This is a fantastic comparison of these two products Tamara and the production quality is 2nd to none. Genuinely gasped out loud when you showed how easy it was to get the files off of the DJI - the Rode's have always baffled me why it's not just a .wav file. Thanks for posting 🙂
I'm a huge fan of RØDE's products (I have a PodMic, a RØDECaster Pro II, an NT1, and 2 PSA1+ arms), but every comparison I've seen of these products pushes me closer to DJI. I just stumbled on your channel. Love the content! Will definitely be checking out your other videos too
Simply put, the DJI Wireless Mic is the single most important item I have purchased in 2023………and top 5 best birthday gift as well. Great review and video! 🍻
Great video, thanks. One small thing: you can copy the files from the Rode through USB without the Rode Central, just like on the DJI. But you need to convert the files either with a third party converter or with the Rode Central. The format the Rode records into allows conversion into a lot of different formats and you can also set the loudness level at conversion, which might save you a bit of time in your editing software. With the latest desktop version of Rode Central, you can convert files sitting on your PC, not just the files on the transmitters. I am not sure, but I think that the special format it records in also allows for a bit more flexibility with audio levels. It is not 32 bit float, but as far as I understand, it has some better dynamic range which might help salvage clipped audio. A month or two ago I had some overdriven/clipped recording, and by playing around with the special files recorded by the WG2 I was able to get a very usable sounding wav file.
With the latest firmware update, the RØDE Wireless Mic Go II transmitters now record in .wav, and the app is not needed to transfer or convert the files.
I just bought this dji mic and updated it into the latest version both the receiver and transmitter. But strangely my dji action 3 didnt recognize the mic. The icon on the upper right corner didnt change when i plugin the mic. It still the "human talking" icon.. maybe you know why?
I was on the fence and leaning towards the DJI Now I’m sold on it. Thank you! I plan to buy one soon and I may just go ahead and get a lav to go with it.
Excellent review, Tamara. I've also bought the colour match plugin using your affiliate code as I use several cameras and need to blend say GoPro with Insta360 X3 and R6 II together. Phew! Thanks again!
Hi Tamara, I have the Dji Wireless Mic and love it. So easy to set up and the case is great to charge the mics and the transmitter. Easy to carry in your pocket. I've not tried a lavalier mic with it yet though. Lots of choice out there! 🙂
Thanks for the excellent review, which confirms the DJI as my first choice. I'm thinking about interviewing people who lived through the cultural turmoil/revolution of the 1960s, now getting on in years, and a clip-on and forget wireless seems like it would be much more comfortable for people than a shotgun or anything directional that you'd have to stay aimed towards and close to.
I just purchased both and tested them head to head. Kept the DJI and sent the Wireless Go II back for many of the reasons you touched on plus I thought the DJI sounded better. Nice comparison you did.
Another great comparison Ms. Tamara. But what really made this so great was the story you told your daughter at 7:13 in! 💜💜😂💜💜 My preference is DJI, however, I use Comica’s wireless mic.
I edit on my ipad pro. I recorded directly to my dji transmitter and then pugged it into my ipad pro and it recognized it as a file. I was able to easily transfer the file directly onto the ipad. After, I was able to delete the file off the transmitter using the screen on the receiver. I really like the DJI mic.
@@TamaraGabrielUK I’m swaying more towards the DJI but I don’t know if it’s a good mic because I see a lot of TH-camrs using the RODE over the DJI. (which to me it means it’s better than DJI if everyone is choosing it) I want it for outside vlogging and to capture the audio of someone preaching too.
G’day Princess, great comparison review 👌🏻 I own several RØDE products and love them all. I also purchased the DJI Mic and like it a lot! I agree with all that you said and find myself using the DJI Mic a lot more that my RØDE Wireless Go V1. I think this latest RØDE Wireless ME is in direct response to the DJI Mic. I say bring on the competition because in the long run it is US the consumer that gains the most benefit from advanced technology products. Keep up the awesome videos young lady, your SMASHING this TH-cam thing. Much friendly Love. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺✌🏻
Thanks! I don't think the Rode Wireless ME is trying to compete with the DJI Wireless Mic, it has a different consumer in mind,. The Wireless ME is a great mic though, perfect for run and gun.
I've watched your video to the very end. Thank you for the review that ensures me that I should choose DJI instead of Rode. I think that Rode has slightly better sound quality when you are using the sole transmitter mic, but in the terms of the content creation we need to be realistic. We will need to store it, charge it, and take it with you - sometimes in a big hurry. And we have a kids and that does not coresspond well with a plenty of cables, small elements that can be easily lost when you take care of your children and don't have a comfort of perfectionly packing all those Rode gear to the proper containers - both in your house nad on the way. Having the DJI you put everything to the case and you are done - and your gear is charging.
