Dylan becoming WAYYYYY TOO good at the sponsor bits 🤣
Why was he on the roof 😂😂😂
He’s such a good voice over actor!
He's the best ar sponsorships 😆
Monday should like pay him a serious though for this. It’s really good
@@lamarshealey3332 Because the first line of the sponsor segue was "It's important to stay on top of things" 😂
Feels like dji just launched an attack on every segment in film. ...... 4 items in afew weeks.
Wouldn't be surprised if there's more
Attack on DJI
Right? Lavs, cinema cameras, drones, what else are they going to do hahahhaa
@@makestuffmike smartphone??
@@jirosaves_theworld electric car!
@@makestuffmike electric AIRPLANE!!
UPDATE!!! - The rode central update now allows for batch exports! Not quite as easy as just transferring WAV files but at least you can do it in one pass. Also, the Rode fixed the connection issue with certain USB cables with their latest firmware! But my preproduction unit on the DJI is still giving me issues. DJI says they’ll let me swap it out for a production model and let me test so I’ll come back after I see if it’s been fixed.
Biggest benefit to the DJI model is that it doesn’t peak nearly as easy if you’re using the microphone on the unit. But Rode has solid reliability, and they also now sell a megnetic clip as well. I tried getting the charging case for the ride but I’m not a big fan of the one I got. The case will discharge even after the rodes are full
Heyy could you do a video on lavalier's like how to buy guide maybe what you would use or any recommendations I really want to know what lavs are good wanna bring my film making to another level
what about the high pitch interference Gene?
for the rode charging case, I think it will discharge mainly because the rode display is on which means it's running the battery so the case keeps charging, it's a shame:(
You should pin this to the top! What happened with DJI Mic's weird high pitch interference noise? Is it solved yet?
Hey Gene, were the A7IV static sound and the high pitch lav sound issues fixed?
The DJI Wireless Mic has way better battery life since it can be used and charged with the carrying case for a total of 15 hours while on the go.
It's amazing how Dylan can just say random things with a serious face for the sponsor segments. 😆
I really like how the DJI wireless Mic has a charging case that I can just carry around all day.
I'm using the third party charging case he mentioned for the Rode Wireless Go 2. It's really good, but it's great that DJI includes it in the box. It's a great selling point.
I just like don't have to carry a small case all day and have 7 hours battery on the go like RODE GO2
DJI going strong into all-round cinematography!🔥
They are taking overrr
@@JamesRailProductions. I'm not complaining 🤷♂️ 😉
@@Hypocristis ya they’re products are good
China seeks to rule the world. Where is American manufacturing? Oh, that's right... greedy Globalists.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 Jobs are coming back to America and inflation.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Love Gene’s expert knowledge on all things camera and gear.
putting everything in the case like airpods is genius. It makes keeping everything together simpler and makes sure your mics are charged. I might pick one of these up!
Absolutely a brilliant idea!
I always enjoy your videos. 👍 If they fix the glitches, I’m sold. I actually like the idea of a stop/start recording button and the simple download process (the 2 things I hate about the Rode), so this would be perfect for me.
Very in depth review as always. You inspire me to get better at doing reviews!
You guys make the ads incredibly enjoyable. Love it.
WOW, love the form factor and NO ONE can affordably compare to DJI's perfected Ocusync communications technology when it comes to signal strength and reception (proven technology on their drones).
you really get the people to watch your sponsors. good job on that 😂
First of all… you make some damn good ads.
I love how you really test out stuff, like biking and stuff. Some serious commitment
I really enjoyed the set up of this video! Loved how you braided the review and showcasing into a vlog style video!!
Purchased before you even finished the review. Wow, I’m stoked on these. Hope they figure out that side button though, I have people put their transmitters in their pockets and it does worry me that they could accidentally turn it off. Maybe DJI could do a software update where you have to click twice and hold to turn off instead of just one solid hold… something where it’s difficult to replicate by accident in a pocket.
Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to you and Kari!!!
Just bought a SYNCO WAir G2 (A2) for hal the price of these. No internal recording, and range is also more like 30 meters, but for interviews, it is plenty enough. Just tested them yesterday on a shoot, and the sound was amazing. Barely a difference from the standard wireless go. Perfect enough for any online content.
I watched this around thanksgiving and then again on Christmas 😂 I can’t wait to get the DJI mics when they are released! The range is crazy on these things.
Seems like a great kit. Both have amazing sound during a bike ride even.
