See my separate comment further down for details: you *can’t* record internally/backup recording when connected via bluetooth to a smartphone. Not possible. You *can* trigger a recording if transmitter is in bluetooth mode *and* not connected to a smartphone (blue blinking light) - but if connected to a smartphone via bluetooth the recording button does nothing but angrily buzz and red light goes on and off again.
Dave, I FEEL your pain. I know the exact scenario- research, perfectionism, and being murdered in the comments for getting some fact or detail WRONG. Here’s a lil powder to get a cheer-me-up. And thanks always for the EXCELLENT work you do! P
Hi David, nicely done 🙂 1) If you have manually paired one Microphone / Transmitter to another device by Bluetooth, e.g. your mobile phone, it will NOT automatically re-pair to the DJI receiver when you put everything back into the DJI case. You have to put the Mic / Transmitter into its WiFi, not Bluetooth pairing mode before the resync will work. 2) I would also set 32 bit record up as that gives you something to rescue with more latitude in post from the Microphone / Transmitter recording. Note: the 32 bit recording is on the Mic / Transmitter only, it is not in 32 bit format when being transmitted to the DJI receiver. 3) You can switch off the function of the PWR button on the Mic / Transmitter which allows you to switch-on or off the noise reduction, so that it doesn't accidentally allow it to be switched. 4) If you've set auto record to ON and locked the record button, you can stop / start the recording from the receiver.
@@sturingnico There's the rub, you need the receiver for many of these 'settings'. So folks who have sold their original DJI Mic2 complete kit and just have the DJI Mic 2, will find themselves with less control. As an additional note to my original comment, when linking a DJI Mic2 by Bluetooth to a mobile phone or Insta360 X4 for example, even if you have enabled the Mic2's 32 bit float recording and / or the Mic2's Noise Reduction, both these TURN OFF when connected to the receiving device. I don't know why DJI did this, unless there was some kind of copyright on that functionality when not used with DJI receiver devices.
Holy crap, the DJI sounds way better now. I was a little put off by the DJI after that video until I saw this. Stoked, cause I still haven't pulled the trigger yet.
OMG I'm so glad I watched this, I just bought the DJI mic 2 and was SO confused why they sounded so thin out of the box, was considering returning them because of it, the first tip about the low cut filter genuinely saved the product for me, thank you!
I really loooove this video...not many of us can accept when we make a bobo, more over do a whole video with the changes and new perspective...thats why I love seen this guy. Honest, great, funny, what else you want XD
Benefit of DJI clip retainer for the wire is that it will “lock” ANY lav mic. The Rode unit will only lock lav mics that have the lock. I suppose you could still wrap the wire around it’s clip if it fits without pinching the wire. Thanks for the helpful reviews!
The Rode is significantly brighter in the top end and so seems more ‘present’ than the DJI. I’m not keen on the shiny plastic finish of the Rode though tbh. Swings and roundabouts …..
I think that's totally right, the Rode's built in mic has a brighter presence in the top end. But this is also both straight out of the transmitters without any editing. Pulled into edit, you can pretty much make either of them sound how you want
Mate, Those mics were not supposed to be tested by being carried near to the mouth. By doing that, you are making it easy for DJI. All the tests should show how strong a wireless mic can pick voice when it’s hanged on a shirt or using a Lavalier Mic attached.
After watching your last video I almost didn’t buy the DJI mic 2 but I thought something wasn’t right so I decided to see for myself glad I did. Figured out the low cut in a couple minutes and realized the mistake in your last video. Thanks for the update. This is a great mic.
I was about to buy the RODE after seeing your first video but now you've got me 2nd guessing because the sound quality is a lot closer than before. I appreciate the update 👍🏽
It's tricky because they're both so good! If you're shooting a Sony camera, the new adapter is a pretty dang sweet sell, but you can't go wrong with either of them honestly
I don't know about 1 being pared at a time. But if you keep them in Bluetooth for the pocket 3 then put them in the case, they 100% stayed paired to your pocket 3 when you take them out. They do not default back to the receiver
That routing path is more important for the longevity of the 90 degree connector than the "yank out" resistance. Trust me, back from the days of using wireless packs on my guitar...those 90 degree connections SUCK if they're not stabilized well. Flexing them back and forth nearly always ends up wearing it out, and boy howdy are those teeny tiny connectors difficult to rewire and repair. The routing detail behind the clip is a nice design feature to mitigate that for sure.
I'm currently trying to decide between these mics. Even with the lo-cut filter off on the DJI I can still hear that the Rode audio quality is noticeably better even on computer speakers. Having said that I think all the packaging/UI advantages the DJI offers might offset it's slightly worse audio quality for me.
@DavidManningvlog : I saw your informative video. However I have an important question which I didn't find the answer anywhere yet. ...Can I put a 3.5mm jack to DJI Mic 2's LINE-IN input (like a Lav mic can be inserted), from a music concert's audio mixer's output, to record the crystal clear audio (full music), not just a talking person's audio/speech? If yes, what would be the best settings in DJI Mic 2? And, if this can be done, I guess, that final mixer's audio can be entered into DJI Osmo Pocket 3's video recording too -- right? Please test and let me know. Thanks in advance.
It will have to do more with the mics used than with the transmitter. I have a Sennheiser AVX lav mic which costs about 1200 Euro, and it connects fine with the DJI Mic 2 transmitter.
One thing I think is worth mentioning is that the lav mic is an extra expense with the DJI Mic 2, but you get two lav mics included with the RØDE wireless Pro...