This is so helpful - thank you! You mentioned you use a gopro, which is what I'd be using the mic with (as well as my phone, I have hero10) and I think I need a media mod - is that the case? The matching app looks great! I have so much trouble trying to get the two cameras to look the same!
No problem 😊 Yeah, you can either get a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter cable or you can use the Media Mod. It’s a bit more expensive than getting an adapter, but I personally find it convenient because of the mounting options for the mic as well.
I film alone. The single transmitter version wasn't available when I got mine... BUT I probably would have still gotten the 2 transmitter version anyway. What happens if you're out and you break the transmitter or if the battery dies? Always clutch to have the backup. My only beef is really needed into up the gain on both the Receiver & Transmitter... but it's easy to figure out and one you have it, you're set. I like +6DB on both the Transmitter & Receiver for iPhone.
I am in great confusion between both My first priority is the sound clarity and quality My cam is R5 and i am using to interview some Drs for reels inhouse Plz advise me which is the best in terms of sound quality clarity and sharpness
Yeah, I know, but the problem with that is not being able to monitor the audio if you're filming yourself; I like to keep an eye on the levels. But yeah, in any other situation it would be round the other way, which wouldn't be an issue.
Tamara, I just found your channel through this video and LOVE your style! If you don't mind me asking, what font do you using for the text on screen? It's stunning.
Recently, I’ve been using Track Club because of the feature that lets you customise a track before downloading it, which is really useful. And the music is dope. There’s a link to a free trial in the description 😊
Hi Tamara, loving the videos which are really informative, have you already done a video with the Dji mic showing the set up when using both mics and what setting to use. Also then how to sync in fcpx so it sounds good? If so can you post the link. Thanks
I'm particularly interested the process of getting the files from the receiver to the editing software. I've heard many folks say they didn't like the process.@@TamaraGabrielUK
I'm a vlog newbie, non audiophile, who's been watching tons of mic video reviews. The DJI appears to be the standard by which everything else is measured (in this class). I've recently bought a Fulaim X5 which to me sounds similar to the DJI soundwise. I have found that my £20 wired PurplePanda lav sounds quite a bit better plugged directly into my iphone12pm. BUT with some basic sound adjustments in Lumafusion the X5 sounds about the same. Any chance of a Fulaim X5 v DJI comparison video? PS nice to see some British countryside and accents (I'm in China). Thanks
Thing is Tamara, rode were the first coming out with a wireless audio model a couple of yrs ago. Nowadays there are so many offerings available from premium (rode, DJI) till budget friendly options. I still use the rode wireless (original) which still works well
Anyone have any tips on how to use this for musicians with an iPhone? Not being able to hear audio from the phone while using the mic is a huge obstacle that makes it almost useless when trying to record music with it :(
Haha same 😢 IJust bought the rode secondhand for 200$ , and she used it twice , and I wanted the cool interview microphone 🎤 which put me over the edge , I really thought the charger of the dji is bangin though
I purchased the teleprompter which you're not allowing comments on. There are no directions whatsoever as to how to get a file into the app it's going to be read by the teleprompter at all and I spent the last hour and just because of the software I'm about to return this whole entire thing please put up a video that says okay once you had this newer teleprompter setup it shows a guy picking up a remote control and just clicking it but I sat there for an hour and I can't find any way to access the Lost Cloud that you talk about yes I am registered into the program there's no button to go to the Lost Cloud there's no directions here on TH-cam and then you top it off with I can't make that software even find this word document weather's on my tablet which it is it's on my everywhere so you need better directions you need to allow comment so you get the feedback you need to put proper directions up for people and I want these directions up I'm going to return this tomorrow
The Wireless GO II is still a good mic system though. I actually left the DJI Mic system behind when I went away last week and took the Rode Wireless ME because the DJI mic system was a bit too big and bulky for travelling light.
It sound like you might just have a preference 🤭 They’re both great quality, but both have a slightly different sound. Rode mics tend to be a bit bassier.
Keep up the good work.
This is a fantastic comparison of these two products Tamara and the production quality is 2nd to none.

