Good to know, problem is having to buy a Pocket 3 just to get this mic at the moment. Hoping they start selling the DJI Mic 2 soon as a standalone product.
32-bit float is probably the most misunderstood concept in modern audio recording. It has very little to do with audio quality but has everything to do with recording resolution. A bad recording will still sound bad in 16-bit integer or 32-bit float - so that part is not impacted. What 32-bit float recording does allow is a much wider dynamic recording range (quietness to loudness) - this allows a person to basically record without worrying as much about levels. Almost idiot proof. Everything can be fixed in post - which is a game changer, especially in unpredictable environments.
Bro This videos is exactly what I was looking for Congrats for the content I want to use a small gimbal(iPhone ready to go gimbal) and all the smartphone gimbals don’t have the space or payload for the mic as the smartphones are placed close to the gimbal motor. The audio quality is great by the way Thanks
This is great news, eventually when it's released on its own it will make for a great stand alone iPhone mic - and if the audio is that critical to the project just use the inbuilt 32bit Float. I suspect GoPro have blocked it working, 'cos if it did then there would be no need for their media mod cage/case/thing anymore. Someone in DJI land, sat down and made the decision of making the best Drones, the best Vlogging camera, the best Action Camera and now the best Wireless mics... For example, how much of yours and Paul Messner's gear is now from DJI? 🙏🏽
I use kit from DJI, Insta360 & Sony. My Sony mirrorless cameras are still the ones that shoot the best visuals and for my pro work. Hard to compete with full frame mirrorless. But DJI is dominating the lightweight consumer market.
Exactly. The first part of the video actually sounds good. Then, after switching to the DJI mic, not soo much. It is cool and super convenient, but the sound quality kinda sucks 😥
I’d argue that if you can clearly hear what I’m saying then that is good enough. Depends on the usage but I think it’s definitely good enough for vlogs. And you always have the option of enhancing the audio which makes a big difference. I think the fact I used a shotgun mic at the start makes the Lav audio sound much worse by comparison
It's not just you... it definitely sounds muddy, not crispy, not clear. I have the original DJI Mic and it sounds 1000💯better. They need a firmware update this with better sound quality. No matter how innovative a mic is, if its not clear and clean, I won't buy it.
Thank you for this video! I went to Best Buy asking the employees how to buy a transmitter so my DJI Mic 2 could work with my iPhone. I didn't know it could work with just Bluetooth. Thank you so much!
Thanks for testing this combination, I never even thought it could connect with bluetooth to the iphone or other camera. Really good news, I don't like plugging stuff into the phone as it's a pain, but bluetooth audio that's really nice. I'm so glad I bought the creator combo now. I wonder if that's also true of the original pocket 2 wireless mic.
This is interesting because if you have a DJI Neo, you can use the mic to record audio (voiceover) to the iPhone while using the Neo controller app, and it will cancel out the sound of the drone. And you won’t need a wired connect to the mic.
Really handy tip thank you! And if it were me using the mic out in adverse weather i would probably keep the transmitter in my pocket and connect up a lav miv so that the mic has a better chance of surviving the rain. I am off to try to connect it to my insta360! Thanks!
This is awesome, Steve. I've been enjoying your other channel for a long time--nice to see you focusing on tech here. Happy to subscribe. As for the Mic 2, this is amazing. I have the DJI Mic and it's incredible. I'd love to see an audio quality comparison between the iPhone BT Mic 2 setup as shown in this video along with the DJI Mic. I'm actually more interested in the 32 Bit Float. If that's true, when they release the Mic 2 I will definitely be getting one. I also wonder if the Mic 2 will pair to the original Mic transmitter. BTW, as you already know you can just grab 1 of the 2 original DJI Mic transmitters and record audio without anything else needed... then sync up in post. I've used it that way before when my USB-C port was already busy. What you've demonstrated is another great option and I look forward to seeing more testing from you! Thanks mate
Thanks! I don’t reply to as many comments on this channel as don’t have the time. But hopefully the videos are still useful. Think I’m going to have to do a few more tests with this mic!
