When connecting the mic to the transmitter it is best to rotate the transmitter NOT THE MIC. This will reduce the possibility of work-hardening the copper strands in the mic cable that will inevitably lead to an internal break in the wire and a subsequent microphone failure.
So happy to have found this video! I purchase my Wireless Pro two months ago and have been struggling with many of these topics... many thanks to you for taking the time to record and share! Cheers, Salud, Skal, and Prrrrrrrrrrost!!
@@GabrielVIP So I'm running a very simple system: my iPhone and my Rode Wireless Pro to record brewery tours. Do you have any videos on how to increase the recording volume when only using an iPhone? I appreciate everything you shared if using a camera, but some of that doesn't necessarily apply with the iPhone set up... Thanks for all you've shared though... I already have learned a lot that simply wasn't explained in any of the online manuals!
Great video! By the way, you can change the name on your tx by double clicking their names in the rode central app. It will affect on the new files names.
Thanks for sharing. I agree that backup track feature is awesome. It saved me on my recent job. For some reason the connection to the receiver cut out our completely! That one clip I missed would have meant a reshoot.
Hey. Yes, that is really a life saver. Sometimes you can't reshoot and that will really be a huge problem. Like this, I am relaxed and confident in what I do :)
Thanks for this video Gabriel, well done! I was a victim of the locking collar issue you mentioned. I have other lav mics with a locking collar and they cannot be removed. I had expected the same behavior from the Rode mics. I had no idea that the collar is actually threaded on to the Rode connector and can be removed. As a result the first time I used the lav mic on one of my transmitters the connector did not seat properly. Because my receiver was set to MERGE the transmitters, I quickly looked and saw audio on both left and right channels and did not pay close enough attention to the fact that one of the transmitters was not actually sending audio. As a result I had NO AUDIO at all from one of the transmitters. This collar design is unusual. This not a mistake I will make again. You have some great tips in here, thanks again for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us! By the way I also agree with you request to be able to add a prefix to the file name. I don't like that both transmitters have the same exact file names.
Hey. Thank you my friend. In audio we can do so many mistakes… and bad things can happen even if you have experience. This is why is reccomanded to monitor the audio and check the levels all the time. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will achieve great results with your system. If you have questions, let me know. Thank you!
Best Wireless Pro video so far! Thanks for sharing your experience. I can see you actually used it and you know the basics about audio. Even the big ones like Tony Northrup just publish pretty useless content as they don't understand audio and recording.
Hey! Thanks my brother. Audio is pretty complicated, especially on TH-cam videos where we need to keep things as simple as possible, as short as possible and without too many details. Is hard but I want to keep things simple and use full :) Thank you!
Hey! Glad you like it! It depends! If you have big variations in volume when you speak, keep the dynamic or auto activated. If you speak at a constant volume, keep it off!
Thank you! Glad you like it :) Unfortunately, lavalier mics are omnidirectional. You can't do much about it. If you want something more directional, use a shotgun mic. Or you can try and clean it a little bit in post. But with omnidirectional mics... this is the big problem.
Hey. Thank you. I have a camera cage and a cold shoe adaptor. The cage has a ton of mounting points and I can mount a lot of things. What camera do you use? I will check and try to help :)
@@GabrielVIP I just started working with the Panasonic Lumix S5II. I prefer to keep things light and compact, hence the Rode Wireless system ;-). But I was thinking about a cold shoe adapter so I could mount the receiver + videomic. Thanks for the help!
@@ImagineVideoclips I understand. This is a cage for your camera: amzn.to/3RVDw32 and this a cold shoe adaptor to mount on the side of it: amzn.to/3SobTkU The cage will also protect the camera a lot! Let me know if you need more infos and help :)
@@GabrielVIP Thanks! I am also interested in that design from DSLR Videoshooter to attach the receiver to the videomic. It's not in your description or did I oversee something?
Great video. Very helpful. I did notice you are recording in SAFETY mode, and those modes receive no mention in your video. SAFETY seems weird to me, why on Earth would anyone use anything but SPLIT? Thanks.
To make sure I know which files are from which transmitter, I’ll do the export feature to two different folders. My TX1 would go to the folder named “left” and my TX2 would go to the folder named “right.” This is probably the best workaround I can do. But for all you pros out there - what do you recommend? Rode needs to make a 32-bit field recorder similar to and better than the Tascam Portacapture X8. That would be truly AWESOME!
