Hi Ileane, have you used it together with an iPhone? do you know if that combination works without an adapter? Have you used it for filming with a smartphone?
I've just received a SmartLav+ as my first lav mic, and I thought I was going to break something trying to mount it onto the clip. I couldn't have guessed that the windshield came off like this, fortunately you were here to help. I've used a NT-USB for 7 years and been overly satisfied with it, with many compliments on my audio quality. The SmartLav+ is very promising too. I'm for sure thinking Rode first if I need another microphone.
Another tip, you can team a smartLav+, and two mobile phones for really high production quality value phone videos. One phone on a gimbal or tripod to record video and an ambient audio reference track, while the talent's voice is recorded via smartLav+ onto a phone in their pocket using either the camera app or even a dedicated sound recording app for higher quality audio files. I've also used this to make a discreet audio recording device while I've shot the corresponding video hand holding my drone. I think personally it makes the smartLav+ a better choice no matter what you're recording video on.
Beautiful video and great info, BUT what would be most beneficial is showing us how you got your Rode lav audio to sound that good in POST. That’s the info we need, want, and would highly appreciate!
After almost whole day troubleshooting it with the assistance fr the seller remotely, I finally felt relieved when I watched this video. Thank gudness! Because the seller didn't think that it needs 3rd party app when u oredi on Android 9 and above. But I guess it also factors in the criteria whether the smartphone supports external mic or if the camera features has external mic as an option. Thanks, Miss! 🤗 😌
I love the R0de Go but the output levels are too high for my camcorder and when I use it with the Lavalier Go mic the output sounds very nasal, no matter where the placement is :-( The inbuilt R0de Go mic is way better than the lav, which is disappointing since the R0de Lav was *not* cheap!
@@xjet You might be surprised what you can accomplish with free software. Audacity is free and you can amplify the audio by a negative number to reduce the gain.
You can easily fix nasal vocals by using an Eq. Nasal frequency can range from around 1KHz to 2.5KHz (especially 2KHz to 2.5KHz). Now you can mess around with any EQ and reduce those frequencies. Listen closely as you reduce those and try not to overdo it as those frequencies generally contain most vowels. Reducing any kind of frequencies may result in an increase of others, so please be a little careful. Hope that helps!
@@ApplePi31415 I know... but the R0de lav mic is not cheap, I expected the performance to be aligned to the price-point but there are much cheaper lavs that work much better I'm afraid. The bare R0de Go mic sounds much, much better than the lav running through the Go system. Based on my own experiences I would not recommend the R0de lav mic I'm afraid. I have other R0de mics that work great -- just not this one.
I love the sound from rode lavalier mics but the cables suck. I've had two smartlav+ that have static when the cable is touched, because the wires inside are damaged. And my more expensive lav with the micon connectors suffered the same issue. At least that cable can be replaced, if you're willing to spend $50 for a wire.
I love the Lav Go! I tend to speak very loud as if in a classroom so there is no problem with keeping the mic attached at the pocket line on my jacket.
his voice is so *sweet*, any microphone would look great. That sound, was it processed? How do you do it? Do you have any video like this on the channel? Because of your video, I bought Rode Lavalier and wanted that quality. It did not arrive yet. I'm looking forward to it here. All the best to you.
Great video! I was looking for a video showing how to attach a lav mic to a shirt, but the whole content was great. I use a set of Rode Wireless Go and Rode VideoMic Pro Plus both into the camera through a stereo splitter so I have two tracks to combine in post. Sometimes one track from the lav mic sounds a bit dry.
How did the audio quality turn out to be in the recording of the flute concert??? I am wondering if it is suitable for recording classical concerts, too!
