How did you like the audio from my mic'd up video?
I have honestly been waiting for a video like this for I am shooting a basketball league now and want to mic them up. Thank you
@@brycewhite2921 let me know how you go!
💯
Great. I mic up a youth football player with a wireless sound recorder from Amazon. Sound was good but it was hard to sync it up because I recorded the whole game instead of keeping the camera on the player only.
@@1-o-f-1 If you can't record the audio directly on your camera, synching it in post is always a challenge that will test your patience! One way that helps a lot is if your files are time-stamped.
This gives me a perspective. I’m still trying to figure how to safely put it on football pads
It will be safe if you use a vest like in this video. And then you can attach the lapel mic at the front inside the pads.
Just want to say thanks for your content. I’ve been making videos for over a decade mostly as a hobby but all related to video games. My son plays rugby league and for the past 3 years I’ve been filming all his games and he’s been asking for micd up style videos the last 2 years. After watching a few of your videos I decided to give it a go. FB marketplace for a Dji mic and had an old lapel mic already. A few mistakes while learning it all but within a week I have a set up I’m happy with. Biggest issue I had was during his first run, when he was tackled the other player happened to press the record button and stopped it. Now I know that can be disabled from the receiver I’m good. Really enjoying the content as someone just playing around with sport’s videography as a hobby. My best friend plays gridiron locally so that’s my next goal and then maybe some soccer. Cheers.
Thanks for this awesome feedback!
This is a great informative video. Loved how you linked everything together that someone would need.
Thank you!
Dude forreal. I’ve watched now atleast 20 videos of which mic, how to use it, etc etc etc. This guy summed it up in one F video. Thank you bro
Really nice video man. First time watching and needed to know how to record some basketball games. The brevity, the detail, the production, the kit, etc., all good stuff. Thank you.
Thank you for such positive feedback! 😊
I just made the same Setup to record my games. There is no such thing here in Brazil as this Sport Vest. So....
I bought a Women's Sports Top, and I asked a Friend to make the small pocket behind the back for me, turns out it was way Cheaper and Looks/works the same as in the video.
That’s awesome, very resourceful of you!
fala bro, onde consigo assistir seus vídeos?

Amazing work! Been following for years and this one reaaally helped me out! 🙌🏼
Took me a while but I got there! 😂 Glad I could help.
This is so cool. I've always wanted to do this myself. Thanks for the tutorial!
Glad I could help. Let me know how you go with it.
I never realized you used the St. Society track in this video. I used that one last year in one of my videos and the team loved it so much it became their theme song.
Yes it’s finally here!!! 🙌
Thank you for your patience. 🙏🏽
yo! this is amazing. It answers so many questions!
Thanks 🙏🏽
thank you so much for this video, exactly what i was looking for
I was waiting for this one!
Hope it doesn’t disappoint.
This is awesome, just what I need to know in this topic. Thank you.
By the way, have you ever had any voice/noise/interference issues between the rode lav mic and the DJI transmitter and or receiver? As far I know that was a pretty common issue and it ruined the audio mainly and that's why I bought the rode wireless go II instead of the DJI. (But I wanted the DJI Mic, though.)
I never had any noise issues personally. But I think the people who did we’re not using the audio handle on the camera. I always use it.
Love it! Great video as always!
Thank you! 😊
Very helpful! Thank you so much.
Great vid
Thank you!
This is amazing!! Thank you!
Glad you liked it.
Thank you for this brother 🏀
So helpful man thank you
Loved this video thank you!
You're welcome!
I've been wanting to do this thanks!
Have fun with it!
Thought he was mic’ing up Chet for a min 😆
😂
Great video!!!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Awesome. Thanks
You’re welcome ☺️
This is a great video! I wanna do some videos like this with some athletes, but my problem is that they're already using a vest with a GPS tracker in it. How would you solve that? Another vest on top? 😅
Not really, sorry. Maybe see if they can both fit in the pocket.
Thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
Love the 🏀 video!
Thanks 😊
This is great
🙏🏽
Hey man great video, really informative! Quick question, I play competitive Spikeball and am looking to start creating Mic'd up content. I film on my Iphone and know that the DJI mic is compatible with Iphones. Was wondering, could I get away with just buying the DJI Mic and not all the other accessories such as the lavalier mic?
