Bundled together by B&H for your convenience, the Rode Wireless GO 2-Person Kit provides essential wireless tools for recording two subjects to a DSLR/mirrorless camera or a camcorder for run-and-gun film making. Indeed, whether you're gathering news for tonight's broadcast or shooting documentaries to edit later in post, this kit will come in handy.
It includes two bodypack transmitters with built-in microphones, two camera-mount receivers, a Vello mounting bracket, and a Kopul CMCS-1 microphone combiner. Both receivers and the mic combiner can be mounted onto a single camera using the triple-shoe bracket. The two receivers plug into the combiner, which in turn plugs into the 3.5mm audio input of your camera. This allows you to record both mics using the single input of your DSLR, while keeping your rig portable and compact.
Two Rode VXLR 3.5mm to XLR converters are also included to plug the receivers directly into the individual XLR inputs of a camcorder or a pro-level field recorder such as a Zoom Handy recorder, a Tascam, or a Sound Devices unit.
Use the Wireless GO system to transmit and receive crystal-clear audio over distances of up to 230'. The Wireless GO system makes use of Series III 2.4 GHz with 128-bit encryption, ensuring a reliable and secure transmission every time. Plug an external microphone into the transmitter, or use the transmitter itself as a microphone—one is built right into the unit.
All of these goodies in one package spell out one simple fact: if you're making run-and-gun content with a two-person interview, this kit will help you achieve great-sounding results.
Rode VXLR 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter
The Rode VXLR is an adapter that lets you connect a mic equipped with a 3.5mm TRS connector to the XLR input of a professional camera, recorder, or mixing console. The VXLR is terminated by a 3.5mm female TRS connector at one end and an XLR male connector at the other.
Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter
Offering superior sound quality compared to conventional adapter cables, the Kopul CMCS-1 lets you easily capture sound from two 3.5mm microphones into your DSLR camera or camcorder in discreet mono or combined stereo while bypassing the hassle of a dangling adapter cable.
This simple and lightweight solution utilizes a shoe mount for effortless attachment to your shooting rig, and it features dual mono inputs for external microphones and a 3.5mm stereo output, making connectivity uncomplicated. The onboard switch allows the CMCS-1 to transmit a mixed stereo signal or two individual mono signals to any DSLR camera or camcorder with a 3.5mm input.
The compact and featherlight CMCS-1 is ideal for recording dialogue, narration over ambient sound, or stereo soundscapes and is so straightforward to operate, it will improve your audio without any interruptions for your workflow. Since the CMCS-1 is passive, it requires no batteries or special source of power.

Vello V-Rig 4.1" Triple Shoe Bracket
The Vello V-Rig 4.1" Triple Shoe Bracket mounts onto a camera's accessory shoe in order to provide three additional accessory shoes for mounting lights, monitors, microphones, or other accessories. In addition to the shoe mount, a 1/4"-20 thread is also available for attaching the bracket to a tripod, rig, or other bracket featuring a 1/4"-20-threaded mount.
The bracket is constructed from rigid, yet lightweight single-piece aluminum alloy, and the mounting shoes are machined out of the same piece as the bracket, for additional strength. The accessory shoes also feature backstops for greater security when attaching accessories. The bottom shoe that attaches to the camera features a locking pin, which keeps the shoe in place and prevents the shoe from rotating during use.