I ordered mine from B&H as soon as I first heard of them. Excited to get them.
Lol, good to see you here!!! Love your videos too
WTG, I'm in line right behind you 😉
Keep formation.
sure
Great choice
This mic looks amazing, really excited for it. I wish they had made the case have more storage so when you plug in the mics it downloads the audio and clears the mics internal storage
I also wish the mic connected wirelessly to the DJI action 2 like the Pocket 2. The pocket 2 mic setup was a way better setup for quick vlogging. Just turn on the mic and it connects automatically, no Tx/Rx. These mics looks better for using on my main camera.
Hope they work w the Action (1)!
I realized every time I wanna check out a new gadget, I search it in this channel.
Always such un depth but easy to understand reviews!! Hope they fix those issues especially when hooked up to the A7!
I'm probably going to buy this to replace the Sony wireless microphone.
The case makes things so much simpler. Plus the safety tracks and internal recording are a big bonus.
The Sony has the advantage of being able to transmit audio through the MI shoe instead of a 3.5mm cable, but it doesn't give you any control over the input levels if you use the MI shoe.
Plus the Sony just completely cuts out audio if the noise goes beyond a certain decibel level (e.g. a noisy vehicle exhaust passes you)
the question is, if you shouldn't get the AVX system or something more pro
The Tascam DR 10l or 10cs also has a safety track, lasts all day on one lithium batter and a micro SD card. Hook up to talent, run included lav to talent's shirt, good to go.
so glad to know that @gadget addict also follows my favorite youtuber.
Been subbed for years, wish you didn't wreck your channel with constant MMDA and other non tech content. Wish you separated the channels. I had to turn off my notifications for your channel because so many things I didn't care about showed up. Love your tech related videos, but no interest in street clearing or traffic stopping.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 yeah I nearly bought the tascam before.
But after using a wireless mic that feeds audio directly into the camera, I don't want to return to the hassle of syncing audio and video.
Especially because I have a lot of short clips shot through the day. Sometimes it takes a long time for the auto sync to work out where everything goes and sometimes it just won't sync at all and I have to do it manually.
At least with the DJI, you have the best of both worlds. The audio is fed straight into the camera but you also have internal recording in the mic itself and safety track support.
I know the rode system also has those features but it doesn't include the handy case that protects and charges the system.
The DJI sounds really natural! Next to the Rode they sound very similar, but sometimes the Rode can sound like it has a little mid dip.
I am of your opinion
I heard the same. Not much but noticeable on my phone.
I concur
I guess it depends what you like, to my ear the DJI sounds brighter but Rode sounds fuller
Carries point about audio quality is spot on! There are really good channels out there that have crappy audio thereby rendering the usefulness of the channel content useless. Good review Gene. I also watched the RODE GO review. Very helpful.
Really great. Enjoyed every minute of that! As much as I've loved using my Sennheiser EW-112 G3's over the last few years, I think it's time to upgrade!
They both sound really good, I thought the Rode Go2 sounded better at first, but then couldn't decide. So I would just go with the DJI because the recording is backed up which is really nice, the mics themselves can be charged via usb-C and look nicer.
so far how has it held up? is the sound quality just as good as it is on here?
Does DJI have any plans to add timecode sync? Then if you download the audio directly from the mic unit it can auto sync back to the video. =) Would be cool to be able to sync several DJI cameras and mics with a timecode sync system like Tentacle Sync has made.
You are literally the only youtuber I don't skip the sponsorship part. Always so creative and funny it's a pleasure to actually watch it 😁✌🏼
Holy cow! Dylan does an amazing job of an ad spot. Amazing narration.
To me it sounded like the Rode was slightly more clear 2/3 of the time where the Dji seemed a little muffled. Also, while Dylan was doing the sponsor bit there were some clips where the Dji seemed to have a louder noise floor.
Thank you Mr potato jet now I am more conflicted.
I can’t tell the difference between the two (audio quality wise) but we are big fan of DJI (for drones). I somehow expected the rode mic to be better.
I love the charging box of DJI mic though.
I work with GH5 mostly.
Anyone here can guide me for the best wireless mic for GH5?
they both sound really good. I like the DJI for the fact that you can adjust gain on each xmitter. Great feature. Thanks for this comparison.
I'm new and trying to get all my gear together to start a you tube channel with my wife. I ordered and got the Rode go 2 yesterday from Amazon, but then I saw your video so we have decided to return it and order the DJI, mic, which isn't available until April. It will be an easy return since I hadn't even opened the box yet. Thank you for the video. I can see its going to be a long learning experience for both of us, but it should be fun.
