Okay, we're here with Ryan from RODE Mics. They just released the RODE Mic Go. It's a really cool portable mic. It's $200.
What's going on with this mic? It seems like has a lot of great features with any filmmaker. Absolutely,
so the Wireless Go is gonna be a $200 solution for the indie filmmaker. Anywhere from down to immature up to
professionals will use this microphone. The goal is to keep it very small format. It has a clip right on board on
both units. You're actually trying to just clip it directly to a button-up shirt or something like that really quick
Simply without all the intrusive nature of you know, run this wire down your shirt, tack this to your skin, any of that stuff
It's actually just clipping right on to the t-shirt or button up. Button ups are super easy for that. Clip it right on here
So you clip it, right?
On your persons and then the other one goes actually right into a shoe mount on top of your DSLR or right next to your digital
External recorder. On board you have a omnidirectional lavalier microphone
so whether you place this upside down sideways or inside out the whole thing is going to be
Perfect frequency response across the board and then I always teach to just close proximity
So for a film especially an omnidirectional microphone is crucial in that wherever I go or however, I turn my head
It doesn't affect the frequency response of the microphone so I can place this upside down
Sideways or whatever and I get the same response on that mic
and then if you're actually using that lavalier microphone
Ease of use, strap it on and go as the name would suggest. If you plug in an external lavalier 3.5 TRS
Microphone that will replace the omnidirectional lavalier there using the external so you can actually then run the cable and then it becomes the smallest
format package
We literally I mean I saw there's this photo of it with the next to a quarter and it's just a little bit
Tiny bit bigger a little bit bigger reporter, but not much
I mean
I can't wait to use these on interviews where you don't want to like to stick a wire down
Somebody's shirt or something gets awkward. Boom. Pop it on there seems like a really cool option for option. Here at NAB
This is the purpose for I wish I had this mic right now because we're using not a very good mic
So sorry about that audio, but next time we'll have one of these. It's not a RODE.
You're not being recorded by a RODE right now. So audio is not good. It's not their fault!
So you got sync. That's how you sync the two. You don't actually see it there
What you do is it indicates that you have synced. See how it's flashing? Yeah. That's telling me that it's not synced up
That's because the other one is not on currently, as I power that up. It's gonna go
"Oh, hey
there you are" now the microphone is actually running while I'm talking into it and there's your representation of it on the receiver
if I were to sync it this time, so let's look at the receiver this time more than
Necessary the receiver or the brain of the operation, right?
So the sync button is going to press and hold
Will actually start flashing on this if I press and hold it's going to lose the connection to the other transmitter and start flashing
As it's searching if I just press the power button on the transmitter
There it is again. That's simple you got two USB inputs as well
So both units can actually be powered in real time. USB C right? Yeah
So while I'm using this mic, I can have two USB charging dock and just power this right in real time
That's cool but it does have a seven hour interval right? You got it
So charge it for two hours you get seven hours of play
So for something like this or for most filming you're gonna have plenty of time. Sweet!
So are they available now when if you look up they're available early May the price is $199. $199? Sign me up for two
