RØDE Wireless GO II (Wireless Transmitter and Recorder)

I’ve heard good things about the RODE Wireless GO II. It’s a wireless transmitter AND recorder in one. And it doesn’t require any cables like a clip-on lavalier microphone does. You clip it on to your clothing as close to your mouth as you can manage and it will pick up your voice well. It can record on the device itself in addition to sending the audio wirelessly to the receiver which you then record in your computer, camera, etc.

Someone recently asked me to recommend a good wireless setup for someone making videos doing stretching and exercises. Basically there are 3 options here:

1. Wear the RØDE Wireless GO II or similar.
2. Wear a wireless transmitter (around same size as the GO) along with connected lavalier microphone clipped to the collar.
3. Wear some kind of headset with microphone that has a transmitter built into it. (Does that even exist?? — but wait — AIRPODS! FYI, the audio quality of AirPods is horrendous; I don’t recommend using or capturing AirPods audio anytime anywhere.)
