*Update - I did some additional testing on the clicking issue. It does not appear to be related to wind and the GainAssist feature. My current hypothesis is that it may be caused by radio frequency interference. Best to turn your phone to airplane mode when filming. We filmed most of this with the RØDE Capture app. It doesn't have exposure or white balance controls as far as I can tell so the footage is pretty rough. But this represents the most common use case for the Wireless ME - vlogging with a mobile phone. Please don't judge me. LOL

A great review as always. It appeared that all three mics mentioned have non-replaceable batteries? I agree this is a mis-step. Also, the minimum requirement for me is reliability. The ME seems to fall short in this respect. I suspect most people don't have the opportunity or desire to repeat shoots or events as a matter of course when something goes wrong. Get the reliability rock-solid, then add features, please. Thanks again for the review!

Correct - all three have non-user-replaceable batteries. In terms of connecting and tranmitting sound, we found these to be reliable. The clicking appears to be radio frequency interference upon further testing (still a hypothesis at this point).

Thank you Curtis for the review. The microphone is very boxy/muddy, but RODE’s wireless distance is amazing. Unfortunately RODE once again made the mistake of slapping a large logo across the the front. Most people use black gaff to cover it as it is a huge distraction. They somehow made it worse with the ME. My suggestion would be to keep the side engravement and remove the front logo as well as the gloss. Maybe they could release colorful cases to protect the TX while also making it look better on camera. At least a white one for weddings. I don’t think you mentioned this in your DJI Mic review, but the microphone input is indented on the TX which prevents microphones with locking connectors from fully connecting. The RODE Wireless Go II does not have this problem. Ironically I had to buy the Rode Go Lav’s to make the DJI Mic work as my Sanken COS-11D’s and Sennheiser MKE-2’s did not work with it. I’m sure DJI lavs would not be good anyway. The only thing that makes the DJI Mic worth it is the shape, the record button on the side, and the ability to easily offload files rather than using the RODE Central App. You still have to gaff the logo off the front. DJI also needs a white option for weddings. Overall I would use the RODE units as actual wireless units since you can use lavs that cost more than the RODE on the RODE. I’d use the DJI mics as quick interview mics where you clip it on and hit record. The last thing I’m going to say is the RODE’s should have locking connectors because the Tascam DR-10L has them and they only cost $169 now. Thats the only thing I ever worry about with them.

Hi Curtis, Nice review! I strongly agree with you about internal batteries. This is the main reason I don't buy such a device. While I'd like to have a wireless system for my hobby activities, I didn't find a low budget one having the below properties: - Replaceable batteries,-; Low latency; Acceptable self noise; Good connection. These features may be found, maybe, in Rode-Link as a used kit (to be budget friendly, let's say about €200 used). The drawback for Rode-Link is really bulky. Would you recommend in 2023 a Rode-Link, or what would be your suggestion?

I've had the WGo II since launch. I used them daily for a year before both Tx batteries puffed (electrolyte decomposition) and self-disassembled from the pressure. The batteries had connectors, so I unplugged them. First, support gave me a hard time for taking them apart. Then they tried to blame my charger. I was confused about the hassle for a couple batteries. They eventually sent me a whole new system. I was finally told they expect the batteries to last 10 years and have no battery replacement program. Your whine will go away with a balun like a Rode VXLR Pro (if your camera supports it), or a Foundation Engineering USB Data and Power Isolator. Be careful with cheaper USB isolators since none I found are rated for enough power. I see they noticed everyone greeking the II and made the ME even more obnoxious. Way to take the hint, Rode.

I don't know if anyone noticed this, that in 2:49, 3:22, 5:04 it has a click sound. Is it on the editing side or in wireless itself?

Theres also one at 8:30. I think there might be more clicks in the video. I notice a little one at 9:45 too, while writing this comment. Around 11:15 as well, 2 clicks. 13:38, 14:51, 15:38. Ok this is not usable. Thanks for the review. Im staying away from it! Edit: I watched a couple of other Wireless ME review videos. They all have these same clicks when using it with an iphone; not with a dslr. They're barely noticeable but they're there. So its wireless interference coming from iphone. So anyone reading this and consider buying, it seems you'll be ok using it with dslr with no wifi or have an airplane mode, or with an iphone airplane mode on.

Great overview. Does the dual transmitter split the signal into Left and Right or are both mono? Can you use a set of two receivers within the same area?

in split mode you will record two mono mic signals , one onto each side of the stereo track in the camera. You can split them back out in your video editing software to regain pan and volume control.

Yes, as Peter noted you can set to merged or split modes. In theory you should be able to use two receivers, but i didn’t have two to try. Many people who have tried that with other 2.4GHz wireless systems have had mixed results. Not sure if that would also be the case for the ME.

@@curtisjudd from reading in the Rode Users Group you can use two receivers it if you keep a bit of distance between them- but don’t stack them on top of each other.

Rode did in past very often violate US trademark patents when it comes to consumer microphones. It’s a shame with the batteries… typical Chinese industrial design… where are this mics produced? Please do us the favour and name this things in yours reviews.

@@curtisjudd this I know… production place.. somewhere made in china on the plastic? Try this set somewhere where a lot of people are with their mobiles. The distance will be reduced very fast to 10 meters or less. Additional it will come to recording interruptions and other little side effects. Rode as Company is placed in Sydney Australia. This means not the microphones are produced there. And it means not that they buy a complete concept including software in china or another country and just make a product. If you see it in Material price such devices can be rated arround 5 to 10$ maximum including microphone capsules. 40$ for marketing and rest is win. The target group is a user that knows he have a mobile and it should work when pressing some button.

@@curtisjudd yes i did. see and look all yours videos complete. It’s not a question of yours recommendation. With Rode in general it’s that you can hear this is a Rode. They have a very specific sound. It’s a personal taste but I am not a fan of their sound. Once my husband bought me a Smartlav 2 and this was realy a pain. Normal we have a box for no more used electronics for parts or DIY experiments. But the Smartlav 2 I put direct in the trash. For me there is the question why you realy did accept this test and make a review. Those products match not yours level of yours channel. To find just some friendly words?