@@stevestechemporium unfortunately I don't think mirrorless cameras will have the required hardware & codecs to use the Mic2 without a seperate receiver. Hope I'm wrong! Just because they connect to the iPhone for example doesn't mean we are necessarily getting the best quality. I suspect the official receiver will give much better quality for input into other devices. The bluetooth standard eg v5.3 is only one piece of the puzzle. It then needs the required software and hardware to support the codecs.
@@stevestechemporium It was ever so slightly roboticly sounding, but I wouldn't notice if you would have not said it was enhanced with ai, otherwise it's great
does it work with the camera app the phone comes with? I need to use that app because its the only one that lets you zoom between all 3 lenses while filming
The 3 lenses are a gimmick, Everyone says use x1 lens only for max quality, the x2 and x5 are cropped preset. if using BMapp you will see that there is only ONE sensor, and the presets are there as shortcuts etc, but if you use the magnifier, you just dial in amount of zoom wanted, but optical zoom is up to 2 x only after that its digital zoom. Will be getting the Tilta Nucleus II for zoom and focus control, so an expensive and only way of getting a smooth zoom, but focus pull main feature. Wish BM app had apples Cinematic mode featuring depth bokeh feature as that would be awesome, but that is AI based and sort of auto so would render manual settings as over ridden, and the whole point of the BM app is manual exposure controls etc hence the need for ND filters toto virtual F stop light reduction as apple lens is fixed at full open aperture design. So have to use both apps. So if zoom really wanted beyond 2x or more natural wide angle, then FREWELL have the sharpest add on lenses, but my bill is getting as high as the phone itself with all my addons, as I wont be using this phone for phone use, purely as a minimalistic camera rig to compliment my BMPCC cameras and ACE PRO's, and 360 cameras
you kept mentioning filming in not great wether which isn't something I considered as much but then your accent reminded me that wet wether is probably a constant issue for you. anyway I picked up the MIMO 6 last year and it has been great for stabilizing my phone shots. the pocket 3 wasn't available then but since I picked up the mic today I'm more confident in my mobile set up and I can switch over to my pro set up with the same mic! I also mostly film indoors for DJ's and I realized I can get RCA to 3.5mm cable and capture the decks with this mic for either my phone or pro camera. As someone who loves and produces UK style electronic music I want to say good video burv, and sending love from the sates!
I think the new update to the BM app fixed it, I tried it when I first got it and it thought it was a headset/speaker. Thats awesome that it works now!
Nice review. Could you try it without the dead cat? Especially indoors, it’s not needed unless windy. I’m guessing that’s why the comments say it’s muddy. Oh, and did you activate the onboard noise reduction? Test that on/off 😊👍🏻
Wonder when I get my Combo kit, which is on back order from DJI, if it will work using the blue tooth on the iMac 24" The sound from that new mic sounds amazing. Best Dave
The Adobe Audio Enhancement sounds unbelievable. Sounds like a voice over you did in post production. Which it is kind of, but with AI and not with a studio mic. :)
Hey Steve, thanks for the video. I have an off topic question - I really like the color grade. Could you explain a little bit about how you achieved that? The red, the green in the grass, the contrast? Am I also seeing some added grain? Thanks very much!
If only we could monitor via blutooth as well. Maybe Blackmagic camera app could work this into their app. Right now it only lets you select one audio source, but if it could connect two, you could connect airpods and DJI mic 2 to iphone, then select airpods as output and DJI mic 2 to input.
@@GrenlandUnderVann Yeah, the Hero 12 will see it, but it won't connect due to lack of update, it's funny, we're not really even meant to be talking about this on penalty of death. I'm hoping we get an update for the Action 4 so it sees it and works with it, I can't stand using the damn receiver and transmitter, I just want one dedicated bluetooth mic that works perfectly.
@@WanderEats I just paired it like I would pair any bluetooth earbuds. I put the microphone in pairing mode (blinking blue LED), and the microphone was listed on the phone's available devices.