Yeah, if you look at the packages side by side, and factor in the price of 2 dji lavs, the Dji mic 2 is actually more expensive than the Røde package - dji costs less money for «a» package, but more expensive if you want lavs as well
Definitely a bonus on the Rode side and on the DJI side, the bonus is being able to buy the same product in multiple arrangements all the way down to just a transmitter for $99
@@DavidManningvlog Just too bad they couldn’t match the value of the Røde combo with lavs, which give you more options for less money :/ The Dji TX + RX combo is pretty good value for someone starting out just like me, not really needing the case and the extra mic, but a lav in there would have made it a perfect combo
@@DavidManningvlog that bonus diminishes though when you can’t do internal recording if buying just mic to connect to phone via bluetooth, and the mic not working with the iphone native video app via bluetooth, and not being able to disable the low cut filter with just the mic, or enable 32bit float with just the mic if using it as a standalone recorder *and* the audio via bluetooth to iphone quality is really sub-par. so the 1 tx and 1 rx combo is the only viable option for full feature set, but then one discovered the tx built in mic is noticably duller/muffled than the røde, and you need to buy a lav mic as well for the tx and then your close to the price of the 2 tx and 1 rx combo, which when buying 2 lavs in addition is more expensive then the røde set, which has slightly brighter audio on the wireless lav out of the box *and* comes with to wired lavs …
@6:22 is not quite right. From a footnote on DJI's website: When the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, internal recording is not available.
Can someone explain please? I was expecting to buy mic and that will make it to sound great. But when I hear samples of mic it sounds awful. Do I really have to do poster for sound? Or am I missing something? (Yes I have no fracking idea :D ) Thank you Love you forever.
Just get a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and decided to dump my Rode Wireless GO II for the full DJI Mic 2 kit. I'm so surprised to see how much smaller the DJI Mic TX/RX is in person versus the Rode. That doesn't really come through on all the videos. Also loving the ability to change all the settings right on the TX itself and not have to use an app. Not sure if you know this, but once you pair each DJI Mic 2 to both the receiver and the OM3, you can toggle which link is active. Yes, every time you put it in the charging case and take it out it will be active in receiver (regular camera) mode, but you just toggle the button on the side to switch it to Bluetooth. You don't have to actually go through the Bluetooth pairing process over and over. I don't use timecode, so having one mic system that works both with the OP3 and my Nikon wireless camera, for simplicity, is worth any slight differences between the two mic systems.
to be fair, it's kinda on DJI for shipping the mic 2 with settings you can't change if you buy the stand-alone mic 2. It doesn't even have 32 bit float on as default. If you buy the mic 2 to use it with something other than an action 4 or mic receiver, you can't change any of the settings.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. BTW you were not the only one not checking the low pass filter setting. There are many reviews out there were the DJI MIC 2 sounds a lot "weaker" then the Rode Pro. I just realized how much beter the sound from your main mic is compared to the DJU Mic. Whats your Mic/Sound setup?
Another tip: the BT audio quality is not as good as the standard mode. Record onboard the transmitter and use the BT audio in the video to sync up to the internal recording.
If connected with a smartphone via bluetooth the internal recording feature is disabled on the transmitter, I made a video about it a couple of weeks back - dji «informs» you about this hidden pretty well on the website :/ So only good quality option without the receiver is *not* connecting the mic to the smartphone, use internal recording, and then sync in post :/
@@valuemastery latest firmware on release, and latest firmware updated when it came some days ago - not sure how yours can record internally while connected to your smartphone since dji states it doesn’t on their website: «5. When the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, internal recording is not available.» Is you mic showing a steady blue light and you are recording in an app on the phone, while the recording light shows steady red? Because your mic can be «connected» via bluetooth and record internally, *if you are not actually recording in a camera app* on the phone - as soon as the mic is actively recording to an app on the phone it won’t record internally :)
Thanks for this video. I cant get in one thing - at 7:58 farmgent with noise rediction - is this setting activated on mic/transmitter itself and will be applied to transmitted signal to reciver AND to inplace record? Or just to transmitted? I think about to get one reciver only to record audio internally on the bike with GoPro 12 - I just dont need reciver - its bulky with silly "media mode".
Is it possible to just use a DJI Transmitter, record audio on internal SC card. Then use post to manage audio. For my application, I need a mic to record on person and don't have a requirement for a 'receiver'. Or other options?.. Thank you
8:56 Noise Reduction via bluetooth only works if the paired device has Wind Reduction internally such as thr DJI Pocket 3/Insta360 X3, DJI Action 4. I've paired my Mic 2 to my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra via Bluetooth and the noise/wind reduction does not work as the camera/voice recorder apps don't have that feature. So if a person is a smartphone content creator...they will need to pick up the kit that has the Rx in order to have Noise Reduction
I am really glad that the DJI MIC2 came together with the Creative Combo. I will not get the receiver, since I am always going to have it paired with my OSMO Pocket 3. But I bought an extra MIC2 ... the white one ... and have it paired to my iPhone (as standard). And I still love my Røde Wireless Pro kit, and will still use those as main audio kit together with my Mirrorless cameras. :)
I'm also thinking about getting 2 DJI Mic2s, but was wondering if you can access all the settings (like disabling the low cut filter) without the receiver. Can you confirm if all the settings are available without the receiver? Thanks!
The DJI set being in one box whereas the Rode has 2 soft cases to hold everything is significant when packing. Also, being able to do the settings on the DJI screen looks more convenient than having to access an app. Can the DJI files be deleted using File Explorer? Apparently the Rode files need the app. 👍😎🇳🇿✨
I have a Sennheiser MKE2 lav mic and I routed mine under that little clip on the transmitter and it worked for 15 minutes then no more. I checked it with my other equipment and I didn't short the mic - but will not work on the transmitter anymore. Maybe think twice about routing yer lav under it. Just sharing my experience. Great video. Merci.
It sounds a lot better after the latest firmware update also, I was using just the transmitter and it sounded like noise reduction was on all the time and it's much better now, My guess is with the transmitter only it defaulted to the low cut but didn't show it in the camera menu.
im so torn between these two, i think I prefer the audio sound of the rode wireless pros, but the transmitter interface and style on DJI system looks so much nicer. and having the option for a white transmitter for wedding dresses is also very ideal. thanks for the update!
Professional audio folk here, I would NEVER turn a lpf on at the source. The only circumstance for that might be if it was a live broadcast and there was no other way to cut the lows (ie mixer) and I was worried about something like excessive wind or background noise. You don't get the lows back if you change your mind later.