Yeah I guess considering that spikeball is not a contact sport, you can probably get away with it as long as it's not against the rules to have something sticking out of your t-shirt. If it's like other sports where you can't have jewellery or a watch on while you play, I doubt they'll let you wear the DJI mic transmitter on your collar.
great video
Thanks 🙏🏽
W help bro ❤
awesome. how would you do it for NRL or rugby union? WIth some times they tackle high with their chest to stop the offload.
Same way. Hopefully their big pectoral muscles will take the impact and not the mic.
With the vest being more centred in the chest area do you think the lav mic would be damaged easier being clipped there(for rugby)? Would you ever clip it to their collar area of the t shirt? Or any suggestions with where to put the lav mic for rugby game mic ups?
Anywhere you put it is somewhat of a gamble at the end of the day. I would think it would have a better chance of getting ripped off if attached to the collar.
Great video my guy! I will be actually doing my first mic’d up in a few days. Where can I get the compression shirt with the pocket? 3:00
Just follow the link to my mic’d up kit in the description.
Dope, E! Quick question tho. What is the range like for the dgi? My current mic is only about 25 yards. Also, does it cut out when people are between the transmitter and reciver?
If you watch my full review here you’ll get all the answers to your questions th-cam.com/video/2s0jv7cWypU/w-d-xo.html
do you have larger vest recommendations? the vest only goes up to a size large. Or do you think the large vest will fit players who wear XL and XXL size shirts/jerseys?
Large should be fine. It's a very elastic fabric. I have a large one and it's never been too small yet.
GEEZAS CRIIS
😳
Love this idea. I've been trying to tuck it into my daughter's sports bra, but this is a better approach.
Do you go directly into the camera audio or do you record the audio to the DJI unit and then sync if up in post?
Both. I always record internally but only use it if I need to.
@@BeyondTheGame_E I'm new to adding a mic'd up player so maybe I haven't thought it all the way through yet. I have a shotgun mic on the camera so I don't necessarily want the player mic to always be on. Maybe a video idea for how to use both audio streams without having to dig through hours of audio tracks with no video and figure out where to sync them up, etc.
I have 4 audio inputs on my camera so no need to record separately other than a quality backup. But I’m pretty sure you could get a splitter and record both microphones. One on the left and one on the right.
@@BeyondTheGame_E Another reason I want to upgrade from the A7iii to the FX3!
I am late to this great video
It's never too late! Thanks
Did the DJI package you recommended. Works absolutely great, thank you. I did have one question: do you know how long the mic lasts that is in the vest? I'm using this to record pick up basketball games and I usually run 2-4 games, but sometimes have to wait. Will the mic (battery) last like 2 hours on my back? Thanks again, love the set up!!!!!!!!!!!
According to DJI, you get 5.5 hours of battery life from the transmitters, 5 hours from the receiver, and up to 15 hours with the charging case.
@@BeyondTheGame_E Thanks!
@@BeyondTheGame_E I understand that this may be difficult to diagnosis, but you have any idea as to why my DJI doesn't record sometimes. It's odd. Things are charged, I believe all things are plugged in, I'm just not getting sound sometimes. Thanks.
@@0ucantstopme034 Is the audio coming through in your headphones but not in the recording?
@@BeyondTheGame_E Not sure I understand the difference. HOWEVER, I think I may have figured it out. Before a pick up game I'm shooting around, the transmitter (mic) is searching for the receiver, BUT I don't turn on the receiver until a game starts. So after about 15 minutes the mic will simply shut off. I don't know this because the mic is on my back in the "vest". So I think I just have to turn both on (mic and receiver) for the duration of playing, NEVER turn off the receiver. Does that seem right? But then the question is, will they both last like 2-3 hrs? Hope so...thank you for your time.
awesome video! i was considering getting the hollyland lark m1 wireless microphone for cycling / outdoor activities as it's much smaller, lighter and cheaper then the dji. but doing similar set up of having the mike on the undershirt then jersey over. i cannot find anywhere if the microphone part of these wireless mikes would become damaged by sweat? as i see you are using a seperate lavaliar mike? do they become damaged by sweat? it'd be for road cycling
I can’t guarantee that the lav mic will break or not break which is the whole point of using one. That way you’re not taking that risk with your wireless mic transmitter but just a $20 mic instead.