Tried it wit Action 4 and works great. Not sure about it’s water resistance level. Where in Ireland are you from just curious? Love your videos very clear
it works with the action 4 now? It didn't last week, did you update the firmware? I'm from County Antrim in Northern Ireland, kinda north east area. The bit that's in a "its complicated relationship" with the rest of the island and Great Britain
Did you attempt to measure the lag? BT devices are notorious for introducing time lag, either transmitting or receiving. It didn't seem *too* bad from your video, trying to gauge it with your lip movement.
I have a question 1. What application is used with it? Is there a cost? 2. I've used it like in the clip, but the microphone doesn't cut the sound. . Thank you
@@stevestechemporium Fingers crossed. Honestly I am already very happy they released an official 3.5 mm adapter so I can directly plug in my tiny mic without the need for a cage. Ultralight baby.
I did a similar test on my channel, and must say the blutooth audio quality is way lower than when plugged in. I hope they can fix it via firmware update.
Great test. I'm a new owner of the Mic 2 and starting to play around. It seems if you want to use the receiver, you can't plug in the USB-C dongle into the iPhone if it has a case on it. The case is too thick and the USB-c dongle is too short. Unless I'm missing something about how to do it.
Very useful, thank you! I bough only the DJI-mic transmitter and I thought I can't use it without a receiver in order to be able to pair it with my iPhone 13 Pro. But with the Blackmagic Camera app it really worked. Awesome tip! And how did you manage to enhance the voice with Adobe Podcast? Is there a way to synchronise the new audio clip with the video? What app/program did you use to do that? Cheers
Just purchased this as the Pocket 3 combo ... and DAMN I'm as impressed by this as I am with with the camera - had heard nothing about that it could do 32 bit float either internally or to the Pocket, I'm looking at my Rode Wireless Go and ME and wondering if I even need these (will do a sound quality test later to see... though for quick shoot and scoot using the default iPhone camera will probably still use one of the Rodes (which will use the audio input from the Rodes)
When they release the Action 5 with blue tooth, it will be fait a complit 🤣 Could you try; turning on the mic, pressing and holding the record button until the power button light turns green, then press the record button again to start receding and see if that does noise cancelling as is without adobe ? Let me know, thanks a mil 🍀 Hey, perhaps a Mini 5 Pro will have voice control, eg. bank left down 20m straight on, climb 50 banking right, tilt gimbal down 10°, really smooth out the bumps 🤔
This is great to know. One thought, what if you have your iPhone that was paired with the DJI mic, then startup the OSMO 3, would it pair again with the OSMO, or would you get into an unpairing, repairing cycle?
@@stevestechemporium I mean with resolve audio isolation, almost anything sounds good. So the Bluetooth wouldn’t be an issue. Syncing up in post CAN be a pain, but it’s not that big a deal
Hmmm something about the quality of the Bluetooth audio just didn’t sound very high quality. Reminded me of early music streaming. Recording internally might be a better option and then syncing in post. Your opening 1:30 was the best audio of this entire video.
Bluetooth audio isn’t as good as a normal wireless connection but it’s much better than I was expecting. I tested Bluetooth audio a couple of years ago and unusable. This is good enough to use, at least for TH-cam videos and social. The audio at the start with with a directional shotgun mic, which is the best option for quality. But it will have made the Bluetooth audio sound worse by comparison. Lav mics are always less clear sounding than shotgun.
I can use with iPhone 13 Pro with davinci app. if open in media in davinci app they have no sound , I have to save to camera roll to hear sound. But with camera app of iPhone it doesn’t work
Hi, I have a problem. When I connect the DJI MIC 2 via bluetooth and open the Blackmagic cam, I cannot use the noise canceling mode. Do you found this problem like me ?
I tried this, do you notice the sound quality is more "microphoney" when connecting to other devices than pocket 3? When I see others connecting it to pocket 3 it sounds much clearer
The HERO12 picks it up as a Bluetooth device, but won't fully connect. Damn! But.... You can still record to the DJI mic and just clap to get sound synch on the recordings. The only question is, how drizzle or weatherproof is the mic?