Hey. Thank you! Your workflow if great and solves this problem. Thank you for your support. It will be nice to see a 32 bit float recorder from Rode. Maybe something like Zoom F3?
Thanks for this video! I hate that I have to log into the app for adjusting the mic. I really dont prefer to buy the rode wireless as I'm using my mobile for videomaking during travel so I have to stop filming to just readjust the mike as my need, also its so difficult to carry my laptop during traveling to use the rode app!
Thank you! Glad you like it! Yeah, it's uncomfortable to set things from a phone or laptop but you can’t set it right and let it be like that? Do you change things often?
Hey! Almost all settings. I didn't use the app often, but you have everything you need there. And clearly, they are making updates from time to time :)
I don't have the wireless pro but I always enjoy your tutorials anyway! Here's a question: I have the DJI Mic system, is this worth the change to it if I sell the DJI? I don't use them a ton but they're handy when I do need a wireless mic. Also, second question: when wearing the transmitter on my collar or shirt, every time I move or turn, you can hear the rustling of the shirt etc...its very annoying as it ruins the audio and takes lots of editing time to remove all those sounds...it makes using these a pain. What do you suggest for that?
Hey bro. Thank you for your comment. If you need 32 bit float yes! If you don’t need that, it’s too much effort to sel and buy another one. The difference in quality is there but not that big. Also, change if you use often the lav mic because this has that locking system. DJI doesn’t have that. For the second question…try to use shirts not T-shorts. Lav mics will stay better in a shirt but if you move too much, those annoying sound will still be there. Thank you :)
Thank you for this guide and sharing some great tips! Eagerly waiting to see more set ups using the wireless pro. May be I don’t need to get the zoom f3 after all 😅
Hey bro. Thank you for your comment. Zoom F3 is another kind of tool. If you want to record an XLR mic, that recorder is the best. If you need a wireless system, this is great. It really depends about your needs. I am passionate about sound recording and I try all kind of recorders and most of the time you don’t need something expensive. If you record for TH-cam, social media etc, you are ok with Wireless PRO in 90% of the situations. Thank you for your feedback :)
Thank you for this amazing guide&tips video! I just bought this mic and when im recording with lav mic, my sound coming too low, and taking outside sounds... made me crazy. do you have any idea why happening this? and any recommend please...
Hey! Follow the steps with the volume adjustments from the tutorial. Maybe you need to increase the volume or your lav mic in on reverse... I can't say if I am not there. Check your levels with the lav mic connected.
Great teaching on better sound recording. Thanks a lot. I also wish that RODE update the Pro firmware where all recorded data be automatically grouped inside a folder according to their dates and time of recording in order to have a better organization of audio data just as in Zoom audio recorders. Secondly, inbuild battery will surely die with time, so what is the way forward say, in 2 or more years ahead?
Hey bro! Totally agree! I really hope that the file management will be improved in the future. I am sure that is just a matter of time until they will improve and fix some things. Thank you for your supper and comment :)
Lovely video, thank you Gabriel... so helpful. I bought the wireless go pro for recording a handpan drum in nature... so I want to collect the overall sound and the deep resonance of the instrument too. Do you think the lav mic, or the units on their own, will give the better ambient recording onto an iPhone?
Hey! Glad you like it :) I really don't have experience with handpan drum recordings but if you can position the unit directly with the wind protection close to the drum, I think you will have a good sound. You need to do some tests and see is the transmitter will be better. If you record outside, 100% you need the wind protection.
One of the better rode wireless pro videos out there. Video quality is absolutely pleasing to the eye. Audio is great. Information definitely needed and what I was looking for. Learned even more than what I expected. Thank you!! Definitely subscribing!! 👍🏼
Hey! Glad you like it! Take it step by step. You don't need to use all of them from the first day. Practice every day and you will use them perfectly super fast. Thank you 🙋🏻♂️
Hi Gabriel, I'm a new TH-camr, and your video tips on using the Rode Wireless Go Pro were incredibly helpful, especially regarding connecting the new Lav mic. When I start creating my videos, I'll definitely give your channel a shout-out. I also noticed in the beginning of your video that your receivers and transmitter were different colors. How can I achieve the same setup?
Hey bro! Thank you and I am happy to help :). At the beginning, that coloured light was made in the video editing software. The receiver and the transmitters doesn't have colours. Thank you and good luck with your content :)
Great video, great tips! How would you connect a professional grade microphone which has an XLR connector? XLR > 3.5mm or...? Keep it up my brother 😀 Greets from Croatia!
