RØDE - Lavalier GO

So I wanted to give this product a 4 but it wouldn't be fair to the product because it actually does sound good. I made a video review on this microphone here...https://youtu.be/dkR4_8QKHJk To give a brief review using my words, this microphone sounds good and is an easy plug and play product. It is quite small In size so concealing it under clothing is easy. Other then it's very short 4'2" cable length, I couldn't figure any other bads about this microphone. It is pretty sensitive to picking up ambient sounds depending on the DB levels. Of all the microphones whether wireless or shotgun styled, I almost never find myself using this Lav mic. My ratings are strictly based off the microphone's performance which is rather excellent. Rode never said this microphone came with a long cable, they never advertised it as the best lav mic on the market or anything false. In my personal opinion, I would say this microphone is best used for settings where the ambient noise is below 78db. It works fine in noisier environments, just be ready to hear the backround noise in your output when playing back the audio. I want to be clear that this lav microphone is a "close range" microphone. What that means is whatever you want to connect this to needs to be within an arm's reach. I've used this for vlogging with my GoPro having it directly connected and with a 22" selfie stick fully extended, I've reached the cord's max length "when concealing the cable inside my shirt". This lav microphone works very very well with my Rode wireless Go incase you guys were wondering. It allows more flexibility with microphone placement of you don't want to use the Wireless go's transmitter itself which I have a video on that microphone as well. - yes you can use this with a personal recording device (as long as it has a 3.5mm input jack for you to connect this in) - yes you can use it for your DSLR or point and shoot camera (also as long as it has a 3.5mm input jack) - I use this with my Samsung note 10+ using the "Voice recorder app" and with my GoPro Hero8 inside the media mod. A special adaptor is needed to use this with your modern samsung and apple phones that no longer have a 3.5mm input jack. - I am not sure if you could use this with a laptop as a dedicated microphone for web chatting or anything relative but if your device has a didicated microphone input, I'm sure you could. You guys could always reach me on Snapchat, Gmail or on my YouTube channel @ Jonasegway. I like to do random test with equipment of all sorts with as many different scenarios as possible, grabbing as much information as possible so hopefully I am able to answer your questions or concerns you may have on this product. Enjoy your day and hopefully you'll find good use of this mic.

I have a Canon T2i and wanted better sound quality when filming a video. The Rode Lavalier Go mic picks up the voice quite clearly. For a Lavalier, it's good at minimizing background noise. Another reason I chose this mic is that its connector fits the DSLR camera microphone input, which requires a TRS(3 pole) connector. Be aware that microphone has only a 4-foot cable that it's not in the product description. It's rather short to connect directly to the DSLR camera. I believe this microphone is meant to go with the RODE wireless system. I purchased an extension cable to solve the problem.

Great mic for the Rode Wireless Go, I have 4 of them now.

Good quality product. It is important that you buy the adapter. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rde-sc4-3-5mm-to-3-5mm-female-male-microphone-adapter-gray-black/6255420.p?skuId=6255420

The R0DE wireless mic is great! Just a little too bulky, this here makes it less distraction and can be easily hidden

Great little lav mic, it’s pretty expensive, but it does a good job.

Great quality product, well built and works great with the rode wireless go system.

I was really amazed. My voice sounds like as if I am recording in a studio. Wow! I use this with my gopro hero 8 using media mod