@@stevestechemporium Interesting! I was using the latest firmware, so maybe that has an effect. I've tried a few times and it lets me click to add it, but then it stays stuck on the pairing process.
@@stevestechemporium Hmf, BT Audio is supposed to be a compliance standard so how could they? But the DJI Mic2 TX connected straight to my Samsung S22 Ultra...
It is great to have the ability to record straight to a phone wirelessly…. If someone is a perfectionist, they can also take the audio from the DJI 2 mic and sync it to the video in post, if you don’t like the Bluetooth audio.
Can you record both on the phone AND onboard, so you can use the onboard audio (which probably are better due to BT compression), and use the BT sound for synchronization?
Thanks for the info. It does not work with the iPhone SE 2nd gen that I currently have. The 15 Pro is in order and I am trying to figure out which accessories I need for filming.
This looks great and sounds good. I'm curious what the actual audio quality (sample rate etc..) is compared to just recording internally. Reviews of seen of the Instamic when used via blue tooth were poor compared internal recording.
I believe that DJI had intentionally delayed the release so that they could get rid of the current market stock. As long as they are satisfied with the sold units of dji mic 1, they will release the mic 2.
It's because there are no "Mic" controls for the mic when connected to the iPhone. There is a "Noise Cancelling" button on the mic itself, which sounds like the fool didn't turn on.. The "receiver" for these Mics don't do a whole lot, accept adjust Gain/Volume Output, and let you change a few setting on the Mics.
a bit late but the way I would use it is to connect it to your phone and simultaneously back up record on the mic 2 itself, so you can sync the back up with the horrible bluetooth audio
I would recommend always use the direct "backup" recording instead of relying upon Bluetooth. Bluetooth recording will be more than adequate for a sync later but the on-device recording will be of higher quality - just requires extra steps in post.
I need your help please. I paired the mic to the phone, and used the black magic camera app to select the DJI mic as your video instructed. I made a short recording and can see the meters indicating recording using the DJI mic, but can't hear any playback out of the iPhone. When I open the file separately outside the black magi app the sound is there, but I get no audio when previewing the clip from the black magic app. What am I doing wrong? Is there some way to set up the black magic app previews to play the audio that I am missing? Advise. I also discovered that mapping the audio source to the DJI mic using the black magic app does not extend that DJI source mapping to the native iPhone camera app. Recording using the native iPhone app ignores that mapping and there is no apparent setting in the iOS to make that mapping to the DJI mic to happen. If you are aware of any way to make the native iPhone camera app inherit the DJI source mapping please let me know. It would seem obvious that Apple would provide a way to accomplish that mic source mapping in settings, so perhaps I am just not finding it.
Hi Mark. I think you might need to disconnect the mic to hear the playback. If it’s connected the phone can think it’s a pair of headphones and so it tries to output audio via Bluetooth.
Hi, I am considering purchasing this mic, but Djibouti says “when connected via Bluetooth, you can’t utilise internal recording or noise cancelling”. Is still the case?
I know you can't use the internal 32bit float audio without the receiver or other DJI device (which is a shame), but can you set the gain via the video app there?
I’m not having it connect via Bluetooth. I’m pressing and holding the link button and I’m using it with an iPhone 15 when I go into my Bluetooth settings it doesn’t pop up as an option to choose.
@stevestechemporium: how is it with auto reconnect - to IPhone - or OSMO Action 3/4??? Do you always have to reconnect again? And - onboard recording of the Mic - how long, which fileformat - how to get it out of the Mic and what is the Batterylive? Any chance to test with GoPro 12 via Bluetooth?
Can you adjust the volume output on the standalone mic? Also, what bluetooth standard does it use? Also also, how does it sound in high wind with the deadcat?
Question here, is it possible to pair 2 mics at the same time like you would using a camera, with 2 mics and 1 reciver? To record lets say an interview or talking vlog with 2 people?
oops deleted my last comment before I saw your reply as I got all twisted with BLE versions etc. Had a quick chat with an audiophile friend (you know the kind who has 7 or more headphones to listen to vinyl). My brain now aches as he went off on bit rates, bit depths and codecs etc. Suffice to say there are a lot of variables that effect the sound quality on different Bluetooth devices. In the end I didn't get a definitive answer as to why the quality was different 😮💨

1. What application is used with it? Is there a cost?
2. I've used it like in the clip, but the microphone doesn't cut the sound.
.
