Overview
With more powerful features that are easier to use than ever before, the clay RODE Wireless GO (Gen 3) system lets videographers, vloggers, and mobile journalists quickly and confidently record two on-camera personalities to a mobile device or camera and get professional sounding, broadcast-ready results.
Boasting secure Series IV 2.4 GHz digital transmission, easy operability, transmitters with built-in mics (lavalier mics available separately), and a dual-channel receiver, the system is ready to go at the press of a button; you can focus on getting the shot knowing that the Wireless GO is delivering quality audio at a range of up to 260 meters.
