Ok, so yes, 99% of your audience is probably going to be using these mics to record their voice... But hear me out on a different video topic: do a side by side capturing SFX. 1. No one else is doing this. 2. This can be a nice segue to introduce and encourage people to a whole new world of sound design as an art. 3. It'll serve as a fun, creative challenge to find the weird and interesting places you can mount the mics to get real world sounds. 4. We can see how these mics hold up in these scenarios
By the way the Rode wireless pro works with all cameras... I use it with the ace pro 2...worls perfectly... Also, I have dji micro as well... Love both of them... It's just easier to pop out the rode and connect than the Dji mini... But I Love the size of the mini
HL M2 is the winner to my ears. Tone is deeper, audio is louder, and its size beats the other two, it’s unobtrusive, no in-your-face branding and the price is just right for folks like me. 🤑😎🤑 And yet, I wouldn’t recommend the HL M2 due to the flawed wind muff engineering, which is to say it’s practically impossible to get it on.
I love the DJI Mic Mini. I bought just one transmitter to use with my Pocket 3 and Action 5. It works great! But I still like my DJI Mic 2 so I can plug in a lav mic and hide it. Great video. - Ed
I think the Lark M2 sounds the best. But I have the DJI Mic 2 that came with my pocket combo. But I use the lark with my 15 pro max and the mic 2 with the pocket. Bug really like the sound of the lark with your comparison.
Oh man, that drone is the best! I've got a bunch of drones around here, but almost anytime I go out, I grav the Mini 4 Pro. As for tips and tricks, nothing too crazy, that drone is super easy to use. For sure grab some ND filters for it and if you can do some editing in post, shoot in D-Log M mode for the best quality!
The Lark is louder but I don’t think it’s better. DJI sounds fine but personally I think the Rode is more pleasant sounding. It’s clear and not amplified sounding like the Lark sounds.
I always think and the situation I need noise cancelation is in a crowd environment, where everybody talks, but I only want one person's voice..that should be the best condition to test noise cancelation...
Thanks David... Watched a short on the Hollyland and then checked in with you... So glad I did... The pros and cons much better here.. ease of use matters, don't know why it isn't always a major consideration... ✊🎄
We're all gonna feel stupid once they add 32bit float + internal recording to any of these form factors, cause you know it possible they're just artificially limiting the feature to sell more units.
Great test David. I was hoping somebody would make a test like this. I only have some of those mics so I was not able to test them against each other. Cheers from LA.
The DJI mic mini would’ve been the ultimate package if it included a dedicated receiver for a smartphone. Their receiver is too bulky and cumbersome for a smartphone.
I never got a feel for its size until I saw it in person. It is much smaller and lighter than I imagined from what I’ve been seeing on TH-cam. Although still no match for the Hollyland.
@ First…he says the pros and cons of each item on every video. Secondly, he doesn’t say buy this or buy that…he explains who would want to buy each product. Thirdly, DJI has taken over the action camera industry and has set the pace for the past 3 years and although Go Pro will always be King and the action camera people mention first (in terms of people that don’t own an action camera), they have forced other action camera companies to keep pace with them. Competition is good for quality and keeping the price low as possible. As for the mic…I have the DJI Mic and love it. Looks a bit odd when connected to my Action 3 but I don’t think DJI was thinking having the Mic connected to an action camera.
How can the lack of space in a case for wind muffs be a “big note”, yet you don’t even comment on DJIs terrible receiver? This is a well produced review, but holy hell is it biased.
To my ears.. DJI MIC MINI wins.. It depends on your sound preference..
I ordered DJI Mic Mini.. 👌

Just got the DJI mini for Xmas and can’t wait to play with it!

I like the mic mini prob the most. I do like the accessories that come with with Hollyland

Basically the sound test is splitting hairs. It all comes down to price and personal preference.
I think the Lark M2 sounds the best. But I have the DJI Mic 2 that came with my pocket combo. But I use the lark with my 15 pro max and the mic 2 with the pocket. Bug really like the sound of the lark with your comparison.
THE comparison I've been waiting for!
In this category DJI mic 2 is still the best choice with build in Memory and the option to use a lav mic
Awesome! Love you reviews! Just got the mini 4 pro drone for Christmas and it is awesome! Do you have any tips on it and any unknown features?
Oh man, that drone is the best! I've got a bunch of drones around here, but almost anytime I go out, I grav the Mini 4 Pro. As for tips and tricks, nothing too crazy, that drone is super easy to use.

@ ok is the 1 billion colors already in the videos or how do you get that?
The Lark is louder but I don’t think it’s better. DJI sounds fine but personally I think the Rode is more pleasant sounding. It’s clear and not amplified sounding like the Lark sounds.
Great test. To my ears Rode sounds the best.
The Lark M2 also has 2 levels when using the phone app as well.
I actually got the Lark M2 for $100 on black friday so not a bad deal at all
I saw it for $90 bucks on Amazon.
I always think and the situation I need noise cancelation is in a crowd environment, where everybody talks, but I only want one person's voice..that should be the best condition to test noise cancelation...
Wow, you’re good! 👍

Another TH-camr called the Hollyland Lark Windmuff the sea urchin. That's all I can see now 😂
DJI nails it once again. I'm surprised their competitors are still operating to be honest.
I tried and returned the Lark M2 it just wouldn't connect to my PC also their announcement to not support PC software put me off by them.
Oh cool! I really like these comparations videos 🙏

Wait what? Never know about that triangle at the back when using the wind muff I normally ease it off then position it, thanks!👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Great test David. I was hoping somebody would make a test like this. I only have some of those mics so I was not able to test them against each other.

Can the dji mic connect to an Ace Pro, since it has bluetooth connectivity?
Man!!! Love The Way You Compared The Sound Quality Of These Wireless Mics!! 🎬🎬🎬

Correct, and the audio is the worst
I never got a feel for its size until I saw it in person. It is much smaller and lighter than I imagined from what I’ve been seeing on TH-cam. Although still no match for the Hollyland.
@@edittide9842 Yeah it is. The bigger concern is that it’s more likely to get knocked or bumped which could damage the phone or receiver.
the rode sounds the worst in my opinion, the hollyland sounds the loudest but the dji sounds the most natural
Rode > Hollyland > DJI
I don’t hear enough of a difference in sound quality.
There absolutely is a huge sound difference. Don’t be thrown by this video though - this is heavily pro-DJI

Comparing sound quality during the ad read is brilliant.

This is a well produced review, but holy hell is it biased.
The Rode does NOT only link to a phone. What are you talking about? It connects to ANYTHING that has USB C. Such a biased video.
