I used DJI Mic yesterday, just grabbed the little mic part and used that w/o the receiver or anything this is how I'm gonna do it from now on. I love it.
I'm curious how the volume control works then. As we know, you can adjust the sensitivity of each Transmitter from the Receiver menu. But what happens when you don't use the Receiver and just record as you did? Also, side question, I'm assuming the track that you download from the Transmitter memory is mono, right? You can't benefit from the safety feature when using just the Transmitter.
Story of my life right now: recently buys new equipment (aka Rode Wireless Go 2) just to find out there are other cooler and newer options just released (aka DJI everything) HAHA. For real though, love watching your comparison videos! Always appreciate the insight! 💯✔️🔥
This right here is the painful truth. I just picked up the Rode Wireless Go II a month ago 😂 The only DJI offering that wasn’t awesome, was what they did to my Osmo Action in the 2 model. That one was an easy pass haha
This is the name of the game. 🙂 I finally got lucky this time around. I was dragging my feet on the Rode wireless go2 and learned about the DJI mic last week. I will now be waiting to get it when it comes out.
@@HabanosChris I find out about the DJI mic after I brought the Rode Wireless Go II, also I noticed the receiver of the DJI wireless mic can be attached to the shoehorn on the camera, which the Rode Wireless Go II receiver cannot be attached to any camera shoehorn. I have to attached to the stripe on the camera.
Are you going to get the DJI MIC? Make sure you check out my new FCP EDITING COURSE: geni.us/dkNlQnp Also I made a complete beginners guide for the DJI MIC. Check it here: th-cam.com/video/cgYHsOQXjyk/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely, I need a secondary mic to record screen captured tutorials and also lots of notes. This device could be a single solution for both. The fact that it does not need proprietary software is huge. Please tell me if the transmitter can be used as a USB microphone in addition to acting like an SD card, cause if it can, it can be a one stop solution for most audio.
I'VE BEEN WAITING TEN YEARS FOR THIS!!! I've had entire films ruined by janky, complicated audio set ups involve 3 different people. No more. Thank God.
Great review, Jeven. I wasn’t expecting to watch the entire 12 minute review without skipping forward, but you kept it moving at a solid pace, giving enough time between technical explanations and descriptions to demo the quality of the wireless mic system. Also, pleasant visuals :D First video of yours I have seen, based on the quality, subscribed. And moving the DJI mic to top position as I research which system to get.
Damn! The features are second to none. This seem like a must-have for anyone and everyone who’s a travel vlogger, etc. I love when a company puts a lot of thought into the user’s experience and needs. FANTASTIC work on this video. Thanks, Jeven.
Nice review Jevon, thank you! I’ve been considering this kit and this video sealed the deal! For me, one big advantage is having the units show up as a hard drive. I don’t like it when companies take an approach to proprietize something that doesn’t need to be and making a simple task into a much more difficult workflow.
Hey Mark, were you going to get this for Gopro by any chance. if so I might do the same. Not sure if DJI microphone is better for Gopro than Rode as reviewed by Jeven.
I don’t really need wireless mics but i want this because its so damn cool! Occasionally something comes along and simplifies everything and this is one of those things.
I always feel the same when deciding to purchase something. that ease of use can add to your production efficiency and quality. its always worth it then.
I literally just purchased a Rode wireless go 2 yesterday. Now I am seeing this! I really like the charging case and the magnetic clip on the DJI!. I made the purchase, because the salesman said I could use the mic without extra cables, that it was Bluetooth accessible 🤬 when I got home, I still needed to purchase the USB-C cord for my phone, and a more sturdy case
Mate this is a game changer! I was going to get the RODE but this looks so much better and more practical. Signing up for the course as well. Huge thanks!
Well I was seriously going to buy the Rode this week but now I think I’m sold on this. Thanks for giving me to your debate as this just seems so much easier to just plug in and go.