@@todddammit4628 Professional audio folk here too ;-) there is actually one use case for the LCF (it's not a LPF) at the source, namely when the rumbling noises are so severe that they would clip your recording. But otherwise, I think you're completely right. (of course in that case it would be best to identify and remove the cause for the rumbling, but if not possible -> LCF)
@@oppenheimer11 Sure. You need timecode when you simultaneously make several recordings from the same event, for example shooting video from different angles with a multi-camera setup, or recording audio independent from in-camera audio (or even with multiple mic channels). You need a way to synchronize all these recordings in editing. Doing this by hand can be challenging and time consuming. So, when you record synchronized time code with all your recordings, be it video or audio, post production will be a lot easier. When you only have one camera, and connect the mic to the camera, you won't need timecode - the camera will record video and audio in perfect sync. But as soon as you use external audio recorders (even the one that is built into the mic), you run in synchronization issues. There are professional audio recorders that record a timecode along with your audio. However, DJI Mic 2 can not do it on its own.
@@oppenheimer11 No need to start recording at the same time. In professional setups, a world clock is used. It's a small device that runs a clock and can send a clock signal to cameras and audio recorders, so they don't use their internal clocks, and instead record all the same time signal from the world clock. Professional cameras and audio recorders have a clock input, but that means that you have to run wires for the clock signal across all your recording devices on set. In editing, the editing software recognizes the clock signal embedded in all input files (video files and audio files), and automatically synchronizes them perfectly. If you don't want to run cables from the world cock to all recorders, you can shortly connect every device to the clock, and then disconnect. The cameras and audio recorders adjust their internal clocks to the world clock, and then continue to use their internal clocks. But over time there will be drift, so it's maybe good for the next two hours before you have to connect again. In earlier days, when no world clocks where used, filml makers used "claps". These are small chalksboards, where scene numbers where written on, and then (after recording started) the clap below the board was used to make a short click/clap noise. Later in editing, you can see the moment of the clap on video, and hear it in the audio files. So video ond audio where shifted to snychronize the clap event at the beginning of recording, resulting video and audio to by in sync. If you don't want to use a clap, you can simply manually shift your audio on the timeline until you feel that speach is lip-synced. But today's editor sofftware such as Fincal Cut Pro X offer a automatic function to do it for you, if you have embedded audio in the video. It works like this: Record good audio with the Mic2 on the person you want to record. At the same time, the video camera records video+audio, but that audio recording is not good to be used in the final output, because it is not near enough to the recorded person. However, it is good enough for the editing software to automatically sync the Mic recording with the camera audio.
I appreciate you so much. You’re giving us all the info! Answering questions and correcting yourself when you make a mistake. I really like these wireless mics. Trying to decide if I need them (I want them for sure) and whether to get the DJI or the Rode…. 🤔
Biggest question for me was, why was the low cut on as default? just discovered that myself over the weekend. Also noticeably lower gain levels than my other mics. DJI law mic still out of stock in the UK, looking forward to picking one of those up.... thanks David! appreciate the video.
Two major questions so I use a GoPro hero 12 how many mics can I use at one time and is the audio that is recording into the GoPro the audio from the mics or would it be the audio from the GoPro? How do I synchronize both do I do it in post or is it already done upon the recording in the GoPro?
Thanks for this. Your original video was one of many that caused me to cancel my order because I could not stand the audio out of the DM2. I agree that this is kind of (mostly) DJI's fault. This high-pass filter should NOT have been on by default. I know the DM1 had that, and I turned it off. Rode did not have this filter that I noticed. I don't recall the filter having such a huge effect on the DM1 audio, but my memory could betray me. So now, I have one issue with the DM2. The big-ass logo and reflective case that is also transparent showing the texture + detail of the electronics. The Rode suffered from this nonsense too, but I found some matte stickers on Etsy to cover it up. A lav mic should not be a distraction, and draw no much attention to itself than what is absolutely necessary.
So here's a question...... I use my DSLR sometimes, then my phone and then my GoPro and the audio can be drastically different between the three. So which mic's would be better for internal recording? My phone makes a horrible hiss sound so I have to edit the audio. My GoPro generally always sounds as good as my DSLR but with my current mic, the audio can start to fade and sound like in a well then immediately goes back to normal. My devices or my cheaper mics? I use Synco currently but really would like a good set that will record internally. Suggestions/recommendations?
Great post, well done ! Got it with pocket3 creator combo, but i noticed that when i play the video in the mimo app, my voice comes with a small delay after my lips move :P How could i fix this ?
I could still easily tell which one was which. Myster mic 2 was the Rode, which still sounds much better than the DJI, and that's with laptop speakers. But it is closer now without the low cut engaged.
Especially when one mic already sounds how you want it to sound. But unfortunately, I will have to get the DJI mics because I have the pocket 3 and action 4 so it makes more sense. The Rode mic just sounds better.
@@sirgigolo you can use the road wireless Pro with your pocket 3. Yes, you need to plug-in the receiver, but is very easy to put a cold shoe adapter on the back of it.
David, thank you for your wonderful insights, very useful. Can you use the DJI Mic 2 via bluetooth directly with Insta360 One RS module, without the receiver? If so, does the internal recording work simultaneously?
I found this in a footnote on DJI's website: When the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, internal recording is not available. HTH
First off I really have enjoyed the dji mic 2 after removing the settings you spoke about. So when I grabbed the dji lav i was shocked at all my audio issues. Terrible sound. BUT when paired with a Rode Lav II it sounded fantastic. Odd but a great pair.
Thanks for the update. Any hacks for the terrible design choice of shiny front plastic and bright logo? Kind of the opposite way Rode went? I am looking at these seriously but the clear plastic gives me concerns since clear plastic is usually weaker than coloured.
Got to seriously wonder what your doing if more strength is required than the clear plastic gives. I have been climbing and banging one of my units into rock and had no problem other than a couple of cosmetic scratches.
@@ChrisNewham the strength is a side effect however my biggest concern is how not-subtle the updated branding is. Bright logo on shiny front plastic is not exactly discreet.
@@yeeisme I don't like the prominent branding either I got a tiny paint brush and painted the DJI logo black so its no longer really visible but for my use case I mainly use the lav anyway so the bright branding isn't an issue.