Hey bro! Thank you! Glad you like it :) For an XLR mic I don’t recommend this. You cand use some adaptors BUT! If you have a condenser mic that requires 48v Phantom power, you can’t use it. And I didn’t tested a dynamic mic. Maybe I will try to connect one to se but I don’t think is made for this. For a professional mic I recommend Zoom F3. Is perfect.
Mate this is the best video on these mics by far. I haven't watched the others and I don't need to. Question for you, what is the brand of earbuds you're using for monitors? Happy to use an affiliate link. Thank you!
@@codythep Sometimes I use Audio-Technica ATH-M50x but the ear pads are the original ones. That orange fabric on top is from a local store in Romania… is just a peace of fabric that covers the top. I will see if I find it on amazon or something, I will come back with a link.
Excellent video. I know this is going to sound dumb but... when looking at a recording on a transmitter in the app, and I see the Orange Clock, that means it has Time Code right? When I am following the instructions for Adobe Premier Pro, it says it can't find a time code track. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hey bro! Thank you for your comment. I will be honest with you. Timecode is the only thing I dont use on this system and I don’t know what to say. Sorry but I don’t want to guide you in a wrong direction 😁 Hope you will figure it out fast and easy 🤗
Hey! M means MONO. When you use a single transmitter, that means one microphone and it's mono. But, if you record a podcast as an example, and use booth transmitters, you can set it to stereo or SPLIT in this case. That means two channels. On the left channel, in camera, you will have one microphone and on the right channel, another one. Like this, you have them separately and you can edit them.
If I use just internal recording from both transmitters, it doesn't really matter if I have merged or split right? Cause I have already seperate audio track for each?
Hi Gabriel. Thanks for your very helpfull video. Especially how to connect the ring to the lavelier, I was struggling with, which made that I didn't record the audio correctly. I have a question: What do I do to set the correct gain to record on my iPhone 14 pro? I see only camera presets. Or what level should it be on?
Hey. Thank you! Glad you like it. I dodn’t test it that much on iPhone and because you don’t have gain I will keep everything on auto. I will check and try to help you but auto I think is the best.
@@EMWB So, I keep my receiver on manual, at 0db, and the transmitter on Auto or Dynamic. Booth are great. Do some tests before recording something official and see how it works. This is the best option, try and see if the sound is great and record a backup internally to be sure that you will have a good sound :)
Maybe you can help me =) I would like to record with an iPhone and tripod. Is the Rode Smart Grip also compatible with the Rode Wireless Pro? Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about it and you have the ultimate guide =)
Hey. Thank you for your comment. All you need is a phone holder with a cold show on top and a mounting thread at the bottom. Rode wireless pro receiver is compatible with any classic cold shoe. And the mounting thread is to connect the phone holder to your tripod. Cheers!
@@GabrielVIP Awesome, thank you for the quick support =) I searched for a long time and actually couldn't find a video for this basic. Also maybe as an idea for another video from you.
Let’s say I have an internal recording that has very loud levels and very quiet levels, can I normalize them and level them off in the rode desktop app?
You are awesome. Thank you so much! These tips help me feel confident I'm making the best choices to get good sound from my new mic system. Btw, it really helps that your audio in this video sounds excellent. If I can sound as good as you do in this video, I'm a happy camper!
Hey bro! Glad it helps :) You can definitely achieve the same result. But keep in mind that it's not just about the gear. Start and study tutorials about dialog processing. Search and learn audio compression, EQ, limiter, and many other processing parts. You can find the tone of tutorials on YT about dialogue processing :) Thank you 🙋🏻♂️🤗
Hello Gabriel, Great video and excellent information. I also use my transmiter as a wireless boom mic , however I use it with the interview handle directly on my boompole, therefore cutting out the extra mike and the cheese bar altogether.
I’m trying to get the best sound on a stage about 150 feet away (i generally do small theater jobs) from a Sony a7s DSLR. Can’t figure out if the quality of the sound would be better just throwing one of these little wireless transmitters on the stage floor or putting the videomic + shotgun on the dlsr…or 3rd option which is using both by connecting the shotgun to wireless pro near theater speakers. Thanks by the way.
Hey! I don't think is the right choice for what you want to do. 150 feet can be a little bit too far. And for a stage, I always prefer to record from the main mixer with a professional recorder like a zoom f3. It's hard to catch good sound from the speakers.
