    DJI is aware of some of the issues and is working on a firmware update. I’m hoping it fixes some of these issues because I’m loving all the other features on it. The fact that I can lock the transmitter while it’s recording so it can’t be accidentally turned off by a bride/groom/officiant is insanely useful.

    I bought it two days ago july 2024. It is very good. Of course i set OFF the low cut filter and the NC. If i need to work the sound i always do it on a more powerful computer anyway with EQ/compressor/AI voice isolation. But right of the box, the sounds is good with No NC and no LCF and the mic on my shirt. The sound wireless is very good, i haven’t check the 32 bits file yet but i am sure it is very good. I don’t have wind noise, or room noise. I checked with my hd599 sennheiser high end headphone. So it is quality mic.

    I LIKE that you did an honest review. But, Mate, In case you didn’t do any post processing for your audio, Then I think your mic isn’t healthy one. I heard some other reviews, and most of them sounded better. The audio from your mic has an issue. Did you compare it to Mic 1 ? Sorry 😅

    I'm not sure what you mean by "Listen to the Audio Quality", among all the Wireless Mic at this price range, the DJI sounded the worst. It's not even a subjective thing about sound quality, it just sounded lower quality than others at the similar price range. The mic while never marketed as match, they are not consistent, one sounded darker and another can sound brighter. What's worst is that, these DJI mic are way too bright and thin which is less suitable for spoken words application which is what this mic is used for. I like everything about this mic except the sound quality. Rode wireless go sounded the best but I don't like the form factor and their case seemed "forced" but if I had to choose. I'll go with the wireless go in a heartbeat. Did I mentioned that these DJI Mics are not shielded? Or poorly shielded? They are not a mic company so I understand that, but these are basic.

    It seems there may be a real issue with the DJI Mic as Curtis Judd held off on his full review because there actually is a real issue with the sound quality to the point where DJI confirmed they plan to fix in a software update. That aside, the one thing that bugs me about this mic is it's compatibility with other lav mics.

    Apparently the rode is not as good wirelessly than with the internal files and seems to have inferior transmission stability compared to dji mic 2. I just bought the dji mic 2 and it is very good quality. I listen the wireless footage with my high end Sennheiser hd599 and it is very good. No room noise. I tested outside and same result with the mic attached to my shirt. The charger box is top quality. The receiver is so small on my a7c. It is perfect for my gimbal. I love it. I haven’t tested yet the 32 bits file. But i am certain it will good as well. Apparently from other testers, the dji sounds identical wirelessly with the receiver AND with the files. This was important to me as if the transmission is stable if needed didn’t want to always have to retrieve the file and doing post sync. From what i hear of my initial test, the dji mic 2 is the good choice. Very good screen and convivial. You can control everything without software. I didn’t installed a software, i didn’t even install a dji app. It’s simply works and you can control everything from the screen. The Noise cancelling works but i prefer do that on Davinci Resolve AI tool. You cannot change some settings from the rode. You need to connect a phone to a rode to change the low cut filter, this is ridiculous. And the rode wireless sound sent to the camera is degraded obviously compared to the internal sounds store in the transmitter. That’s why i took the dji mic 2. It was less expensive also without the lavallier i don’t need them. The two tx mic are perfect with the windscreen that perfectly and easily attached to the 3.5 connector. I can also buy the sony adapter to get digital sound without any wire. The dji mic 2 is superior to the Rode wireless pro to me on most specs.
