The DJI Mic is a smart device that is lightweight, simple to use, and provides good sound quality for the money. It can be used in a number of ways outside of a studio setting, such as for podcast interviews, field recordings, and vlogging.
The Rode Wireless Go II is a great camera transmitter and receiver system that comes with all the necessary adapters and cables. The system is simple to use and the recordings sound clear, but some design decisions—like the fiddly Record and Link buttons on the transmitters—are perplexing. Additionally, the system is only capable of mono recording when used with an iPhone’s Lightning adapter, as opposed to stereo over a USB-C or 3.5mm connection. Depending on your needs, the Rode Wireless Go II might be a slightly better purchase at $299 because it is more user-friendly and more affordable.
Design
Despite the DJI Mic Receiver’s quirks, it can be a very user-friendly device. The swiping motions required to navigate it are easy to learn, and the screen is always locked so you can’t accidentally press the power button. Additionally, there is a 3.5mm audio jack on the side so you can easily connect your audio devices.
The transmitters are small, attractive, and simple to attach to garments with a clothing clip. We like that the clips may be used to clip the devices to objects or metal surfaces in addition to magnetically attaching to the units. Again, it can be challenging to hide them, but given how small and unobtrusive they are, having the receiver in the shot is probably not a big deal if it’s an interview or if you are a solo YouTube creator. Two windscreens are also included in the kit; they can be snapped onto or off of the receivers and are very effective at blocking out wind noise and unwanted background noise.
DJI has once again made a great addition to the camera equipment market with their new DJI Mic. This small, lightweight mic is perfect for capturing audio and video while you’re shooting, and it comes with an included charging case so you can keep it safe and sound. Additionally, there’s a soft case included to protect your DJI microphone system from any damage. Well done, DJI!
DJI Mic review: Connectivity
We recommend using a standard lavalier microphone when filming with your drone. This transmitter can be paired with it to make filming easier. However, we have found that lavalier microphones and hair don’t always get along well. This can cause problems when filming, as the sound quality is often poor and it resembles a catfight. We usually use the DJI mic that is located on our collar when filming. ..
We’ve found that when the hair is just so happens to be in the same area as the microphone, it can cause it to pick up sound better than other microphones.
Feature
The DJI Mic offers wireless recording over a range of up to 250 metres. This is a key feature as you can record simultaneously from two transmitters, which can be useful for conducting interviews or filming scenes with multiple people. ..
Each transmitter’s sensitivity can be changed from -12dB to +12dB. The Safety Track, which you enable by recording in Mono-S mode, is one of the nicest features. If you or your interviewee accidentally cross the red line and cause clipping distortion on your primary audio track, this immediately records a second version of your audio with a 6dB level cut that you can use in its place. also you will read our article on DJI Mic review.
If you’re recording interviews that you can’t redo, using the Low Cut or not affects the mics’ frequency response. If you do, the frequency range is 150Hz to 20KHz, cutting the boomiest portions of deep-voiced interviews and low-end rumble. The lower end falls to 50Hz when it is off.
Audio Performance
We put the DJI Mic to the test in two different ways: as a standalone recorder that eventually transferred WAV files to our computer, and as a wireless microphone that streamed live audio into Logic Pro. The audio quality of the two approaches was identical; both produced crystal-clear speech free of obtrusive background noise. Windshields that were provided worked well to reduce wind. ..
The DJI Mic can be used in four different ways: as a tiny hand-held microphone; as a camera attachment; as a room microphone placed close to the subject; or as a clip-on lavalier microphone that fastens with its clip or magnets. Speaking directly into the DJI Mic produces remarkably clear and full audio, but doing so while wearing a lavalier microphone is much less impressive.
If you don’t already own a high-quality lavalier, you can’t use it with the 3.5mm TRS-in socket in the top of the transmitter. It sounded terrible and much worse than you’d expect from such a small microphone when it was placed directly in front of us, but when clipped on, it became noticeably boxier-sounding and middly with a noticeable drop-off in the higher frequencies.
DJI Mic review: Performance
The DJI Mic provides excellent audio quality while doing everything it needs to do. The touchscreen makes it incredibly simple to lower the receiver gain for your device and/or situation to keep things clean, even though you might notice that when you first start recording you’re getting a fair amount of clipping. ..
If you’re still concerned about the safety of your audio, you can activate safety channel mode on the receiver’s touchscreen. This separate track records at a volume of -6DB and is a great way to stop your audio from being irreparably damaged by a sudden loud noise.
The claimed wireless transmission range is up to 250 metres. Practically speaking, this is as far as you’re ever going to need it to go. We discovered that we could degrade the quality by being obnoxious and intentionally blocking the transmitter, but it will work just fine for the vast majority of real-world use cases. Even if there is a problem, the transmitters internally record, so you will still have a clear copy of your audio.
DJI Mic review: Battery and Charging
Since we are a chatty, long-winded bother, we checked this out and it is accurate for the reception and transmitter units of the DJI Mic. The system readily lasted five or more hours before we had to recharge it. Let us point out that you will be able to use the DJI mic all day long due to the charging case’s additional ten hours of battery life. Since nobody speaks for 10 hours straight, not even ourselves, we were able to get a respectable seventeen hours of recording from the system. also you will learn our article on DJI Mic review.
The DJI’s charging case is a game-changer and the one unmistakable advantage it has over it, moving it slightly ahead of it.
Price and availability
The DJI Mic with charging case costs $329 and includes a set of cords that let you connect to a computer, camera, or smartphone as well as two transmitters, one receiver, the hard plastic charging case, and some accessories. The DJI Mic is a small device that attaches to your camera or smartphone to allow you to record videos or take photos. It has two transmitters and one receiver so you can use it with multiple devices. The charging case holds the Mic and provides a place to store the cords. ..
The DJI Mavic Pro has a single 3.5mm cable that you can use to connect it to various devices, including an iPhone. However, the mono audio quality is poor and should not be used for high-quality audio work.
Conclusion
The DJI Mic System is a new addition to the DJI line-up that is sure to impress. It is a small, lightweight microphone system that has excellent design in every way. It is strong and easy to use right out of the box, making it perfect for anyDJI user. Additionally, it can be adapted to be used as a lapel or shotgun mic, making it perfect for vlogging or video recording.
The DJI Micsystem is a great microphone for vloggers and other mobile artists who need something compact but yet competitive with other microphones on the market. For all you get, we think the DJI mic system is priced just right, if not a little lower. DJI outdid themselves with this system, which offers amazing sound quality, is chargeable, and is compatible with almost any product. Its adaptability appears to be unmatched.