Hello Gabriel, I’m planning to use these mics with my iPhone. However, even with the gain settings maxed out, the audio is super quiet. Any idea what the problem might be?
Hey. I tested them on iPhone like this: The receiver on manual mode at 0 and the Transmitter was on Automatic Gain or Dynamic. Everything was fine. If you still have super low volume, try. to increase the gain on receiver, but I think you will be ok.
@@GabrielVIP I actually had the same settings and even talking right into the mic was quiet. I have to max the volume in CapCut to even hear myself. Were you testing with the native camera app?
Hey i have a Sony FDR AX 53 and i want do pranks. Does the transmitter fit on the Camera? Does Timecode work and how much Setting the gain? Its possible ti do auto sync the Video and Audio. I use Davinci Resolve. And its something important to now?
Hey! I never used that camera but looks to have an input jack. If it has that you can connect the rode wireless pro receiver to the camera and the sound will be recorded on your video. And if you want to sync it with the internal 32 bit file from the transmitters you can sync it in DaVinci super easy. Just the video with the internal audio, on another track the 32 bit file, select both, right click, Auto align clips and click ok based on waveform. that’s it. Thank you!
Dear Sir, Greetings. Thank you for your video. Please guide me ,regarding the use of Rode Wireless PRO, as wireless hands free mic for public address for mega church meetings etc. where preacher and interpreter stands together with their mobiles etc. 1) Rode Wireless PRO being GHz,will our mobiles,wi-fi etc.interfear with it's signals, so that the voice gets affected? 2) Can Rode Wireless PRO receiver be connected directly to the sound amplifier or is it possible only through a mixer ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW,IF IT IS FINE TO GO FOR IT FOR MY SPECIFIC USE ?
Hey! 1. It's impossible for me to say if you will get interferences in a room full of people. You need to test it. Most of the time, if the distance between the transmitter and receiver is not big, it should be ok, but I can't be sure. The best thing to do is to test it. 2. You can plug you 3.5mm jack directly in to the sound amplifier if your sound amplifier has a 3.5mm input. You need to check. It really depends on your sound amplifier.
For FX 3, yes! Keep the Camera level at 1 or 3 (many creators say that 3 will sound better). For FX6, I never used the Rode with a 3.5mm jack because I have a big XLR. I don't know exactly for FX6 but you can try.
Hello . Let me ask, is it possible to proactively turn off the charging box? Many times, I just want to put the mic in the box and don't want it to automatically charge. Thank you .
Hey! No! I don't see that option. But why? When the transmitters or receiver is full, the case will stop charging them. I don't think there is a problem with that :) Thank you!
We bought the Rode Wireless Pro based on your recommendation. Thanks for your video! We use it with an iPhone 13 Pro and wonder which settings are best. How much DB output level etc. Would you like to make a video about your current settings?
Hey. Glad to hear that and congratulation for you new equipment. You need to test things a little bit :) I will consider to make something for phones, but if you keep them in Automatic or dynamic, the sound should be great :)
@@GabrielVIP Thank you, we are really looking forward to your video about it. We are mainly wondering how much DB we should set for automatic. We hope your video comes soon =)
I shoot with a Canon C500 mark II which has XLR inputs. Why can I not find a single video to go over the use of either Rode's XLR adapter or, preferably, a dedicated third party cable with a mini RTS plug on one end (to go into the Rode receiver) and a male XLR to go into the camera? All I see is videos showing audio going into mini jack on a DSLR style cameras.
Hey! Maybe those who has XLR inputs on the camera use something more advanced with direct XLR. I don’t know but you can find an adaptor also from Rode to Jack. just search XLR to Jack Rode adaptor and you will find it :) Thank you!
Hmmm. I turned down my C100 gain (if that’s what you mean by preamp) to 1 or 2 and the level from the mics when increased even to -0db still meant the level was too low. I think your idea of reducing the “preamp” level (you mean gain) is misleading for the users of older cameras.
You need to set it as low as possible but not lower than having a good signal. I showed an example with my camera but clearly, every camera is different and you need to test and find the best setting. But still, the camera preamp would be as low as possible but stop decreasing it when the level is too low.
Hello, how can I connect the A7SIII with the two TX AND a headset microphone? The USB-C port does not accept a microphone signal. Thank you and best regards
Hey. I think you need a mixer or to record in a recorder. I didn’t check that but you need somehow a device that has more than one input like your camera. I will check and If I find something I will come back.
