I'm gonna have to be honest: I love how it sounds out of the box. Did not prefer the tweakings on the Lightroom app. This actually sounds extremely clean.
DJI's mic is more worth the money in this case! For one the simple charging pod just makes it not only portable but super functional as well! Then the mic itself just works incredibly even at a far distance!
What an absolutely great, professional review! All the detail that I needed after staring at my new DJI Mic kit for the past couple of hours. Tried three other reviews earlier and they left me a little confused. Your review turned on all the lights (or sounds) for me. Now I am giddy trying all the options, iPhone, connected to my DJI Action 2, DJI Pocket 2, and as a voice-over for FCPX on my M1 Macbook Air. All worked flawlessly - just plug in, turn on, and enjoy really great audio from such a small device. Thanks for your hard work in putting together such a well organized and detailed review.
I just purchase is little DJI Mic $530 (AUD), and really looking forward to using it. Thanks for making this video cheers new subscriber Western Australia
Great review, thanks very much! This is the fourth or fifth video I've watched on these mics and so far no one has shown how well the system works with both mics on, which I've had numerous interference problems with other wireless mics I've used.
Thanks :) This looks like a clear winner over the Røde Wireless Go II. Too bad it's not in stock currently, but I'll just use my current setup until it's ready :)
Bought it a week ago with 45 day delivery date... Then saw it on Best buy with 30 say delivery date so I cancelled the DJI order. Waited for my refund then checked on Best buy again, it was sold out. Went back to DJI and it's now 60 day delivery🙃🙃
@@B-RaDD I just had a chat with them at DJI yesterday. They said it'd be available in Europe in May, so anywhere from 14 days to 1½ months. It's not too bad. I like the smaller form factor over the Røde but in general they seem pretty comparable, and Røde makes good stuff generally. :)
Great video! Can I ask what your camera volume is set to? I have my Sony at +1 volume, and I had to boost the receiver to +12db. I dont know if that is normal.
Never was interested in the Rode Wireless Go but this DJI joint 🤔🤔🤔... Would make it even more desirable if there was an iPhone/Android app to control the settings rather than using the tiny receiver.
I believe the Transmitter mic will record internal audio tracks as well, meaning not connected to the receiver or camera or phone? I got my eyes on this set. I use the Lark 150 a lot
Hey Jordan Is this compatible with GoPro? Looking for something that records straight to the video without having to sync later in editing. Cheers for any help mate. Great review
Ok I just want to know this. I have an s23 Ultra and a newer gopro neither have aux audio inputs can I use some sort of usb c adapter to make this work with those devices? if so does it come with it? Thanks!
So when it came to just recording straight into the camera, how did you got about it? Reviews I’ve seen so far, shows the presenter always pressing the record butting in the transmitter, where as I’d have thought to be more intuitive, once the receiver is plugged into camera, you’d only need to press record on the camera ind it would start audio recording on whatever is connected. Is this possible or do I have to press record on the camera and or the receiver/transmitter?
Very informative video! Thank you. I frequently shoot video of over one hour in length. I heard another reviewer say that with long videos he has been having problems with the on-board recorded audio being out of sync with the video. Have you been having problems with this? The ability to record audio to the internal drive would be the primary reason for me to buy this rig. Thanks again.
One thing that wasn't explained here, great video though, is the backup video really makes it easy to sync the lav audio to multiple cameras even if they were started and stopped. Like say someone walking around with a phone camera on a gimbal. You can start and stop that and sync the lav audio to the continuous backup track. ;) One thing I had a question about is the output level of the headphone out jack. Does it have a reasonable volume level, or be adjustable?
Cost of this dji mic 2 is estimated on BandH camera site to be $329, not available til March 2022. I admit to being disappointed with the cost. Amazon does not even list this device yet for sale. I love the pocket 2 and the mini 2 drone, but the tiny cameras do have video limits compared to shooting with my Sony A6600. Given how expensive it is AND if it can only be used with the pocket 2 I'm not sure about buying it at this time. I think time will tell and we will need more consumers to be buying and trying out this device. I want the very best video quality if I'm shooting a documentary interview. Thanks for this review. Again, DJI produces such wonderful devices that have fantastic software.
Can we run a wired mic from the transmitter to the shirt? How's this one compared to the Rode for interview/documenting. For 1 person. Seems has much more features like using on the phone, camera and the ports and charging, to make it worth the extra money.
Great video. Could you tell me the dimensions of the charging kit? It's on back order at B&H and I'm setting up my hard case and need to know how to arrange things. Thank You.
Do you know if the DJI Mic receiver will fit into the lightning port of an iPhone 13 Pro when using the SmallRig Video Kit, or will the cage block the Receiver from fully attaching?
