Great hear, yes I noticed that it is hard to get the Rode SC15. Glad the video was helpful.

Thank you Gary. This is the best tip I was aware of -by far- for the last couple of years.

On my iPad, i wanted to connect the Rode Wireless Go 2 to the lightning 'digital' and charge at the same time with the Belkin Dual Lightning Adapter. It didn't work, no matter what I tried. I bought the dual apple usb & lightning to lightning and using your method connected it up and its working. Thank you very much.😁

You're the man. Thanks. Stress = Reduced.

Seriously useful tip - thanks Gary. We make sailing adventure videos just for fun. On a recent adventure, (filming a race for a local charity) a light shower of salt spray destroyed my main camera. So we are making-do with our iPhones. This is exactly the sort of tip needed to get the best from them. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Cheers, Gavin & Amanda.

Thanks so much Gary. Literally saved me 20 bucks scrambling to get a patch cable off Amazon last minute (the better lightening cable is not immediately available) I already have the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adaptor with the added charging port to connect my Blue Yeti so its great i will be able to get more use out of this only occasionally used item! Even better it might have a one up on the Rode cable as i can use the added lightening port to keep charging my phone at same time i would think!

Thanks a lot! Although i used a amazon adapter and it worked just fine! Doesn't seem to need to be an apple adapter!

The USB adapter is much better than using the SC15, as it lets it charge both devices at the same time. I had serious problems with the SC15 either not charging or not picking up at all when using a splitter. But if you do it via the USB C cable and the Apple USB adapter it works much better

i heard the name “Gary” is becoming extinct - nobody is being called “Gary” anymore - so you’re the last of a dying breed. Anyways, good informative video Gary 💯

What app do you use to monitor the levels from the mic while filming?

Hey Gary, 10/10 on the video. I’m just wondering if there’s any way to monitor the audio while using the SC-15 cable other than using the meters in Filmic pro as a guide. I tied plugging small earphones into the 3.5mm output but you can barely hear anything. Thanks for your help 👍

Todd, the WG2 receiver is only capable of handling 2 transmitters. You can connect two WG2 sets into a DSLR camera with an adapter cable. I see Comica now have a 4 channel mic set. www.comica-audio.com/product/BoomX-U-QUA-107.html

What’s the main diff between digital and analog audio? Please explain that

@kirchenkreispaderborn

2 жыл бұрын

Best is to stay digital as long as possible. If you use an analogue connection (e.g. with a TRS/TRRS to lightning adapter) the audio gets converted one more time: From digital (Rode) to analogue (Adapter) to digital (iPhone). If you are using the SC-15 the chain will be digital (Rode) to digital (iPhone). Each time an AD/DA (analogue to digital / digital to analogue) conversion happens, the audio will be affected quality-wise. So far with the theory... Check for yourself if you can hear a differnce.

If this works well, what is the advantage of getting the SC-15?

@GaryDmedia

2 жыл бұрын

Maybe price Julie. If you don’t already own an Apple camera adapter the SC-15 is cheaper.

Can u do a video showing the actual diff between using the adapter and the curly cable. Because what’s the benefit of using the apple adapter? All I wanna do is set up both mics to my iPhone using the native camera app. When 2 people are talking into the camera I want clean audio. I do not want to mess with audio in post. Just clean audio from the raw video file. Will the rode go 2 do that?

@GaryDmedia

2 жыл бұрын

Yes you can use the curly lead but your two mics will be mixed to a mono feed. That means both mics will be on both left and right audio channels of your video. If you want separated left and right mics on the video you will have to use the digital connection. Hope that helps explain it.

@GaryDmedia

2 жыл бұрын

No worries John, the video file is created in the iPhone. The iPhone software decides how it will save the AV file. So it should not be different using a different audio source. If you are syncing in post a separate recording from a recorder, that’s when there may be a change. I would not record any audio in mp3. When mp3 files are compressed they can become out of sync with the video file. I would only use mp3 as a recording format if memory size was limited and it was an emergency backup.