Hey, just saw your video about Sony A6400. Is it good for sport photos? Or do you think there is a better opinion at the same price?
Yeah it can definitely do photos too. At the same price, you could get better results with a second hand full frame camera like the A7III for example.
@@BeyondTheGame_E Isn’t it expensive?
@@KevSkev a new one is more expensive than the A6400 but a second hand probably won’t if you shop around on Facebook Marketplace, EBay, etc.
Hey bro, I purchased the DGI Mic set up based on your recommendation and I’m very pleased with it. I have the tank top, lavalier mic, and pretty much same exact set up. Ran the lavalier to the front of the jersey as well. I’m shooting with the Sony A6400. My problem was that it was picking up way too much sound. And the sound became distorted. I turned the gain all the way down. Any recommendations to help?
There’s gain levels on both the transmitters and the receiver so make sure that both are set properly. Also, when recording in mono, you can also record a safe track which will be recorded 6db lower than your main track just in case the main track is too loud.
Hey bro, so I made the adjustments you recommended and it worked great! My next micd up session I want to mic up two players. I wanted your thoughts on how to best achieve this. One player from each team. I have another videographer to record the perspective of one player and I’m doing the other. How would you recommend me go about doing this effectively.
@@Agfilmss since you only have one receiver, it means that the audio from both players will be recorded in the same camera. So it will be almost impossible for the second shooter to know if you’re recording the audio every time he’s pressing record on his camera. I would make sure to activate the internal recording in each transmitter to make sure you have all the audio you need.
Does the DJI Mic cuts the sound when not facing the camera? I am a soccer coach and i film my sessions, I need a mic that will not cut if i give my back to the camera. Do you know anything about that?
It won't do it every time but there's always a risk with these types of wireless systems. Which is why the DJI Mic transmitter internal recording is extremely helpful. That way, even if the connexion is lost with the camera, you can always retrieve the full audio file from the transmitter later. To get a connexion that never breaks no matter what, you would need a professional grade Tascam wireless system that costs at leass 3-4 times the price of the DJI Mic.
@@BeyondTheGame_E Thanks so much for the reply and for the content! Send you good vibes!
this is an amazing idea! but where do i find a vest like that? i live in USA
Just check out the link that I mentioned in the video. All the equipment is there including a vest.
If you wanted to do something like this with whitewater rafting, is that feasible? Are there waterproof options/opportunities?
The kit linked in the description includes a waterproof bag for the transmitter.
great video .. do you have a link to the vest?
Not unless you live in Australia unfortunately.
Love the content. Looking for the vest, didn’t see it in the link.
It's an Australian product that's not available online in the US as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any American product equivalent on Amazon that wasn't selling the GPS with the vest.
@@BeyondTheGame_E same! What are you supposed to do if you buy it for the intended purpose, and then rip the vest? How are they NOT sold separate?
@@jacobthemann00 they do exist sold separately but just not on Amazon. Have a look at local stores that sell electronics and/or sporting goods.

Thanks 🙏🏽
Hi I just bought the dji mic ,I wanted mic up a player for football ,but just nervous on where. I don't have a lavelier mic I just bought the one transmitter set up. Thank you! I don't want it to break.
My mic'ed up setup recommendation for football is exactly the same as the one in this video. You can try to tape the transmitter inside the front of the shoulder pads if you don't want to use a lav mic but it's obviously much more dangerous for your transmitter.
Would you say a medium vest would generally fit most men and woman or should I invest in a few sizes
The one I used in this video is a large but I guess it depends on the brand.
So, it would be good to record calisthenics session or some basic acrobatic movement from Capoeira, right? I bought some cheap mic and its sucks. Could hear mic rubbing against my T-shirt while doing exercise...
Yeah that doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of the mic though. If it’s rubbing against something, any mic is going to make that sound. You need to secure it better and use a fluffy windshield to protect it against friction.
Kinda wird, because I saw you installing a mic on a guy back, I could hear him talking as well but I couldn't hear you rumbling a mic in your hand nor installing it. How come?
@LukaszStolarczuk the transmitter is at the back but the microphone is the lapel mic at the front.