I am trying to record basketball workshops with guest coaches speaking. Would this work.. This wireless system with the 3.5mm Out plugged into our camera, and the headphone jack plugged into our external amplified speaker (Ion Block Rocker)? I am trying to get clean audio directly into the video for online sharing, but also need to increase the volume going out so that kids in the sportshall can hear it (there's likely to be 70 kids or so) Or would I need to have 2 microphones , this one into the camera, and then one directly into the ion block rocker?
Have you tried it with a wired lav yet? People are saying there is a terrible hum when you use it a lot of lavs, including professional ones made by Rode.
Here's the downside of the DJI Mic, if you're using an iPhone you can only record mono so you can't have separate channels which is a friggin bummer Man... For the love of God please make a lightning adapter that lets you keep the channel stereo on an iPhone. I just ordered a Rode SC15 cable to see if I can use this as a temporary workaround it works with the rode Go II, so when I get it in a couple days I'll test it out and let you know how it works. Again, DJI please develop a new lightning plug so we can have the option of going mono or stereo with an iPhone… I know I can record on each transmitter but it's just that much more work to bring it into the editing system and syncing it up. I'd rather be able just to drop it into the timeline and have separate Mic channels…
Im looking up lithium Ion battery life it say 2000 to 3000 charges or 5 years life. I presume when the batteries die you have to throw the product away.
Hi, as the receiver has 3.5mm TRS port to a mic. Could I use a TRS Y splitter in each receiver to plug in 4 TRS mic and record it with all four people? Thanks
Hey, can you confirm if the DJI Mic's receiver when clipped onto the supplied hot shoe adapter, mounts on a cold-shoe and not hot shoe mount on camera? Thanks.
Just received mine today (in Japan) after pre-ordering in late Dec 2021. I can confirm it works with GoPro media mod (hero8) - I would assume works same with hero9
Hi great video. I have a question. If you use the iPhone and record video, do you need to remove the adapter in order to play and listen to the video. This is happening with the rode wireless go connected via trrs. Thanks in advance.
@@9to5toys So i just received my DJI Mic and I use it for standalone recording. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but the sound is very low when I hear the recording from my computer. On the receiver the sound level looks okay (about two third) but when I listen to the audio, it is low. And from Final Cut Pro, the sound level is below 6 which is weird because it should be below 12. What am I doing wrong ?
Will this record two channels of discreet audio to a Samsung S21 Ultra with each mic on its own channel? If so, will this work with the native cam app and Filmic Pro?
How can it do any of these things when its not actually in stock anywhere? Months worth of these teaser videos and still cant buy it. So at the moment rode is still the best option over this vaporware.
One expectation I've heard is that this would somehow offer Timecode features, such as jam syncing. My guess is no TC - could you please confirm? Thanks in advance!
I wish DJI made it simple to remove and replace the clip from the transmitters. 1st- it would be a good feature to have in case you break the clip, 2nd - when putting inside a body strap, the clip makes the transmitter slightly bulkier. If anyone has figured out how to do this safely, please let me know. Thanks.
Great 15 hours charge and sound quality. BUT worst charging ever. So many problems online and terrible DJI Mic support. For the price they should provide a charger. DJI Mic manual says need 5V 2 A but online they reply to people who have problems saying need to use 5V 10A. 5V 2A doesn't work and good luck finding a 5V10A charger. Can't find in Philippines in store or online on Shopee so tried Amazon - no luck. Also before someone replies YES my firmware for 2 transmitters and receiver are updated. Also charging box charges AT LEAST ONE OF 4 PIECES CHARGE BUT it never charges the receivers or transmitter and the 3 pieces don't charge when plugged directly into outlet one at a time.
its just unfortunate that this product has been promoted since Nov of 2021 and we already in April and its still on pre order. I try to buy them this morning and then noticed i wont get them till end of may... Some of us don't the time to sit around and wait to pre order if we have the money we want right away in prime. This pre order bs they got going on changes peoples minds because the number one rule of any business is to never make the consumer waiting. I have a gig at the end of April and I'm being forced to by the Rhodes and I really don't want to.. They were suppose to been drop these.
Me too earlier it was supposed to come in Jan 2022 now they say March, then maybe they will say in July , they created too much hype without having actual item at hand 😂
I'm gonna have to be honest: I love how it sounds out of the box. Did not prefer the tweakings on the Lightroom app. This actually sounds extremely clean.
Same here. The raw audio sounds great here.
I am impressed with the build quality, range and ease of use of this Wireless Mic.
I really dig the charging case. It can charge both transmitters and receiver.
The design aesthetics look so much more "pro" on this DJI vs. the Rode Go II. I'm considering the DJI from your video. Thank you!
DJI's mic is more worth the money in this case! For one the simple charging pod just makes it not only portable but super functional as well! Then the mic itself just works incredibly even at a far distance!

