This is so much better of a video than the standard DJI influencer guys who just run through the specs and don’t even explain things. Nice job on the video. I’m trying to decide if I want just a transmitter or spring for the transmitter with receiver combination. I probably will use it primarily with the pocket 3 but maybe the phone and/or Sony camera occasionally.
Thankyou! For starters I love that you get the option to just buy the transmitters individually because they are super useful by themselves half the time that’s how I’ve used them. With that said, the charging case alone is super handy so I’d prob lean toward the kit if you plan on ever wanting to use it with a cam it’s still super nice to have the receiver
Hello, what gain settings do you recommend when using this mic with the iPhone 16 Pro? I don't speak too loud, and find that my voice sounds a little muffled after I record.
I am only halfway through this video and it's already one of my favorite reviews of action cam / lav mic products ever. This concise but deep level of detail, with no rambling, really makes this video stand out and is more informative than the past five or six that I've watched. Thank you!
I just ordered this mic it should be here by Wednesday sometime. I've just received my Osmo action 5 camera a few weeks ago then a friend told me about this mic, so here I'm being blown away on your video.. the questions I was going to ask a question or 2 or 3 and you took care of that in the first few minutes. Big thank you for making it understandable.
Good video at a good pace and the information delivered with clarity 👍 I was relieved and delighted that there was nothing manic about this informative video. No hundred miles an hour wacky delivery or cutting away to irritating memes. Also, not having any pointless underlying music running throughout was a huge relief. The video was comprehensive, delivered in a clear engaging way that leaves a viewer informed and able to use the DJI mic kit with confidence. Definitely a classy review. Top work! 👍
Hi Ben! I appreciate all your videos on the DJI Mic 2! Great job.. I recently bought this DJI Mic 2 system. I am having the hardest time finding the correct settings to use. When i insert my video clips using the wireless mic.. it sounds like crap! I am using filmora 13 and even if i max the sound clip in the filmora progam..it is not loud enought. Any suggestions. i have both receiver and transmitter set to +9 and the low cut off and I am only using one mic and it is set to Mono. Can you plese give me the settings you used for this video. Your sound is crisp and amazing! Any help appreciated!! Rico
Wanted to echo the sentiment that this was an absolutely brilliant review of the DJI. I know a lot of people go back and forth about what is better - DJI vs Rode, but I ended up grabbing this DJI Mic 2 and it’s an absolute game changer from the $10 PopVoice Lav mic I was using so thank you for breaking down all of the features! Hugely helpful.
Thanks for the encouraging comment! Both the rode and DJI are great, I personally prefer the DJI for me because I find it overall faster and easier to use because of the interface, and that it connects with my osmo, but the rode is fantastic as well in its own right and has some good pro features that others may find very suited for them
18:24 what i heard that the transmitter itself need to link up with receiver to get the 32bit float function. Meaning if I buy transmitter only, the 32bit float function is not there. Is it true?
Thank you so much for this. I was about to return the MIC2 set which I'd borrowed from a friend. Cos it seemed like just too much for a novice like me. But after watching your video, I'm charged up to begin using it. And I even believe I'll be able to master it. Well done!
Thank you for this video. I was trying to find how to use the two transmitter at the same time and which configuration to use so the audio from one mic doesn’t get picked up by the other mic
thank you watched in full understood everything, waiting on my exchange like the idea of the Auto off with the Rx, the only downside is DJI dedicated to the OTG, and no hot shoes like the camera, where they can make a Right angle, and screen swap, to use with the camera. too bad my Sony ZV1M2 is not bluetooth Lol catchy title Unlocked, nothing was locked Lol
Great post , well done ! So the mic2 can trigger a capture remotely by pressing the link button. But how does it differentiate photo trigerring from video trigerring ?
Going to pile on more praise ... this is a great tutorial; very succinct and clear. This should be THE defacto DJI Mic 2 tutorial; 'LIKED/SAVED' in my favorites folder.
