✍🏼✍🏼✍🏼 you're the best 😊
Pretty sick that this thing is compatible even with smart phones and other devices!
I LOVE the fact that I can use the same wireless mic for both my camera and my phone, it's going to be so great for IG stories when I'm at conferences like NAB 2024!
Say what you want, the best feature is the solid cold shoe mount compared to the flimsy shit from before 😂
😂😂😂
On your FX30, do you set the camera’s volume to a particular number or on default when using the DJI preset?
I’ll double check but IIRC I set it to 1 on the camera
This mic sounds way too processed 😅
Great video, David! I'm thinking about upgrading to this unit speciafically for the bluetooth connection capability. Do you have any feeback on sound quality when connected via Bluetooth as opposed to having the receiver connected to your smartphone? Thanks!
Hey! Here’s what I’ve found:
1) Receiver Audio Quality > Bluetooth Audio Quality.
2) On iPhones, it doesn’t work with the native camera app yet (probably will be fixed in firmware update), but works with apps like BlackmagicCam (since you can select audio input source)
3) I think on Android devices it works with the native camera app, but I don’t have one to confirm, I think even on Android it’ll still sound worse than using the receiver, audio quality could be fixed in a firmware update but that’s to be seen.
Ideally, I’d still use the receiver for best audio quality possible!
@@DavidZhou much appreciated 👍🏾
Thanks for the info! We edit short and reels, I recommend the DJI Mic 1 all the time to our clients who are making short-form content. But their typical set up is to plug in the receiver into their phone (they record their video using their phone). Just to be clear, the 32-bit float feature is negated with that setup, correct?
Correct, it only works if you're recording directly to the transmitter, so that means they'd have to sync it in post. I still recommend it as a good mic with the receiver, just no 32-bit :(
Does noise cancelling work if connected via Bluetooth to the action 4?
Yes it should work the same id imagine since it should work like it does on the OP3!
Great video!
Thank you!
Great review and overview. Still rocking the OG DJI…..just don’t use them enough to justify the upgrade
Fair! That’s how I am with drones lol
hi. how to format the dji mic 2? thanks
You can format from the menu of the receiver!
On the receiver: Menu > TX Settings > Storage > Select the TX you want to format (make sure it’s on) > Swipe to format
@@DavidZhou great. thanks. 😊
Were you using the DJI in your office? I don't think so, but did not declare it!!!
I was! I used it for the whole video!
@@DavidZhou really? That's impressive!
@@WillNewcombyup! The difference is that my office is slightly sound treated so there’s less reflections/echoes :)
@@DavidZhou Often I find lavs give a better audio in offices since shotgun mics pick up a lot more reflections even though they're directional. Nothing beats having a mic close to your mouth.
Thanks lend johar mission India
So youre saying i cant use timecode with 32 bit float? Sad..
It's the only thing missing from the DJI Mic 2 and RODE Wireless Pro :( so far, only the Tentacle Sync and Deity PR 2 (not yet released) will have that
@@DavidZhou I was about to buy it David!, but I guess Deity would be my only option.
@Velspire yeah… only issue is that they’ve been “coming soon” since NAB 2023 last April, but hopefully that means they’re around the corner!
@@DavidZhou I'm a noobie when it comes to audio, but i have the deity TC, and a zoom f3 recorder. And I need a wireless lav system. If i plug in the DJI mic 2 reciever into the f3 would it record 32 bit? if not what would you recommend I should get?
Take a look at the RODE Wireless Pro, I believe it supports timecode and 32-bit float!
You should cut the background song because we can’t hear as well the audio
Noted! Curious: are you listening on a speakers, headphones, or TV?
@@DavidZhou on iPhone

Huge upgrade? Are you joking? It's obvious that it's a sponsored video 🤣🤣🤣
I'd say 32-bit float is a huge upgrade! Now, if you already have a wireless mic system and you don't need 32-bit float, you may not need to buy it.
@@DavidZhou oh thanks 👍🏻 But there is still no point in upgrading for those using the first version.
@hasankaragoz I'm guessing you have never used 32-bit float. In many shoots, it is like a superhero and quite literally saves the day for audio recordings - usually when people speak too loud and soft, or if loud noises hit. I will ALWAYS choose 32-bit float whenever possible - and gladly pay the premium - worth it's weight in gold.
If you always have controlled environments with skilled speakers at even volumes, or aren't a professional working in a variety of scenarios, then sure - keep the OG. But just think about David taking it to NAB 2024 and throwing a mic on random people in a loud room - in just that one example alone you'll quickly see the value.
@@purplesocialoctopus Just because it is 32 bit does not make the device perfect. In addition, errors of the device have already started to be shared on many independent channels. You won't be wasting your own money if you don't just stick to sponsored videos.
@@hasankaragoz I agree, 32-bit doesn't make a device perfect, it's only one aspect. But what "errors of the device" are you referring to? I haven't heard anything yet, would love to know.
