Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. And thank you for doing the work Rode should have done explaining how to properly place the mic in the clip. I ended up breaking my clip on the first day simply because Rode did not think it a good idea to provide any instructions. So again, thank you for doing what Rode should have done.
I used the special digital audio cable from Rode. The SC15 USB-C to Lightning cable. This is not a standard charging or data sharing cable. It is specifically designed for audio only. Hope that helps.
Maybe you answered this in another video but I don’t have time to scroll around and watch so please answer a question for me… Is there any way I can use this particular Rode lav directly to an iPhone?
Ok, very beginner here - when you've attached the lav and plugged the lav into the transmitter, where is the transmitter placed? Not a very long cable from the lav to the transmitter ...
I have the mic and like it, but unfortunately lost the clip to it and I cannot find the proper replacement for it, even on the Rode site. Very frustrating.
Is there an over-the-ear frame that will place the lav in front or beside my mouth. For commentating a game of lawn bowls I want to talk softer and don't really want the talk on the green to pick up the chatter
Thanks for great videos! Quick one will I be able to connect my Iphone 12 via a SC15 cable to the Rode Go2 and then use the apple airpods just like I would using the analog SC6 adaptor with earphones?
Colin, my understanding is that you won’t be able to do that cause the iPhone has switched to the digital input. It would not be using the 3.5mm Jack. You can direct monitor the output of the WG2 from the 3.5mm Jack on the receiver. It is not that loud though.
Using an android phone, is the RODE lavalier GO a plug n play mic, or do I need an audio app? For some reason, I don't think mine is working. It sounds like i'm using the phone's mic. Thanks in advance. Cheers
Sam, the Rode lavelier Go will not work if you plug it into the 3.5mm headset socket of any mobile phone. You would need a Rode smartLav+ to do that. The lavelier Go is designed for a standard mic input like on the wireless go2 transmitters. You can buy the AI-Micro and it will interface this mic with an Android device. Hope that helps Sam.
Gary does your foam windshield come off easily? I can pull mine right off. Shouldn't it have some kind of twist lock mechanism like the wireless go 2 does or does the lav mic 2 not come with that?
@@GaryDmedia it's not loose like it would fall off if you tipped it upside down but I guess I expected more a clicking locking into place. I'm just trying to verify I didn't get a counterfeit product.
Adjusting the gain should not affect digital output (when you use the USB cable to connect to the phone) - it will only affect the analog 3.5mm output. If you adjust the transmitter's gain while recording in Filmic Pro via the digital lead you can see the levels don't change.
@@GaryDmedia Annoying eh that there’s no gain for digital, because different mics come in at different levels, so for streaming it might be better to use the audio lead with adapter.
My rode central just won’t work on either my iPad or either my oppo find x3 or 5. Driving me nuts. I updated the firmware on a laptop, but still no joy.

Thanks Gary, great video.
I really appreciate your feedback, thanks
it amazing with such a precise rich video. Thanks a lot love it
Thanks for letting me know Joseph. I’m glad the video was helpful.
Great video. What cable are you using to connect the transmitter to your iphone?
I used the special digital audio cable from Rode. The SC15 USB-C to Lightning cable. This is not a standard charging or data sharing cable. It is specifically designed for audio only. Hope that helps.
Gary, this video is just superb.
Cheers
Thanks!
Could you show if it’s easy to put the furry windshield on?
Yes much easier than other lav mics. From 0:36 of this video: th-cam.com/video/IwyrYxp1T8M/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you answered this in another video but I don’t have time to scroll around and watch so please answer a question for me…
Is there any way I can use this particular Rode lav directly to an iPhone?
Yes, with the Rode SC4 adapter. If you are using an iPhone with a lightning adapter you will also need the supplied headset adapter. Hope that helps.

That is very frustrating Allen. I purchased other clips for mics on ebay but you would need to match the clasp size.
Thankyou sir you save me always
I appreciate you kind comments. Thanks Sander.
Dear Sir great vid.What is the name of the camera app with levels on it.?Can you spell it.
Is there an over-the-ear frame that will place the lav in front or beside my mouth. For commentating a game of lawn bowls I want to talk softer and don't really want the talk on the green to pick up the chatter
Would you like to make a video with the wireless pro? that would be a big help for me. Best regards
Thanks for great videos! Quick one will I be able to connect my Iphone 12 via a SC15 cable to the Rode Go2 and then use the apple airpods just like I would using the analog SC6 adaptor with earphones?
Huh

Does the microphone work being plugged directly into the receiver without having the transmitter?
Using an android phone, is the RODE lavalier GO a plug n play mic, or do I need an audio app? For some reason, I don't think mine is working. It sounds like i'm using the phone's mic. Thanks in advance. Cheers

Sam, a cheaper alternative is the Rode SC-4. It will adapt the 3 pin plug to a 4 pin plug that will suit the 3.5mm headset socket on your phone.
@@GaryDmedia thanks Gary
Brilliant video. I have been filming women in a corporate setting recently. Always wearing a dress which has made it tricky.
Is it possible to use the Rode Lavalier II without a transmitter or receiver
Gary does your foam windshield come off easily? I can pull mine right off. Shouldn't it have some kind of twist lock mechanism like the wireless go 2 does or does the lav mic 2 not come with that?
Mine is quite firm once it is pushed on. The rubber surround has a little ridge that holds it on. Have you tried pushing it on firmly?
@@GaryDmedia it's not loose like it would fall off if you tipped it upside down but I guess I expected more a clicking locking into place. I'm just trying to verify I didn't get a counterfeit product.
No problem Bodhi, no clicking on mine either. It is snug, not tight.
@@GaryDmedia ok great thanks Gary
Can the receiver take a lavalier mic if connected to iPhone?
Good video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for nice video. It helped us 🥰.
can i record video with this mic from the front camera cellphone. without using rode receiver
I am not able to use a lavier microphone. If I attach them the lavier microphone is on mute. How can I unmute them?
Adjusting the gain should not affect digital output (when you use the USB cable to connect to the phone) - it will only affect the analog 3.5mm output. If you adjust the transmitter's gain while recording in Filmic Pro via the digital lead you can see the levels don't change.
Yes you are right Patrick. Good call.
@@GaryDmedia Annoying eh that there’s no gain for digital, because different mics come in at different levels, so for streaming it might be better to use the audio lead with adapter.
Yes Patrick. I’m currently testing the new AI-Micro in that very configuration with the Wireless Go II. See how it goes.
@@GaryDmedia Apparently the AI Micro has a higher noise floor than the Wireless Go II.
That could be the case. I will check it out.
Hello Gary, great video! Can you share which mic do you use to record this video? Thanks
No problem, I had a Rode VideoMic Pro+ setup on top of my Canon 80D. About 12in or 30cm away from my mouth. Hope that helps.
@@GaryDmedia Thank you for your quick response! That is very helpful. Have a nice time
Thank you for your video. Is that correct that if I will use Filmic pro - i will have video with rode microphone?
My rode central just won’t work on either my iPad or either my oppo find x3 or 5. Driving me nuts. I updated the firmware on a laptop, but still no joy.
Nice Gary! Handy pro practice tips. 👍🏾🙏🏾
Thanks Eugene, I appreciate the feedback.
Thai is amazing, thank you!
I plugged the wire straight into my phone and camera and it's not working, anyone know why.
so helpful thankyou!
which Mic you're using to record this video?
Thank you!
