Gear is great but storytelling is what will take your videos to the next level! Make sure you check out this video on how to tell a story: th-cam.com/video/KdsWzPMCv7w/w-d-xo.html
Just a small addition, for people recording on an iPhone all the stereo recording is out the window. It’s all mixed to mono BUT the input from the two transmitters will be more important since you can’t change it in your edit.
@@Gesuenderfitterleben several possible reasons. You could have the cable plugged into the headphone jack rather than the output. The cable could be bad or the mic setting in your camera might be wrong. I’m not familiar with your camera so I don’t have any suggestions for the settings.
Thanks! Believe it or not, I bought the DJI Mic 9/22/22 and just used it today (8/13/23) for the first time. I have a horrible habit of buying ahead of my skill set ... I watched this video at least once after buying and watched again this morning before my first go ... actually using the transmitter only for voice over. Very happy and this video helped me a lot! I know it is a year old video but I am a year behind. Your channel is a huge resource/reference for me as I slowly learn video technique, video editing and storytelling. Thank you, Jevon!
I do a simmaler thing but difrent. i have a sony FX30, and a lense 25mm F1.4, and a Sony tuff card. But i dont have a Mic, ND filters, Spear battarys. Spear SD or CFast card. or the money to buy them. still recovoring from the camera lol. So im slowly buying the equitment i need. Next is a mic and i cant decide between a shotgun and a wiless mic.
@@kempy2 Did you watch Jeven's TH-cam on the new Sony Wireless? No, I did not buiy :_) ... but it looks great! I am using my DJI Mic(s) and also caught up on learning and using new 360 cameras. Also on video editing. Slowly but surely progressing! Cheers
Oh my Zeus- I do the same thing! I'm sitting on several DJI and Sony items (mics, drones, lenses, etc) that I've had for months/years without using them.
I am an older user--in many years old--and doing interviews and 'other things' in my community and for my community. I made the purchase of the DJI mic and you have been extremely helpful in getting me going. If I could give 2 thumbs up, I would do it.
These things are nuts. As someone who's been doing production for 20+ years, I cannot believe how these work, and all the little details they got right. And they're SO SMALL. Great video. These are coming on sunday and I feel like I know exactly how to use them already thanks to your video.
Seeing as they plug into the input jack on the camera are they already beaten to the audio of the video clip you’re recording? Or do you have to sync it up to the video once you pull in the audio clips from the transmitter? I was hoping it would be baked in as well
I love mine and think the same as the OP. Just nuts how great these are compared to the old clunky metal ones. I can't see ever going back. They sync and bam, also onboard recording are you serious? amazing. It rolls with your video when you plug it into the mic hole. The nav recording is for back up yes you will have to sync that way. @@ryansulak
You did an absolutely superb job on this tutorial. Not even DJI could have done a better job. I just got this microphone set and I am watching your tutorial three times to fully grasp all this system can do. I am even more impressed with this kit because of your instructional video. Outstanding job and thank you again.
Thank you so much!!! This was amazing, I've had my DJI mic for almost a year and have only touched it twice. This video taught me sooooo much!!! I'm happy to call myself one of your new fans!
Cannot thank you enough for this great deep dive. I was so close to boxing mine back up and returning them (actually had them boxed up with the return label). Decided to search one last time for an in-depth tutorial. Found yours and discovered a LOT more about the system than I knew, including some things I was doing wrong. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. It definitely got me off the "ship back ledge" and now looking forward to using them. Thanks dude!
fantastic video Jeven! very informative. i recently bought the DJI mic. this is the first informational TH-cam video i've watched about how to use them. thank you!
I was initially reluctant to watch a 30+ minute video. Glad I did. Now I can't wait to get these... just four more days. Thanks for the awesome information.
