All is good with the mics but missing audio cable

Reviewed by Rivers on B&H Photo Video
I bought these mics a few months ago. Just opened then now and realized that the cable to connect the receiver to the camera was not included. I did get 3 USB C to USB-C cables though. Guess I am out of luck but otherwise nice mics.
Excellent wireless system

One of the killer features of this little device is that each transmitter can record its own audio, as a back up. Approximately 400 feet of in-sight distance gives me great flexibility. Love this thing
These Mics are the BEST!!

We do a lot of Video blogging and having the freedom of wireless and staying charged all day is a huge bonus. They work great..... I do suggest you look into the wired mics for these are the quality of sound is just a little bit better.
Love love love!

Absolutely love this wireless kit. The internal recording feature is insane, and they made it super easy to use. Long battery life and solid connection (much better than the wireless go I). Currently using mine with the Tascam DR10L lav mics.
Doesn't turn on out of the package.

Was really hoping these would be a good option for me and my business. But right out the box, and after charging for a few hours, the main unit wont turn on. Dang.

Amazing and simple system. Pair it with a Lav mic and it's the perfect setup. Easy to use and has functioned flawlessly. The App is simple to change settings on devices or update firmware. Highly recommended.
Came in so clutch at wedding

Reviewed by Logan on B&H Photo Video
I really needed a wireless recording system to video a wedding. Since on a wedding dress, there aren't many places you can place a microphone, but this one worked quite well as you can mount the receiver itself being so small in a place that is hidden without compromising sound quality.

What a great little system. Sound quality is superb, connection is fast and distance is much greater than my needs. If you are familiar with Rode then you know these wireless mics are top notch for the price.
Very Convenient and High Quality!

These are very easy to use and has excellent sound quality and range. They can be easily adapted for any use as well. The only down side is to be careful of the MUTE button on the transmitters as it is easy to accidently push if the transmitter is placed in a pocket.
Stupid Simple

I don't find this to be a wildly versatile setup but for a stupid simple 2-person audio setup, it's a dream. Great battery life, they pair super easy, and they are easy enough to stash on a set. The lapel mic option is great as well for live stream interviews. So far so good!
Best Audio Purchase you can make

RODE did a great job creating the GO II. Both lavs worked well and can be easily hidden on your subject's garments. I give this 5 out of 5 for me. I believe every videographer should have this in their audio kits.

Love this microphone, east to use and simple setup packed into a small package. Works great with my iPhone 12 Pro Max using the lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter and trs to ttrs cord. Count have made a better purchase.

Thus far my experience with these small lav packs has been really good. I don't use them for professional shoots, but they are my recommendation for those wanting a wireless lavs for small live stream setups.

Easy to use. This is my pair of mics for video. They're dead simple to use straight out of the box. Audio quality seems really good but I have nothing to compare it to. I just wish they were a little more discreet.
Good but not great.

I connected a lav mic and there was interference noise after I replayed my videos. For its cost, I wished this wasn't the case as I've read Saramonic doesn't have as much or no interference at all. That's why I've been using it without a lav mic and just clip it to the collar of my cycling jersey as I make cycling YouTube videos. Good sound using the transmitter, but not great.
Inexpensive, but High Quality!

The Rode Wireless Go II Mics are well packaged and easy to use. However, the directions that come with it are lacking, and there is a lot of information you have to dig for online. These types of mics have a very wide range of sound pickup so they're great for filming from far away and up close.
Excellent Solution for Run and Gun

This replaced my Zoom H1 with lav solution and sped up my workflow. Can still use with a lav, and sometimes do, but this fits. Only reason I rated it 4 stars is PotatoJet has an excellent review of it where he points out how fast it can clip.

I have been pleased with the performance and portability of this system. The packs are small but sound great and are quick to setup. The display on the receiver indicates the battery life and audio levels of both transmitters - a nice feature.