So, how do you like the Go II? I have the first Go. I’m looking to get a new GoPro and I’ve seen people connect the GoPro with the Go II. Call it, “GoPro Cubed” set up was my idea, but then I saw this video. Any thoughts on your experience with the new Go II would be great to hear.
Very cool vídeo!!! DJI features are plenty. It is a very clever solution, much more than the Rode. But I feel more sound quality in the Rode. Thanks for the video!!!
Great review Jevon. I wasn’t even thinking I needed another system, but your review persuaded me to buy this. I’ve got a job coming up and this looks so much easier than the lavalier set up I currently use. Thank you so much and keep your great, well produced videos coming 😎🎥
Love the video. Agree with your reasoning overall. One thing I'd like to see from DJI to make this product even better would be a handheld attachment like the Rode Interview mic kit for the GO II. Its a minor thing, but I really love how the GO II is so easy to swap between handheld and lavalier. For company streams of live events, the longer battery life on the Go II and the option to do a quick swap to a handheld at a moments notice is a huge value for me. Overall, I love the direction DJI is doing here and I am exciting for them to disrupt the production gear space.
This right here is my only worry. For vox-pops eg, people feel more willing when they see an actual looooong interview mic 🎤 pointing at them. Traditional interview style hits the right nerves. On a second thought, the primary goal is clean audio, isn't it? The transmitters will still do a great job when clipped on the interviewee. Probably that's the part of the DISRUPTION we're not ready for..
Thanks for making this comparison! I have the rode go gen 1 and was thinking about uploading to the 2, but after seeing this review I’m definitely going with the DJI. I shoot in areas similar to this while biking/hiking and the backup recorder is too good to pass up. Thanks again Jeven!!
Avoiding Rodes proprietary software to extract the audio alone is a HUGE win for this system! I personally prefer tactile buttons and/or dials with some rotary stops on it, but maybe the touch screen will work out too. As someone who prefers to wear gloves as much as possible, touch really throws me off my game, but, maybe it’s worth it if all else is as good as it seems~ Thanks for the great vid!
Yup for gloves the buttons of the rode are needed. It really depends on how you film. However the features of the DJI are overall better. I’ll keep my rodes for when it doesn’t make sense to use the touch screen
Really enjoyed this video. I’ve been considering a RODE wireless mic solution and now you’ve shown another option that definitely improves the overall experience. Thank you.
This video actually has super outdated information. The Rode system is vastly superior to the DJI system, especially since the new firmware updates, and charging case were released. I use the Rode system, and bought a Countryman B6 lav’ mic (which are tiny), and export the 32Bit Float files from the raw audio that the Rode actually records in, and I have vastly superior audio quality with infinite digital gain - which the DJI system just doesn’t have.
Fantastic review! Been looking at options for our channel with regards to audio, as I’m currently using a Tascam system that I then need to sync in post and there’s the occasional frame drop and sync “drift”. I was already leaning towards the Dji, and you just sold me on it! Thanks a ton, and keep up the great work!
It would be nice if you shared the advantages to the Rode as well, so it feels less like a paid ad and more like a fair and balanced review. I get that isn't the purpose of this video, and it's still well done.
what are the advantages of the Rode. I checked plenty of rode tests but couldn't find any advantages honestly. DJI did a great job. Take my money pls combine this with a Sensheiser and you good to go.
@@eco_logic I mean, it's actually available. That's the biggest advantage of the Rode! I've been waiting for a month now seeing these reviews but the ship date for the DJI Mic keeps shipping. It's supposed to have a March release date and as far as I can tell the only people who've used them are people DJI sent preview devices to.
DJI should pay you because you did a masterful job highlighting the features of this product. I was about to buy the Rode version but then this video popped after I watched another video about theirs and you just killed it! You slaughtered it!