Thank you
There's speculation that the DJI Mic 2 might be able to connect to the Action 4 directly (no receiver). If that's the case, I'll buy both.
I’m hoping this will be the case!
@@stevestechemporium Fingers crossed. Honestly I am already very happy they released an official 3.5 mm adapter so I can directly plug in my tiny mic without the need for a cage. Ultralight baby.
I did a similar test on my channel, and must say the blutooth audio quality is way lower than when plugged in. I hope they can fix it via firmware update.
Great test. I'm a new owner of the Mic 2 and starting to play around. It seems if you want to use the receiver, you can't plug in the USB-C dongle into the iPhone if it has a case on it. The case is too thick and the USB-c dongle is too short. Unless I'm missing something about how to do it.
Very useful, thank you! I bough only the DJI-mic transmitter and I thought I can't use it without a receiver in order to be able to pair it with my iPhone 13 Pro. But with the Blackmagic Camera app it really worked. Awesome tip! And how did you manage to enhance the voice with Adobe Podcast? Is there a way to synchronise the new audio clip with the video? What app/program did you use to do that? Cheers
Just purchased this as the Pocket 3 combo ... and DAMN I'm as impressed by this as I am with with the camera - had heard nothing about that it could do 32 bit float either internally or to the Pocket, I'm looking at my Rode Wireless Go and ME and wondering if I even need these (will do a sound quality test later to see... though for quick shoot and scoot using the default iPhone camera will probably still use one of the Rodes (which will use the audio input from the Rodes)
When they release the Action 5 with blue tooth, it will be fait a complit 🤣
Could you try; turning on the mic, pressing and holding the record button until the power button light turns green, then press the record button again to start receding and see if that does noise cancelling as is without adobe ? Let me know, thanks a mil 🍀
Hey, perhaps a Mini 5 Pro will have voice control, eg. bank left down 20m straight on, climb 50 banking right, tilt gimbal down 10°, really smooth out the bumps 🤔
This is great to know. One thought, what if you have your iPhone that was paired with the DJI mic, then startup the OSMO 3, would it pair again with the OSMO, or would you get into an unpairing, repairing cycle?
Good question! I would assume that it shouldn’t switch if it’s already linked to a device. But I haven’t tested it.
Cool, but I’m surprised it’s took this long for someone to make a Bluetooth enabled mic. That AI enhancement was a nice improvement
There have been other options in the past but any I tried were terrible
Can you make a comparison with the Bluetooth to the internal recording???
Should have tried that! The internal recording will definitely be better
@@stevestechemporium I mean with resolve audio isolation, almost anything sounds good. So the Bluetooth wouldn’t be an issue. Syncing up in post CAN be a pain, but it’s not that big a deal
Hmmm something about the quality of the Bluetooth audio just didn’t sound very high quality. Reminded me of early music streaming. Recording internally might be a better option and then syncing in post. Your opening 1:30 was the best audio of this entire video.
Bluetooth audio isn’t as good as a normal wireless connection but it’s much better than I was expecting. I tested Bluetooth audio a couple of years ago and unusable. This is good enough to use, at least for TH-cam videos and social.
The audio at the start with with a directional shotgun mic, which is the best option for quality. But it will have made the Bluetooth audio sound worse by comparison. Lav mics are always less clear sounding than shotgun.
Sadly the DJI Mic 2 doesn’t connect to the iPhone 13 Pro Max…but still great that it does to the 15
Yeah it’s a shame. There’s going to have to be a list of compatible devices
Why not? Does it have to do with a Bluetooth version or is because
Of the firmware?
I can use with iPhone 13 Pro with davinci app. if open in media in davinci app they have no sound , I have to save to camera roll to hear sound. But with camera app of iPhone it doesn’t work
Is that definitely true?