Yo Dylan killed me on the sponsor read lmfao That was great!
He has been killing it since he started doing this. The transition is smoooooooth too! Haha
@@nicocastillo2099 Absolutely!
Oh man. I already bought 3 sets of the Rode Wireless IIs. Love the form factor and charging case of these. I occasionally get the high pitched whine on them. I think it might have to do with proximity to electrical wires, but I could be wrong.
How do you like the rode wireless II thus far??
Just curious, I’m leaning toward buying over the DJI
@@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear I like the DJI set better so far. Just got them in the mail last week. The DJIs are sleeker, smaller and I have had no interference issues in the two shoots I've used them on. The charging case is awesome too.
@@SongstaForLife really? Wow
My main concern is the interface with DJI
Watched a few reviews that mentioned DJI wireless mics pick up alot of interference especially around technology/ Devices
Do you encounter interference at all with the rode?
@@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear Lots of interference with the Rodes. My suspicion is it has something to do with either cell towers or electrical wires.
I swear, these are probably the only sponsor bits I really watch out of all the youtubers I follow because you always come up with something new and Dylan is hilarious lol
Thank you for the awesome DJI review (and comparison to RODE). I returned the first GO II set because everyone was out of SC15 cords everywhere, but now that I'm about to buy again, the DJI seem much better. The one week I had the GO II I kept experiencing interference, even at 10-15 feet or so it did not like it if I was holding the receiver even a slight bit
I've been debating buying my first ever microphone for my mirrorless camera. I'm a photographer but really been looking to get into video. I think this DJI mic might be what I buy.
Everyone: what else can Dylan do
Dylan: Climbs roof for a shot
Canada here - just got mine now, with latest firmware, all the issues (including record lock) are fixed. Tip for iOS users, if you use a USB to Lightning camera connector, you can record on your phone in stereo from the receiver.
Looks like super nice gear! I MISS THE VLOG!
I remember when Gene used to have a vlog channel, old good times
Damn I didn't realise it was 3 months since he uploaded.
I miss it too :(
it didn't pay the bills, but the content was awesome!
...and now he's got affiliate links. Happy Turkey Day...I guess....
DJI is all of a sudden taking over the filmmaking industry, at least catching up very quickly. Makes me excited to see if there are any rebuttals and to see what ever they are planning next.
Because drone market is already saturated and they need more money.
Chinese are taking over everything. Is that good??? No.
Rode is known for quality microphones of all levels. Until DJI can come out with something like the Rode NTG-3, they'll always be gimmicky toys.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 Don't be racist.
@@DarshanaHashendra How is the FACT the stated Chinese goal of 2025 is to make 75% of the world's manufactured goods racist when THAT IS THEIR STATED GOAL?
Now bugger off Chinse troll and go racist someone else.
Definitely will watch additional video regarding this dji wireless microphone. Your daily use can answer wide variety of questions)
Ooo exciting and I missed your videos! These mics look so easy! 🙌🏻
13:37 this is RF Interference. This is only solved with shielding inside the actual product or by isolating the device from another wireless device and signal. Was the DJI receiver being used when recording this segment or was the transmitter being used as a recorder only? I was very keen to get the dji as backup mics on weddings but this might be the deal breaker. Already tried the go2 and the clipping and having to use an app to transfer files was a very bad experience. Just need something that is reliable so I can set and forget. guess I got to just keep waiting for the next Gen of these rec/transmitters.
That buzz was terrible. Definitely a deal breaker.
I'm also sick to death of dealing with interference. What wireless system are you using instead of the GO II?
@@LilSassy currently trying the lensgo 348c. Interference gets bad when recording audio+receiving to the camera when lets say someone is holding a phone that is video calling in and the mic is close to the phone to pick up sound. So currently just using the transmitter as a recorder only. but that means theres still no way of monitoring audio which is a nightmare because it also does not have a hardware limiter. sounds good though when not peaking lol but definitely not a good solution. The new deity wireless has a hard limiter but no recording feature in the transmitter so hoping they would add that feature in the next gen and id get that depending on the RF. for pro use its not there yet with these. Im sure they all work well for like youtube studios or vlogging etc.
Same here. It is not even a stable predictable buzz that can be removed post. It changes and comes and goes.