It’s totally fine to be wrong once in a while. I’m an audiophile so I still prefer the rode mic. The wireless go transmitter also records internally just like the dji. And the rode logo is a bit inconspicuous unlike the dji which is right in your face screaming look at me.
Lol - is it that difficult to take a black sharpie to the logo if you're that bothered by it, as opposed to the larger, shiny square that weighs down the wearer's shirt, blouse, whatever more than the DJI?
Thanks for the update. I'm curious as I had linked one of my Transmitters to my camera and I charge it in the case and it does not automatically re-link to the Receiver. Perhaps I don't leave it in the case long enough when I open it?
I'm a big fan of your content and I'm reaching out for some advice. I'm in need of a wireless solution to monitor audio, especially when I'm away from the camera or receiver. Could you recommend any reliable systems that offer wireless monitoring compatibility with headphones? I'm open to any wireless headphone options. Thanks in advance for your help!
I don’t see why you can’t pair with the receiver and the Osmo pocket. I believe you can have one Bluetooth pairing and to the receiver and change between these modes on the transmitters. It works with my phone but haven’t tested with the Osmo.
The problem I have with the noise reduction is, as you talk it lets in that background noise so then you get a see/saw effect to the background audio which for me is very distracting, I'd much rather do it in post where the software is wayyyy better at the noise reduction. But yes, others may not care about that or even notice it. I like what I'm seeing with this DJI mic 2, seems though the next version will be better as hopefully they will add ability to download both transmitter onboard audio from the case directly, but I do love that the DJI has setting and control directly on the DJI is huge, so I'm going to buy the Mic 2, but I also hope they improve their lavs because the Rode is much flatter and lower profile which I like.
After going through 2 separate sets of DJI Mic 2's I had to return them. I was getting strange intermittent static & noise aberrations while using the DJI Lav Mic. Not sure what that's about, but I didn't trust it for my work related content. Sticking with the DJI Mic 1... I'm considering trying the Rode Wireless Pro, but don't like the whole cable thing for Smart Phones. Prefer the clean attachments from DJI... However, I think I have a work around for an adapter from another Mic set that would make the Rode Pro connect with a USB-C to USB-C attachment. Could you do a quick video with the low cut settings for the Rode. Curious sot see how that sounds on and off... with and without lav.
So, I got these mics and I paired my second mic to my DJI action 4 when I take it out of the case it stays connected to my action 4 it doesn't pair back to the receiver when I put it back into my case . I'm not sure if my set is not working right but, I actually like having it this way . I have one dedicated to work with the receiver and one dedicated to my action 4 without the need to keep pairing it back to my action 4.
Thanks for the review and updates to your previous review. No shame in being wrong when you're cool enough to set the record straight. I do wish a screw-on lav feature was an option for use with professional lav mics. The built-in noise reduction constantly varies the sound quality which is destructive. Always best to apply noise reduction in post. Always. It's great that filmmakers have so many compact and affordable options for audio. These may lack some of the features and performance of professional systems, but they are waaaay better than using on-camera microphones. Audio, is so, so, so very important. I'm glad that DJI is giving Rode some competition, which encourages improvements that users benefit from. Life is good.
One issue with having the transmitter record locked on is that you can’t switch the transmitter into Bluetooth mode without going into settings on receiver and turning it off. (So if you want to hot swap from receiver to pocket 3 etc. you can’t do it easily) Also if your using Bluetooth on your iPhone / insata360 camera etc you can not record internally. For noise reduction I wish they would allow us to disable it completely. I have accidentally hit it a few times now. Otherwise, it is a great system, I think it’s more geared toward content creators than it is professionals, but for me, having ability to connect it to Bluetooth devices is what allows it to stay in my bag. I also have the rode wireless pro system but I don’t carry it unless it’s for specific reason..
Good video. My question is can you use both Mic 2 microphones via Bluetooth on the DJI Action 4 or does the 4’s Bluetooth only allow one mic at a time?
Great review and update. Ended up going with the Rode Wireless Pro since it was on sale for $369 at B&H and included two lav mics. The DJI would have been much more expensive since it doesn’t include lavs in any of the available kits from what I saw.
Thanks for adding these points. I just watched the other video before and was surprised that the Mic 2 just seemed to sound more flat and worse. This clears that pont up. Also, great that you go and say "hey yeah I was wrong there", not many people can do that. That's big points in my book. 👍 Again, thanks!
Good updated information 👍 On the very last note. I run one transmitter BT to my Action4 & it has never reconnected to the receiver in the case while charging. Pre or post firmware, maybe it’s a setting?
You need to set it back from Bluetooth mode to Receiver mode. While turned on, press and hold the record button in the mic. The connection LED will switch from blue (=Bluetooth mode) to green (=receiver mode), and connection with the receiver will function again.
I have the dji mic 2 and have watched many videos already but I found this video very helpful. I thought the dji sounded more pleasing. I listened on Edifier speakers.
Lots of "DGI"s in this video. Sorry guys, pretty sure my mouth can't say DJI unless I'm really thinking about it😑

Hi David, nicely done 🙂
1) If you have manually paired one Microphone / Transmitter to another device by Bluetooth, e.g. your mobile phone, it will NOT automatically re-pair to the DJI receiver when you put everything back into the DJI case. You have to put the Mic / Transmitter into its WiFi, not Bluetooth pairing mode before the resync will work.
2) I would also set 32 bit record up as that gives you something to rescue with more latitude in post from the Microphone / Transmitter recording. Note: the 32 bit recording is on the Mic / Transmitter only, it is not in 32 bit format when being transmitted to the DJI receiver.
3) You can switch off the function of the PWR button on the Mic / Transmitter which allows you to switch-on or off the noise reduction, so that it doesn't accidentally allow it to be switched.
4) If you've set auto record to ON and locked the record button, you can stop / start the recording from the receiver.

Benefit of DJI clip retainer for the wire is that it will “lock” ANY lav mic. The Rode unit will only lock lav mics that have the lock. I suppose you could still wrap the wire around it’s clip if it fits without pinching the wire. Thanks for the helpful reviews!
