The dual-purpose clip-mount of the receiver means it can easily be clipped onto jackets and other clothing, as well as slipping in securely into your camera's cold shoe. The Receiver can be plugged into your camera or a recorder directly, via the 3.5mm TRS output.

      $250 for a microphone! No thank you

      • +2

        $250 for a microphone is really not that much. It entirely depends on the quality, and purpose.

        • -4

          Surely this is not the most expensive mic from Rode but even if it is made out of Gold, including all R&D costs $250 for a microphone is a no thank you. I don't see it as a bargain at all.

          • +4

            @[Deactivated]: So you think expensive $256/4 light bulbs is worth posting as a deal, but you don't think this wireless microphone is a deal?

            Maybe you just don't understand how people use this mic and how much competing products cost. If you're not the target market for it, I can see why you would have no idea about its value.

              @eug: No and no. If you had read that post you wouldn't ask a silly question!

              Also no. That's what I exactly said. You just repeated me.

              Dude I don't comment about you, you don't comment about me. That simple.

              Just because other companies and corporates ask for $250 mic doesn't make it so.

                Dude I don't comment about you, you don't comment about me.

                This is a public forum, and you're writing public posts. If you don't want people to comment on your posts, don't post.

                Saying "no thank you" shows that you do not understand the value of the product to the people who actually use them.

                Just because other companies and corporates ask for $250 mic doesn't make it so.

                You can apply that to anything. How much do you think it actually costs to manufacture your phone/laptop/TV/PC/car? How much did you pay for them?

                  @eug: So? Why every seller, rep or poster thinks whoever disagrees with their bargain value should be overwhelmingly marginalised and get personal? You guys post something and people comment on the product, the quality of the service and judge its value.

                  Nothing makes it about the individual just because public forums! It's been thousands of years since humans started living in the cities and public communities. It never forfeited that individuality's border and limit.

        It’s more than just a microphone. This post is obviously not for you.

        • -2

          That's what I said. Thanks for repeating me

  • Looks good but a tad expensive for what I need… Does anybody have any recommendations for a good quality but cheap alternative (doesn't need to have more than 2 meters range)

    • +2

      Wired shotgun mic, go with the Takstar ($40). Lavaliers get expensive but the Rode wireless ($400 or so), is quite nice.

      • Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have a suggestion for anything smaller - I'm recording on mobile with a DJI Osmo 2 mobile (understand I'm likely to have to rig it up with Velcro etc)

        • Rode’s Video Micro is probably the smallest you can get with decent audio, I think you can get it for around $60 on eBay.

    • Do you need a mic or a transmitter? If a mic, what kind?

  • It's a good system, extremely compact and good value. I use it on my Nikon Z6 and Ninja V. But the Rode mic is nowhere near as good as the equivalent Sony (ECM-77BMP).

    • But the Rode mic is nowhere near as good as the equivalent Sony (ECM-77BMP).

      This Rode mic is a microphone, wireless transmitter, wireless receiver, and rechargeable batteries for both for $240.
      The ECM-77MBP is only a wired microphone with no wireless portion that costs $370.

      How is the Sony equivalent to the Rode?

      • The inbuilt Rode mic that is in the Rode Go transmitter is good but limited in many features that the Sony UWP sytem allows. It's apples and oranges and priced accordingly. The ECM-77 is used in broadcast television and drama all over the world. The tiny Sony lavalier head can be hidden in clothing and hair. The transmitter has powerful menu options. A similar Sony based system like the UWP-D11 package is four times as much as the Rode. But for run-and-gun DSLR use, I prefer the Rode with the Rode lavalier mic option. (+$79 @ DJ City) As I mentioned in my previous post, it needs some audio post to brighten it up.

          Yeah exactly, hence my question - how is the Sony equivalent to the Rode as you said?

          They're made for different uses and have very different price points. Of course the Rode would be nowhere as good (not just sound quality but mounting flexibility as well) as a mic that costs more than 50% - for just the mic capsule itself. :)

          • @eug: I was referring to the optional Rode Lavalier Smartlav mic as "equivalent" in design and function to the Sony, not the inbuilt Rode mic. I probably wasn't very clear in my post.

            I have the Rode SmartLav lavalier which I use with the Go transmitter. I'm not a big fan of pinning the whole Rode transmitter (with the built-in mic) to a subject's jacket in an interview. If I'm shooting a commercial or high-end corporate, I'll use the Sony every time.

            • @DSOTM:

              I was referring to the optional Rode Lavalier Smartlav mic as "equivalent" in design and function to the Sony, not the inbuilt Rode mic.

              Oh right, yeah that makes total sense now. :)

              I'm not a big fan of pinning the whole Rode transmitter (with the built-in mic) to a subject's jacket in an interview.

              Yeah, the form factor is kinda bulky for that sort of use. It'd be fine for casual YouTube videos, but I too wouldn't be clipping that on anything more formal.

              I had the Rode Filmmaker wireless kit which I sold recently as I didn't use it much thanks to the extremely bulky beltpack. I went back to the rock-solid Sennheiser ew100 packs, but for casual videos the Rode looks so much more convenient as it's clip-and-go. 2.4GHz reliability is another issue though!

  • Adding to my comment, the Rode mic is a little muffley in the high end, but with some extra EQ in post, it's more than acceptable.

  • Would using a Bluetooth transmitter receiver work?
    Plug the mic into the bluetooth transmitter, connect to bluetooth speakers?

    • Yes that would work, just look out for feedback with lav mics and speakers.

      • (these aren't Bluetooth BTW)

    How easy would this be to plug into android phones? i.e. receiver->adapter->usb C->pixel 2xl

  • The listed price of this item is $299.95. What's the cheapest thing I could buy with it to be eligible for TRS?

  • Bought mine from StoreDJ ebay two weeks ago for $237?

  • $237.15 at digidirect. I bought in store, online doesn’t show the discount