Nice video, another TH-camr noticed that plugging certain lavalier micros (like rode lavalier Go) with DJI mic for simply recording sound provokes some rf interference. Did you try it ?
dang you Jeven, i'm trying to save money over here, and while i was on the fence with buying the dji mic, you just pushed me over the edge! 😅 (bought with your affiliate link, gotta support your hard work! keep it up 💪)
Appreciate it! This mic does work super well. I've been using it on all my videos recently and with a little EQ tweak it sounds great. BTW you're Deebot N8+ video helped me find the perfect xmas gift for my wife. Self cleaning and mapping are awesome. Keep crushing it with your videos because they're super helpful. 😀
I think you helped make my decision on which system to get. For me, it's the DJI, especially considering the DJI comes with its own charging case, has touch screen simplicity. Clearly a winner.
Everything about this video was epic. It was tranquil, meditative, informational, descriptive and your tone of voice and presentation is perfection! Thanks for sharing Jeven! I'm only sad that I'm just seeing this video now but definitely not too late to pick up this new DJI MIC system! Thanks for always sharing your passion with us Bro!
Looks super versatile and I love it, definitely i would consider with what i'm working on right now. however biggest issue i hear out of the gate is the pre-amps. for professional sound its not acceptable, the compression is super high and sounds really thin. functionality: Thumbs up. Sound Quality: cheap. still going to stick with my clunky Sennheiser lavs. plus most filmmakers are not professional sound engineers. it would be great if Rode/DJI could pack a good pre-amp into it or a better mic. or both. still exciting to see where we are heading with sound tech though, im sure they will solve this soon enough.
Bro this is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watch that made me want to buy something special like this microphone you explain things so well I enjoy you as a person and your videos man
I've also heard about interference problems with the Rode Go 2. I'm currently having big problems with my Rode Go 1 (and that's why I'm interested on all kinds of videos and data on both so that I can upgrade). But it seams both have interference problems and half of those are actually because of the poor camera shielding. So maybe other cameras give other results. You can actually listen carefully after 7:50 in this video, when there is silence. There is a bit of interference. You can mitigate it by mounting the Receiver further away from the input jack of the camera (if you have a cage).
I wonder about latency though. Jeven, your outside/nature shots are just dang dreamy! And beautifully framed and angled. A train coming out of the fog!? Takes breath away! 💛🙏🏼
Mate thank you so much for explaining this so even I can understand how to use this mic. I cancelled the order then reordered after watching your video twice !! ❤
That's an impressive bit of kit considering it is v.1.0! I'd love to know if the usb-c connector will allow you to connect directly to a go pro 9/10 without the need for a media mod ... or is that too much to wish for?
Thank You so Much , I'm Gonna Order it Now ( Obviously from Your Link) , Your Videos Was Very Informative and Visual in The ame Time with You Being Far Distance from Your Camera and That's Exactly what I Was Looking for . I Appreciate this Video ...Keep it Up
I don’t have the Rode Wireless system to compare this to, but this new mic from DJI would fill all my needs. This thing is packed with features, hardware and software. Great review Jeven, your my goto reviewer on the type of product.
This looks like an excellent alternative to the Røde. However, there's one feature I noticed it doesn't have...something many (ie. most) others have - background noise reduction/cancellation.
great video. This will be my next purchase. I am just starting back creating videos and have received so much helpful info from your videos over the years. Thanks!
Hi Jeven, great content as usual mate. Always find myself looking for your vids when I'm researching new tech. Not sure if I missed it or not but can this be used with GoPro 10 and recorded straight to your video, or do you have to sync audio with video when editing? Thanks in advance if anybody can help.. Cheers
Great review, and the mic sounds excellent. What I'd like to have seen is how both mics work together. With a couple of the the two-mic systems I've seen (especially the Comica, for example), the quality of the signal drops substantially when you're using both transmitters. Also, are you able to choose channels with these transmitters, or did I miss that somehow in this video?
This looks great! I’ve been mostly happy with my Rode Go 2 but the DJI Mic addresses all of my major complaints. Slightly difficult controls, terrible proprietary software, connection issues, and having to find three separate chargers when batteries are low have all been issues with my Rode set.