This was literally the perfect video for these. I just got the DJI Mic myself and every second of this guide was helpful information. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
Amazing wireless mic system. It's super easy to use. The only confusion people might have is using the Mono and Stereo modes with one or two mics. Mono one mic - records dual mono track (1 person talking) No post audio editing needed) Mono two mics - mixes both mono tracks into a single stereo track (two people talking at the same time) No post audio editing needed. Stereo one mic - records only the left channel (you have to duplicate this track in post to have stereo sound) Stereo two mics - send the L and R channel individually to the receiver and you have a single stereo track (not practical for recording two people as you will have one person on the L and the second on the R . You have to mix the channels in post to have Stereo) The easiest way to see how this works is plug your headphones into the receiver and get your mics out, change from mono to stereo, play with the options and you will see how it changes the sound and channels live. I am using this with a Sony A7III and the audio input level on my camera is set at 3.
I so appreciate you posting this clarification. My head spins trying to get this concept straight. I understand Mono vs Stereo. What I don't understand is which I want to record for talking-head types of personal (non-commercial) videos. Your explanation gives me the how. Now all I need is the why and your parentheses notes almost get me there. I'm printing your comment and will read it twice a day until my 💡turns on. Thank you.
@@jer3006 You are welcome! Basically every microphone is producing a dual-mono track so it can be used in any stereo audio systems. The DJI mic gives us more flexible options for the audio channels for the the more advanced users. 99% of the time your DJI mics will be in Mono mode.
@@jolebole-yt Well, you helped again with another "pin" for my map in figuring out audio and how I need to use my DJI Wireless Mic kit. Your posts are exactly why I browse through the comments of a video- that's where I find the real nuggets of information from actual users. Thank you.
This was like a Masterclass! Huge amounts of very helpful and relevant information. I've been trying to decide on an external mic for videos I'm making for a travel agent. Thanks for helping me decide. I'm in!
Maybe it has been mentioned/asked already, @16:25 you talk about both mics being mixed and having no way of remixing. If you have the backup recording on, then you will have the opportunity to use separate audio tracks for each mic, or am I thinking wrong?
I'm using these to help me record better audio lectures from my college classes. The form factor and feature base made me pick these over the Rode Wireless Go II, despite my love for their other products. Thank you for such an in-depth video, I'm not only inspired by your production, but will also be subscribing. Again, thank you so much!
I just got this system yesterday as I am now adding interviews to my photography workflow. I watched all the way through and learned a lot. Thank you so much. I also do a lot of drone work and now I can easily just bring this with me to record that auto to later add to my otherwise silent drone videos. You're the best and many thanks!
ONE HELPFUL THING YOU DIDN'T SAY that I discovered, regarding brightness: Inside the transmitter settings is a setting for LED brightness. This gives two options as to those darn green and red lights that are not preferable when filming up close; just press the left one for dimmer setting. Or maybe I have a later version that has this option and that's why you didn't cover it? Thanks SO MUCH for this video, it was super helpful for understanding everything else!
Excellent, comprehensive guide for this mic setup. But, I have a question. I noticed you're using a Sony 7 series camera and have the receiver set to +1. What audio level did you set the Sony camera? Thank you!
Just picked this system up. Great video. iPhone users beware: the lightning connector is mono only, so if you want to edit each track separately you have to use the track recorded on the transmitters.
Hi mate quick question for you, did you get the right angle audio cable like he has? I just got mine today and it’s a normal straight jack (not a big deal but would’ve preferred the angled one)
@@ScottyInVancouver If you are using both transmitters, iOS will only record a mixed mono track in the video so when you go to edit you can't split the audio for editing. The work around is that the transmitters can also record and you have to import that track and sync it. I am not sure if that's a DJI issue or iOS issue.
@@the.i.p.address I see! So basically it's be like one single line of 2 ppl mix audio? But work around is just use the dji mic built in storage function to record audio separately and sync in post later?
Incredibly detailed video! I really appreciate the depth you went into for all the features and configurations. The workflow section was also very helpful. Thank you!
Thank You! I received my DJI MIC yesterday and found your channel this morning. I had no idea the amount of features this system includes, buying the mics was more to separate from the camera while recording is my main intention but you have alerted me many other possibilities!
Super excited about these mics. Just did my first talking heads video and it will also be a staple at wedding ceremonies for me. The ability to record the groom and officiant and have back ups in case the feed into the camera bugs out is just that extra level of confidence. Love it!
