Cycling with a strong breeze in Holland today. And another RØDE wireless sound test in Video Review #9 today with details below.

Video Review #9

Video Review #9 filmed in ProRes HDR on iPhone 16 Pro testing again the RØDE Wireless GO II Dual Mic System for stereo sound, now, however, with both transmitters mounted only 12 cm (4.7 inch) apart (more tomorrow on this in Review #10), and using only the default little furry RØDE windscreen.

RØDE Receiver (RX) internal settings at Split mode, with Gain level high (howver, the gain settings on the Wireless GO II RX do not impact the output from the RX via USB to iPhone).

So windscreen protection, was different now from the previous method I used with a second windscreen layer, by packing the entire transmitter in a furry windscreen bag. Even though we had a strong south breeze (SSW, up to 6 Beaufort), with the wind coming from behind in this clip.

Audio processed in Final Cut Pro with audio Gain +24 dB; Equalization default mode ‘Bass Reduce’; and, Pan Mode ‘Create Space’ (50%).

Video Review #4 ProRes HDR from iPhone 16 Pro & Wireless Stereo • 20241116


Short film of highland cattle , on a pretty windy grey day, today in the Green Heart of Holland.

Focusing on ProRes HDR recording on iPhone 16 Pro , and also a first test recording wireless externally stereo audio using the Røde wireless GO II system.

I previously researched stereo recording with the Røde wireless ME system, with no success (not published).

Video shot in HDR-HLG 4K 25p Apple ProRes HQ format with main camera at 2x setting of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and stored internally.
Edited with Final Cut Pro (FCP) 10.8.1 in a ProRes HQ – 4K 25p HDR project (Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 HLG). No color grading. Some of the clips cropped.
Audio externally recorded with Røde wireless GO II, using 2 layers of furry windscreen. Overall gain +24 dB in FCP, and next lower frequencies reduced. Upload (HEVC) 4K at YouTube, HD at Vimeo.

I also examined again the landscape today, that I filmed 2 days ago (also a grey day) in HDR-HLG , especially the colors of the grass, and concluded that the iPhone’s ProRes HDR (wide gamut HLG) footage best represents the actual colors , both when processed in HDR and in SDR color space — as compared with the Apple Log footage as processed in SDR color space, and uploaded yesterday.
