Rated 5 out of 5 stars

My Rode Wireless GO II started acting up and I had no idea why. I called customer service fully expecting to either get voicemail or a repair bill — the setup is out of warranty. Instead, Isabella pic... See more

I owned several microphones K2, NT2000, Nt4, Nt3 and i only have good things to say regarding the construction and sound balance. A little on the bright side as tonal sound for my taste but great prod... See more

Rode mics thanks very much !

Over the last five years I’ve purchased the following :

Rode videomicro
Rode videomic me
Rode reporter
Rode videomic
And recently the Rode NTG2

I bought them for private use and found that for the money the audio and build quality along with the reliability were great .
I always receive positive comments on the quality of the audio .
Like any mainstream electronics these days all brands can have issues but I havnt experienced any so far.
I’ve used the mics with the following :

iPhone 6s
iPhone 6s Plus
Panasonic GH4
Canon 60D

So yes I would continue to use Rode equipment .

I thought I was onto a winner with the SmartLav+ microphone but it's given me nothing but grief.

It doesn't work with the Samsung Galaxy S9 (even though Rode support say they work with all Android).

Support gave me a bunch of apps to try but none of them work either. I initially blamed Samsung but then tried the microphone with my Panasonic camcorder and it still doesn't work!

I've wasted £60. Such a bad experience. I've had this stupid microphone for almost 2 months and have spent my whole time talking to support and trying to find ways to make it work.

It's a microphone, for crying out loud! Should be easy!

Rode Rec iOS app CRASH

Major problems with RødeRec iOS app!

I have a problem with exporting large files recorded using Røde Rec (version 2.8.1). The app crashes every time I try to open or export large files. I have tried a wired file transfer, upload to Dropbox etc... nothing works...!

When I make shorter recordings it works fine. But don’t expect your long recordings can be retrieved in any way from your phone!!

I got a (standard) reply from Røde that confirm they are aware of these problems… They came with a solution to retrieve my recording manually using iExplorer. It doesn’t work.

So I am, to say the least, very disappointed with the Rode Rec iOS app…!!!