Must with app?
😊
Is the iPhone BT audio improved with the new DJI mic 2 update?
I've just bought one and finding its not great audio using the moment app. Did you treat the audio? thanks for the video.
The audio quality is very good for a youtube video, IMO.
Apparently the UK version of this mic isn't the same as the US. There's no blinking blue light when you hit the link button.
Hi, I have a problem. When I connect the DJI MIC 2 via bluetooth and open the Blackmagic cam, I cannot use the noise canceling mode. Do you found this problem like me ?
I tried this, do you notice the sound quality is more "microphoney" when connecting to other devices than pocket 3? When I see others connecting it to pocket 3 it sounds much clearer
The audio you had at the beggining was awesome, what do you use?
The HERO12 picks it up as a Bluetooth device, but won't fully connect. Damn! But.... You can still record to the DJI mic and just clap to get sound synch on the recordings. The only question is, how drizzle or weatherproof is the mic?
Thanks for checking! Been told it works with Insta360 X3
Had a message from someone who was told it did work with the Hero12 for them. Interesting! At the very least that means it’s unreliable
@@stevestechemporium Interesting! I was using the latest firmware, so maybe that has an effect. I've tried a few times and it lets me click to add it, but then it stays stuck on the pairing process.
Maybe GoPro deliberately blocked it 😂 wouldn’t be surprised if
@@stevestechemporium Hmf, BT Audio is supposed to be a compliance standard so how could they? But the DJI Mic2 TX connected straight to my Samsung S22 Ultra...
Do you have more info about that Adobe AI thing that you briefly mentioned at 4:17? Is that free, subscription? Thanks.
It is great to have the ability to record straight to a phone wirelessly…. If someone is a perfectionist, they can also take the audio from the DJI 2 mic and sync it to the video in post, if you don’t like the Bluetooth audio.
Can you record both on the phone AND onboard, so you can use the onboard audio (which probably are better due to BT compression), and use the BT sound for synchronization?
Thanks for the info. It does not work with the iPhone SE 2nd gen that I currently have. The 15 Pro is in order and I am trying to figure out which accessories I need for filming.
This looks great and sounds good. I'm curious what the actual audio quality (sample rate etc..) is compared to just recording internally. Reviews of seen of the Instamic when used via blue tooth were poor compared internal recording.
Thank god i waited for the DJI Mic 2 and did not buy the Rode Wireless Pro! Cant wait until they release the Receiver & 2X TX Set!
Yeah I’ve always preferred the DJI mics, I’ve got two sets I use for interviews for my commercial work.
I believe that DJI had intentionally delayed the release so that they could get rid of the current market stock. As long as they are satisfied with the sold units of dji mic 1, they will release the mic 2.
sounds bad to me. I am not sure you've recordered the proper quality without receiver - sounds like really bad mic.
It's because there are no "Mic" controls for the mic when connected to the iPhone. There is a "Noise Cancelling" button on the mic itself, which sounds like the fool didn't turn on..
The "receiver" for these Mics don't do a whole lot, accept adjust Gain/Volume Output, and let you change a few setting on the Mics.
a bit late but the way I would use it is to connect it to your phone and simultaneously back up record on the mic 2 itself, so you can sync the back up with the horrible bluetooth audio
I would recommend always use the direct "backup" recording instead of relying upon Bluetooth. Bluetooth recording will be more than adequate for a sync later but the on-device recording will be of higher quality - just requires extra steps in post.
Great video. However, after trying it, it appears that the mike only records one channel and does not support stereo sound.
I got it to work with the iPhone 14pro, and insta360 ace pro
I need your help please. I paired the mic to the phone, and used the black magic camera app to select the DJI mic as your video instructed. I made a short recording and can see the meters indicating recording using the DJI mic, but can't hear any playback out of the iPhone. When I open the file separately outside the black magi app the sound is there, but I get no audio when previewing the clip from the black magic app. What am I doing wrong? Is there some way to set up the black magic app previews to play the audio that I am missing? Advise.
