    Love the videos and there's something great that comes from your simple setup. a couple of friends have had great luck with Apple Airpod Pros paired with an iPhone, over the Rode wireless mic. The benefit being they're lighter/simpler and have great noise cancellation, plus when you're not filming you've got a set of earbuds. They're not the most "pro" looking option, but then I think not being "pro" is what makes TH-cam (and your videos) so great. Not being slick and overly produced, run what you brung, all showing that sometimes things are hard, all wraps up to some excellent content.

    Nice video showing all that doubling back on yourself to get those shots!
    The Rode Wireless Go mics *can* be used without the receiver unit plugged into the camera. In other words, you can use it as a standalone microphone and recorder. The downside is that you'll have to manually sync up the sound and images if you're doing a piece to camera.
    If you just want to record, you could use a Rode SmartLav or VideoMic Me microphone direct to your phone. But that may be an issue where you're shooting with your phone too.
    Another, perhaps better option, might be the Zoom F2. It's a tiny recorder that comes with an included lav mic. Clip the mic on and pop the tiny recorder in your jersey pocket. There's no connection to your phone or camera (although a slightly more expensive Bluetooth version allows you to control it from the phone), but if you just want a mic/recorder combo that's tiny and cheaper than the more fully-featured Rode Wireless Go, it's worth looking at. Again, you'll have to do manual syncing of the audio to video with it when you're doing pieces to camera.

    Cool. Thanks. You may have mentioned this but what app / program do you use for editing on your iphone?

    I think if you ever look to buy a wireless mic for yourself, I think for bikepacking this one from DJI would probably tick all the boxes - it seems to have lots of nifty features like the receiver has it's own memory for audio backup should you ride behind an obstacle - sounds useful in itself! Perhaps even as a way to podcast on in addition to Sound recorder app. ( th-cam.com/video/AaNAVkHYYtQ/w-d-xo.html )

      I highly recommend the DJI mic over the road for your situation. I use it for light weight hiking trips with my I-phone. It has a receiver that plugs straight into your phone, has more features than Rode and is smaller and compact with its built in charging case. 👍

    Re mics question @ 6:28 @joshreidadventurer I used to use the Røde but swapped to the excellent DJI Mic. Costly, but worth it for all the innovation (neat things like the magnet you can use to simply attach to clothing, for example). You can record on the (smaller than the Røde) mics themselves, or plug the receiver into your iphone. If doing the former, a simple hand clap in front of the camera will easily allow you to sync audio and video.

    I love the democratising element of the iPhone, the SE model is especially cheap, and whilst the mic isn't great, the lens is superb. As you say, it provides its own edit suite and so with a little experimentation makes us all filmmakers. It is really a pocket computer with a vast array of bolt-on applications, and should have been called the iPod, not the iPhone. Doing away with a microphone makes you tell the story in the cut, Hitchcock would have approved of that. Is there any way of holding the iPhone in your mouth like the GoPro? That would free things up a treat.

    Great video, thanks for a look at your behind the scenes. The simplicity of the iPhone is a reason I’m using it more and more in my bike riding video’s. Just whip it out of your back pocket and start recording. It’s also great for YT Shorts as you can video in portrait mode and immediately upload to YT from the iPhone. I’ve also used a 360 camera which is excellent for getting different perspectives with the same recording, there is a bit more editing work required with the 360 camera’s but i think it’s worth it. Keep up the great YT videos.