Thanks for the vid! I’m going to start producing mic’d up videos. Is there a way to listen to what the athlete is saying live, so that you know what’s best to record?
If there’s an earphone jack on you camera, you can connect earphones and use them to monitor the audio like you would with any other microphone.
@@BeyondTheGame_E thanks heaps!!
Great video! Could you drop the link to the sports vest? I can’t find it in the mic’d up kit list or on Amazon when I type it in
That vest is not available online in the US. You’ll have to find a different one.
Thank you!
have you tried wearing it backwards and just use the wireless mic without lav in pouch?
No I haven’t but, not only would it be very uncomfortable, it would also put the transmitter in a much more vulnerable position.
@@BeyondTheGame_E thanks
I went through your mic kits and because i’m on somewhat of a budget i’m thinking of getting the Saramonic Blink 500 B2 3.5MM 2.4G Dual Channel Wireless Microphone ($199 kit). Do you think that’ll be alright for a full rugby game with contact and everything
I think I just answered your question on the other video.
Hey bro so your saying don’t put the mic outside the vest . Where should i place the mic ?
You can clip in at the front but with the microphone part inside instead of out. But honestly, I've clipped it outside many times as well and it's not a big deal. It's just an extra layer of protection.
Does the DJI transmitter connect to Sony cameras?
Yes it does. Well technically, the transmitter is what's on the player. The receiver is what is connected to the camera.
@@BeyondTheGame_E thanks!
Just curious, what size vest did you have? Was it stretchy?
It's a large and yes it is stretchy.
I wish I watched this before I put one of my Rode Wireless Go II transmitters onto the front of the pads on my son's QB last week. It stayed on perfectly the day before, but then he rushed with the ball, got hit and the transmitter just kind of disappeared in the turf :|
The sounds were brilliant before we lost it though.
😬
Do you have any recommendations for any wireless mics? Or does it have to be wired?
I recommend the DJI mic used in this video.
If i did this for football(American), where would you recommend to put the mic
Exact same place.
Now tho do we use it and it match up with video and all that
Yes there’s a transmitter that goes on the player and a receiver that connects to the camera. So that all the audio is recorded straight on the video.
When you say put the lav mic itself inside the vest and not on the outside you mean in the velcro pouch with the transmitter?
No I mean clip it on the front of the vest just like I did in the video but clip it so that the mic is inside not outside.
@@BeyondTheGame_EGotcha thanks!
I wanna get mic’d up, but I don’t wanna spend numbers like 70$ is there any cheap options?
I doubt that you’ll be able to find a wireless mic kit, a lavalier microphone and a vest for less than $70.
for sports that require diving should you just clip the mic on the shoulder?
would this also be able to connect to a go pro?
As in diving in water?
@@BeyondTheGame_E as in diving in like volley ball or frisbee
@@BeyondTheGame_E because if i dive on my stomach i don’t want the mic like breaking
@@Ramu_uu Well, if you put the mic on the shoulder, the audio won't be nearly as good. So I guess it's one or the other depending on what bothers you the most.
may i ask. how do you get the audio from the microphone onto your phone or laptop?
With the receiver. The transmitter is on the player and the receiver is connected to your camera, phone or computer. Or, since you can record internally in the transmitter as well, you could use the transmitter only to record and then connect it to your computer to transfer the audio files. But that means you'll have to sync all your audio files to your video files manually in post.
How would you mic up a football player with the pads on for practice?
The same way with the vest underneath the pads.
I have done this with the Rode Wireless Go for lacrosse. Had issues of the athlete being 50 yards away from me and when their back was to me, the signal went out. Any experience using the DJI with an outdoor sport athlete like this?
I cover this topic in great details in my review video th-cam.com/video/2s0jv7cWypU/w-d-xo.html but if you are in a situation where the signal tends to cut off, I would just make sure the internal recording is rolling. Which is much easier to manage with the DJI Mic.
@@BeyondTheGame_E I had a feeling you had already gone over this, so thank you for being willing to reply and send that link! Your video on Rode vs DJI convinced me to purchase the DJI this week and largely because of the internal recording and not needing an app to adjust settings. Love the channel! Thanks for providing useful content and inspiration!