I also discovered that mapping the audio source to the DJI mic using the black magic app does not extend that DJI source mapping to the native iPhone camera app. Recording using the native iPhone app ignores that mapping and there is no apparent setting in the iOS to make that mapping to the DJI mic to happen. If you are aware of any way to make the native iPhone camera app inherit the DJI source mapping please let me know.
It would seem obvious that Apple would provide a way to accomplish that mic source mapping in settings, so perhaps I am just not finding it.
Hi Mark. I think you might need to disconnect the mic to hear the playback. If it’s connected the phone can think it’s a pair of headphones and so it tries to output audio via Bluetooth.
Errrrrrmmmmm this is amazing!
Love the vid. Have this kit… as yet untested. Can you steer me towards the Black Magic app please. I cannot find it. On iPhone. Loving your work.
Cancel. Found it. Thank you tho
IMO quality is not good enough without AI. If I connect using reciever quality will be better?
I looked all over the DJI site and there's nothing that says that's a 32 bit float mic...
DJI haven’t released any proper info on it yet, however sound engineers and other people have been using it and discovering the features.
Do you need to pair it again to the pocket 3? After you use it with your phone?
Hi, I am considering purchasing this mic, but Djibouti says “when connected via Bluetooth, you can’t utilise internal recording or noise cancelling”. Is still the case?
Wow. That AI enhance was incredible! Well done.
I know you can't use the internal 32bit float audio without the receiver or other DJI device (which is a shame), but can you set the gain via the video app there?
Sounds very good! Ordered! )
Where can I buy this. There’s no on DJI website
How are you finding the battery life on the 15 Pro
A lot better than my 13 Pro
really enjoying your content - question, I want to get the pocket 3 with the mic, is this the same mic that can connect to the phone?
Yeah it’s the DJI Mic 2 that comes with the Pocket 3 Creator combo pack.
@@stevestechemporium well, I was on the fence about buying that, but now I definitely have to do it
I’m not having it connect via Bluetooth. I’m pressing and holding the link button and I’m using it with an iPhone 15 when I go into my Bluetooth settings it doesn’t pop up as an option to choose.
Nice! So would this work with in Insta360 x3? Connect via the airpods option maybe.
Yup, tested it last night!
@@stevestechemporium amazing! So did you connect it through the AirPods option on the x3? That would be a game changer for me. 🤩
@stevestechemporium: how is it with auto reconnect - to IPhone - or OSMO Action 3/4??? Do you always have to reconnect again? And - onboard recording of the Mic - how long, which fileformat - how to get it out of the Mic and what is the Batterylive? Any chance to test with GoPro 12 via Bluetooth?
Well… could this really work for outdoor weather conditions?
What is the first mic used?
I’m also curious. Sound in the beginning of the video is amazing
The big question is can you connect 2 two your phone?
To answer your question: this video was indeed helpful. Cheers!
Excellent, you’re welcome
Can you listen to music on AirPods Pro while using the dji mic to record video simultaneously?
Can you adjust the volume output on the standalone mic?
Also, what bluetooth standard does it use?
Also also, how does it sound in high wind with the deadcat?
Question here, is it possible to pair 2 mics at the same time like you would using a camera, with 2 mics and 1 reciver? To record lets say an interview or talking vlog with 2 people?
Hi, what is the name of this application to be able to record audio with the DJI mic 2 microphone with iPhone?
holy hell, whats the AI enchancement widget
My sounds like static ,when connected bluetooth to galaxy s22. :( you know why?
can this record the file inside, itself ?
can we buy only 1 mic and use it with iphone through bluetooth?
Mate there’s someone who looks just like you who made a documentary on algae in an Irish loch
really? Who is that?
oops deleted my last comment before I saw your reply as I got all twisted with BLE versions etc. Had a quick chat with an audiophile friend (you know the kind who has 7 or more headphones to listen to vinyl). My brain now aches as he went off on bit rates, bit depths and codecs etc. Suffice to say there are a lot of variables that effect the sound quality on different Bluetooth devices. In the end I didn't get a definitive answer as to why the quality was different 😮💨
