These are excellent lapel mics for use with a wireless system. I’ve bought two for my Comica wireless set, but they work also with other brands. The sound quality is outstanding – a full range with good base and no hiss. Not really possible to tell the difference between these and Sennheiser lapel mics. You can’t however say the same for Rode shotgun mics – the Sennheiser options are noticeably more sensitive.
The connectors are TRS, so they won’t work with a smartphone without a TRS-TRSS adapter (TRSS jacks have an extra ring). So don’t buy the later Rode mic if you need a TRS connection for your mixer or camera!
I have used different lav mics inside my helmet for capturing the voice while recording. All other mic needed massive post production to remove noise. This is the first mic I’m absolutely happy with and is perfect for what I need it!
Would definitely recommend for beginners and filmmakers on a budget. Pairs nicely with the RodeGo II’s
This is a fairly cheap Lavalier but it works brilliantly with teh Wireless Go II transmitters.
being white it helps when miking up brides or those wearing anything other than black.
– Difficult to get the clip on the mic by the way it is designed and I have two of these – one fits perfectly the other not so and the lav mic is slightly loose on the clip which is actually annoying. Functions perfectly well, is fine once worn in place but still annoying, for the price.
Initially it did not worked when connected directly with lightening Jack 3.5 mm. did a lot of research, called Amazon helpline but not useful, they suggested a return. I ordered TRS to TRRS cable—and Bingooo ,, it worked.
For use with I phone 8 and above you need TRS to TRRS cable. I have i phone 13 pro max and you need this Trs to TRRS and lightening jack as well.
sound very good.
Very good quality mic, alot of people have said they enjoy the sound of the mic, even people who pop in when I am streaming vr games, and can sound even better once a bit of eq is added, if you want a sample of what it can sound like, rdatomica is the channel ttv (dunno if this is allowed) but all in all, the mic is great, easy to set up, it’s litterally just and aux, straight into my pc, that’s it, would highly recommend anything by rode, they are a company that knows what they are doing!
Had a generic one before plugged into wireless go and go 2. Needed a second one and decided to try the Rode one as the generic one was picking up everything and was distorting. With this, audio is crisp and no distortion on louder sounds. It is expensive but worth i
Very happy with the sound quality this offers. Also being a TRS adapter rather than the TRRS, it doesn’t need the converter to plug into a GoPro media mod. Truly amazing the difference in sound levels when you go from a built in mic to this Rode lavallier go.
Very good sound quality when we used this with the Rode wireless go on a goproand the DJI osmo pocket the sound quality was second to none works so well
Fantastic sound quality. I use mine with the Rode Wireless Go and cannot recommend it enough. Very discrete, easy to use and produces a professional sound. Does exactly what I need it to with very little effort. Great purchase and a great product.
A nice small Lavalier TRS microphone that plugs directly into a RODE Wireless Go transmitter, without requiring an adapter. Reinforced cable provides better longevity compared with cheaper alternatives.
Very worthwhile adding a pack of three RODE miniature wind socks to your order, which work nicely with this microphone.
This is a must have for capturing great audio either outdoors or for when you are too far from a fixed microphone. Pair this u as I have done, with the Rode Wireless Go, and you have a perfect audio capture solution. Lots of cord, easy to mount and just works. Audio quality is great and the little deadbeat makes for good use when working outdoors.
Not a bad little microphone for the price, but be warned: it’s not waterproof. I was trying to vlog in the rain (I record video and audio separately and match them up on the computer), and came home with a bunch of silent files.
I have bought this product to do Moto Vlogging on a motorbike. I am using gopro hero 5 to do the vlog.
I found this product absolutely dream. Never misses a beat and sound quality is crystal clear. I would like to give this product 5 star.
We used these to replace the ones that came with our wireless mic kit. The difference in quality was immense, not got the depth of a studio mic but very acceptable.
The Rode Lavalier mic kit requires you to purchase the connector of choice as an additional purchase – regardless of which connection you want. It isn’t usable out of the box until you do. This is fine if you DON’T want to use XLR or a TRS connection and need a special connection (hence the range of 4 additional connection options). But if you do want TRS or XLR, then you’re left wondering what is the benefit of the Rode Lav mic kit that costs almost twice as much. Yes you get a pretty plastic shell instead of a PVC bag, and a few generally pointless extras. The XLR plug (Micon-5) doesn’t fit in the kit case unless you remove/modify the shelf – a stupid design choice in my opinion.
So you’re probably wondering, is there any real difference between them. Looking at the lavalier mic end, there’s barely any physical difference. They both have the same metal microphone tip and the foam windscreen is identical. The clip-on is basically the same design, the wires are both reinforced with kevlar. I’d wager that the Micon connector of the more expensive mic is more likely prone to damage than the lockable TRS connector here.
Recording wise, having both connected to my Zoom H6 simultaneously (one L, one R), there is a very slight difference in sensitivity – this one being very slightly less sensitive. Posted specifications state this microphone has a signal to noise Ratio of 67 dB, vs 69 db for the Rode Lavalier Mic kit. This microphone has a frequency range of 20Hz — 20kHz, vs 60Hz – 18kHz on the Rode Lavalier Mic kit. Honestly for recording human voices, there’s little in it, especially when using a good sound recorder. Incidentally the specifications for Rode’s GO lav mic’s are identical to this one (but simply missing the locking screw on the TRS connector).
Microphones registered through Rode’s website get an extended warranty- 2 years for this mic vs 5 years for the more expensive lav mic kit.
Numerous users of the Rode Lavalier Mic kit report permanently damaging the microphone cord by trapping it in the case. That won’t happen with the bag supplied here. This microphone was meant to provide a replacement for the one supplied with the Rode Videomaker kit, but you certainly don’t need the kit. You simply need any sound recording device that can supply power (between 12V and 48V phantom power through a VXLR+, or plug-in power, all will work).
Unless you’re using a connection other than TRS or XLR, then this is IMHO a much better choice – and you can often pick up two of these for the price of one lav kit. If you don’t need a specialised connection, you might as well save yourself the money.
A last note of caution: the locking screw can come off, so be careful not to lose it.
Bought this to use with the wireless go and it works a treat. Great sound quality and high quality product. A bit on the pricey side but I use it a lot and have not been disappointed