I notice that at 4:25 (ish), the list of .wav files has March 2098 as the timestamp. I've always been really annoyed at devices that don't properly timestamp audio or video files, which can make it hard to correlate assets together in your NLE. Is that the case here, does anyone know?
I was LITERALLY noticing the same thing since I get so frustrated clicking through zoom h1 settings quickly after formatting a card and then getting stamps from 1980
Hey Jeven great video. I'm in absolute LOVE with my RODE Wireless Go II for interview set ups and doc work, but always open to new tech...So its like the hollyland with their own charging case...better for vlogging, backup audio... no doubt its got some seriously cool and improved features. Does it come with the dead kitten too!? TAKE MY MONEY lol
Thanks for the vid! Wish I knew about this before getting the Rode. As an audio pro, clipping is unacceptable and I found their no gain control on the tx to be a really bad choice. Everything else about it is great, especially the hiding and mounting options, but this seems superior in all ways.
As a pro, you should know that the Rode system was ACTUALLY designed by audio professionals, not a Chinese company that is focused on drones. The Rode system actually records in it’s own native RAW audio format, and allows you to export 32Bit float files, which have infinite digital gain - fully eliminating the possibility of clipping. Pair it with the Countryman B6 like I did, and your audio quality will vastly outperform anything that comes from DJI.
@@ardentvibe6917 i dont think wireless go ii has the native 32 bit i balieve its upscaled from 25 bit meening it still clips BUT the new wireless go pro has 32 bit, charging case and basicly all the dji feature personaly i went with rode wireless go ii tho cuz i trust an australian audio compeny over a chinese one in terms of quality and longevity 🤪
When is a mic, much more than a mic? ... Thanks! You made me appreciate the value of researching before buying. Amazing to learn how much wireless mic technology has advanced/improved, along with the user experience. Also I did not realize that DJI was also a wireless mic manufacturer.
I'm curious to see if it would be possible to use this mic as a boom mic for over the head recording for interviews. Also, I'm curious to see how much hissing sound this makes. Usually small mics have a high amount of hissing sound and don't do very well on low end. You can correct some of these issues in post but not entirely. Regardless, it looks like a great product from a company that has a reputation for delivering great products.
@@Danefrak I want to do this setup so the mic is not in the shot. I actually bought this mic. It's pretty awesome but the sound quality isn't that great. It's great for run-and-gun type of shooting. Not so much for professional-grade production. I also tried connecting it to a Rode mic to get a better sound but the mic picked up the magnetic field of the battery in the rode mic and there's this buzzing sound. So again it's a great mic for run-and-gun but that's about it. Nevertheless, I love it and it's one of my favorite gadgets.
That's awesome about the connection options. That is what really makes it so much more useful, I'm so use to using special adapter cables to connect to other devices; this option is so much better.
The number one reason that Jeven didn’t talk about is you can set the gain of the DJI system so that it doesn’t clip. My RODE Wireless Go II will clip no matter how I set the gain or pad. It’s the biggest issue with that system and a real shame for an otherwise great system.
Yes you can't change the Gain for the actual receiver itself- just the gain for what the camera gets from the receiver (which clips so easily even at -30dbs). Returning it.
Mate this was soooo useful. I was about to get a Rode because I am going to be doing regular TH-cam shows and some Tik Tok, but using my smart phone as the camera and just needed an easy to use, quality mic, and your video completely makes the case for this mic set up instead. I need easy to use and quality with options (i would like to be adventurous in future), and would occasionally want to use a lavalier or hide the mic. Am signing up for the course, I find your presentaion style easy, clear and very informative, and expert and considered too. I watch a lot of TH-cam explainers on things and just wanted to say thank you and well done for this video
Sir, I love this video. I can’t wait to get one! Not in stores now. Best Buy doesn’t have it. I have returned my Rode. No negative. Never opened it after watching this video! Pretty powerful video Sir! Thanks.