"Thank you, the tutorial was spectacular. Even something as simple as swiping up or down to find the menus, I couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks for your time
Thanks for video! I've seen some videous with major issues of this set. For example the sound from both mics is very different (Wayne RECs video). I hope you'll make a review video with some test as well
@@benjohnsoncreative Thank you for your answer and solid work with reviews. Especially with gear that is very professional, but still afordable. I've been waiting for 6 month for DJI Mic 2 and feel a bit disappointed after watching videos mentioning issues. I'm going to wait some more weeks and hope DJI Mic 2 turns our to be really professional stuff
Wayne’s video is great, but I have to disagree with the «very different» statement ;) They where different, but not *very*, as in fixable with some EQ, and probably not very noticeable if the mics where put on two different people with different voice characteristics :) I made a video myself about another issue, affecting people who where hoping to use it with smartphones - in bluetooth mode backuo recordings are disabled for some odd reason, and for those hoping to just buy a transmitter/mic and use it with a smartphone it turns out you can’t switch on 32 bit float if you just have the mic and want to record just on the mic, not connected to a smartphone - dji have a little explaining to do the coming days - take a look at the video for more details :)
@@AndreSjoberg I agree that with two different people you probably would never even notice slightly different microphone performance. I’m trying to decide if I just want to buy a transmitter or the transmitter with receiver combination. I will probably use it primarily with the pocket 3 but may occasionally use it with my phone and Sony camera.
@@Reviews4fun1 Currently the only way to turn on 32 bit float (off by default), and turn off the low cut filter (on by default) is through the receiver, so having just the mic/transmitter doesn’t give you access to all the features (this *might* change with firmware updates, depending on if the transmitter is dependent on some weird mojo in the receiver, even though the recording is stored on the transmitter). Depending on your recording scenarios (talking head at a desk vs running around) having access to the receiver at least at the desk scenario, might be a plus - and since the mic doesn’t work with iphone native video (if you use that) and it doesn’t give you gain setting in blackmagic camera app, the receiver is the only way to adjust gain on the mic as well. So my advice would be to get the tx/rx combo, especially since they don’t sell the rx-unit separately, if *any of the scenarios I described earlier applies to your usecase - I’m doing a usecase-video this week on my channel of the different scenarios and what limitations arise from each scenario if you’re interested in anything like that, with audio tests of different modes/features and a couple of «hidden quality of life features» I’ve found useful :)
Im confused should I buy just the transmitter or the receiver and transmitter or the both mics and receiver. It’s really hard to decide. Though I have a DJI osmo action 4 camera.
I recently bought a second transmitter so I could have 2 transmitters connected at the same time but I can only connect one of the transmitters to the receiver at one time. They both connect individually but not together. I’ve tried factory reset changing the Bluetooth, firmware update and nothing has worked. It seems the only way is to buy the DJI case which is a real shame
Thanks for this video Ben., no hype ad plenty of useful information, presented extremely well. One question: you mention being able to swap out a transmitter if you have, say a third unit. Presumably you cannot connect the receiver to more than two transmitters at any one time?
Great video. Just one point about the phone adaptors. When you try to connect the receiver to a phone, in my case an iPhone 12, they dont fit properly to the connection on the phone when the phone has a protective case on it! Most people use a protective case in my experience, so this is a bit of a design fault as the adapter should have a longer stem to accommodate the extra thickness of the case?
sorry if this is a dumb question as I am new to this, but what should I set the receiver gain to if I am using DJI Osmo Action 4? or are the receiver settings only for when using an external camera? thanks best video I have seen for explaining the functions.
Just made a firmware update tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/CPiyg3djJ_k/видео.htmlsi=SOZtIgI7stD6hcGh
do you use the built in noise cancel? i prefer to do it in post