The Rode is significantly brighter in the top end and so seems more ‘present’ than the DJI. I’m not keen on the shiny plastic finish of the Rode though tbh. Swings and roundabouts …..
I think that's totally right, the Rode's built in mic has a brighter presence in the top end. But this is also both straight out of the transmitters without any editing. Pulled into edit, you can pretty much make either of them sound how you want

I don't know about 1 being pared at a time. But if you keep them in Bluetooth for the pocket 3 then put them in the case, they 100% stayed paired to your pocket 3 when you take them out. They do not default back to the receiver
That routing path is more important for the longevity of the 90 degree connector than the "yank out" resistance. Trust me, back from the days of using wireless packs on my guitar...those 90 degree connections SUCK if they're not stabilized well. Flexing them back and forth nearly always ends up wearing it out, and boy howdy are those teeny tiny connectors difficult to rewire and repair. The routing detail behind the clip is a nice design feature to mitigate that for sure.
A super solid design element! Dual use, protect the cable and prevent pull outs👍
Fredo Heavy has a great dji mic post production video
I'm currently trying to decide between these mics. Even with the lo-cut filter off on the DJI I can still hear that the Rode audio quality is noticeably better even on computer speakers. Having said that I think all the packaging/UI advantages the DJI offers might offset it's slightly worse audio quality for me.
My EQ settings make the DJI Mic 2 sound like a SHURE SM7B
Whats your mic settings?
Tell us the chosen one!

Nice follow up.. I've been a Rode guy but I think I'm going to replace my current Go IIs with the new DJI setup..
IMHO you'll gain nothing by doing so, unless you find the new TX units sexy.
@DavidManningvlog : I saw your informative video. However I have an important question which I didn't find the answer anywhere yet. ...Can I put a 3.5mm jack to DJI Mic 2's LINE-IN input (like a Lav mic can be inserted), from a music concert's audio mixer's output, to record the crystal clear audio (full music), not just a talking person's audio/speech? If yes, what would be the best settings in DJI Mic 2? And, if this can be done, I guess, that final mixer's audio can be entered into DJI Osmo Pocket 3's video recording too -- right? Please test and let me know. Thanks in advance.
Can the Rode Mic II work without the receiver connected to a Insta359 X4 ?
Oh my, what a blast! I watched to the end. Your humble honesty and humor made my day. Then there was the DJIs, Thanks!
I must say the clarity of your voice on the rode in the beginning comparison there is way way way better. Just off the bat.
Can you please compare the lav mics using both of these? I’d love to see which system sounds better using the lav mic. Thanks!
It will have to do more with the mics used than with the transmitter. I have a Sennheiser AVX lav mic which costs about 1200 Euro, and it connects fine with the DJI Mic 2 transmitter.
One thing I think is worth mentioning is that the lav mic is an extra expense with the DJI Mic 2, but you get two lav mics included with the RØDE wireless Pro...
Yeah, if you look at the packages side by side, and factor in the price of 2 dji lavs, the Dji mic 2 is actually more expensive than the Røde package - dji costs less money for «a» package, but more expensive if you want lavs as well
Definitely a bonus on the Rode side and on the DJI side, the bonus is being able to buy the same product in multiple arrangements all the way down to just a transmitter for $99
@@DavidManningvlog Just too bad they couldn’t match the value of the Røde combo with lavs, which give you more options for less money :/ The Dji TX + RX combo is pretty good value for someone starting out just like me, not really needing the case and the extra mic, but a lav in there would have made it a perfect combo
You will also need to purchase a case or mount if using rode with iPhone and that white cable if you still have a lightning port.
@@DavidManningvlog that bonus diminishes though when you can’t do internal recording if buying just mic to connect to phone via bluetooth, and the mic not working with the iphone native video app via bluetooth, and not being able to disable the low cut filter with just the mic, or enable 32bit float with just the mic if using it as a standalone recorder *and* the audio via bluetooth to iphone quality is really sub-par. so the 1 tx and 1 rx combo is the only viable option for full feature set, but then one discovered the tx built in mic is noticably duller/muffled than the røde, and you need to buy a lav mic as well for the tx and then your close to the price of the 2 tx and 1 rx combo, which when buying 2 lavs in addition is more expensive then the røde set, which has slightly brighter audio on the wireless lav out of the box *and* comes with to wired lavs …
Which mic was which during the mystery mic test?
Rode Wireless Pro :D
Can I only buy one mic to pair with my action 5 pro And don’t buy transmitter?
Do you mean can you buy one transmitter without having to buy receiver? Yes
maaan, that cable pulling scenes killed me.
@6:22 is not quite right. From a footnote on DJI's website: When the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, internal recording is not available.
Can someone explain please? I was expecting to buy mic and that will make it to sound great. But when I hear samples of mic it sounds awful. Do I really have to do poster for sound? Or am I missing something? (Yes I have no fracking idea :D ) Thank you Love you forever.
Just get a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and decided to dump my Rode Wireless GO II for the full DJI Mic 2 kit. I'm so surprised to see how much smaller the DJI Mic TX/RX is in person versus the Rode. That doesn't really come through on all the videos. Also loving the ability to change all the settings right on the TX itself and not have to use an app.
Not sure if you know this, but once you pair each DJI Mic 2 to both the receiver and the OM3, you can toggle which link is active. Yes, every time you put it in the charging case and take it out it will be active in receiver (regular camera) mode, but you just toggle the button on the side to switch it to Bluetooth. You don't have to actually go through the Bluetooth pairing process over and over.
I don't use timecode, so having one mic system that works both with the OP3 and my Nikon wireless camera, for simplicity, is worth any slight differences between the two mic systems.
Please tell me which one is better rode pro or dji 2 please reply
I dont know english language
to be fair, it's kinda on DJI for shipping the mic 2 with settings you can't change if you buy the stand-alone mic 2. It doesn't even have 32 bit float on as default. If you buy the mic 2 to use it with something other than an action 4 or mic receiver, you can't change any of the settings.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. BTW you were not the only one not checking the low pass filter setting. There are many reviews out there were the DJI MIC 2 sounds a lot "weaker" then the Rode Pro. I just realized how much beter the sound from your main mic is compared to the DJU Mic. Whats your Mic/Sound setup?