Quick question would you recommend the Synco G1 A2 mic?
I’ve never heard of it, sorry.
where can I buy the vest he was wearing underneath his jersey?
I’m in Australia so I can’t recommend an American store. There are a couple models available on Amazon but I never tried them personally.
which deadcat do you recommend for the Shure MVL LAV?
They're all pretty much the same to be honest. Some are thicker so better protection but it also means that they are bigger and more obvious on camera.
Hi! I love these videos but I can’t afford any of these! I know this sounds desperate but I was wondering if you could help me get a DJI so I can mic my friends up and myself! Anyways love your videos!❤
I don't think there's much I can do unfortunately. But if you look at my mic'd up video kit suggestions (link in description) there are a few cheaper alternatives.
@@BeyondTheGame_Eok thank you for your time!
Does this work for hockey
Yes of course. This applies to any sport but the sound will be a bit more muffled if the mic is underneath a pair of shoulder pads.
how exactly do you sync the audio from the mic to the footage from ur camera?
If the DJI Mic receiver is connected to your camera, you won't have to sync anything because the audio will be recorded directly on your footage. But if you're talking specifically about the transmitter internal recording, the easiest method would be to never stop recording on your camera or maybe only stop at quarter time and half-time so that ultimately you only have a few clips to sync. And when you start a recording, point the camera at the player while their doing something easy to identify in the audio. Ideally they would clap their hands one time and you can just sync that clap pretty easily.
@@BeyondTheGame_E okay yeah that makes sense thank you
how do u connect them to the camera?
I responded already on your other comment just like this one but in case you didn’t see it:
The transmitter is the part that goes in the vest but there’s also a receiver that’s connected to the camera with a 3.5mm stereo jack. Here’s a full review of the DJI mic th-cam.com/video/2s0jv7cWypU/w-d-xo.html
what if i wanna mic up in a rugby game cause we dont wear pads
Same principle apply by using a vest but obviously the lapel mic at the front will be much more at risk. Which is why typically the refs are the only ones wearing mics for these types of videos in rugby union and league.
I need to try this but with one of the water proof phone bags cause the guys I record are not going to wear a sports bra. lol
Can this hook up to a phone?
Yes it can.
Can I use the same sitting for the DJI mic 2
Ive never used the new version but i would assume so.
O okay. So just try your settings on the new version and see if it sounds good
@@MrAKirby yes exactly.
Okay thanks
What’s the name of the vest
This particular one is from SPT but I don't think it's available outside of Australia.
can you remind what setting you put on the transmitter?
I just lowered the input volume to make sure it wouldn't clip.
what’s the input you put it on?
@@destinydennis6840 no idea. I change it all the time because every voice is different. You can’t adjust the input without hearing the voice first and seeing how high it gets in your transmitter. It’s definitely not a ‘one size fits all’ situation.
Where is the link for that vest?
This particular vest is not available outside of Australia.
Yooo bro got a link for that vest?
It's an Australian product that's not available online in the US as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any American product equivalent on Amazon that wasn't selling the GPS with the vest.
Is this the mic used for NBA players?
Nah. The pros will use a mic that allow you to pick a specific frequency so that no one interferes with anyone else. Those are much more expensive though.
Where can I get the vest from?
The link to the entire kit (including the vest) is in the description.

That particular one is only available in Australia I think. Which is why I didn’t put any link. But I’m sure there are plenty of similar options available where you live.
@@BeyondTheGame_E what is it called?
@@Glows_world I think it's usually called a GPS vest or tracker vest
Can’t find the best and it’s not on your Amazon list
This particular one is only available in Australia.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” You need to have a follow up video, interviewing an insurance agent about how to insure yourself and your business if the player is injured while wearing this. Pro teams, college and school teams all have way more insurance than you'd ever imagine. You, the video guy, probably don't.
This is just like flying drones. The product is there and there are plenty of TH-cam videos showing you how to use it but ultimately it's up to you to use it safely and legally.
maybe not the best place for transmitter for american football
Actually it is the best/safest place for football. If you land on your back, because of the natural arc of the spine, the middle part of your back will take most of the impact and the back of your helmet will take the rest. But the part in between will take little to no impact unless it lands directly on someone’s foot or something like that.