Hehe 🤣 Not being a native English speaker will always make me have bad pronunciation but I am 100% sure that you understand what I want to say🤣🤣 Glad you like the tips :)
Many of these tricks and tips also apply to Rode Wireless ME or Wireless Go II. If you like them, don't forget to subscribe :)
Does the ME also record locally on the TX or only on the camera itself?
Hey. Only in camera.
When connecting the mic to the transmitter it is best to rotate the transmitter NOT THE MIC. This will reduce the possibility of work-hardening the copper strands in the mic cable that will inevitably lead to an internal break in the wire and a subsequent microphone failure.

Glad you like it :) I really don't have experience with handpan drum recordings but if you can position the unit directly with the wind protection close to the drum, I think you will have a good sound. You need to do some tests and see is the transmitter will be better. If you record outside, 100% you need the wind protection.
Thank you for the detailed Review. Where I can get the MIC Holder for the NTG in Min. 9.35? Thank you and Greetings from Germany.....

One of the better rode wireless pro videos out there. Video quality is absolutely pleasing to the eye. Audio is great. Information definitely needed and what I was looking for. Learned even more than what I expected. Thank you!! Definitely subscribing!! 👍🏼
Heeey! Thank you. Glad it was helpful and I am happy to se those kind words. Thank you :)
Great tips! I just received my RW Pro last week. I love your boom mic setup.
Thank you. Congratulations for you new wireless system :D It's a great one. That boom mic is easy to build and cheap :D
Thanks for sharing these tips, Gabriel. Recently got this mic and there are too many options to learn.
Hey! Glad you like it! Take it step by step. You don't need to use all of them from the first day. Practice every day and you will use them perfectly super fast. Thank you 🙋🏻♂️
Hi Gabriel, I'm a new TH-camr, and your video tips on using the Rode Wireless Go Pro were incredibly helpful, especially regarding connecting the new Lav mic. When I start creating my videos, I'll definitely give your channel a shout-out. I also noticed in the beginning of your video that your receivers and transmitter were different colors. How can I achieve the same setup?
Hey bro! Thank you and I am happy to help :). At the beginning, that coloured light was made in the video editing software. The receiver and the transmitters doesn't have colours. Thank you and good luck with your content :)
Great video, great tips! How would you connect a professional grade microphone which has an XLR connector? XLR > 3.5mm or...? Keep it up my brother 😀 Greets from Croatia!
Hey bro! Thank you! Glad you like it :) For an XLR mic I don’t recommend this. You cand use some adaptors BUT! If you have a condenser mic that requires 48v Phantom power, you can’t use it. And I didn’t tested a dynamic mic. Maybe I will try to connect one to se but I don’t think is made for this. For a professional mic I recommend Zoom F3. Is perfect.
Mate this is the best video on these mics by far. I haven't watched the others and I don't need to.
Question for you, what is the brand of earbuds you're using for monitors? Happy to use an affiliate link.
Thank you!
Hey bro. Happy to help and glad you like it!
Do you talk about the foam pads that I have under my speakers?
@@GabrielVIP the headphones that you use for monitoring is what my question is!
@@codythep Sometimes I use Audio-Technica ATH-M50x but the ear pads are the original ones. That orange fabric on top is from a local store in Romania… is just a peace of fabric that covers the top. I will see if I find it on amazon or something, I will come back with a link.
Because of you!.......I just ordered a pro system ;) Keep up the good work Gabriel!
Hey :) Thank you! You will like it for sure :) Thank you for your comment and I am glad you like my video.
Hi friend. So can I record internal and camera audio at the same time? Tks
Hello! Yes, you can record in camera and have an internal backup :)
thanks for the video bro! I like your accent, is english your first language?
Hey bro! Thank you :) Glad you like my content. No! I am from Romania :)
Excellent, thanks so much, you gave me a tip that others didn't!
Glad I could help, my friend! Thank you!
Where did you get the colors around the transmitters from?
Hey! Those colors around the transmitters from the thumbnail are made in Photoshop.
This was such a great tutorial. I got a lot from this. Also, where did you get the colour pieces for this ?
Hey thank you! Glad you like it. Those colours that you see at the beginning are added in my editing software to catch attention. :D
@@GabrielVIP ok thanks
14:54 I have that same wish, have TX1 and TX2 in the file name that would be a huge help in keeping my files in order.