TH-cam ads are insane now. Im getting almost 2 ads pop up while watching your video per minute. Always great content Javen. Im convinced, I need to get this DJI MIC. Thanks for putting this together.
So annoying. I had to break down and pay the TH-cam monthly fee to get rid of the ads. My life is so much more pleasant now but it is a cost I wish I didn't have to pay. Sadly, it means I can't contribute as much to the actual content makers.
This was a very through and informative video, thanks for making it! I have the DJI Mic myself and while I thought I knew the basics pretty well, I did get some new information and ideas about this video. And I'll have to say that, for instance, the tip for using the DJI Action 2 magnetic mounts to attach the DJI Mic transmitter to a stand is quite an inventive and clever idea. Once more, thanks for this and keep up the good work!
Hey Jeven, just got mine yesterday. One heads up is that the production units being shipped have a simple drawstring pouch, not that nice zippered pouch/organizer. Really excited to test this thing out! Update: made a video about this and these mics on my channel as well. Excellent piece of kit!
I just got my mics, and when im monitoring the audio its echoed. What's your experience monitoring your audio? When I monitor the audio with my zoom h6 its a great experience. What you're hearing is exactly what you're getting. But when I monitor the audio from my dji mics it has a slight echo. And its not a solid representation of what I am actually recording. Any thoughts or recommendations on this would be super helpful. Thank you
@@idontfilm I actually haven't tried monitoring yet on the DJI Mic since it's usually just me filming myself. I'll give it a shot when I can and see if I get an echo as well.
@@AustinGreeneExplores I just got done filming some content at work. I had my the mics at -3db. Everything did come out great. But when I live monitored them it just doesn't sound like the final product baked into the video. Like I said its echoed. I guess moving forward ill just pre record some test samples, review it, and go from there.
I bought these the other day because of your excellent coverage and received them today. They are super nice. I am coming from the Hollyland Lark set. They are fine. I wanted a non-lapel set which i guess they are very similar. Owning both, I like this set much better the phone attachment is huge. I will be using them in a one one one and three person scenario. I thought about using two and a Saramonic mixer on camera. But then I thought why not place them on mini tripod like at 33:18 and just have them in between subject and do a mic test prior to and check the levels to make sure each subject is receiving okay.
Great info! Thanks for making this. So Far i’m using these mics for both short films and also for improv where 2 actors can walk freely around the stage and have their audio captured cleanly. The problems i’m working on troubleshooting still are the transmitter gain for loudness, muffless, and echo in a loud space. Otherwise I love These mics so far! Thanks for making the video!
I love how no one is mentioning the horrible Hiss sound that's coming from the transmitter with a lot of Lavalier Mics (like the Rode Lavalier GO) that makes the sound unusable. Maybe that's the reason it got delayed a million times, probably DJI is aware of that and tries to fix it before release. Some yt channels mention it briefly and still praise this to heaven - sorry but most of the people don't want to attach a huge transmitter to the shirt of your interview partner, that doesn't look professional. If this is fixed it's an awesome device, but until then this not usable for a lot of content creators.
Yes, you need certain lavaliers that don't bring any "interference" noise, not hiss. Bought the Saramonic lavaliers with it, one being white and the other being black depending on the clothing, with my fingers crossed!
@@Bo_Hazem ...yes it's interference noise, but it happens with a lot of Lavalier Mics paired only with the dji mic. These mics work fine with the Rode WGII. If you already own a 100$ mic and suddenly get interference noise only with the dji mic that's definitely a bummer
Coustomer service at dji are not helpful, they took almost 3 months to ship my package. Other than that it suck the recivier will not connect to my iPhone with my heavy duty case.
Dude, this was so helpful; thank you! I just picked this up and have used it for 2 videos. For some reason both transmitters were at -12db…now I know how to bring this up!
29:50 Transmitter Gain vs. Receiver Gain If you need a gain in dB a transmitter gain is always favourable. Why that? As we know the DJI mic is a good standalone recording device. If you choose this option in some cases, the volume is than already increased. If, on the other hand, you have decided to use receiver gain or a mix of both and then record with the microphone, you have to increase the volume accordingly in post-processing. There is no downside to using only the transmitter gain function. Conclusion: Transmitter Gain > Receiver Gain.