I don't have much of an idea when it come to tech bit I still found your video easy to follow, informative and very helpful plus the location was beautiful, especially the beach. Thank you for sharing 🙂🙏
I have the Wireless Go 2. Had some problems and got a new set after sending them for repair. The service is great, that's worth something. You can always get it repaired, even outside of the warranty. Don't know how DJI does this, but it's worth considering.
Great video and review...you've convinced me to go with the DJI instead of Go ii...BUT the whole time I'm watching your video, I'm thinking, "Where the hell is Jeven? LOL This setting is amaaaazing!!!" LOL Great job!
Great video! This video, which I watched mid december 2022, gave me info enough to order the mic system. Thank you for good content. I am now a subscriber. Happy New Year!
I ended up just buying the Rode Wireless Go II since the DJI kit was still months out when I was looking to purchase the wireless set. I found a nice charging case on Amazon that lets me charge all 3 from a backup battery which alleviated one of my biggest concerns with the Rode Wireless Go II. As of writing this comment most sites are showing the DJI set still back ordered until March 2022.
I went with the Rode II before watching this. I just didn’t know. I’m a newbie. May step up to something more professional in the future but it works good for what I need for now. Great review.
I used DJI Mic yesterday, just grabbed the little mic part and used that w/o the receiver or anything this is how I'm gonna do it from now on. I love it.
Working on VO for a new video today and I’m just using the transmitter. So simple.

You’ve been able to do that with the rode for months ...
u need to align sound to video in post riight? if u do this way

Sound Quality: cheap. still going to stick with my clunky Sennheiser lavs. plus most filmmakers are not professional sound engineers. it would be great if Rode/DJI could pack a good pre-amp into it or a better mic. or both. still exciting to see where we are heading with sound tech though, im sure they will solve this soon enough.
Bro this is one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watch that made me want to buy something special like this microphone you explain things so well I enjoy you as a person and your videos man
I'm halfway sold with the easy exporting but I know people have been having issues with interference on this DJI Mic
I've also heard about interference problems with the Rode Go 2. I'm currently having big problems with my Rode Go 1 (and that's why I'm interested on all kinds of videos and data on both so that I can upgrade).
But it seams both have interference problems and half of those are actually because of the poor camera shielding. So maybe other cameras give other results.
You can actually listen carefully after 7:50 in this video, when there is silence. There is a bit of interference. You can mitigate it by mounting the Receiver further away from the input jack of the camera (if you have a cage).
I wonder about latency though.
Jeven, your outside/nature shots are just dang dreamy! And beautifully framed and angled. A train coming out of the fog!? Takes breath away! 💛🙏🏼
Agreed. I thought it was fake at first.
why nobody talk about sound? it is the most important thing
Mate thank you so much for explaining this so even I can understand how to use this mic. I cancelled the order then reordered after watching your video twice !! ❤
That's an impressive bit of kit considering it is v.1.0! I'd love to know if the usb-c connector will allow you to connect directly to a go pro 9/10 without the need for a media mod ... or is that too much to wish for?
Thank You so Much , I'm Gonna Order it Now ( Obviously from Your Link) , Your Videos Was Very Informative and Visual in The ame Time with You Being Far Distance from Your Camera and That's Exactly what I Was Looking for . I Appreciate this Video ...Keep it Up
I don’t have the Rode Wireless system to compare this to, but this new mic from DJI would fill all my needs. This thing is packed with features, hardware and software. Great review Jeven, your my goto reviewer on the type of product.
Wow you blew my mind with this amazing review, so complete! Thanks God I found this before buying
This looks like an excellent alternative to the Røde. However, there's one feature I noticed it doesn't have...something many (ie. most) others have - background noise reduction/cancellation.
I guess you can do that in post production easily.
great video. This will be my next purchase. I am just starting back creating videos and have received so much helpful info from your videos over the years. Thanks!
Hi Jeven, great content as usual mate. Always find myself looking for your vids when I'm researching new tech.
