Connecting Rodecaster Pro to a Camera - What Sounds Best?

Very helpful! Appreciate you saving us so much time by testing each of these setups. Just got my RodeCaster Pro delivered last night and setting it all up. Will be going with the cleanest setup and just using my one of the headphone jacks (2, 3, or 4) into my camera and syncing audio in post. Sounds like the best audio is going to be directly from the SD card internal to the RodeCaster Pro. Now I’ve gotta check out your other video to see if I need to purchase another MIC 🎤 or if my existing overhead Rode NT mic is going to get the job done for best quality. Thanks again!! 👍👍👍

can i send audio signal to my samsung note 9 camera or any other adroid app for a phone camera video recording? pls help me

I usually say, Jack, and mini jack 🤣🙈

All my podcast has to work with right now is an iPhone with the Rodecaster, do you think this would basically work the same way?

You would not want to do that . You need a different sound board regular soundboard or something like zoom livetrak l8 is so much better for life in general . Rode has created a great device but it’s only and is only good for what it was created for

I’m from Thailand and we just call the 3.5mm 3.5mm, or AUX port, and 1/4” 1/4”.

Most things are in metrics here but some like clothes sizes can be inches. There are also some odd ones that I can’t remember off the top of my head but yeah… weird system everywhere.

Awesome man! Was trying to figure out what that front port was for. It wasn't even in the manual

I'm a sound engineer in the uk and we call it a quarter inch (or TRS if it has the extra ring on the shaft) and also call the small one 3.5mm. But in the uk we have always used both imperial and metric depending on which makes more sense for the thing you're applying it to. We've never truly had one system here since before the 60's and when you buy a product like a piece of furniture you might receive measurements in inches or cm's/mm's so this doesn't feel weird to us to have these two plugs called by different measurements.

Well done sir. A very informative video . . .

Well done, amazing video!

I've tried the wireless go2 but maybe i'm not setting it up right.... can you explain how? as in is the RX or the TX going to be connected to the rodecaster pro? I'd greatly appreciate it!!!

Super useful! Thank you :)

Can you do this with the phone connection option?

We just call it a quarter inch jack 😂🤷‍♂️

Problem... when connecting the cable from the Rodecaster into the camera, have loud noise on the line. All grounds are connected - cables alone don't produce the hum, once the other end of the cable is connected to any device, the hum is heard. Going into Canon R6. It's like there is a ground loop - anytime the ground is connected the hum is there.

Seriously, thanks!!!!!
I've been struggling with that noise for so long. Started to suspect that my Rødecaster had a defect. That's a huge discovery for me.
You're a life saver man :)

This was extremely helpful thank you

Thank you! It was very helpful!!!!

Great video, but I am now confused. The solution with the Zoom H6 does sound good as well. That makes it hard to decide. The rodecaster creates the typical podcast sound, but I was wondering, if there is a point when people are fed up and prefer a more natural sound. The H6 has also the line in in addition to the xlr. But, on the other hand, it has less functionalities. Anyone an opinion on this?

In Poland we call it: Big Jack and Small Jack :)

I have spent over 7 hours trying to connect Rodecaster to Atem Mini. I bought proper cable and tried connect with speakers out.
I was wondering and swearing why I get a lot of noice and shity signal. Now I know thanks to you.
RTFM silly boy, I will never learn

A great video!! -So helpful. All the best bud.

Inches to millimeters... Your right !! 😆

Recently I heard Jack and Mini Jack....

Get yourself a -45db attenuator cable. I use one to go from my Tascam LINE OUT into a camera MIC IN. Your sound quality will improve.

What the cam link for ?

cool video! btw the way the plosives are killing me...

Hi man I am having big issue with my rodecaster pro please … do you WhatsApp I can call or chat to you about plz

This is how a connected mine and the audio quality is flawlessly smooth. I simply connected the audio feed from the finished quarter inch audio from the front of the rodecaster and sent it through an attenuator into the camera and I still record at the standard rec. volume and the final output comes out perfect.

Great video! 👍🏾
Also, I have a question maybe you can help me out with. What is the exact process to getting the RODECaster Pro’s Companion App??

Hi there, so if i purchased X2 TRS cables and plugged into the L&R output of the rodecaster, what adapter would i need to buy in order to connect these two cables into the camera 3.55mm input

I can hear a buzz, is this because the connection is directly into the camera?

I have the same camera and a 302 sound device that I was going to send sound from the rode caster pro 2

Thank you.

Hey Javier, if you're only capturing your vocal/voice input from the Rodecaster then Option #3 is somewhat superfluous since you're really only going for a mono signal in the first place. No need to be patching from the L/R main outputs of the Rodecaster...just more cables, likely more noise, and the audio won't be any better (which you concluded 🙂)

One thing that did occur to me, however, is that the Rodecaster now becomes a "mix" that can sum everything plugged into the Rodecaster directly to the camera. (Four microphones and your Iphone playing a music bed, for example). I wouldn't want to do all that live because there are too many variables to control, but it certainly would work. (I have the Rodecaster Pro which is how I stumbled on this video) Thanks for this solution!

Thank you Javier. This was very informative and helpful. I’m working on getting my video podcast up and going. I’ve purchased the rodecaster pro 2, rode mic, and a canon m50 mark 2. Hopefully I can follow one of these examples and not have to sync audio to my video. Any thoughts on that?

What if in the scenario there is a XRL connection in the camera and I’ll get a balanced xrl cable to send it to the camera? What do you think?

Btw U solved my issue with the hiss in my studio monitors, I couldn’t get rid of it. Now I know this is the wrong cables I use.

What camera do you suggest works best connected with the rodecaster pro 2. Please help.

Excellent

Nice Job super helpful. I had put my Rodecaster away and just pulled it back out.

perfect .. have the mixcast 4 but its the same principal excellent video and in spain and the uk we call the plugs mini jack ...3,5 milli jack .....and standard single jack or 6,3 milli jack plug hope that helps .. your videos are superb thank you so much ...-.. mark

Something was in your ass that you are talking very quickly do slowly for understanding

In Romania we(i) call'em jack and big jack

@javiermercedes Can we run the single audio feed from rodecaster into multiple cameras for a multi-camera podcast setup? How can that be setup?

Thanks worked perfectly from Headphone Jack 2 to M50 Mic in

The bigger audio jack is called 6.3mm (the same unit of measurement as the 3.5mm jack).
