Just to add that I have heard back from Rode and the new pad is quite subtle, reducing the TX input sensitivity by 4dB.

Yet another firmware update (with usual odd numbering: now 1.6.0), this time with a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXuewOlvecg

The standalone recording doesn't seem hugely...

Interesting Ben: thanks for that. Of course a Manfrotto 501PL is a classic example of a long video camera plate with a registration pin which rather rubs it in that stills camera makers never added a...

Ah, you had more luck than I did finding an Arca-style plate with a lip amongst the usual affordable suppliers like Haoge. That said, that Colorado Tripod Company one I ended up with at £9 is in a...

Thanks Tim: glad you liked the blog about the speakers (sourced but a few miles from where you are in Hove!).

Cheers,

It sounds really trivial, but I've long been frustrated by the single 1/4" screw that fixes quick-release plates to DSLRs and, nowadays, mirrorless cameras, especially given that sprung pins for a...

I suspect that you are right that there isn't any 32-bit hardware. Anyway aside from such guesses, Rode have got back to me re the latest firmware (v.1.4.8) to say that besides unspecified bug fixes...

well, good luck: obviously we don't know what's inside the TX units yet. Really odd, though, to offer 32-bit export of a 24-bit file at the mo, as if that would be of use to anyone: we can only hope...

And so the mysterious firmware updates march on! Version 1.4.8 released, which seems to have followed on from v.1.3.3: if there were ones in between I missed them, and still there is no info/version...

That's useful Nathan. So what firmware version were you using? As I mentioned there was more than one firmware update last week, with no obvious changes in them. I have asked Rode again to provide...

Unless the lav mic is dynamic too, like the Shure SM11. In fact this might be the only dynamic lav mic still made (I think the Electro-Voice 649B is no longer in production). But, of course, the...

Another (unannounced) firmware update, again with no info as to what has changed, and nothing evident from use of the wireless mics or the Rode Central software: this one is v.1.3.3, which is odd...

I've heard from Rode saying 'The 1.2.4 update was mainly to fix a bug which would sometimes prevent the transmitter from being read by the app. Unplugging and plugging it back in again would normally...

I note that the Rode Wireless GO ii firmware has now been updated to version 1.2.4. With no details of the various firmware releases on Rode's website, it is not apparent to me what has changed:...

Yes, good suggestions Nathan.

Scorsesfan: yes a limiter added via firmware could be of some use (digital limiters in handheld recorders are often of...er...limited use), as long as it can be...

By way of an update, Rode (Australia) got back to me overnight in a very positive and friendly email, apologizing for responsiveness falling below their normal standards, and thanking me for my...

I'm puzzled: the Rode Wireless GO ii is pretty much as expected (esp. for those already familiar with the original model). Of course it has been a frustrating/busy few days for those dealing with/or...

Thanks for the report: sounds pretty hopeful.

No Rode Europe, but country-specific distributors - that for the UK being Source, who deal with a host of other brands too, but are the UK contact 'regarding tech support, servicing or repair of an...

I don't have any particular insights into how to communicate with Rode, Nathan: I've just used their 'contact support' section on their website, but can't say I've been bowled over by their...

Thanks Chris for confirming sample-accurate syncing, and for describing your workflow. V. interesting. Plus, I enjoyed watching your 2007 example!

Cheers,

Indeed: I mentioned the 30 mins 44 secs duration back in post #160! As I said then, the wav file is 259,356KB, but, of course, this is the exported format and file size: as I mentioned in post #164...

Haha! You're the one speculating as to the reason, Peter, not me! I simply reported the length of the files...

Going by the website ref to hour-long blocks Rode evidently changed its mind, perhaps...

interesting posts Chris. Good to have you confirm the absence of markers. Yes, syncing with Pluraleyes or, perhaps better (certainly cheaper) Davinci Resolve is a good solution: I assume this is...

Yes, i'm sure that there were others than us reporting to Rode. Do post about your tests: Times Square is a little different to here in rural Norfolk (UK)!
