Another home run guys. I realized I enjoy your videos so much because you are both very relatable. I feel that makes an enormous difference when communicating your stories/reviews.
@@Gemini_Connect Well, you are crushing it. There are a lot of creators that set themselves on a pedestal, and it's such a turn off no matter how good their content is. The two of you have a superb blend of storytelling and reviews, and you present them in a “we’re regular folks like you” style that is so natural. It's not difficult to see why you are enjoying the success you have rightfully earned.
@@TheArizonaHooligan yes because viewers like yourself put those TH-cam channel type idiots on a pedestal in the first place.. SO dont complain that those you tubers act that way. Perfect example here on this channel you are complementing them on what is not a very honest video saying "Yaaah your so awesome rainbows and everyone is beautiful" encouraging more fake or not true videos. This video was not a honest video and is a bit misleading in what they were trying to say about the product and the reasons why. It was more of a plug for a commercial product so they could make money for endorsing the product or because they got it for free. NOT because its a better product or better system to use then a GoPro set up or another setup.
At 9:09 I could hear the mic unplugging but the audio didn't change. Was the Rode not actually the source or is the sound that darn similar? Plus the whole time there was a background roar (that might have been a plane) that shouldn't have been present with the Rode given its directionality and windmuff.
Great video, thanks for the detailed review, and it's awesome that Rode reached out to you guys, a sign of things to come. However, I was a bit disturbed by the lack of stash on Martin! can we get the stash back please, or even better a full beard! ;-) Keep up the great work guys.
@@Gemini_Connect thank you. Even if I'm only mildly interested, like I was from the title of the video, I watch anyway because I know with you guys I'll learn something handy
I love the idea that it’s simple. I travel with my GoPro9 and DJI mini 2 and I was looking for camcorder because of the optical zoom feature. The less I can carried the better. Good job guys. Great video as always.
Attach the TRS-TRRS cable in-between the slots on the tightening nut on the RODE mic to keep the cable from bouncing around all over the place and reduce microphone movement.
They made more of a difference before camera phones had multiple lenses built in. But there are several Moment lens that are special and even built in phone lenses cannot yet achieve (ie. Fisheye, macro, and anamorphic lenses). I did an old video review on Moment Lenses, but should really do an update - th-cam.com/video/RTKlMeTq_VM/w-d-xo.html
@@Gemini_Connect I'm pretty new with video so I'm not really sure what I need. But Right now I have a Gopro Hero 5 black and a Note 20 ultra, Also I have a zoom H4N Pro I'm trying to learn to connect to Gopro and the zoom together
@@MX-CO Best advice is to use the gear you have and buy accessories if you run into enough scenarios when you need it. Synching the Zoom audio with GoPro is done in post production in editing software. It's kind of a hassle. Personally, I'd avoid recording the audio separately unless you have a really good reason to do it.
Hi y’all I have just a quick question? I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and just curious to know if y’all have a discount code as well for the iPhone model ??
When you are using the Rode Micro Video Mic, can you not just flip it around if you're in front of the camera and vlogging, and then flip back again when you are in the back of the camera? It certainly appears to that you have enough room. 🎙
Yes,i notice this too. Knowing gopro release a new version every year i plan to buy a new one in four years . But if they still haven't fix low light issue, zooming, battery life then at that point I'm just going to put that money on a really good phone and accessories. Thanks to this channel i can watch the reviews and save so much money. Thank you
Hi my phone doesnt have sadly eis in 4k video option so when i take a video with 4k it shakes horribly. What i wonder is that what should i have, a gimbal or a tripot to have a stable video?
I stick to neutral white lights most of the time, but Ulanzi has a pocket RGB light that looks nice - geni.us/PJl3. We have the non RGB version and love using it with GoPro.
That looks great but I can't recod on the front camera half of the time I cut my head haha that's why inlrefer to take the go pro with me and use my phone just for reels lol
Thanks for the great review! I plan on starting my TH-cam channel with just my iPhone 11. I’ve already got a rode mic and a joby tripod. Wish this would have been out earlier haha
Josh then you already have the same thing as this Rode set up. As long as you have the solid phone clamp holder that ulanzi makes with the jobi you are set.
I like my Samsung Note 20 better than my Hero 9 but the hero 9 has better stabilization and costs less to replace. I agree with the low light thing but I really don't record at night. I think my Note 20 is easier and more like a point and shoot. The hero 9 doesn't really have an auto setting.
That's a fair point. The kit is not the cheapest, but the build quality justifies the price IMO. To be fair, the Rode VideoMicro is probably the most valuable part of the kit and it is $60.
@@Gemini_Connect yes that microphone is the most expensive of that kit. I can buy Ulanzi accessories with other mic for total of $70 which is saving me $80
@@KaioshinAemi Exactly!! That phone clamp thing is the same exact one as ulanzi "Probably made by ulanzi" and the tripod is made by a dozens of companies already nothing special there. Only difference here is the silk screened log of "RODE" on it. The whole thing about making it sound small or easier to use then a GoPro setup is just plain wrong and a bit weird that they tried to sell it for that reason. Made no sense as the GoPro setup is so much smaller and compact and just as easy. If they were just saying they use the phone by itself because its in their pocket without the tripod and phone clamp and mic yah but not what they showed in the video.

Same! We always strive for simple yet effective filming tools, and this definitely fits the bill 👌
the less you can carry? this thing is 3x the size of a GoPro 9 set up.... ???? so why?

Good tip! Thanks 😊
Do the Moment lenses make a big difference?
Can you make a video about that?

@@Gemini_Connect thanks for the reply. I have a note 20 ultra which is the newest Samsung Note model so I wasn't sure if it helps much or not?
@@MX-CO depends on what kind of lenses you want. I end up using the Moment fisheye and anamorphic lenses a lot because I like their looks.

GoPro zooming has gotten slightly better recently with the Digital Lenses. But there are certainly more improvements that would be helpful to see.

If you film a pot while walking or moving, then get a gimbal. But if you do Static shots, a tripod will do.
@@Gemini_Connect Thank ufor the answer. Is it also possible to insert a mini led light on the gimbal so that i can have a bright video night time?
Thr Note 20 ultra is pretty awesome!
Have you used a pocket RGB light? Which do you recommend?

Haha I have a similar problem. That's also why I shoot a lot with both GoPro and phone.
damn, that little mic didn't make much of a difference. I''m torn, because I've seen it work well in other test videos. Interesting..
Which one did you get, usb-c or 3.5 mm one?
Good one
Thank you Ajay 😊

True. The Hero 9 can be put on Auto, but it requires tweaking a few settings all to auto mode, rather than one comprehensive auto setting.