I do a lot of work with the local community school of the arts and a couple of theater companies. I purchased the DJI Mic to help with recording audition videos for actors, pre and post show interviews, and back-up audio for public speakers that I am shooting during their presentation. This is vey convenient and a lot more versatile compared to using a shotgun microphone.
As a professional photographer, now getting into video, I found your video on DJi Mic and its functions invaluable, including all the pro tips you share with your followers. Thank you.
Amazing video. I just bought the same mic two days back. I was too lazy to look at the manual to know the features. After seeing your video, i felt so comfortable and confident to use this. Keep up your good work sir.
6:20 thanks for telling me that there is a back up. Just discovered my lost file. I plugged it in and there it was. I almost returned the mic because I thought I lost it. Apparently, it was an issue with my 16 pro max. I am learning a lot from this tutorial. This whole DJI set is at least 2 years old. I wonder if I should anyway return this and get the new one.
I got so much great info from this video. You have a really calm but enthusiastic delivery that is easily tolerated for 37 minutes. Thank You. BTW, I intend to use these with the new Osmo Pocket 3 and a custom designed small rig cage.
I have a GoPro 11 and use the DJI external mike all the time. I used to have the Rode wireless mike and used their hand microphone with the large sponge like cover. NOW, when I need a hand mike, I use the Rode hand mike with the wind protector and slide an external mike right on the mount. It works perfectly.
Many thanks Jeven, this is an excellent and very clear explanation of how to use the DJI Mic. All very clear and answers so many doubts one might have. Thank you for taking the time to do this and help others.
I viewed both your video on DJI Mic and Rode wireless Go 2. Just want to say thank you for such detail content. I have never use a system like this before, your video just clear a lot of fogs in my mind. Thank you.
the back up feature is awesome.Loving the fact you arent bound to the receiver. I shoot both stills and video at weddings and being able to skip those steps and know I'm getting the audio is going to be a game changer
I just like the backup recording just in case something isn't working on my phone end. Just used it yesterday for the very first time and I deleted the backup audio after I've noticed that everything went ok. Now I just need to adjust the audio volumes to get a louder sound for the next video.
It's a great tutorial on DJi Mic. One thing i want to ask you is whether i can use it in a class room lecture i.e. video recording of my my lecture and atr the same time connect it to a speaker like Bose S1 Pro portable speaker or the like ?
Jeven, this is a very helpful video. I like the chapter markers for specific info after watching the whole video once. I have one issue with my DJI that I haven't resolved. When I am not talking for a bit and then start talking the volume of my voice is way to loud then it settles down in a few seconds. It makes it hard to edit and now I start talking just to let the mic level out before I say what will be in the video. It is as if the gain automatically goes higher trying to pick up on sounds that are not there. Thoughts? Thanks, Ron😎🤙
Great to hear. I have a LUMIX G5 And will be mounting the transmitter on it while teaching a class wearing the transmitter. I’ll be about 6 to 8 feet from my camera. Any suggestions regarding ideal audio settings for the transmitter & receiver?
You asked how I am going to use the mics. For me, mostly leaning out of train windows with a GoPro 11 and an Inkee Falcon plus. The wind noise suppression with the dead cat is 100%. Thanks for an instructive and useful video.
Very helpful. I ordered my first external mic yesterday and went with this mic. I can't wait to get started using it for my videos. Thanks for the tutorial. I'll be saving this video for reviewing later.
Thanks for taking the time to share this in-depth tutorial! I'm preparing to film my first wedding this weekend, and your insights and tips were super helpful to quickly prepare.
Jeven, thanks for the video! I have had my DJI mic system for about 2 years and haven't really used it. I'm going to start making some videos for my family and friends and I'm going to make sure that I utilize this equipment. Thanks again!
Thanks for this - I've been recording interview-style walks with folks & have just been using raw GoPro audio.. this will be a huge upgrade & this video gets everything off on the right foot. Appreciate it Jeven!
I love watching, listening and learning more from your channel. I got this DJi mic about two weeks ago and there are fun to have. I already lost one of the magnets grrr I wish I could have another one.
