Have you noticed that when the mic is connected via Bluetooth that the Blackmagic app freezes on start up a lot of the time and also pretty frequently drops frames mid-shot? Picked one up recently and I’m having this issue. Not sure if it’s just me or if others have this issue too!
Good one :) I’ve made two videos about this in the past, one the day after it came out since I bought it same day only to discover that DJI «hid» the info about bluetooth to iphone-limitations «pretty deep» on their spec page. The one thing you didn’t mention here though is the horrendous quality of the bluetooth audio recording. It uses a lower bandwidth/quality bluetooth audio codec/standard, so audio recorded this way with BT is lower quality compared to using the receiver. Now combine that with the disabled backup internal audio recording feature (which could have provided an alternative by syncing up internal recording later in post) the bluetooth «feature» is a very last resort for me :/
Thanks for the suggestion - it's always hard to know how much detail to put in videos - you could of course just use internal recording and then sync to the iPhones scratch audio in post :) :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo Yeah, it’s always a struggle balancing what to include, you covered lots of the same findings I’ve found as well :) Using the internal recording to sync with native audio from phone is something I’ve done a couple of times and it works well as a backup solution as long as the phone isn’t too far away :) it’s just a pity dji didn’t use better hardware for better bluetooth audio, then it would have been the killer feature I originally hoped it would be needing only the mic and phone for quick videos :)
Weird it dosent work with the iPhone video app. These are expensive and even the cheap Amazon ones connect right away. It’s not showing up in the setting in black magic either but shows in the iPhone Bluetooth setting
Thank you!! I watched several video's about this subject, because I had NO sound playing the recorded video in the Black Magic app. You are the only one telling about this ;-)
FYI had a long conversation with DJI help desk because it wasn't showing up in the black magic or Final Cut Pro app. Neither apps are compatible with the mic as bluetooth. I had it pop up once in black magic app but never again. Just be aware before buying.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Yeah it did with me the first time or maybe twice but never again. It's a bit annoying, there is a list of apps that are compatible, but I think it was only two!? They said they would sell me a receiver separately since you can't normally buy it and they would email me the details with a discount for the inconvenience but haven't heard anything from them. A bit frustrating.
@@JasonRobertsVideo 'As a consequence of restrictions on the third-party app interface, the DJI Mic 2 transmitter is incapable of directly capturing audio in Bluetooth mode. We suggest utilizing the DJI Mic 2 receiver instead to connect to your phone.' FYI the only two for filming on the compatibility list are Filmic Pro and Protake. Hopefully they change it! It seems a good tool.
What if you needed multiple mics? I assume you can't have multiple microphones connected via bluetooth at one time, so for 2 people you'd need to plug the receiver into your phone? I actually need 3 mics, so I'm assuming this set-up wouldn't work for me with shooting on an iphone?
Great video Jason. I'm looking at just buying the transmitter too but some say default settings are a bit quiet? Is there a way to adjust the volume of it? Thanks
When Without the dji receiver the sound is low quality. It would sound better to use the phone’s internal mic, or connect a lower priced receiver system (example: Comica, Hollyland)
Thank you very much, do you know if it is possible to use that app but switch it to the front-facing (selfie) camera on the iPhone? I'm not being able to find where 🙉
I bought the dji mic 2 receiver/transmitter set, but then needed an extra transmitter (so I could use two mics at a time), but I cant connect that second transmitter to the receiver? Any recommendations other then buying the charging box?
I pressed the link button twice, but it still doesn’t show up on my iPhone’s Bluetooth options. I also downloaded the black magic camera app, same thing. The blue light is blinking fast on my microphone. Did I do something wrong?
I bought this but the audio quality is soooo tinny. I’ve spent so much on wireless mics and they all sound so tinny I’ve never been able To use one and always ended up using a plug in mic to my phone instead 😢 I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Will the DJI MIC 2 physically be able to connect to an iPhone that it's in a protective case? I'm having issues getting it to work and it looks like only solution is to remove iPhone from its case. Correct?
Hello Jason! Do you know how I can connect two dji mic 2 microphones in the Blackmagic Camera app on my IPhone to do interviews? I've tried but it only lets me connect one microphone. Thank you very much
Hi I haven't tried that but I'm assuming only 1 - If yo need to do 2 mics you might need to attach the receiver to the phone and then connect the 2 mics to the receiver and not the phone directly.
@JasonRobertsVideo like which ones for instance? Excluding any audio interface and editing software on PC. Ive got all that. I'm looking for quick recording straight from the phone to quickly post on social media
When I connect via BT to iPhone it’s not showing up as an option in audio settings in black magic app. Software on phone and mic2 are current. Any ideas?
I want to start making RUclips content. Would you be able to tell me if using my iPhone 15 pro, a DJI phone gimble, and a single mic 2 would suffice or should I get the plugin receiver? (I plan to make mostly solo videos but will occasionally interview someone, and I imagined just passing them the microphone I use).
When it comes to starting a RUclips channel honestly I would just start with your phone and it's built-in microphone - if you have the money and time then get what you suggest but use the receiver and 2 mics for interviews - there's so much to learn about making and editing RUclips videos over the gear you use :) :) All the best with the channel!
Just received the DJI transmitter and finally got ir connected to rhe black magic app. Totally pissed off that audio doesnt playback normally. This was £89 purchase. Do you know if a better wireless mic that works with the iPhone?
Many thanks for your audio playback workaround. I'll just flip between the iPhone and DJI mic on playback. Interestingly my DJI mic v1 connects better since the last update.
hi, did you record this video with the dji mic 2 in bluetooth? because in the videos I see on RUclips the audio without the receiver is terrible and here it is very good. did they update the firmware or what?
So basically just get the transmitter because everything else that you just lifted was a big pain in the butt too many steps doesn’t save you time isn’t convenient. What have you so nice job but you could’ve saved yourself a lot less minutes by just saying don’t waste your time and just connected to your Osmo pocket three orget a receiver, plain and simple
I checked out nearly 10 videos and this one was the only one that snared all my questions. thank you!!
Yay! Thanks for letting me know :) :)
its also works with Dji mimo app directly if you use osmo dji mobile
Thanks for this. All the answers with none of the fluff. Love it. Thank you so much :)
You are so welcome! Thanks! :) :)
Excellent video. You answered all of my questions in a concise and informative way. No fluff or waste here. Nice job, thank you!