Great Video, Love the quality of the video and sound, also how the Presenter is doing the How-To Guide. Thank you very much, I will definitely subscribe to this channel for more tips!
Heen sister! You are coolness as presenter! One suggestion: maybe make mention if this video itself is using the Lav mic for the audio. Cheers from the States! 🇺🇸💛🇦🇺
Supurb, this is exactly what I was looking for a quite long time. Question : as she mentioned: Grey for mobile phone & black for camera. What happens if black is used for mobile ( cell phone )? Will it still work?
I bought the lavalier GO under the impression it would work with a phone… and it does! The connector is different but I already had an iPhone adaptor for my previous mike so panic over. The recording sound level is very quiet though.
This video is very good I would like another discussing setting up multiple lav mics for a set up like you would see in local TV news or at a conference where they have a panel of 4 speakers
Thanks, I've been using these mics in my videos, but felt it looked rather clunky the way I was attaching it to crewnecks. I'll try the broadcast loop next time.
Thanks for that. We have wireles Go mic but the windshield will not stay attached. Currently using an elastic band to keep it in place. It's a pity as most of our blogs are recorded outside so no longer using 😕. Love the video micro though.
Your SC1 cable needs to have some recoiling system or something it constantly gets tangled and becomes a mess. Should have something that retracts it into a little case or something would be way better. Consider this for an update please! 😊
Really! Pointing this mic sideways may work in a closed controlled studio environment, however using it outside or in a noisey environment is not going to be ideal as unwanted noise will get into the mix more prevalently. In addition, the weight and bulk of the mic is pulling her collar down in an obvious way, which otherwise would’ve looked great. I wonder if this is the actual audio from the mic! Just as well Helena is wearing a black shirt, as it does reduce the distraction. Also, why have background music when you’re trying to feature the mic! On another note, I have been waiting for about 2 months for Rode to supply VXLR+ adapter’s. What’s going on. I thought their product’s are made in Australia. Not really good enough Rode. I agree, Helena does a great job.
Ended up ordering this set up and followed the promps to insert clip. "Just slip the windshield off your mike like so." Yep did that and ripped the foam off the windshield head. Later to find that the plastic is to be removed with it. Yep, just slip it off.
Nice clear sound and very engaging - but wonder how you listen to yourself - to gauge the level of loudness you are speaking at - and possibly adjust - with headphone?
Her voice is so soothing and the way she presents all these product and tips is professional yet so casual. Love it.
you took the words out of my mouth !!!!!11 agree
Anyone know her name?
She sounds like an Australian Luann from King of the Hill
You're so single...
@@The_Notorious_N.O.E. her name is crystaline clear voice
Did I just watch an ad of my own free will🗿
Same
The audio produced in this video is superb! I've got a smartLav+ and it has been my only trusted mic for all occasions.
See my other post and comment if possible. Thanks!!!!
what a great presenter !
So true
Yes
@@ArtsyIslandGirlJamaicanVlogs yep
Dude no, she's a robot. It's so obvious.
U mean hot.
Excellent video, informative and straight to the point. Charming presenter too without the typical CZcams nonsense. 5 star review. Thx rode
her voice is so soothing
OK clam down simp
Agreed hes a simp
Some girls are worth simpping for
I have used the Smart Lav+ for years but I still learned a lot from watching this. It's very helpful. Thanks Helena 🌻
Hi Ileane, have you used it together with an iPhone? do you know if that combination works without an adapter? Have you used it for filming with a smartphone?
@@LamaChimey I use it for live streaming from my iPhone all the time! You need to pick up the 3.5 adapter like this one on Amazon amzn.to/2FzIyky
Detailed, clear, precise and professional. Excellent and thank you RODE team 😊
Damn the video is so well produced, I thought it was a commercial and I was ready to jump it haha Nice
It is a commercial