Hello, I have a question. What will the DM2's noise-canceling audio look like now that low cut is off?
Thank you and continue a good job.
Another tip: the BT audio quality is not as good as the standard mode. Record onboard the transmitter and use the BT audio in the video to sync up to the internal recording.
If connected with a smartphone via bluetooth the internal recording feature is disabled on the transmitter, I made a video about it a couple of weeks back - dji «informs» you about this hidden pretty well on the website :/ So only good quality option without the receiver is *not* connecting the mic to the smartphone, use internal recording, and then sync in post :/
@@AndreSjoberg Maybe you had an older firmware version? My Mic 2 does record internally fine, even when connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth.
@@valuemastery latest firmware on release, and latest firmware updated when it came some days ago - not sure how yours can record internally while connected to your smartphone since dji states it doesn’t on their website: «5. When the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, internal recording is not available.» Is you mic showing a steady blue light and you are recording in an app on the phone, while the recording light shows steady red? Because your mic can be «connected» via bluetooth and record internally, *if you are not actually recording in a camera app* on the phone - as soon as the mic is actively recording to an app on the phone it won’t record internally :)
Thanks for this video. I cant get in one thing - at 7:58 farmgent with noise rediction - is this setting activated on mic/transmitter itself and will be applied to transmitted signal to reciver AND to inplace record? Or just to transmitted? I think about to get one reciver only to record audio internally on the bike with GoPro 12 - I just dont need reciver - its bulky with silly "media mode".
Is it possible to just use a DJI Transmitter, record audio on internal SC card. Then use post to manage audio. For my application, I need a mic to record on person and don't have a requirement for a 'receiver'. Or other options?.. Thank you
8:56 Noise Reduction via bluetooth only works if the paired device has Wind Reduction internally such as thr DJI Pocket 3/Insta360 X3, DJI Action 4. I've paired my Mic 2 to my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra via Bluetooth and the noise/wind reduction does not work as the camera/voice recorder apps don't have that feature.
So if a person is a smartphone content creator...they will need to pick up the kit that has the Rx in order to have Noise Reduction
I am really glad that the DJI MIC2 came together with the Creative Combo. I will not get the receiver, since I am always going to have it paired with my OSMO Pocket 3. But I bought an extra MIC2 ... the white one ... and have it paired to my iPhone (as standard). And I still love my Røde Wireless Pro kit, and will still use those as main audio kit together with my Mirrorless cameras. :)
I'm also thinking about getting 2 DJI Mic2s, but was wondering if you can access all the settings (like disabling the low cut filter) without the receiver. Can you confirm if all the settings are available without the receiver? Thanks!
The DJI set being in one box whereas the Rode has 2 soft cases to hold everything is significant when packing. Also, being able to do the settings on the DJI screen looks more convenient than having to access an app. Can the DJI files be deleted using File Explorer? Apparently the Rode files need the app. 👍😎🇳🇿✨
Do you have to use the transmitter to access the low pass filter? Can you access the setting on the Pocket 3 or app? Thank you.
The low pass filter setting can be accessed through the menu of the Pocket 3.
Thank you!
What an intro on this DGI video 🎉 🙌
Dude, SO many DGI's when I started editing this🤣
It shows you care more about your viewers than bring right. Appreciate that David, thanks.
I have a Sennheiser MKE2 lav mic and I routed mine under that little clip on the transmitter and it worked for 15 minutes then no more. I checked it with my other equipment and I didn't short the mic - but will not work on the transmitter anymore. Maybe think twice about routing yer lav under it. Just sharing my experience. Great video. Merci.
It sounds a lot better after the latest firmware update also, I was using just the transmitter and it sounded like noise reduction was on all the time and it's much better now, My guess is with the transmitter only it defaulted to the low cut but didn't show it in the camera menu.
David which one was Mystery Mic Number 2?
What is the general recording time for both before you get drift.
im so torn between these two, i think I prefer the audio sound of the rode wireless pros, but the transmitter interface and style on DJI system looks so much nicer. and having the option for a white transmitter for wedding dresses is also very ideal. thanks for the update!
Spend 30 minutes developing an EQ preset and you can get the DJI sounding great (same with the RODE). I do wish DJI sounded better out of the box.
Personally the Rode Wireless Pro has more longevity and better investment than the DJI Mic 2
Turning the low pass on by default when a large percentage of your customers arent professional audio folks seems a bit daft.
Professional audio folk here, I would NEVER turn a lpf on at the source. The only circumstance for that might be if it was a live broadcast and there was no other way to cut the lows (ie mixer) and I was worried about something like excessive wind or background noise. You don't get the lows back if you change your mind later.
@@todddammit4628 Professional audio folk here too ;-) there is actually one use case for the LCF (it's not a LPF) at the source, namely when the rumbling noises are so severe that they would clip your recording. But otherwise, I think you're completely right.
(of course in that case it would be best to identify and remove the cause for the rumbling, but if not possible -> LCF)
@@oppenheimer11 Sure. You need timecode when you simultaneously make several recordings from the same event, for example shooting video from different angles with a multi-camera setup, or recording audio independent from in-camera audio (or even with multiple mic channels). You need a way to synchronize all these recordings in editing. Doing this by hand can be challenging and time consuming. So, when you record synchronized time code with all your recordings, be it video or audio, post production will be a lot easier.
When you only have one camera, and connect the mic to the camera, you won't need timecode - the camera will record video and audio in perfect sync. But as soon as you use external audio recorders (even the one that is built into the mic), you run in synchronization issues. There are professional audio recorders that record a timecode along with your audio. However, DJI Mic 2 can not do it on its own.
@@oppenheimer11 No need to start recording at the same time. In professional setups, a world clock is used. It's a small device that runs a clock and can send a clock signal to cameras and audio recorders, so they don't use their internal clocks, and instead record all the same time signal from the world clock. Professional cameras and audio recorders have a clock input, but that means that you have to run wires for the clock signal across all your recording devices on set. In editing, the editing software recognizes the clock signal embedded in all input files (video files and audio files), and automatically synchronizes them perfectly.
