Rode Interview GO is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 8,300, and every unit is brand new and sealed. The Rode Interview GO is a handheld adapter that holds a Rode wireless transmitter, such as the Wireless GO Gen 3, Wireless PRO or Wireless ME, so it can be used like a reporter's microphone. A removable high-density windshield cuts wind noise and popping sounds outdoors. The transmitter itself is not included, so this is an add-on for people who already own, or are buying, a Rode wireless kit. Collect the Rode Interview GO from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, with a 6-month warranty.
Designed for journalists, NGO field staff, church media teams, event hosts and content creators across Kenya, the Rode Interview GO solves a simple problem. A clip-on transmitter works well on a lapel, but passing it between people in a vox pop or market survey is awkward. Slot the transmitter into the Rode Interview GO and you hold a proper handle you can point at each speaker in turn. On a windy street in Kisumu or a noisy Gikomba walkabout, the windshield helps keep voices clear, and your viewers see a familiar news-style microphone.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops stock Rode wireless kits but not the small parts that make them useful, Mascom International keeps the Rode Interview GO next to the transmitters it fits. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the handle changes how interviewees react: people speak more naturally to a microphone they recognise than to a tiny box. Bring your Rode transmitter to our Kimathi Street shop and we will fit it into the Rode Interview GO before you pay. You can also order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the Rode Interview GO
How much is the Rode Interview GO in Kenya?
The Rode Interview GO costs KSh 8,300, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price buys the handle, the removable high-density windshield and the cold shoe clip attachment. It does not include a wireless transmitter, which you need for it to work. Paired with the Rode Wireless ME at KSh 20,000, the total comes to KSh 28,300. A 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties come with every order.
Which Rode transmitters fit the Rode Interview GO?
The Rode Interview GO fits Rode's Wireless GO Gen 3, Wireless PRO, Wireless ME and Wireless GO II transmitters, according to Rode. Each slides in through the cold shoe clip attachment, and the transmitter's built-in microphone faces the speaker through the windshield. At Mascom International, the Wireless GO Gen 3 sells for KSh 31,000 and the Wireless PRO for KSh 43,000. Add the Rode Interview GO and the totals become KSh 39,300 and KSh 51,300. Other brands' transmitters are not supported.
Should I buy the Rode Interview GO or a full wireless handheld microphone?
Buy the Rode Interview GO if you already own a Rode wireless kit, because it reuses the transmitter you have. A full wireless handheld microphone, such as Rode's Interview PRO, has its own transmitter built into the body, so there is no swapping between lapel and handle. That costs far more and adds another device to charge. Reporters who switch between lapel and handheld use in one day get more value from the Rode Interview GO; crews that only ever shoot handheld may prefer a dedicated unit.
Does the Rode Interview GO work with the Rode Wireless ME?
Yes, the Rode Interview GO works with the Rode Wireless ME transmitter, which makes it a low-cost route to handheld interviews. The Wireless ME at KSh 20,000 plus the Rode Interview GO at KSh 8,300 gives you a complete handheld setup for KSh 28,300. The Wireless ME receiver also carries its own microphone, so you can capture your questions and the guest's answers at once. That suits phone-based journalists and creators filming in Westlands or CBD streets.
Can the Rode Interview GO handle outdoor interviews in Kenyan conditions?
The Rode Interview GO is built for outdoor use, with a removable high-density windshield that cuts wind noise and the popping sound of P and B words. That helps on breezy shoots in Nakuru, on the Mombasa waterfront or beside traffic on Mombasa Road. The handle adds no electronics, so dust and heat affect only the transmitter inside. After dusty field days, remove the windshield and brush it clean. Charge your transmitter before leaving the office in case of KPLC outages.
Who should buy the Rode Interview GO and who should skip it?
Buy the Rode Interview GO if you own a Rode wireless transmitter and run vox pops, panel events, church services or street interviews. Skip it if you have no Rode transmitter yet, because the handle cannot record on its own. Skip it too if you only film yourself talking to camera at a desk, where the Rode VideoMicro II at KSh 14,500 is the simpler choice. Owners of other wireless brands should look for an adapter made for their own system.
Does the Rode Interview GO need charging or setup?
The Rode Interview GO needs no charging, batteries or setup, because it contains no electronics. Clip the transmitter into the cold shoe attachment, power it on, and your receiver hears it as normal. All settings, pairing and recording levels stay on the transmitter and receiver. That keeps the Rode Interview GO simple for interns and volunteers who may not know audio gear. A quick sound check before going live on Facebook or YouTube over Safaricom data is still good practice.
Is the Rode Interview GO good for journalists and event hosts?
The Rode Interview GO is a sensible tool for Kenyan journalists and event hosts who need a microphone that looks the part on camera. Viewers recognise a handheld microphone as a sign of a real interview, and guests know where to speak. Hosts at Strathmore and USIU student events, county press briefings and product launches can pass it from person to person. Because the transmitter is wireless, there is no cable trailing across the floor for guests to trip on.
Technical Specifications

- Built for to-camera reporting and field interviews — the uses Rode designed the Rode Interview GO around, from vox pops to press briefings.
- Uses the transmitter's own built-in microphone — sound quality comes from the transmitter you already own, not from the handle.
- Contains no electronics, battery or switches — nothing to charge, pair or set up, and nothing inside to fail.