Came to the comment section to see if anyone else caught that. That interference was brutal. I get that too from my Rode Go, but never that loud and now I set my phone to airplane mode to be safe.
The Wireless Go 2 has tons of problems from the battery to the updates. I won't recommend it.
Happy Thanksgiving, Gene! Love your vids. 🤘🏼
Just watched this - great video review - went to buy it and it's not out in UK until March 2022. Keep up the good work!
Gene!!! Are you planning to continue with your vlog channel? I miss it so much!
It's nice to have 2 mics and can internally record as well as send to a reciever. My biggest issue is non removable batteries. If I depleat a battery, production stops until it's charged. Battery swaps would be a plus feature. The record button can be a recessed pres and hold. That could solve that problem.
Perhaps they can make a small attachable battery that hooks to the USB port.
@@AmitZinmanVideo they exist, just hook up a small battery bank
@@BenDunlop I was looking for one, and couldn't find something that would fit the size and the weight.
@@kennehtk 14hrs, technically but realistically about 5hrs without external power.
@@kennehtk I got them from another review, can look for the link.
I’ve watched a few reviews of this system so far, and everything looks really solid.
The history on Pita was the best.
Dylan’s part AMAZING
OH and very informative PJ.
Thank you.
I thought I really liked the Wireless Go 2...but the DJI mic somehow just feels a TINY bit fuller. And it gets rid of SO much background noise - like the bike chain.
The Rode sound better DJI sounds really good
Wow, this these are crushing it. If they can patch the record to lock and unlock by pressing a couple buttons together, I'll totally be adding these to my kit.
The best Potato you can get on Thanksgiving Day! Thanks for the Mavic Drone Gene!
Seeing as I just bought the Go 2 I’ll be sticking with that for a while. I don’t think I’m missing out on much though.
I’m with you
Didn't even mention the fact that you can monitor audio right out of the receiver! As someone who uses Sony cameras with a mic input and no headphone out, that is a huge feature!
The Rode does this too
@@AaronNovak1 So the huge range of the DJI means you could use them like an intracom or walkie-talkies when cycling? (one-way, at least) That answers one of my questions well.
Often a couple or group will get split by a red light or a climb ... no waiting around.
@@ericd7709 I’m sure there are cheaper better options for that.
this is the best sponsored segment i've seen on the whole youtube universe. thank you for being on top of things
Happy thanksgiving and thank you for all your content
just ordered 30 minutes ago 🤣🤣🤣
The sound is ok for the most part but... this is essentially DJIs first crack at a mic/audio recording solution. Given DJIs past issues with releasing products not quite ready for market, I would wait until version 2. No firmware is going to fix that RF interference because thats a shielding issue. The battery case is cool. I have one for my wireless Go 2 arriving next week
im sure they purposely didn't add shielding, so they can put that in the 2nd version as a reason to upgrade
Yeah. I really hope it doesn't suffer from the same issues I heard people with the Rode Go 2 suffer from (especially with Sony cameras). I own a Rode Go 1 and a7S III and I'm constantly looking for videos like this to decide what I should get: DJI or Rode Go 2.
The problem I have is that whenever the Receiver is close to the camera's mic input jack there's really annoying interference captured. You have to move it to the grip on the right side to get it to stop (easy enough if you have a cage with a cold shoe there and a longer cable but not ideal).
Partially a fault of the camera's lack of good shielding, but if you play your cards right and buy from a place that has a return policy, you can just test it day 1 and see. If the shielding is crap, send it back. Sooooo, I don't know if DJI would want half of their products returned or something, or are they imagining it's only going to be used on action cameras?
However... what we saw and heard in this video was that there were problems "sometimes"... So is that still shielding? Wouldn't those problems appear like every time? If a reboot fixed it then maybe software has a part to play in all of this? I don't know... Just speculation (obviously more testing is required).
On the other hand they are experts on wireless transmission, and RODE is not.
Yes better to wait looks like they might have rushed this product to market.
@@mazzdacon2134 Yeah. It feels like they did something there alongside the Action Cam, since they were announced together, but the Action Cam taking most of the spotlight.
"Common guys, we need good audio for this camera"
"But it's not ready yet"
"JUST DO IT!" (Shia LaBeouf)
How did I miss this you’re riding at the Benicia state park!!
Nate
I just went on DGI’s website and bought one of these I’m super excited for it
Hey!
Great video, I have a suggestion for future mic comparison videos.