Audio quality matters and DJI just made it a lot less complicated.👌
Great review, thanks very much! This is the fourth or fifth video I've watched on these mics and so far no one has shown how well the system works with both mics on, which I've had numerous interference problems with other wireless mics I've used.
can you get additional receivers, so you can have multiple cameras receiving the same transmitted audio signal?
Did you ever buy the kit, I am new to cameras so I am not sure if I need this or just to buy the Osmo mobile.
Portable and sleek looking charging box. Plus points for that!
So when connected to the camera the video file has the audio from the mic?
Great review and an exciting bit of kit. DJi are crushing it at the moment with this and the new Camera..
I have the DJI pocket 2 camera,is this mic compatible? My question sounds dumb but I d like to know if I can plug it in. Thanks.
Yes, you can.😊
Compatible with dji, iPhones, androids, cameras, etc
Action 2 as well
Thanks :) This looks like a clear winner over the Røde Wireless Go II. Too bad it's not in stock currently, but I'll just use my current setup until it's ready :)

Great video! Can I ask what your camera volume is set to? I have my Sony at +1 volume, and I had to boost the receiver to +12db. I dont know if that is normal.
Should i press the record button on the mic whenever i want to record a video?or i can just leave it On?
The raw audio was so much better than the amended one you did lol
Never was interested in the Rode Wireless Go but this DJI joint 🤔🤔🤔...
Would make it even more desirable if there was an iPhone/Android app to control the settings rather than using the tiny receiver.
That would be handy! It’s a pretty slick little kit
Very nice video. Short, to the point, concise and informative. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
sounds great raw, im not a professional but I'm happy with what you're getting
No stereo sound for the iPhone. does that mean you only get sound from one side if wearing headphones?
How do you empty all the sound tracts, and have ready for next shoot?
I believe the Transmitter mic will record internal audio tracks as well, meaning not connected to the receiver or camera or phone? I got my eyes on this set. I use the Lark 150 a lot
That’s correct! Then you can download it via the usb-c port.
Are you able to mute Transmitters individually from Reciever.?? Thank You
If I use Action-2 camera, do I still NEED to use ressiver ?
Can DJI Wireless Microphone Transmitter be used and buy separately?
can this be used with the computer I just received mine now I wonder how to use it with the computer via usb c
Hey Jordan Is this compatible with GoPro? Looking for something that records straight to the video without having to sync later in editing.
Cheers for any help mate. Great review
Yes...just Use mic adaptor for go pro or media mod
Jordan, utterly helpful, clear, and artful video. Happy new subscriber here! 💛🙏🏼
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the detailed review! Very tempting to get this one.
Awesome info sir! Do you know if the receiver takes power from the USB-C while its connected to the phone or does it just use its internal battery?
Great video Jordan, this product was well reviewed.
Ok I just want to know this. I have an s23 Ultra and a newer gopro neither have aux audio inputs can I use some sort of usb c adapter to make this work with those devices? if so does it come with it? Thanks!
Does the wireless mic and receiver work on a Portable Speaker (with bluetooth and 3.5mm plug-in capabilities)?
Do you know if using the right adapter/ cable if it can be used with a 3 prong XLR camera input?
So when it came to just recording straight into the camera, how did you got about it? Reviews I’ve seen so far, shows the presenter always pressing the record butting in the transmitter, where as I’d have thought to be more intuitive, once the receiver is plugged into camera, you’d only need to press record on the camera ind it would start audio recording on whatever is connected.
Is this possible or do I have to press record on the camera and or the receiver/transmitter?
This is some Jame Bond looking type of gear, I expect flamethrower feature too