Yeah. I am still waiting for the next update :) Thank you!
Amazing guide man! first tip I always struggled with
Glad I could help! Thank you for your comment :)
Can you record independently straight from the wireless pro and not connect it in the camera?
Hey! Yes! You can record internally in your transmitter without connecting it to any other device :)
umm... May you please tell me where you got that jack clip from, the blue one??
Hello. Jack clip? I don't know what you are talking about. Can you give me the exact time in the video? where you saw that? Thank you!
would be great to see some sort of lock on record button so not knocked to off during recording, maybe hold rec button 3 secs to lock it
Yeah. But I hope that something like this will come in a future firmware update.
How do I stop the devices from turning on and recording as soon as I take them out of the case?
Hey! Connect the receiver to your PC and in the Rode Connect app you have that setting.
Excellent video. I know this is going to sound dumb but... when looking at a recording on a transmitter in the app, and I see the Orange Clock, that means it has Time Code right? When I am following the instructions for Adobe Premier Pro, it says it can't find a time code track. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hey bro! Thank you for your comment. I will be honest with you. Timecode is the only thing I dont use on this system and I don’t know what to say. Sorry but I don’t want to guide you in a wrong direction 😁 Hope you will figure it out fast and easy 🤗
@@GabrielVIP All good! I appreciate you being up front about this! Automatic subscribe!
What’s the difference between M and S, and when should it be used?
Hey! M means MONO. When you use a single transmitter, that means one microphone and it's mono.
But, if you record a podcast as an example, and use booth transmitters, you can set it to stereo or SPLIT in this case. That means two channels. On the left channel, in camera, you will have one microphone and on the right channel, another one. Like this, you have them separately and you can edit them.
@@GabrielVIP Thanks 🙏🏾
If I use just internal recording from both transmitters, it doesn't really matter if I have merged or split right? Cause I have already seperate audio track for each?
Hey. yes! That setting is for the receiver. You don't use the receiver in this case :)
Hi Gabriel. Thanks for your very helpfull video. Especially how to connect the ring to the lavelier, I was struggling with, which made that I didn't record the audio correctly. I have a question: What do I do to set the correct gain to record on my iPhone 14 pro? I see only camera presets. Or what level should it be on?
Hey. Thank you! Glad you like it. I dodn’t test it that much on iPhone and because you don’t have gain I will keep everything on auto. I will check and try to help you but auto I think is the best.
@@GabrielVIP so that would be 'Rode -12'
I am not in the studio roght now! Let me check and I will come back :) I want to give you the right answer 😁
@@GabrielVIP no rush. I do have to do an interview Tuesday. Any time before that is great. And if not... I'll manage 🙂
@@EMWB So, I keep my receiver on manual, at 0db, and the transmitter on Auto or Dynamic. Booth are great. Do some tests before recording something official and see how it works. This is the best option, try and see if the sound is great and record a backup internally to be sure that you will have a good sound :)
Maybe you can help me =) I would like to record with an iPhone and tripod. Is the Rode Smart Grip also compatible with the Rode Wireless Pro? Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about it and you have the ultimate guide =)
Hey. Thank you for your comment. All you need is a phone holder with a cold show on top and a mounting thread at the bottom. Rode wireless pro receiver is compatible with any classic cold shoe. And the mounting thread is to connect the phone holder to your tripod. Cheers!
@@GabrielVIP Awesome, thank you for the quick support =) I searched for a long time and actually couldn't find a video for this basic. Also maybe as an idea for another video from you.
Very nice video! Helped a lot! 👍🏽
Glad you like it and happy to help :)
@@GabrielVIP for me its the best video about the new wireless pro! straight on the most important points, thanks mate!
#1 on my wish list would be able to jam sync the Rode wireless pro rather than it always being the master timecode. I don't think this will happen.
Hey! I don't use timecode but I don't know if that will happen.
Genuinely excellent tips on using the Rode Wireless Pro!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Let’s say I have an internal recording that has very loud levels and very quiet levels, can I normalize them and level them off in the rode desktop app?
Hey, You can export your audio and normalize them wen you export. You have there an option to choose the level you want :)
@@GabrielVIP 🤩 perfect thank you!
You are awesome. Thank you so much! These tips help me feel confident I'm making the best choices to get good sound from my new mic system.
Btw, it really helps that your audio in this video sounds excellent. If I can sound as good as you do in this video, I'm a happy camper!
Hey bro!
