tried different combination of settings on my A7 IV and for some reason, can’t get my audio to sound clear like yours.
@@MikeBSalazar Sony A7iii. But i looked at other videos and other people are saying theyre having the same problem and it might be a problem with sony . Everytime i plug in this mic it wont work on my a7iii but it works fine with my Zv1
You may be recording left or right audio. You can change this in your editing software and just change the audio to mono so it comes out on both sides.
@@MikeBSalazarthat’s mean if I chose mono I can use just one mic to records and I’ll hear everything in both aside if I use headphone? So I just have to press and hold both buttons and wait to see only one bar on the receiver?
What camera are you using with your Rode Wireless Go II?
Sony a6400 & Sony a7iii
Canon m50
Sony A7RIII
Short, precise and to the point. No bla bla bla bs.
Thank you so much.
Picking up my Canon M 50 today this made life so much easier thank you bro. I really appreciate it.!!
Glad it helped!
You literally saved my life! I'm shooting with a Sony Alpha 6600 and this tutorial was exactly what I needed!!
Glad you found this helpful
@@MikeBSalazarwhy put audio rec level at 1 and not at 0?
So helpful, thank you! These tips worked great for my Fujifilm as well. And I'm so glad I FINALLY figured out how to record in stereo.
Glad it helped!

Will this work with the Sony EV-10?

awesome, the video I desperately searched for
Glad it helped!
this was the most helpful video on these mics that i've watched yet- thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This might sound like a dumb question, but I have to make sure. I can't connect both this mic and an additional flash to the A6400, right?
You can, you would just have to buy a cage that has a hot shoe mount. I have and easy rig cage and it comes with 2

V Informative! What db level do you recommend while shooting outdoors? -6 or 0? I shoot Vlogs mostly.
Thanks!
Depends on your talking volume but I usually do in between -12 and -6

I leave the mic gain alone and just adjust the gain on the receiver.
Worked perfectly! Thank you!!

It's 45 minutes...
This is SO helpful. Thank you! One question about stereo audio. Does the person being recorded need to wear both mics, then? Or does pressing and holding both buttons on the receiver and linking 1 and 2 do the trick?
If you combine 1 and 2, a single talent only has to wear one mic.
Should you keep the same volume settings if you're using the lav mic?
Yeah the same applies.
is there a splitter or anything to set up 2 recivers to your sony camera so you could get 4 mics? Trying to figure out how to get 4 mics for when I'm on sites to film and get audio with 4 rode wireless go II's. I have a Sony a7IV camera.
I have the same RODE Wireless Go2 but my screen is different and i Cant change the Db

Just make sure to set your cameras, recording volume to one so that it doesn’t get mixed up with all the incoming audio from the rode microphone.
Helpful! Thanks.
You’re welcome!
If you were doing live events and livestreaming the event online using these mics how would you do this?
I would use the microphones plugged into my camera, and have my camera connected to my laptop. Then when live streaming using the audio and video from my camera.
hey bro I'm having trouble merging it into STEREO , I have press and hold the two Botton on the receiver but it won't merge ? is there any other way I could merge them together ?
Thats correct. I believe you may be able to change it via your computer if you plug in your receiver using the Rode Central app.
yess it works cheers bruhhh@@MikeBSalazar
do you reckon this will work on the sony zvf1 ?
Definitely will work
@@MikeBSalazar Thank you so much for answering !!
Thank you for this great Video! 💪😍

Did u ever figure it out ? I create car content as well just wondering if you did just incase i want to record in an engine bay with the mic

I connected the receiver to the camera and the mic is on, the receiver has a signal, but the channels on the camera aren’t receiving audio. Any tips?
Are the receiver and mic not connected? Turn on the receiver first and then the mic.
I have a Sony FDR AX53 HandyCam did anybody have the Right Settings for that pls?
How do you use if there are 2 people and 2 mics? Do you record separately or in stereo together? Is it the same settings you used?
I record separately in stereo, left and right.
Thanks man

How you record?
Directly to the mic?
How can I connect my ride wireless Go ll with my Sony xdcam z 150
Should be able to plug into any 3.5mm microphone jack.
For some reason, my levels always clip no matter if I have it on -12db or -3db
Perhaps the in camera microphone isn't set to 1 or the levels need to be lowered on the mic.