can this product be used on Go pro 10?, Thanks for your vid.
Someone reported that when it’s connected with lavaliere mic, there is strong noise. Have you tested that? Thanks
Looks like this could be my next upgrade "when it comes out". Thanks for sharing.

I was looking at getting a Panasonic HC-X1, which has XLR inputs; is this kit compatible with that? Or is there a RELIABLE adapter you might suggest?
Thank you so much! this micro can be used withe the GoPro media case as the Rode micro?
Can we run a wired mic from the transmitter to the shirt? How's this one compared to the Rode for interview/documenting. For 1 person. Seems has much more features like using on the phone, camera and the ports and charging, to make it worth the extra money.
Thanks for such a good review. However, what is the use of such a PERFECT product without availability. If only it was available....
They just got a firmware update. They added Auto Record, Record lock, and the LEDs are dimmable.
Great video. Could you tell me the dimensions of the charging kit? It's on back order at B&H and I'm setting up my hard case and need to know how to arrange things. Thank You.
Would the Rode Lavalier II be compatible with the DJI Mic?
is this mic compatible with my Sony fx30? I’m having a hard time connecting audio
Can the transmitter send audio via USB to the computer for Live Stream usage?
Yup! I tested on my PC and it worked just fine.

When will it be in shops?
Great review. Very helpful. Thanks.
I wonder if this would work to feed audio into the GoPro media mod kit.

Hi will this work with the Pocket 2 and how or in what situation can I use two transmitters.
love the video looking to get it...........
This seems like a better version of the Pico Mic kit, same concept.

What about EM interference with using lavalier mics?
Can this record "stand alone" and transmit at the same time?
Question. Can you videocall or take part in zoom conferences with dji mic?
Yes, thanks to the USB, Lightning, and 3.5mm connectors it has a wide variety of uses
@@9to5toys the problem is I can't hear the person I talk to when using a dji mic
Do you think DJI will ever have these available for delivery? Paid for mine 2 months ago and still don't have anything but excuses.
ouch, did it ever show up?
@@really_jack nope. Nothing as of March 14
Will this record two channels of discreet audio to a Samsung S21 Ultra with each mic on its own channel? If so, will this work with the native cam app and Filmic Pro?
all well and good, but when can you expect availability, why is everyone promoting it and you don't even know the date.
Hey! What camera did you use to shoot this vid?
Yo! Sony a7s3
I like the idea that you can add a corded lapel mic so that you don't have to have a a piece of plastic hanging off your shirt.
Great review thank you .
How can it do any of these things when its not actually in stock anywhere? Months worth of these teaser videos and still cant buy it. So at the moment rode is still the best option over this vaporware.
It's a new product! Rode Go is on v2, so is possible more mature in any case.
Does it works with dji action 2?
Does this DJI Mic receiver work on an iPhone 13 Max while attached to the DJI OM5? Weight/Movement/
YES

Please DM me if you’re willing to sell the mic kit.
sold out the product
It never came to the market , they just sent it out to some creators for review
If convenience is the name of the game the DJI Wireless Mic wins by a mile.
All they have to do now is start selling them.
