RØDE Interview GO Handheld Mic Adapter
The RØDE Interview GO is a compact, lightweight adapter designed to transform a RØDE Wireless GO (or compatible Series IV) transmitter into a professional handheld interview microphone. Launched in 2020 as an accessory for mobile content creators, journalists, and vloggers, it adds ergonomic handling and wind protection without compromising the wireless system’s portability. It’s not a standalone mic but a clever mod for the Wireless GO II/GO system, ideal for on-the-go interviews, podcasts, or ENG (electronic news gathering) in noisy environments. Users love its simplicity for quick setups, though some note the omnidirectional capsule picks up more ambient noise than cardioid handhelds like the Shure SM58.

- Strengths: Effortless conversion—pop in the transmitter, add the windshield, and you’re ready for street interviews or passing mics in group settings (e.g., retreats or events). The lightweight build (under 100g total) feels natural for extended use, and the windshield shines outdoors, minimizing wind artifacts for cleaner audio. Redditors praise it for noisy crowds, where the Wireless GO’s reliability beats wired setups. Great value for expanding a lav system without buying a full handheld.
- Potential Drawbacks: Omnidirectional pickup can capture crowd noise (not ideal for super-tight patterns—consider a dedicated cardioid for that); No universal pop filter compatibility due to the shape. Some users wish for a locking mechanism upgrade, but it’s solid for casual pros.
- Perfect add-on if you own a Wireless GO—grab it for vlogging or journalism.