VERY HELPFUL! Question, how would you recommend setting up a 2 person on camera interview? Mono or assign a L/R channel to each respective transmitter? Was a little unclear on this segment. Thank you!!
Well done! Great pace. Quickly covered the pros and cons over other options and then went into functionality that is crucial for beginners ( who like me sometimes don't read the instruction manual ). Keep up the great work!
Gear is great but storytelling is what will take your videos to the next level! Make sure you check out this video on how to tell a story: th-cam.com/video/KdsWzPMCv7w/w-d-xo.html
Will check it out for sure. This video has already made me a little smarter. Thanks.
Just a small addition, for people recording on an iPhone all the stereo recording is out the window. It’s all mixed to mono BUT the input from the two transmitters will be more important since you can’t change it in your edit.
I would advise all those with an interest to watch all your videos.

This was a very through and informative video, thanks for making it! I have the DJI Mic myself and while I thought I knew the basics pretty well, I did get some new information and ideas about this video. And I'll have to say that, for instance, the tip for using the DJI Action 2 magnetic mounts to attach the DJI Mic transmitter to a stand is quite an inventive and clever idea. Once more, thanks for this and keep up the good work!
I have receive my Mic today in Belgium and your tutorial is really perfect with all the necessary informations.
Thanks a lot.
Peps & Scot 🐶😉
We need a guide on release date first. This mic has been out in the wild for months. I’m ready for V2 when we don’t even have v1.
It's out now. Just got mine yesterday! Ordered last week.
@@AustinGreeneExplores What the heck man! I preordered back in December and still haven't received mine yet!
@@thenerdshow I hear you. I ordered from AVC Photo Store in Miami based on a Reddit tip and it got to Hawaii in 3 days. Give it a shot!
this guy doesn't know what happening lol
Hey Jeven, just got mine yesterday. One heads up is that the production units being shipped have a simple drawstring pouch, not that nice zippered pouch/organizer. Really excited to test this thing out!
Update: made a video about this and these mics on my channel as well. Excellent piece of kit!
I thought the much was kind of cheesy.
I just got my mics, and when im monitoring the audio its echoed. What's your experience monitoring your audio?
When I monitor the audio with my zoom h6 its a great experience. What you're hearing is exactly what you're getting.
But when I monitor the audio from my dji mics it has a slight echo. And its not a solid representation of what I am actually recording. Any thoughts or recommendations on this would be super helpful. Thank you
@@idontfilm I actually haven't tried monitoring yet on the DJI Mic since it's usually just me filming myself. I'll give it a shot when I can and see if I get an echo as well.
@@AustinGreeneExplores I just got done filming some content at work. I had my the mics at -3db. Everything did come out great. But when I live monitored them it just doesn't sound like the final product baked into the video. Like I said its echoed. I guess moving forward ill just pre record some test samples, review it, and go from there.
I bought these the other day because of your excellent coverage and received them today. They are super nice. I am coming from the Hollyland Lark set. They are fine. I wanted a non-lapel set which i guess they are very similar. Owning both, I like this set much better the phone attachment is huge. I will be using them in a one one one and three person scenario. I thought about using two and a Saramonic mixer on camera. But then I thought why not place them on mini tripod like at 33:18 and just have them in between subject and do a mic test prior to and check the levels to make sure each subject is receiving okay.
Great info! Thanks for making this. So
Far i’m using these mics for both short films and also for improv where 2 actors can walk freely around the stage and have their audio captured cleanly. The problems i’m working on troubleshooting still are the transmitter gain for loudness, muffless, and echo in a loud space. Otherwise I love
These mics so far! Thanks for making the video!
Brilliant! I’m sold. You’re also a really good teacher, bro!
I love how no one is mentioning the horrible Hiss sound that's coming from the transmitter with a lot of Lavalier Mics (like the Rode Lavalier GO) that makes the sound unusable. Maybe that's the reason it got delayed a million times, probably DJI is aware of that and tries to fix it before release. Some yt channels mention it briefly and still praise this to heaven - sorry but most of the people don't want to attach a huge transmitter to the shirt of your interview partner, that doesn't look professional. If this is fixed it's an awesome device, but until then this not usable for a lot of content creators.