Muchas gracias por el video, no encontraba solucion de como conectarlo
Pero lo explicaste muy bien
Great Information, That is Exactly what I am looking for, Thank You
Glad it was helpful! Thanks :) :)
Thank you very much, do you know if it is possible to use that app but switch it to the front-facing (selfie) camera on the iPhone? I'm not being able to find where 🙉
You can change lens within black magic to front lens which is the selfie camera ☺️
I bought the dji mic 2 receiver/transmitter set, but then needed an extra transmitter (so I could use two mics at a time), but I cant connect that second transmitter to the receiver? Any recommendations other then buying the charging box?
Can it be connected to the Action 4 too or is it one device at a time?
Don't have an Action for to test but I think it would be one at a time.
This video was very helpful to me~
Yay! - thanks :) :)
Don’t need black magic app! I have sound through the native camera app!
Running iOS 18.1 beta 1
Nice :) :)
I pressed the link button twice, but it still doesn’t show up on my iPhone’s Bluetooth options. I also downloaded the black magic camera app, same thing. The blue light is blinking fast on my microphone. Did I do something wrong?
Wow love this, soon am trying it out ❤
Thanks :) :)
I bought this but the audio quality is soooo tinny. I’ve spent so much on wireless mics and they all sound so tinny I’ve never been able
To use one and always ended up using a plug in mic to my phone instead 😢 I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Thanks for sharing - where do you place the mic when recording?
Is the audio on this video recorded using the DJI Mic 2?
DJI Mic 1 wirelessly transmitted to Sony a7S III (I only have 1 Mic 2 transmitter at the moment)
Will the DJI MIC 2 physically be able to connect to an iPhone that it's in a protective case? I'm having issues getting it to work and it looks like only solution is to remove iPhone from its case. Correct?
Don't know, sorry.

Will these pick up an acoustic guitar and someone singing?
Yes would work but not as good as other mic setups :) :)

I'm looking for quick recording straight from the phone to quickly post on social media
When I connect via BT to iPhone it’s not showing up as an option in audio settings in black magic app. Software on phone and mic2 are current. Any ideas?
I've seen other people talk about this online which is very weird to say the least - I haven't had time to looking into yet though.
@@JasonRobertsVideo I reinstalled the camera app and now it works! Weird
Cool - glad you got it sorted - thanks for the tip :) :)

Thanks! how do i use this mic with iPhone when straming live on TikTOk ?
That's not something I do so don't know I afraid.
You can't.
If I knew I couldn’t use my native iPhone video I wouldn’t have spent all of this money. To you think a firmware will fix this?
I'm not sure if it's a firmware thing on the mic or an iPhone camera app thing.
I didn’t see the link to black magic camera app in your description, if it’s there it’s all clogged up with too much stuff 🙏
Thanks for letting me know - I just added the link :) :)
Hi, does the same method apply to connect the microphone to a macbook? Because I've tried several times with no result.
I would think so but I don't have a macbook to test on for you sorry.
It's okay, thank you anyway!
No worries, hope you get it sorted :) :)

I’ve seen ppl say holly land lark 2 is better Im about to look into it.
Yeah I want to try/review lark but as a small RUclipsr I don't get sent free things :) :)
hi, did you record this video with the dji mic 2 in bluetooth? because in the videos I see on RUclips the audio without the receiver is terrible and here it is very good. did they update the firmware or what?
Video was recorded on a sony with receiver because I needed the phone to demonstrate.
Black magic app video is horrible, I still prefer using the receiver and transmitter together
Cool use whatever works best for you! :) :) What don't you like about the blackmagic camera app?
I agree
So basically just get the transmitter because everything else that you just lifted was a big pain in the butt too many steps doesn’t save you time isn’t convenient.

There's always tradeoffs with anything and everyone has different requirements/needs.