Thanks, that’s good to know. It’s just an extra step though having to convert the files which is why the DJI option is more appealing, less faff.

Tamara, I've enjoyed your excellent reviews. You have helped me decide on the DJI mic system as well as the GoPro Hero 11 Creator Kit. Many thanks!
Thanks! I’m glad the videos helped you out 😊
Great comparison! This definitely pushes me to the DJI. Just canceled my Rode Wireless GO II order (after I canceled my Tascam DR-10L order)
Haha, no problem 😊
Great Video DJi Mic was probably my Best electronics purchase last year I use it alot…
What about the 27ms delay in the DJI mic, compared to 4ms on the Rode Wireless Go II?
Really? Have you tried it yourself? I’m thinking of buying the DJI Mic or Rode but I’m not sure what to pick
@yeseniagamer13 Are you currently swaying towards one more than the other? If you’ve got some questions I can try and clarify anything for you.
@@TamaraGabrielUK I’m swaying more towards the DJI but I don’t know if it’s a good mic because I see a lot of TH-camrs using the RODE over the DJI.

Have you got a cheaper lav mic that you used? 83 pounds is a big on the expensive side.
Good comparison video Tamara.
Thanks 😊
Needed exactly this
☺️
Thanks for the video..!!!
About cable issue in 2:57..can we use rode sc2 for the replacement ? :)
I am in great confusion between both
My first priority is the sound clarity and quality
My cam is R5 and i am using to interview some Drs for reels inhouse
Plz advise me which is the best in terms of sound quality clarity and sharpness
The receiver can go on the hot-shoe mount both direction so switch it around and the cable should fit perfectly
Yeah, I know, but the problem with that is not being able to monitor the audio if you're filming yourself; I like to keep an eye on the levels. But yeah, in any other situation it would be round the other way, which wouldn't be an issue.
@@TamaraGabrielUK yep you are right, great Video keep up the good work

Not sure I’ll be able to get my hands on a Fulaim X5 at the moment, but I’d say if you’re happy with it then you don’t necessarily need anything else.
I would have found it interesting to include Sennheiser in the comparison
So which one is better?
They’re both great in terms of audio but the DJI Wireless Mic has the better user-experience
Do you know if the Rode Lav will work on the DJI one?
Yes, it works, and has a really nice sound.

Have you tried connecting Bluetooth headphones? Worked for me.
I am still confused in both devices but I am most inclined towards DJI.
What are you confused about?
I have always been torn between the two. Maybe in 2024 I'll make a decision.
Haha same 😢 IJust bought the rode secondhand for 200$ , and she used it twice , and I wanted the cool interview microphone 🎤 which put me over the edge , I really thought the charger of the dji is bangin though
@RT T Yeah, there is a third-party charging case for the rode also, but it won't pair the mics. Kind of made me think about the rode more...

I think you commented on the wrong video, this is a microphone review.
I use my Rode more Im not a fan of the DJI case because it can't hold anything more.
I've started watched your video cause you're a beautiful girl, then I've got many useful technical tips! 😊
🐲🙏
Oh no 😢 I just bought RODE ... Should have watched this review before making the purchase final !
The Wireless GO II is still a good mic system though. I actually left the DJI Mic system behind when I went away last week and took the Rode Wireless ME because the DJI mic system was a bit too big and bulky for travelling light.
DJI SEMBLE EXTRAORDINAIRE MAIS J'AI TOUJOURS L'IMPRESSION QUE NIVEAU QUALITÉ SON RODE EST MEILLEUR
The DJI always sounds better to me on these review videos I’m not sure why can anyone make sense of that?
It sound like you might just have a preference 🤭 They’re both great quality, but both have a slightly different sound. Rode mics tend to be a bit bassier.
Cinematch need some more work. The footage isn't matched.
where’s your footage Joshua?