Glad it helps :)
You can definitely achieve the same result. But keep in mind that it's not just about the gear.
Start and study tutorials about dialog processing. Search and learn audio compression, EQ, limiter, and many other processing parts.
You can find the tone of tutorials on YT about dialogue processing :)
Thank you 🙋🏻♂️🤗
Great tips! I just got my rode pro, so this is very useful ❤😊
Thank you! I will come back with part 2 pretty soon. Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you for your great explanation 👍😊
You are welcome! Glad you like it :)
Hello Gabriel, Great video and excellent information. I also use my transmiter as a wireless boom mic , however I use it with the interview handle directly on my boompole, therefore cutting out the extra mike and the cheese bar altogether.
Hey. Thank you! Glad you like it. That's a good option. I didn’t tested that out but I guess is a good option. :) Thank you!
Gabriel, excellent video! Nicely done, great tips.
Glad you like it! Thank you!
I’m trying to get the best sound on a stage about 150 feet away (i generally do small theater jobs) from a Sony a7s DSLR. Can’t figure out if the quality of the sound would be better just throwing one of these little wireless transmitters on the stage floor or putting the videomic + shotgun on the dlsr…or 3rd option which is using both by connecting the shotgun to wireless pro near theater speakers. Thanks by the way.
Hey! I don't think is the right choice for what you want to do. 150 feet can be a little bit too far. And for a stage, I always prefer to record from the main mixer with a professional recorder like a zoom f3. It's hard to catch good sound from the speakers.
Very useful video. Thank you! :)
Glad you like it! Thank you :)
What about the colour rims on the units in your thumbnail, where did you get those?
Hey. Those are made in photoshop 😁 That light doesn’t exist 😁
@@GabrielVIP Ah, I see
this was by far the best explainer video thank you so much
Hey! Glad you like it. I am happy to help 🤗🙋🏻♂️
@@GabrielVIP can I ask also what the small yellow clock means next to your recorded audio? Some of my recordings have it and some of them dont
I am not 100% sure. I will check. It is possible to be something about timecode.
@@GabrielVIP ok thank you!
Very well done! Thank You
Thank you too! Glad you like it 😁
Hello Gabriel, I’m planning to use these mics with my iPhone. However, even with the gain settings maxed out, the audio is super quiet. Any idea what the problem might be?
Hey. I tested them on iPhone like this: The receiver on manual mode at 0 and the Transmitter was on Automatic Gain or Dynamic. Everything was fine. If you still have super low volume, try. to increase the gain on receiver, but I think you will be ok.
@@GabrielVIP I actually had the same settings and even talking right into the mic was quiet. I have to max the volume in CapCut to even hear myself. Were you testing with the native camera app?
Yes! The native app. Something is strange. I can’t really think of what can drive to this problem. If I will find something I will come back to you!
Hey i have a Sony FDR AX 53 and i want do pranks. Does the transmitter fit on the Camera? Does Timecode work and how much Setting the gain? Its possible ti do auto sync the Video and Audio. I use Davinci Resolve. And its something important to now?
Hey! I never used that camera but looks to have an input jack. If it has that you can connect the rode wireless pro receiver to the camera and the sound will be recorded on your video. And if you want to sync it with the internal 32 bit file from the transmitters you can sync it in DaVinci super easy. Just the video with the internal audio, on another track the 32 bit file, select both, right click, Auto align clips and click ok based on waveform. that’s it. Thank you!
Very excellent tutorial. Keep it up !
Thank you my friend 🙋🏻♂️🤗
Dear Sir, Greetings.
Thank you for your video. Please guide me ,regarding the use of Rode Wireless PRO, as wireless hands free mic for public address for mega church meetings etc. where preacher and interpreter stands together with their mobiles etc.
1) Rode Wireless PRO being GHz,will our mobiles,wi-fi etc.interfear with it's signals, so that the voice gets affected?
2) Can Rode Wireless PRO receiver be connected directly to the sound amplifier or is it possible only through a mixer ?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW,IF IT IS FINE TO GO FOR IT FOR MY SPECIFIC USE ?
Hey!
1. It's impossible for me to say if you will get interferences in a room full of people. You need to test it. Most of the time, if the distance between the transmitter and receiver is not big, it should be ok, but I can't be sure. The best thing to do is to test it.
2. You can plug you 3.5mm jack directly in to the sound amplifier if your sound amplifier has a 3.5mm input. You need to check. It really depends on your sound amplifier.
