We have not tested it ourselves: strengths and weaknesses below come from the tests cited.
RØDE says the 32-bit float on-board recording lets a recording that was too loud or too quiet be recovered afterwards. Each transmitter records internally, with 32GB of memory per transmitter that RØDE rates at over 40 hours, so a recording exists even if the radio link drops. Digital Camera World stresses exactly that point: audio can drop out outdoors when the speaker turns away from the receiver. The transmitters have built-in omnidirectional microphones, and two Lavalier II microphones are supplied for a person being filmed. The reviewer found the bare transmitter microphones sounded slightly nicer than the lavaliers.
The receiver connects to a camera through its 3.5mm output, or to a phone or computer by USB-C. Digital Camera World describes a sprung clip on the receiver that is hotshoe-width, so it clips straight onto a camera. RØDE lists up to 7 hours of use per charge and a range of up to 260m in line of sight, using 2.4 GHz digital transmission with 128-bit encryption. The charge case charges the transmitters and receiver, and Digital Camera World found it holds enough power to recharge the three units twice. RØDE adds that the case allows fast data transfer. The kit includes three furry windshields for outdoor use, and the reviewer tested them in a light breeze and still advises monitoring the audio for buffeting. Timecode lets audio and video be synchronised without a separate timecode system, and the safety channel adds a backup recording. Many options need the RØDE Central app.
Expert pick · Digital Camera World: Digital Camera World's reviewer tested the kit outdoors in a light breeze and found the audio excellent, with the furry windshields working well. The verdict calls it hard to fault and complete, with the caveats that it needs line of sight at range and that cheaper alternatives exist. Read the review

Filmmakers and content creators who want a complete two-person wireless kit with backup recording and timecode. Buyers who want the simplest possible setup may prefer a smaller system.
The RØDE Wireless GO (Gen 3), already in this catalogue, shares the 260m range and 32-bit float recording; RØDE's box listing shows a carry pouch rather than a charge case or lavalier microphones, and its page does not list timecode. The RØDE Wireless ME has a microphone built into its receiver and a stated range of over 100m, and the RØDE Wireless Micro is a smartphone-first system with 24-bit audio and over 100m.