Haven’t had that happen on my WGII set
Yes, you need certain lavaliers that don't bring any "interference" noise, not hiss. Bought the Saramonic lavaliers with it, one being white and the other being black depending on the clothing, with my fingers crossed!
@@Bo_Hazem I use the Purple Panda mics and they sounds just fine as well
@@EricKolibas that problem doesn't occur on the WGII as far as I know
@@Bo_Hazem ...yes it's interference noise, but it happens with a lot of Lavalier Mics paired only with the dji mic. These mics work fine with the Rode WGII. If you already own a 100$ mic and suddenly get interference noise only with the dji mic that's definitely a bummer
Coustomer service at dji are not helpful, they took almost 3 months to ship my package. Other than that it suck the recivier will not connect to my iPhone with my heavy duty case.
Exact infos we are looking for. Straight to the point, thank you!!
Professional demonstration! DJI should give you credits for serving as a User Guide.
Dude, this was so helpful; thank you! I just picked this up and have used it for 2 videos. For some reason both transmitters were at -12db…now I know how to bring this up!
One of the best instructional videos I've seen on TH-cam! Great job!
29:50 Transmitter Gain vs. Receiver Gain
If you need a gain in dB a transmitter gain is always favourable. Why that? As we know the DJI mic is a good standalone recording device. If you choose this option in some cases, the volume is than already increased. If, on the other hand, you have decided to use receiver gain or a mix of both and then record with the microphone, you have to increase the volume accordingly in post-processing. There is no downside to using only the transmitter gain function.
Conclusion: Transmitter Gain > Receiver Gain.
I do a lot of work with the local community school of the arts and a couple of theater companies. I purchased the DJI Mic to help with recording audition videos for actors, pre and post show interviews, and back-up audio for public speakers that I am shooting during their presentation. This is vey convenient and a lot more versatile compared to using a shotgun microphone.
Congratulation For 1M Mate 💕💕
This is the best plain English tutorial for this DJI equipment. Great job!
This is one of the best tutorials I have seen. Ever. Thank you!
As a professional photographer, now getting into video, I found your video on DJi Mic and its functions invaluable, including all the pro tips you share with your followers. Thank you.
Dude this it great! Thanks for making this video!
I've watched a few DJ Mic videos to get an idea if this is something for me. This was by far the best one. Thanks!
This is an invaluable video that I return to again and again. Thanks for such a clear tutorial!
This is the best tech overview video of any product ever. Excellent work,
This is super useful. I have an issue my battery level for both receiver gets lower and lower eventhough I've charged it using the casing.
I literally go through this video frame by frame. Thanks for the tutorial.
Your video really helped me get to know my mic kit! Thanks
The first video since I started my content creator journey who explained everything and got my full attention THANK YOU 💪🏾💪🏾
Best Beginners Guide for the DJI mic so far- big compliment for this tutorial!
Amazing video. I just bought the same mic two days back. I was too lazy to look at the manual to know the features. After seeing your video, i felt so comfortable and confident to use this. Keep up your good work sir.
6:20 thanks for telling me that there is a back up. Just discovered my lost file. I plugged it in and there it was. I almost returned the mic because I thought I lost it. Apparently, it was an issue with my 16 pro max. I am learning a lot from this tutorial. This whole DJI set is at least 2 years old. I wonder if I should anyway return this and get the new one.
I just bought one and this video was extremely useful. Thank you.
I got so much great info from this video. You have a really calm but enthusiastic delivery that is easily tolerated for 37 minutes. Thank You. BTW, I intend to use these with the new Osmo Pocket 3 and a custom designed small rig cage.
I have a GoPro 11 and use the DJI external mike all the time. I used to have the Rode wireless mike and used their hand microphone with the large sponge like cover. NOW, when I need a hand mike, I use the Rode hand mike with the wind protector and slide an external mike right on the mount. It works perfectly.
Many thanks Jeven, this is an excellent and very clear explanation of how to use the DJI Mic. All very clear and answers so many doubts one might have. Thank you for taking the time to do this and help others.