The video was great, and then the bloopers came, and it was pure perfection
I love that they added a bloopers😝
Super easy to follow, clear and concise! Thanks for a great informative video. She did a great job!
this is a great video! And she is so clear and to the point! And yet, very elegant but not in an Apple cocky presenter way. 👍🏽👍🏽
Didn’t need to single anyone out🙃
I agree!
Lol you really chose violence 🤣
Great information, well presented, and love her personality with the inserted outtakes.
I need to start using my lavalier mic for Skype calls. I hadn't considered doing that before . Thanks 👍
I'd love to know what kind of post-processing you used to get this quality out of the Lavalier Go!
great video, she did an excellent job!
To me it was a catatonic act with some staged "I'm-a-nice-girl" antics in the end.
@@PianoGesang Sorry the majority wins!
Very detailed and helpful comparison. Pls review the DJI mic too, considering that for filming.
Sorry Dale, probably not going to happen 😅
@@rodemic Haha! 😂
Thank you for this video, it was so easy to listen to and right to the point! Learnt a lot and makes me want to try your products :)
where are you from?

Thank you so much ❤❤ this video is so useful ❤❤
helped me perfectly! Thanks for making and sharing this. I love my Rode GO II
I bought one of these today and am really looking forward to recording a video with it. 😀 Great video btw
OMG.. thank you for showing us how easy to connect the Lav mic to the clip!! I could never get it quite right! 😝👍
many don't know that
IKR, why didn't they put a simple illustration in the instruction booklet?
It's almost as if they could have included a few simple drawings instead of having me pause and rewind this obnoxious video 10 times.
The sound quality on this video is amazing. What microphone is the presenter using?
I'm guessing a rode lav.
Heavily processed audio mixing
The most crisp audio I've heard
Pretty sure they aren’t using the rode brand
Loved this informative video! Thank you! I feel like I have a much better understanding of what I need now! Thank you ! Ps great presenter :D

And my more expensive lav with the micon connectors suffered the same issue. At least that cable can be replaced, if you're willing to spend $50 for a wire.
@Dominique Josh Aguilar it's really the cable... I cut off the end, solder on a new jack and everything is good again.
wow
does a lavalier change the sound of a wireless mic?
I love the Lav Go! I tend to speak very loud as if in a classroom so there is no problem with keeping the mic attached at the pocket line on my jacket.
What do you connect it to? Or did you buy the wireless set?
@@SharmetThomas I have the 20’ extension cord to connect it to my camera.
Excellent! Concise, to the point. Thanks.
Yah oh my what a lovely accent! The way she spoke and delivered the words were awesome! 😻👏🎉

Found my answer.. here to find how to extend my smartlav+ for positioning. Off to order the sc1 cable. Thank you for a helpful video
When she said you may have seen alot of vloggers, presenters and- and I said " well you are using one too yeah?" 😂
Excellent presentation and a good flowing pace. Enjoyed this, and will experiment with my LGo for a flute concert!
How did the audio quality turn out to be in the recording of the flute concert???
I am wondering if it is suitable for recording classical concerts, too!
Good presentation and editing... I love the realness of everything😀
Very helpful - can't wait to start using mine! 🎤
This was so soothing to watch.
She has a very soothing voice
Very helpful

Great job. I have been struggling to Connect an external mic to my wireless Go, now I know which cable to buy!
4:42, hands down, best part of the video lol
Also, 5:10
this video helped me so much thanks RODE
Idk if $200 is what I'd classify as "affordable" but I appreciate the quality of this video nonetheless.
Such great product from an award winning brand. Well presented....
Perfect explanation. Thanks RODE . Anxious to buy RODE product to make my first videos. Thanks Team RODE
Supurb, this is exactly what I was looking for a quite long time.
Question : as she mentioned: Grey for mobile phone & black for camera.
What happens if black is used for mobile ( cell phone )? Will it still work?
No it won't, as the connection required for mobile is a TRRS versus the TRS connection used in cameras.
I bought the lavalier GO under the impression it would work with a phone… and it does! The connector is different but I already had an iPhone adaptor for my previous mike so panic over. The recording sound level is very quiet though.
What microphone and equipment was used to record the sound of this video? Sounds really great
you serious? XD
@@f.stopperrmedia1606 it's a legitimate question... I wouldn't be surprised if it's a pencil condenser out of frame lol
FINALLY SOMEONE! 😍
Great video helped out alot
The part where is said we’ve got you covered after mentioning the windscreen. #clever
What?
Great job on the tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
just watched this...AGAIN! love it. just got a mic lets see how well I can connect it.im getting a lot of static
You’re awesome and your voice! Thank you! The sound quality is nice