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.
You are most welcome!
What about Nikon Z8? There's no camera preset for this camera
Hey. I didn't used this camera but you can use Gain Asist. This. feature is awesome and for me is perfect all the time.
Great video - helped a ton!!
Glad to hear that :) Thank you!
Thank you so much for your helpful tips.
Happy to help :) Thank you for your feedback :)
Thank you for your presentation. you explained everything so clear.
Hello. Glad you like it! Happy to help. 😁🤗
Thank you very much man. I really appreciate it!
Glad I could help! Thank you for your feedback :)
A7Siii and FX3 Should be the same, no?
For FX 3, yes! Keep the Camera level at 1 or 3 (many creators say that 3 will sound better). For FX6, I never used the Rode with a 3.5mm jack because I have a big XLR. I don't know exactly for FX6 but you can try.
Thank you best guide.
Glad you like it 🙋🏻♂️
Great video thanks so much!
Glad you like it. Thank you :)
Content gold kind Sir
Thank you 🙋🏻♂️🤗
Hello .
Let me ask, is it possible to proactively turn off the charging box?
Many times, I just want to put the mic in the box and don't want it to automatically charge. Thank you .
Hey! No! I don't see that option. But why? When the transmitters or receiver is full, the case will stop charging them. I don't think there is a problem with that :) Thank you!
@@GabrielVIP So my device really has a problem. When fully charged, my RX still lit up and said it was charging, leading to overheating.
Try to upgrade the firmware. It can be a software problem. Or send a message to Rode.
@@GabrielVIP thank you so much . 🥰🥰
Great video! REALLY helped me set my set up!
Hey. Glad to hear that and happy to help. Thank you for your feedback :)

We bought the Rode Wireless Pro based on your recommendation. Thanks for your video! We use it with an iPhone 13 Pro and wonder which settings are best. How much DB output level etc. Would you like to make a video about your current settings?
Hey. Glad to hear that and congratulation for you new equipment. You need to test things a little bit :) I will consider to make something for phones, but if you keep them in Automatic or dynamic, the sound should be great :)
@@GabrielVIP Thank you, we are really looking forward to your video about it. We are mainly wondering how much DB we should set for automatic. We hope your video comes soon =)
Same here. Also, perhaps show what setting to choose in the Blackmagic Cam app regarding sound.
Well done - great intuitive video!!! - keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! Will do!
I shoot with a Canon C500 mark II which has XLR inputs. Why can I not find a single video to go over the use of either Rode's XLR adapter or, preferably, a dedicated third party cable with a mini RTS plug on one end (to go into the Rode receiver) and a male XLR to go into the camera? All I see is videos showing audio going into mini jack on a DSLR style cameras.
Hey! Maybe those who has XLR inputs on the camera use something more advanced with direct XLR. I don’t know but you can find an adaptor also from Rode to Jack. just search XLR to Jack Rode adaptor and you will find it :) Thank you!
Wonderful video. Thank you! Very helpful.
Glad you like it and happy to help :)
The k you for this video I just bought this kit
Glad you like it and good luck with you videos. This is a solid system and you can do great work with it.
@@GabrielVIP I use it with my iPhone so it’s even easier for me
Well done, great video.
Glad you like it. Thank you!
Hmmm. I turned down my C100 gain (if that’s what you mean by preamp) to 1 or 2 and the level from the mics when increased even to -0db still meant the level was too low. I think your idea of reducing the “preamp” level (you mean gain) is misleading for the users of older cameras.
You need to set it as low as possible but not lower than having a good signal. I showed an example with my camera but clearly, every camera is different and you need to test and find the best setting. But still, the camera preamp would be as low as possible but stop decreasing it when the level is too low.
Hello, how can I connect the A7SIII with the two TX AND a headset microphone? The USB-C port does not accept a microphone signal.
Thank you and best regards
Hey. I think you need a mixer or to record in a recorder. I didn’t check that but you need somehow a device that has more than one input like your camera. I will check and If I find something I will come back.
@@GabrielVIP Maybe it would work with a USB-C (Rode) to TRS (A7SIII) adapter?
@SYHTvideo I don’t think that. On camera you need 3.5mm jack and I don’t think you can convert it from usb C.
Backup trucks made me laugh 😆 thanks for the tips though
Hehe 🤣 Not being a native English speaker will always make me have bad pronunciation but I am 100% sure that you understand what I want to say🤣🤣