I viewed both your video on DJI Mic and Rode wireless Go 2. Just want to say thank you for such detail content.
I have never use a system like this before, your video just clear a lot of fogs in my mind.
Thank you.
the back up feature is awesome.Loving the fact you arent bound to the receiver. I shoot both stills and video at weddings and being able to skip those steps and know I'm getting the audio is going to be a game changer
This video is a gold mine.
Have to admit iv just bought the mic from reviews but seeing how you used it and the advice I like it more
So the audio is saved to the video file in the camera and backup recording isn’t needed everytime?
Yes just like any other mic you plug in
I just like the backup recording just in case something isn't working on my phone end. Just used it yesterday for the very first time and I deleted the backup audio after I've noticed that everything went ok. Now I just need to adjust the audio volumes to get a louder sound for the next video.
It's a great tutorial on DJi Mic. One thing i want to ask you is whether i can use it in a class room lecture i.e. video recording of my my lecture and atr the same time connect it to a speaker like Bose S1 Pro portable speaker or the like ?
Probably if you split the cable going out to the camera and portable speaker
DJI really thought of everything when it came to this mic. Its very impressive
great review mate! well done 🙏🏻
Man, this channel is pure gold.
Spot on explanation of all the functions & features very well done all the best jeremy
Thank you for a very good presentation and explaining a lot of information about this microphone 😎👍
Jeven, this is a very helpful video. I like the chapter markers for specific info after watching the whole video once. I have one issue with my DJI that I haven't resolved. When I am not talking for a bit and then start talking the volume of my voice is way to loud then it settles down in a few seconds. It makes it hard to edit and now I start talking just to let the mic level out before I say what will be in the video. It is as if the gain automatically goes higher trying to pick up on sounds that are not there. Thoughts? Thanks, Ron😎🤙
Great to hear. I have a LUMIX G5 And will be mounting the transmitter on it while teaching a class wearing the transmitter. I’ll be about 6 to 8 feet from my camera. Any suggestions regarding ideal audio settings for the transmitter & receiver?
You asked how I am going to use the mics. For me, mostly leaning out of train windows with a GoPro 11 and an Inkee Falcon plus. The wind noise suppression with the dead cat is 100%. Thanks for an instructive and useful video.
This video has been super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Props
Very helpful. I ordered my first external mic yesterday and went with this mic. I can't wait to get started using it for my videos. Thanks for the tutorial. I'll be saving this video for reviewing later.
Thank you for this thorough tutorial! Just got mine and they are already set and ready to use!
Thanks for taking the time to share this in-depth tutorial! I'm preparing to film my first wedding this weekend, and your insights and tips were super helpful to quickly prepare.
Just bought my DJI mics, expecting them later today. Thanks for this awesome tutorial - I’m hooked.
Just got the the Mic for our channel, thanks for the run-though.
wouldn't it be better to put the little screen towards you... so you could see if your mic is still on
Jeven, thanks for the video! I have had my DJI mic system for about 2 years and haven't really used it. I'm going to start making some videos for my family and friends and I'm going to make sure that I utilize this equipment. Thanks again!
Thanks, and very useful. I’ll be using my kit tomorrow in an interview shoot with more confidence now.
Thanks for this - I've been recording interview-style walks with folks & have just been using raw GoPro audio.. this will be a huge upgrade & this video gets everything off on the right foot. Appreciate it Jeven!
Great one-stop video, I don’t even need to look any further. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this. Just got my DJI mic last week. Big help!
I love watching, listening and learning more from your channel. I got this DJi mic about two weeks ago and there are fun to have. I already lost one of the magnets grrr I wish I could have another one.
VERY HELPFUL! Question, how would you recommend setting up a 2 person on camera interview? Mono or assign a L/R channel to each respective transmitter? Was a little unclear on this segment. Thank you!!
Well done! Great pace. Quickly covered the pros and cons over other options and then went into functionality that is crucial for beginners ( who like me sometimes don't read the instruction manual ). Keep up the great work!
So helpful brother, thank you! I'm shooting a wedding soon and this in depth tutorial will help immensely.
Hey Jevin, thank you for this review! As usual, you content is 2nd to none!