Not sure if I missed it or not but can this be used with GoPro 10 and recorded straight to your video, or do you have to sync audio with video when editing?
Thanks in advance if anybody can help.. Cheers
buddy, thats the coolest tech review video I have ever seen, your cam, your shots, the voice the edit, its soo clean! 500 likes!
Great review, and the mic sounds excellent. What I'd like to have seen is how both mics work together. With a couple of the the two-mic systems I've seen (especially the Comica, for example), the quality of the signal drops substantially when you're using both transmitters. Also, are you able to choose channels with these transmitters, or did I miss that somehow in this video?
top tier video man, I dont know why more people arent talking about this mic system, it looks so good! im sold on it.
This looks great! I’ve been mostly happy with my Rode Go 2 but the DJI Mic addresses all of my major complaints. Slightly difficult controls, terrible proprietary software, connection issues, and having to find three separate chargers when batteries are low have all been issues with my Rode set.
Forget the mics… the video itself is GORGEOUS!
I notice that at 4:25 (ish), the list of .wav files has March 2098 as the timestamp. I've always been really annoyed at devices that don't properly timestamp audio or video files, which can make it hard to correlate assets together in your NLE. Is that the case here, does anyone know?
I was LITERALLY noticing the same thing since I get so frustrated clicking through zoom h1 settings quickly after formatting a card and then getting stamps from 1980
That train shot was beautiful.
Hey Jeven great video. I'm in absolute LOVE with my RODE Wireless Go II for interview set ups and doc work, but always open to new tech...So its like the hollyland with their own charging case...better for vlogging, backup audio... no doubt its got some seriously cool and improved features. Does it come with the dead kitten too!? TAKE MY MONEY lol
Wow!!! That DJI Mic looking really handy. Very impressive audio quality as well!
Thanks for the vid! Wish I knew about this before getting the Rode. As an audio pro, clipping is unacceptable and I found their no gain control on the tx to be a really bad choice. Everything else about it is great, especially the hiding and mounting options, but this seems superior in all ways.
As a pro, you should know that the Rode system was ACTUALLY designed by audio professionals, not a Chinese company that is focused on drones.
The Rode system actually records in it’s own native RAW audio format, and allows you to export 32Bit float files, which have infinite digital gain - fully eliminating the possibility of clipping.
Pair it with the Countryman B6 like I did, and your audio quality will vastly outperform anything that comes from DJI.
@@ardentvibe6917 i dont think wireless go ii has the native 32 bit i balieve its upscaled from 25 bit meening it still clips BUT the new wireless go pro has 32 bit, charging case and basicly all the dji feature
personaly i went with rode wireless go ii tho cuz i trust an australian audio compeny over a chinese one in terms of quality and longevity 🤪
When is a mic, much more than a mic? ... Thanks! You made me appreciate the value of researching before buying. Amazing to learn how much wireless mic technology has advanced/improved, along with the user experience. Also I did not realize that DJI was also a wireless mic manufacturer.
I'm curious to see if it would be possible to use this mic as a boom mic for over the head recording for interviews. Also, I'm curious to see how much hissing sound this makes. Usually small mics have a high amount of hissing sound and don't do very well on low end. You can correct some of these issues in post but not entirely. Regardless, it looks like a great product from a company that has a reputation for delivering great products.
Just curious but why would you want to push this mic into that position? Won't it be a bit ridiculous of a setup? Sandbags on the stands and all that
@@Danefrak I want to do this setup so the mic is not in the shot. I actually bought this mic. It's pretty awesome but the sound quality isn't that great. It's great for run-and-gun type of shooting. Not so much for professional-grade production. I also tried connecting it to a Rode mic to get a better sound but the mic picked up the magnetic field of the battery in the rode mic and there's this buzzing sound. So again it's a great mic for run-and-gun but that's about it. Nevertheless, I love it and it's one of my favorite gadgets.
Thank you very much. Every info I needed. Makes it perfect for me for vlogging and wedding videos
Reasons 1-10: This is an advertisement and I received their money for this video.
