Product Description
RODELink represents the next generation of digital wireless systems. Using a series II 2. 4GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption, it is able to constantly monitor and hop between frequencies to maintain the strongest possible signal level at a range of up to 100 meters (over 100 yards). The RODELink Filmmaker Kit provides everything you need to start shooting video wirelessly, including a receiver, transmitter and broadcast-grade lavalier microphone. The receiver (RX-CAM) features an OLED display with information on level, battery status (receiver and transmitter), mute and channel selection. The unit can be mounted on a standard camera shoe mount, 3/8" thread or belt-clip, and for added versatility the shoe mount can be located in one of two positions. The lightweight transmitter (TX-BELT) can be fitted to a belt or clothing and features a locking thread to ensure the microphone connection is as secure as possible. RODE's omnidirectional Lavalier microphone is included in the kit to provide the highest possible audio reproduction quality.

Dead-simple brainless hookup -- "it just works" (after you figure out how to put the batteries in) without any pairing magic or channel selection issues. Unlike other solutions below this price point, this is a *digital* transmission, which translates to a lower noise floor -- less hum, hiss, dropouts, and spurious noise than with analog transmission. I tried the Movo kit, and the level of hiss and hum compared to the Rode was unacceptable. Didn't try the Azden kit, I jumped straight to the Rode after watching a youtube head-to-head comparison review.
The lavalier (lapel) mic sounds fantastic -- rich bass for nice chest tone, and picks up pleasant high-end sibilance from collar region. Includes spring-loaded pin mount, foam cover, and outdoor "dead mouse" wind sock. No instructions on how to attach the pin or covers to the mic cord, but given a diagram of the "finished" look you can puzzle out how to do it. Yes, the ultra-thin lightweight cord from the mic to the transmitter is fragile, but that also makes it easy to thread through clothing and minimizes cable rubbing noise. Love the positive-lock screw-in 1/8" mini-plug connectors -- you don't *have* to screw them in, but that avoids problems with talent or camera operators accidentally pulling out plugs and having no audio. Love the status display on the receiver -- shows battery level of *both* units, and indicates when talent unit is muted or shut off. Weight is heavier than cheaper units, but still fine to mount on camcorders or DSLRs (I measured 0.41 lbs for each unit). For use with a SONY 4K handycam and its recessed multi-interface shoe, I needed more room for my fingers to fit underneath the receiver, so I used a cold shoe adapter JJC MSA-MIS Standard Cold Shoe Adapter Converter for Sony Multi Interface Shoe Camcorder (Black) to gain an extra inch of height. There are internal level settings (0, 10db, 20db) on transmitter and receiver -- I like that, this setting is rarely changed (default is 0db on both and works fine) and there's no risk of accidentally hitting an external switch.
On the negative side, the manual is super-dense (you'll need a magnifying glass) and basically useless, and Rode is the WORST at designing battery compartments. I had to search for a youtube video on how to put in the batteries!! You push in a plastic button on the back and then *slide* the *larger* piece to open -- very non-intuitive. Inside, the battery springs are *crazy* tight, if you don't have long fingernails you will need a small tool like a mini-screwdriver to pry out used batteries. Rode suggests Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries for max life; but just be disciplined about shutting off units right after an interview and they seem to last a long time.
Pros who want more channel options and XLR connectors and level/tone controls have lots of options starting at about 2x the price of this unit, but for hobbyists and semi-pros who want great wireless sound quality from a single mic without any fuss, this really is the best solution.
The wireless LAV takes virtually no setup, pop open the receiver and transmitter, stick a pair of AA batteries in each, and turn them on. They find each other automatically in a matter of seconds, and I found that turning up the transmitter by +10db with the little switch was enough to have my subjects at speaking volume fall perfectly at -12db; no fiddling with sensitivity for long spans of time, no clipping, this thing just comes with a setting that is absolutely perfect for interviews, tutorials, and general dialogue. The sound is warm and crisp, surprisingly nice.
All in all, there is nothing like it in this price range. The only downside of the system is that it is simply a 1-on-1 kit. One transmitter that pairs to one reciever, and from what I've read no way to buy more transmitters and pair them to a single receiver. If you need a kit for a panel discussion with multiple people, or you're trying to do film dialogue with multiple actors, this isn't the best solution. For those cases, you'll want to either rent gear or save up the extra $200-400 for a good sennheiser kit with multiple transmitters and lav mics. But, if you're an indie filmmaker on a budget just doing individual interviews or documentary work, this is an amazing deal to get you into professional sounding audio.

Si tu estas buscando un micrófono confiable y de buena calidad compra este.
Ce kit est très simple, on a un récepteur d’un côté et un émetteur de l’autre, auquel on va brancher un micro-cravate.
L’intérêt de ce système, c’est de ne pas être relié par un fil à la caméra. On va pouvoir se déplacer et prendre de la distance par rapport à la caméra, tout en conservant le niveau de la voix avec le micro-cravate.
Dans la boite, on a un récepteur monté déjà avec un sabot de fixation avec vis, permettant de le monter sur pied ou directement sur la griffe de la caméra et comme le sabot est rond, on peut orienter le récepteur dans le sens qu’on souhaite, donc c'est plutôt pratique. On a également un câble jack reliant le récepteur à un enregistreur.
Ensuite on a le transmetteur, d'ailleurs on ne pas se tromper, il y a Rx sur le récepteur et Tx sur le transmetteur. Et puis on a une petite pochette de rangement, avec le micro-cravate, la pince, la petite bonnette et même un windjammer pour protéger le micro du vent en extérieur.
Les boitiers sont assez imposant, même plus grand qu’un seinheiser g3, mais avec ceux là, on a pas l’antenne qui dépasse, elle est directement intégrée.
Pour utiliser le Kit HF, c'est très simple, il suffit d’allumer les deux boitiers et ils devraient automatiquement se reconnaitre. Si ce n’est pas le cas, vérifier qu’ils soient bien sur le même canal. Sans quoi vous pouvez appairer les deux boitiers en appuyant sur les deux boutons à l’intérieur des boitiers. Si les deux boitiers sont bien connectés, en principe, ça ne clignote plus.
Au niveau des réglages, j’ai trouvé qu’avec +20db sur le transmetteur et -10db sur le récepteur, le rapport signal bruit avait l’air assez correcte. En tout cas, si vous l'utilisez avec une caméra, il est important descendre le gain au minimum, les préamplis des caméras étant rarement très bon.
Côté portée, elle est annoncée à 100m en condition optimale.
Jusqu'à présent je n'ai eu aucun souci particulier avec ce système, la qualité audio est très correcte, et le signal étant cryptée en 2.4GHz, il évite la plupart des interférences.
Je l'utilise en prestation, pour des interviews ou pour des vidéos YouTube. Je recommande.
ps: Vous pouvez voir mon test du kit RodeLink Filmmaker sur ma chaîne "Derrière La Caméra".
Je tiendrais ce commentaire un jour, si des problèmes viennent à apparaitre.

I am using this for recording sound for my videos published at Youtube Channel Youngoora
You can watch videos to check the sound quality shot from a distance of more than 15 feet.
Three levels of settings are very useful to adjust what you want to record.
I was able to record clear sound of my subject even in noisy environment of lounge. Also doing decibel setting I was able to record interview using single unit (One mic tagged on the anchor collar). I really recommend this product to Vloggers and even outdoor shoots. Sound recording clarity in different surroundings can be easily observed in videos published at Youtube Channel Youngoora. Watch the videos before buying this product. See the practical results and you will love it
