Are, real spit... Spending real time and really using gear is more valuable than all the popup paid reviews. I appreciate you sir. Subbed!

Lots of tech reviewers post videos after just a few days of use. Those serve a particular purpose, of course, but detailed long-term reviews like this one provide so much more value. Best video I've seen on the DJI Mic, by far.

I've had the unit for 6 months. I can't get my iPhone to to recognize this mic, I think it did at first. Great vid.

I am not professional or anything like that, but tech addict. Over the years I have used for family videos from Sony Alpha /RX100 cameras, Sigma lenses, high 3nd phones and rode microphones. Last year I have sold everything as I was a bit tired carrying all around and people generally being defensive when seeing somebody recording. Till few weeks ago I saw DJI pocket 2 combo in live for 250 euros and DJI mic set with 2TX and charging case next to it for 190 euros ($200). Got them both while I expect mic to come this week to try it out. DJI mic got so I could hear my wife as well in the videos vs single mic from combo. Portability + Quality + Stealth = Win. I hope I didn't made a mistake

Oh Ken; presentation was good too; Your game is strong and only getting better. 22:57

Hey Ken really interesting video, it was great to learn how you get your audio so good, because there are always sounding so good. It’s like you where talking beside me. Currently using Shure mv88 for my iPhone to make videos. But this is next level. I think the 3rd option is the best it popping good sound. Also Ken , would you know by any chance? I used iPhone 13 Pro Max and Dji osmo mobile 6 to shoot for my video . If this would make it too heavy or would I need an extra weight? You may have come across it. Again thanks for the video . Hope all is well

I agree although I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the sound. I've heard this reviewed outdoors and with ambient background the quality is harder to determine but in a studio environment like this a boomed mic run into a quality preamp or even wired xlr lav sounds better. It would be good enough for non critical work. Guess it depends on your standards for audio.

I think the DJI mic sounded a little richer than the Lav mic. I just ordered a refurbished set of these for 235 with some DJI credit. The build quality of the Action 3 battery case is superb. I assume this kit is just as awesome. People say what they want about DJI, but no one can match the quality they kick out at the price point they do. Well done Ken 👌

I own a Zoom H6 and Sennheiser G4's for bigger budget film use. But I wanted something that would save me time, worked well, sounded well, and would satisfy my needs for lower budget or personal use. Decided these over Rode and Saramonic. Don't regret it.

Thank you for this great breakdown of the DJI Wireless Mic. I bought mine about six months ago and finally used it for the first time about two weeks ago. I used it along with a Shure Lavalier mic. I think that alone set me back $65 or so. So I filmed my wife, an attorney, who was giving a seminar to a group of thirty realtors about probate matters and real estate…the receiver was mounted directly to my iPhone 14 Max Pro mounted slightly off to her left side, and we had her iPhone 14 Max Pro also on a tripod slightly off to her right side. The idea was to create a final video of her speaking about the topic with A and B roll footage. I could not have been more impressed with the results, and the sound quality was absolutely FLAWLESS. I was able to do it as a complete beginner, and I highly recommend this mic. One thing to note…if the transmission had failed between the mic and the receiver/iPhone on her left side, no big deal. The reason why is because that transmitter, attached to the lavalier mic on her was recording a copy of the audio directly inside itself, “onboard” as they say. So I finished with a full onboard backup of the session. Amazing product, impressive, robust build quality, and an overall delightful experience using it.

How does Shure Lavalier works with DJI? would you recommmend it?

Love the Rode Go ii's tbh. They're a great backup system to have around or use as redundancy which is their usual use case scenario for me. Nothing in the consumer/producer realm really beats a G4 with a countryman but in case that somehow fails, the Go's are nice to have. For a primary system, I wouldn't trust any 2.4ghz system exclusively, but the DJI sounds like it's pretty nice. Question is, how DJI handles constant updates with its products. Rode has a history at this point in supporting the newer Go system and adding useful features all the time. Also, they're USB-C, so that's also convenient in the field.

That mic adapter you have is pretty slick 👍

Great vid by the way I too love these and have been using them since they came out. I wonder if you could help me with something.... I am going to be running a game show on my channel where I have a host and two teams of 2 people, so 5 people in total on stage. I was planning on use the dji mic on each person so there'd be 5 recordings. I am currently using tshure mvl lav mics with the dji mics I have. Of course I'm going to play around with different settings but based on that info what would you say would be the best settings in regards to mono/stereo or do you think it would be better to just hit record on all transmitters and have them all set to mono? I have a feeling I'm going to run into a lot of problems so any advice from you or anyone reading this would be very helpful. Thanks again for the vid 😎

I found the part about processing the audio in Audition most helpful. I love the DJI mic, but the audio, though adequate, is not the best. I wish I could match (or get closer to) the sound I get from my wired dynamic cardioid mic 🎤 which sounds much better straight out of the box.

Is there a way to turn on/off transmitter recording from the receiver? And, is there a way to lock buttons on transmitter from receiver?

how does this mic do in a vlog in a car with windows down or a convertible car?

My DJI mic was purchased refurbished on eBay and everything is great except the built in mic sound quality. The built in mic on my DJI osmo pocket is better. I will try a lav mic on the pocket when I can.

I'm looking into picking these up one thing i need to know is will they auto sync up if they disconnect. I and a wedding dj and think these would be great for Ceremony mics but alot of times i have to go mic up the couple in separate areas and away from the receiver i just need to know if they will sync back together once in range.

Biggest bummer that the locking lav mics can’t plug into the 3.5mm Jack. And when you get an adapter it causes a ton of noise. I like my Sennheiser ME2 lavs with my G4 way too much to use such a bulky little pack on someone’s shirt.

Yep, I had the same experience. My only complaint is that the receiver hot shoe mount doesn't work well if you use DJIs Extension Rod with a Pocket cam. I did purchase an extra hot shoe, trimmed it a bit to fit at a 90 degree angle so the receiver faces me (3.5mm output connected to the Pocket input). Now that I have a 3D printer...that's on my list of things to build. I see the Mic holder on Etsy with the pistol grip, do you have a version of the original "ABC Wide World of Sports" style of holder?

Sorry for making a request in the comments, but here it is. I bought two DJI MICs, and I have an issue with both kits. The DJI MIC doesn't pick up sound beyond 6 meters, and when the person turns their back, the sound becomes completely noisy. They advertise it with a "250-meter transmission range," but even at 6 meters, all my sounds are inaudible. Do you have a solution? I updated one unit to see if there was any difference, but it's still the same.

I must have got a defective kit - after watching tons of great reviews like this, I pulled the trigger on the DJI mic kit. 1st video I made went amazingly. 2nd video as I began using, every single clip I filmed had EXTREMELY glitchy/peaking signals - even though nothing was peaking visually. Even after turning down both the receiver and transmitter gain, I could not get a take without glitchy vocals to save my life... after filming each section 3 or 4 MORE times to get a usable take (resetting every setting, restarting my phone, etc)... I FINALLY got "passable" takes. What should have taken me 2 hours to film, took almost 8 hours into the early morning... to meet upload schedule. To say I'm disappointed would be a MASSIVE understatement. What a let down...

@alanoakley3242

Жыл бұрын

The DJI Mic receiver is not happy unless it has constant line of sight to the transmitters. Glitching is likely even at relatively short range if your 'talent' turns their back or if someone or something passes between the transmitter and receiver. So it's a great product if you can exercise strict control over the scene but otherwise unreliable. For this reason, I always have the transmitters record onboard safety tracks and I've become so used to the system's shortcomings (and suspicious that any alternative might be more or less the same in less than ideal conditions) that I bought a second kit.
