Rode has announced a lot of stuff during NAB 2023 so far. There’s been the Rode Streamer X (buy here) video and audio capture device for podcasting, streaming and content creation, as well as the RodeCaster Duo (buy here), a slightly cut-down RodeCaster Pro II (buy here) for those who require fewer inputs and a lower budget. Now, it’s the turn of the Rode Wireless GO II (buy here), which sees a big update addressing two of the biggest complaints about the Rode Wireless GO II.

The first is the release of a new, official Rode Wireless GO II charging case. No longer do you need to resort to third-party cases, or tying up multiple USB sockets on your charger with a bunch of cables. The second is a new firmware update coming to the Wireless GO II that lets you record and access wav files directly from the transmitters rather than having to run it through the Rode Central conversion process.

It’s not made by Rode but there is a charging case for the Rode Wireless GO II

I’ve been doing a lot of research on little wireless microphones recently. Since Rode released the initial Rode Wireless GO (review here), there have been a whole plethora of similar microphones hit the market like the Hollyland Lark 150, Godox Movelink M2 (review here), Gudsen Mirfak WE10 Pro and plenty of others besides. Rode’s even gotten back into the game with the Wireless GO II.

One advantage that some of the competitors have over the Wireless GO II, though, is that they come with a case that charges the units so you don’t have to deal with cables. Rode hasn’t (yet) created such a case but while researching, we discovered a charging case for the Wireless GO II made by ZGCine that’s had some very good reviews.