That's awesome about the connection options. That is what really makes it so much more useful, I'm so use to using special adapter cables to connect to other devices; this option is so much better.
90% of the features you mentioned are also in Rode Go2 for half of the price. I actually prefer the smaller size of Rode
that shot with the train and the fog thats amazing i hope you have some stills from there
The number one reason that Jeven didn’t talk about is you can set the gain of the DJI system so that it doesn’t clip. My RODE Wireless Go II will clip no matter how I set the gain or pad. It’s the biggest issue with that system and a real shame for an otherwise great system.
Yes you can't change the Gain for the actual receiver itself- just the gain for what the camera gets from the receiver (which clips so easily even at -30dbs). Returning it.
Mate this was soooo useful. I was about to get a Rode because I am going to be doing regular TH-cam shows and some Tik Tok, but using my smart phone as the camera and just needed an easy to use, quality mic, and your video completely makes the case for this mic set up instead. I need easy to use and quality with options (i would like to be adventurous in future), and would occasionally want to use a lavalier or hide the mic.
Am signing up for the course, I find your presentaion style easy, clear and very informative, and expert and considered too.
I watch a lot of TH-cam explainers on things and just wanted to say thank you and well done for this video
Thank you for the review. As someone preparing to create content this was so helpful in deciding which tech will be the easiest to use and best tech.
I am definitely going to use your fcp course thank you!! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Dude, those shots in the video. Awesome. That extra effort pays! 👌
Thank you so very much for your observations and suggestions👍
DJI products are soaring high...this videos made me decide to buy this one. Thank you so much for sharing this👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽new subscriber here Jeven😁
Sir, I love this video. I can’t wait to get one! Not in stores now. Best Buy doesn’t have it. I have returned my Rode. No negative. Never opened it after watching this video! Pretty powerful video Sir! Thanks.
I love that it also capture the ambient sound
Wow the sound is awesome. Even for sound effects like the train passing by.
Superb and so helpful ....
I don't have much of an idea when it come to tech bit I still found your video easy to follow, informative and very helpful plus the location was beautiful, especially the beach. Thank you for sharing 🙂🙏
Thank you for all that hard work. You did a wonderful job demonstrating the DJI wireless. Liked, subscribed, hit the notification bell.
I have the Wireless Go 2. Had some problems and got a new set after sending them for repair. The service is great, that's worth something. You can always get it repaired, even outside of the warranty. Don't know how DJI does this, but it's worth considering.
Great video and review...you've convinced me to go with the DJI instead of Go ii...BUT the whole time I'm watching your video, I'm thinking, "Where the hell is Jeven? LOL This setting is amaaaazing!!!" LOL Great job!
I wanted the DJI mic but had it on pre-order for ages. Saw the Rhode Wireless Go II on sale, grabbed that one. No regrets!
Nice review, thanks for sharing :) I think I'm going with the DJI!
Thank you. I like the idea that you can use the transmitter as a stand alone voice recorder. Being that it has the internal storage.
Great video! This video, which I watched mid december 2022, gave me info enough to order the mic system. Thank you for good content. I am now a subscriber. Happy New Year!
Glad I could help!
8:53 Such a beautiful shot
I ended up just buying the Rode Wireless Go II since the DJI kit was still months out when I was looking to purchase the wireless set. I found a nice charging case on Amazon that lets me charge all 3 from a backup battery which alleviated one of my biggest concerns with the Rode Wireless Go II.
As of writing this comment most sites are showing the DJI set still back ordered until March 2022.
I went with the Rode II before watching this. I just didn’t know. I’m a newbie. May step up to something more professional in the future but it works good for what I need for now. Great review.
Great video. I wish I saw it yesterday!!! Just bought the Rode for my wife for Christmas. Wrapped and under the tree! Ugh.
Incredible review with stunning cinematography 🙌🏼
Fantastic contribution, brother. Appreciate the analysis. I'm definitely making this purchase. xx