It is awesome that you record the same thing at the same time with both systems, though I would have liked the audio switch to be in the middle of a word/sentence a little bit more often and not at a natural paus.
Sounds good, but the DJI did sound slightly muddier. The high pitched noise sounds like unshielded microphone cable getting close to a transmitter. Try testing this by bringing the microphone cable near the transmitter to see if the noise comes and goes as you move the cable closer and further. I suspect that the DJI isn’t shielded or compensating or has it’s antenna in a position that will cause that issue more frequently than the Rode.
Note that both external lav mics were by Rode (SmartLav+ ?). It may be that DJI relies more on shielded cables, and Rode relies more on 'balanced' +/- signals and 'common-mode rejection'.
DJI is missing a market opportunity by not making and selling a matched lav mic. Surprising for them to miss an accessory out! There are plenty of 3rd parties that would make to order cheap, for them to mark up the price.
There may be timing issues if both the mics and the recorder are 'smart' and try to adapt between the 3.5mm jack specifications (TRS/TRRS). Sometimes just re-plugging or hot/cold plugging makes a difference.
It’s amazing that these mic manufacturers are still not baking this stuff in as 32-bit float. The Zoom F2 has literally no competition and it bothers me because I like DJI and I love Rode.
Also, the hum is a crazy deal-breaker for my use case.
size
Zoom F2 seems really nice, but it's just a recorder, not a transmitter. So it's not competing, different product. I want to be able to monitor the sound when I record it, lavalier can ruffle on cloth.
@@SeaUrchinFilms That’s a great argument.
The Tentacle Sync Track E records 32 bit audio. Their timecode sync system is pretty nice.
Really enjoy all of your reviews and they way you involve Kerry and Dillion. Keep up the great work.
I need this!!! Looks so easy to use and sound quality is impressive.
Well dang, I think this will be one of my nest upgrades. We have a bunch of bike rides coming up and this would be perfect!! Thank for sharing. And your hiking thought sounded so much like us.
The fact that i dont need the app sold me on the dji. Thank you so much for rocking this video!!!!
These seem really cool! Hopefully the issue w the lavs is fixed for production, because if so this might be the perfect addition to my audio kit’
I like the way that all wireless mic have a problem of loosing signal. The backup audio memory is essential.
Happy Thanksgiving! I was just looking t this mic on BH and threw it in my cart waiting fro more reviews and boom...my favorite RUclips :)
Hey buddy, thanks for this video. This excites me to pair with my dji action2. Please do announce when the product is out for us to grab.
This is exactly why I wanted the rode wireless go 2 mics. All my recent videos on my personal RUclips channel are me and Katie and our corgi hiking through Colorado. Having 2 wireless mics makes a world of difference as we are talking, and lol panting up high elevation gains. I have experienced some high hiss noise and sometimes one of the mics either dropping or being accidentally muted. But overall I as I continue shooting hiking vids, guides in this vlog format I will always have two wireless mics with me.
this is most creative review I have ever seen in my life😂😂 very nice review!!🔥
Thank you for comparison. These hum noises only in A7 cameras? Have you tried other lav mics?
The thumbs up is for the excellent “message from our sponsor “. Dylan just nailed it.
dude I love Dylan doing these ad spots!!!
great sponsor integration! oh also great mic comparison.
C’mon dude. Almost there! A million subs. Wish you get there soon.
These look ace. I’ll be picking them up!
nice video great comparison. With recording from camera with both mics at the same time, will you be able to split the audio in post?
Cool Product ... thank you for the video!
It's always great to make these videos timeless at the end
Looks like a great option! 2 questions: 1. Doest it work with the C70, and 2. would I hate myself if I sold my Diety connect system for this to be more portable, is there a huge quality downgrade? Thanks!
Thanks for your video! I am new to the channel enjoying the content.
Have these issues being resolved by DJI?
This has got to be the best sponsored segment I've ever heard in a review video. And on a roof too!
Forget about the Mic. Dylan Just killed it with that sponsor plugs!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Great video! It happened to record and mono is there a way to separate the two receivers onto separate audio channels, or are they baked in to the footage for good?
THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD! THANK YOU!
Amazing super honest review 🔥🔥🔥
Keep making contents 👍👍
Great video review man. I was informed and entertained. Ha!
I just have to say... that was the BEST sponsor explanation I've ever heard!!! lol
Happy Thanksgiving! Please update us on your vlog channel!! Curious to see what your thoughts are on the new MacBooks
