General

The Røde RODELink Newsshooter Kit is part of the RODELink series, which consists of a variety of wireless mic systems. This Newsshooter Kit is particularly handy because it allows you to connect the XLR transmitter directly to the XLR output of a microphone of your choice. This includes a condenser microphone, seeing as the transmitter is capable of providing 48-volt phantom power. Incidentally, the TX-XLR transmitter is also equipped with a mini jack input. Pairing these devices is a breeze with the included RX-CAM receiver that connects with the camera.

RODELink Newsshooter Kit: Transmitter and receiver

Both the transmitter and the receiver can be powered by two AA batteries each. Other power options include micro USB for a continuous power supply, or - in the case of the TX-XLR transmitter - a Sony NP-F battery. With a mere push of a button, the system will search for an available frequency (you can use 8 RODELink sets simultaneously) so you can connect the transmitter and the receiver with one another. The receiver can easily be mounted to the camera via the hot shoe, screwed onto a 3/8" stand, or clipped to your belt.

Audio quality

The Newsshooter Kit boasts good sound quality because it doesn't limit you to any microphone in particular; the transmitter can be connected to the high-quality a presentation or directional mic of your choice You can also rely on stable digital communication anywhere in the world with its 2.4 GHz band, 100-metre range and extremely low latency of only 4 milliseconds. Finally, both transmitter and receiver continually search for the strongest two signals to ensure steady use.

Ik maakte me eerst zorgen of het geluidskwaliteit goed genoeg zou zijn, gezien het apparaat draadloos is. Maar ik ben erg onder de indruk van de audio kwaliteit die binnen komt.
Werkt goed met mijn gh5s.
Aanrader voor professioneel gebruik. Maar ook voor hobbyisten.

Rode Reporter wordt nu wel geleverd in combinatie met de Rode Newsshooter kit. Kennelijk is mijn advies overgenomen.

De combinatie Rode Reporter met Rode News shooter werkt top in combinatie met de Nikon D850. Ik gebruik deze combinatie voor CAMJO werk voor het AD.

Producten conform verwachting snel geleverd voor de beste prijs.

Natuurlijk erg jammer dat ik de 15% jubileum korting misliep. Als ik dat geweten had.