If you don't want to run cables from the world cock to all recorders, you can shortly connect every device to the clock, and then disconnect. The cameras and audio recorders adjust their internal clocks to the world clock, and then continue to use their internal clocks. But over time there will be drift, so it's maybe good for the next two hours before you have to connect again.
In earlier days, when no world clocks where used, filml makers used "claps". These are small chalksboards, where scene numbers where written on, and then (after recording started) the clap below the board was used to make a short click/clap noise. Later in editing, you can see the moment of the clap on video, and hear it in the audio files. So video ond audio where shifted to snychronize the clap event at the beginning of recording, resulting video and audio to by in sync.
If you don't want to use a clap, you can simply manually shift your audio on the timeline until you feel that speach is lip-synced. But today's editor sofftware such as Fincal Cut Pro X offer a automatic function to do it for you, if you have embedded audio in the video. It works like this: Record good audio with the Mic2 on the person you want to record. At the same time, the video camera records video+audio, but that audio recording is not good to be used in the final output, because it is not near enough to the recorded person. However, it is good enough for the editing software to automatically sync the Mic recording with the camera audio.
How was it in music festival open field concert?
I appreciate you so much. You’re giving us all the info! Answering questions and correcting yourself when you make a mistake. I really like these wireless mics. Trying to decide if I need them (I want them for sure) and whether to get the DJI or the Rode…. 🤔
Biggest question for me was, why was the low cut on as default? just discovered that myself over the weekend. Also noticeably lower gain levels than my other mics. DJI law mic still out of stock in the UK, looking forward to picking one of those up.... thanks David! appreciate the video.
Two major questions so I use a GoPro hero 12 how many mics can I use at one time and is the audio that is recording into the GoPro the audio from the mics or would it be the audio from the GoPro? How do I synchronize both do I do it in post or is it already done upon the recording in the GoPro?
Thanks for this. Your original video was one of many that caused me to cancel my order because I could not stand the audio out of the DM2. I agree that this is kind of (mostly) DJI's fault. This high-pass filter should NOT have been on by default. I know the DM1 had that, and I turned it off. Rode did not have this filter that I noticed. I don't recall the filter having such a huge effect on the DM1 audio, but my memory could betray me. So now, I have one issue with the DM2. The big-ass logo and reflective case that is also transparent showing the texture + detail of the electronics. The Rode suffered from this nonsense too, but I found some matte stickers on Etsy to cover it up. A lav mic should not be a distraction, and draw no much attention to itself than what is absolutely necessary.
So here's a question......
I use my DSLR sometimes, then my phone and then my GoPro and the audio can be drastically different between the three. So which mic's would be better for internal recording? My phone makes a horrible hiss sound so I have to edit the audio. My GoPro generally always sounds as good as my DSLR but with my current mic, the audio can start to fade and sound like in a well then immediately goes back to normal. My devices or my cheaper mics? I use Synco currently but really would like a good set that will record internally. Suggestions/recommendations?
Great post, well done ! Got it with pocket3 creator combo, but i noticed that when i play the video in the mimo app, my voice comes with a small delay after my lips move :P How could i fix this ?
I could still easily tell which one was which. Myster mic 2 was the Rode, which still sounds much better than the DJI, and that's with laptop speakers. But it is closer now without the low cut engaged.
Yep and this is also straight out of the mics. In post, you can pretty much make either of them sound how you would like. Both super solid mics!
I wonder how many purchasers really want to have to mess with the eq in post. I sure wouldn't.@@DavidManningvlog
Especially when one mic already sounds how you want it to sound. But unfortunately, I will have to get the DJI mics because I have the pocket 3 and action 4 so it makes more sense. The Rode mic just sounds better.
@@sirgigolo you can use the road wireless Pro with your pocket 3. Yes, you need to plug-in the receiver, but is very easy to put a cold shoe adapter on the back of it.
David, thank you for your wonderful insights, very useful.
Can you use the DJI Mic 2 via bluetooth directly with Insta360 One RS module, without the receiver? If so, does the internal recording work simultaneously?
I haven't tested it with the ONE RS yet, but it for sure works directly with the Ace Pro. I'll try with the ONER RS and get back to you
I found this in a footnote on DJI's website: When the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, internal recording is not available. HTH
First off I really have enjoyed the dji mic 2 after removing the settings you spoke about. So when I grabbed the dji lav i was shocked at all my audio issues. Terrible sound. BUT when paired with a Rode Lav II it sounded fantastic. Odd but a great pair.
Awesome video again David I am just wondering does the dji mic 2 work with the gopro hero 12 using Bluetooth
Thanks for the update. Any hacks for the terrible design choice of shiny front plastic and bright logo? Kind of the opposite way Rode went?
I am looking at these seriously but the clear plastic gives me concerns since clear plastic is usually weaker than coloured.
Got to seriously wonder what your doing if more strength is required than the clear plastic gives. I have been climbing and banging one of my units into rock and had no problem other than a couple of cosmetic scratches.
@@ChrisNewham the strength is a side effect however my biggest concern is how not-subtle the updated branding is. Bright logo on shiny front plastic is not exactly discreet.
@@yeeisme I don't like the prominent branding either I got a tiny paint brush and painted the DJI logo black so its no longer really visible but for my use case I mainly use the lav anyway so the bright branding isn't an issue.
It’s totally fine to be wrong once in a while. I’m an audiophile so I still prefer the rode mic. The wireless go transmitter also records internally just like the dji. And the rode logo is a bit inconspicuous unlike the dji which is right in your face screaming look at me.
Lol - is it that difficult to take a black sharpie to the logo if you're that bothered by it, as opposed to the larger, shiny square that weighs down the wearer's shirt, blouse, whatever more than the DJI?
Thanks for the update. I'm curious as I had linked one of my Transmitters to my camera and I charge it in the case and it does not automatically re-link to the Receiver. Perhaps I don't leave it in the case long enough when I open it?
