Rode Wireless Go II

February 2021, RØDE announced the Wireless GO II, a follow-up to the very popular Wireless Go that was released in April 2019.





What's the same?

  • Same pocket-size form factor.  
  • Same weight. Receiver 32g and transmitters at 31g each.
  • Same built-in omnidirectional condenser mic on the transmitters. 
  • Same clip design. 
  • Built-in 3.5 mm mic input jack. 
What's new? 
  • New dual-channel recording.
  • Extended range and improved transmission stability. 200m from 70m. 
  • On-board recording capabilities. 
  • Flexible Gain Control. 
  • Safety Channel. 
  • RØDE Central app. 
  • Universal compatibility with cameras, mobile devices, and computers. 
  • More information on the built-in Receiver display. 
Wow! It's just like the Mirfak Audio WE10 that I recently reviewed... https://youtu.be/ASWu2bOskLc


I just need to find out what is safety channel and central app.

I believe the Rode version will be more expensive too. 

  • No need SD card for recording 
  • Battery indicators for all 3 units. 
  • Optional SC15 USB-C to Lightning cable for recording into smartphones. 
  • 200m range vs 50m for WE10.
  • A central app for firmware updates and control. (App for computer only, not for smartphone - a big issue I see here!)
  • The safety channel records at -20db in case the main channel distorts. Wow! I needed this a long long time ago. (Works only in stereo recording mode, not mono, and for one TX at a time).
With the new features, iI would rather get the Rode Wireless Go II even if I don't need the second transmitter for vlogging and streaming. 

Price? US$299

ADDING TEXT AND TITLES | HITFILM 4 EXPRESS Tutorial #1

Image
For most parts, Hitfilm 4 Express (the free professional video editing software) operates almost like Adobe Premiere Pro. However, it’s not the same when it comes to adding titles and texts. Being a special effects software, the text features in Hitfilm 4 Express is better than Premiere Pro, especially when creating animations. So here’s how to add text and titles in Hitfilm 4 Express. In the Media panel, click on “New” and select “Composite Shot”. In the dialog box, ensure that the template is the same setting as your project. In my case, it’s “1080p Full HD @ PAL 25 fps”. Then click “OK”. In the Viewer panel, select the Text Tool and click anywhere inside the viewer. In the Text Properties dialog box, click “OK”. We can come back later to change any setting. Start typing inside the viewer on the blue box. Change back to Selection Tool and re-position the text box. Go to the Text Control panel to change the font, size, color, and other text properties. When the text becomes t

How to Make a YouTube Video End Screen Using Templates

Image
http://www.videolane.com/youtube-end-screen-maker/ Have you noticed most YouTube videos end with clickable thumbnails that lead to other videos? On the same screen is also a subscription button. The purpose is to encourage viewers to watch your other videos and to subscribe to your channel. In the past, you had to edit the end screen yourself into the actual video. Somewhere around October 2016, YouTube made it easier to create the end screen. Let me share with you the fastest way I use this feature to make my YouTube end screen in just 10 steps. 1. Sign into your YouTube Account, click on your account icon on top, then click on Creator Studio. 2. From the left menu, select Video Manager, then Videos. 3. Find the video you want to add end screen to and click on the Edit button. 4. From the top bar, select “End screen & Annotations”. 5. Click on “Use template” button. 6. Scroll down and choose a template. I like the one with a circle between two rectangle blocks

List of Top Video Stock Footage Sites

Like  royalty-free music , we also have royalty-free video clips. Pay once for the licence and use many times over. Sometimes it’s cheaper to buy a footage, rather than go shoot the footage yourself. Pond5 is my favourite because it’s affordable, and also I have my own clips being sold there. Imagine a  silent 10-second close-up clip of a cellist in action selling at $47 . I have even made  a complete corporate video just using stock footage  (many years ago). the only media that the client gave was two photographs, a picture of their directors, and their factory front gate. Legal Warning: Remember to read and understand each site’s license agreement, to be sure of usage limits, if any. Here’s the list of royalty-free stock footage sites.