I'm a big fan of your content and I'm reaching out for some advice. I'm in need of a wireless solution to monitor audio, especially when I'm away from the camera or receiver. Could you recommend any reliable systems that offer wireless monitoring compatibility with headphones? I'm open to any wireless headphone options. Thanks in advance for your help!
Awesome video! And your responsible attitude admitting that you're wrong and correcting them is very admirable!
Why are you holding the mics instead of clipping them to your jacket?
Already bought the Rode Pro, just think it sounds better overall. Just wish it had the features of the DJI mic. Bottom line is sound for me though.
Will it connect to action3?
I don’t see why you can’t pair with the receiver and the Osmo pocket. I believe you can have one Bluetooth pairing and to the receiver and change between these modes on the transmitters. It works with my phone but haven’t tested with the Osmo.
The problem I have with the noise reduction is, as you talk it lets in that background noise so then you get a see/saw effect to the background audio which for me is very distracting, I'd much rather do it in post where the software is wayyyy better at the noise reduction. But yes, others may not care about that or even notice it. I like what I'm seeing with this DJI mic 2, seems though the next version will be better as hopefully they will add ability to download both transmitter onboard audio from the case directly, but I do love that the DJI has setting and control directly on the DJI is huge, so I'm going to buy the Mic 2, but I also hope they improve their lavs because the Rode is much flatter and lower profile which I like.
Thanks for your honesty. We all make mistakes.
Awesome video very informative! Looking to wear these when im bowling for my channel.
After going through 2 separate sets of DJI Mic 2's I had to return them. I was getting strange intermittent static & noise aberrations while using the DJI Lav Mic. Not sure what that's about, but I didn't trust it for my work related content. Sticking with the DJI Mic 1... I'm considering trying the Rode Wireless Pro, but don't like the whole cable thing for Smart Phones. Prefer the clean attachments from DJI... However, I think I have a work around for an adapter from another Mic set that would make the Rode Pro connect with a USB-C to USB-C attachment. Could you do a quick video with the low cut settings for the Rode. Curious sot see how that sounds on and off... with and without lav.
So, I got these mics and I paired my second mic to my DJI action 4 when I take it out of the case it stays connected to my action 4 it doesn't pair back to the receiver when I put it back into my case . I'm not sure if my set is not working right but, I actually like having it this way . I have one dedicated to work with the receiver and one dedicated to my action 4 without the need to keep pairing it back to my action 4.
Okay this is probably a dumb question 😅 do I turn the low pass filter on or off on the Rode Wireless Pro?
Thanks for the review and updates to your previous review. No shame in being wrong when you're cool enough to set the record straight.
I do wish a screw-on lav feature was an option for use with professional lav mics.
The built-in noise reduction constantly varies the sound quality which is destructive. Always best to apply noise reduction in post. Always.
It's great that filmmakers have so many compact and affordable options for audio. These may lack some of the features and performance of professional systems, but they are waaaay better than using on-camera microphones. Audio, is so, so, so very important. I'm glad that DJI is giving Rode some competition, which encourages improvements that users benefit from. Life is good.
Everyone else does not seem to have noticed the low filter (high pass filter) either. You make me realise that the DJI Mic is okay.
One issue with having the transmitter record locked on is that you can’t switch the transmitter into Bluetooth mode without going into settings on receiver and turning it off. (So if you want to hot swap from receiver to pocket 3 etc. you can’t do it easily) Also if your using Bluetooth on your iPhone / insata360 camera etc you can not record internally. For noise reduction I wish they would allow us to disable it completely. I have accidentally hit it a few times now. Otherwise, it is a great system, I think it’s more geared toward content creators than it is professionals, but for me, having ability to connect it to Bluetooth devices is what allows it to stay in my bag. I also have the rode wireless pro system but I don’t carry it unless it’s for specific reason..
Good video. My question is can you use both Mic 2 microphones via Bluetooth on the DJI Action 4 or does the 4’s Bluetooth only allow one mic at a time?
I can't tell for the Action 4, but I just checked with the Pocket 3, and there it is possible to use two of them via Bluetooth.
So, mistake #3 now, did you check hi cut (if there is one)? 😊 Rode sounds much more open with more hi frequencies, again not so close sounding mics.
2:39 Yeah no there's still a very district difference between the two mics in terms of sound and I do not even have my headphones on my laptop.
Where did you get your pants? I looooove them!
You're looking at the Lulu Lemon ABC joggers!

Great review and update. Ended up going with the Rode Wireless Pro since it was on sale for $369 at B&H and included two lav mics. The DJI would have been much more expensive since it doesn’t include lavs in any of the available kits from what I saw.
without a receiver how do I control those settings ?
what sunglasses are you wearing?
Blenders! They're a San Diego brand geni.us/DMBlenders
wait which mic did you use when recording at your bench?
That’s a Rode NTG3 just off camera
Thanks for adding these points. I just watched the other video before and was surprised that the Mic 2 just seemed to sound more flat and worse. This clears that pont up.
Also, great that you go and say "hey yeah I was wrong there", not many people can do that. That's big points in my book. 👍 Again, thanks!
Can you use more than 2 mics with the dji pocket 3
Good updated information 👍
On the very last note. I run one transmitter BT to my Action4 & it has never reconnected to the receiver in the case while charging. Pre or post firmware, maybe it’s a setting?
You need to set it back from Bluetooth mode to Receiver mode. While turned on, press and hold the record button in the mic. The connection LED will switch from blue (=Bluetooth mode) to green (=receiver mode), and connection with the receiver will function again.
@@valuemastery Thank you for the tip. Im happy it actually stays disconnected from the receiver for my use.👍
I have the dji mic 2 and have watched many videos already but I found this video very helpful. I thought the dji sounded more pleasing. I listened on Edifier speakers.
Really thinking about buying this now. Especially with the Sony Hotshoe adapter.
Can you tell how you set up sound,ty
Does anyone know if this mic 2 can record stereo to iPhone? As the mic 1 could only record mono through a lighting connection.
Dude, thanks for the update. Did you do a side by side comparison of the lavs in this video?