Excellent video. Concise yet thorough. This is how walkthroughs should be done.
Thankyou I appreciate the feedback, that’s a balance I strive for with these!
Best tutorial i’ve seen on the mic2 yet. 👍

Very helpful for someone who has never used this audio recorder before. Thank you for this through walkthrough!
I’m glad it helped!
2 Questions one.. Does it have a MUTE anymore?? also if the RX is plugged into my iPhone with the USB-C will the sound work?
Yes!
Excellent faultless delivery and explanations with no waffle . Impressive.
Thanks Tom!
Very useful information about the 32 bit recording only in the transmitter. That was exactly what I was trying to figure out too.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for Detailed Explanation in simple understandable words with full practical.
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Oh! Didn't know we could swipe up from below a recorder and edit the options there. Nice! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Thanks man for the awesome Vid! Congrats for 200 k!
I watched so many videos on how to set the gains on cam and on DJI 2 and this one got it right. Thanks.
Glad it worked for ya! Thanks for watching Luke

22:42 Hey!
What exactly intelligence voice cancelling does?
It blocks the ambient noise from the vocal making it quieter and the vocal more clear.
@@RobnDob Thanks 👍☺️
Thanks for the video. Your relinking section however does not explain how to relink if one bought the version without the charging case.
Thanks for this useful information
Does it connect to action3?
Awesome video very informative! Looking to wear these when im bowling for my channel.
Glad I could help!
Well done, top notch tutorial video!
Glad you liked it!
I think the rode sounds better. Which do you prefer ?
There’s a setting on DJI CALLED low cut when you turn it of it sounds so much more better
This is the tutorial I needed!!!!! Theeeeeeeeee best one. So thorough, gracias!!!😅
I'm glad it helped! 😊
Just got mine, thank you very much. That's exactly what I was looking for. Amazing Video! :D
Glad I could help!
Amazing video! Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video! Just received my Mic 2 and this was an incredibly helpful walkthrough. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! It was very helpful and understandable. I appreciate that you showed us each step of the mic set-up. ✨
Glad it was helpful!
I just got these and am so stoked to use them with my A7IV. This was such a great video man. Thanks so much for the explanation here.

Exceptional walkthrough video. I just made a couple of adjustments based on your video and it has really helped with my recordings. Thank you

Watching from India and your user guide video is completely very understanding thank you so much for this.
Subscribed based on this video. It’s amazing and legit the best, most engaging and informative walkthrough tech guide I’ve watched in MONTHS. 😊😊❤❤
Thank you for the clear explanations!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. But, can this mic be used directly with the iphone camera app?
Nice Video Thank you
Thanks for watching!
If you use mono, do you need to link both transmitters to your iPhone’s Bluetooth, or do you still need to link both transmitters?
Thank you so much for this. I was about to return the MIC2 set which I'd borrowed from a friend. Cos it seemed like just too much for a novice like me. But after watching your video, I'm charged up to begin using it. And I even believe I'll be able to master it. Well done!

Excellent overview, explanation, and directions.
Thankyou!

Gain settings on GoPro Hero 12 Black on Motorcycle Vlogging? I want one microphone to record engine roar and the other microphone to record my voice.
Can you use the bluetooth option to monitor audio remotely through your iPhone by using the transmitter and not the DaVinci app?
Excellent video the best setup video for this Mic thank you Ben 😊
Glad you liked it!
When you plug in the iPhone adapter on the receiver, does it help you monitor audio levels from your phone? Not sure if I worded that well
excellent presentation. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
cheers mate! you have help with my new DJI Mic 2! You are the best person in the world :)!!!
Thank you for this video. I was trying to find how to use the two transmitter at the same time and which configuration to use so the audio from one mic doesn’t get picked up by the other mic
Glad it helped! 🔥
@@benjohnsoncreative could u plz answer this question🙂
Thank you for this. I couldn't figure out what the yellow light was on the reciever was. Now I know it means noise cancelation.🤙

Great Video! Super helpful
Superb content. Good manner, and a great pace. Thank you.

I got this yesterday but this video is really handy 👌 thanks again
Do I need both receiver and transmitter if I were to use it with action pro 5 ?
Best video so far! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Do you think they will be good for recording car exhausts ?
Outstanding video. Great presentation. Thank you!

You can plug them into a computer via USBC and they act as a typical SD card or thumb drive would
Thx Bo$$@@benjohnsoncreative
is it possible to start the recording on both mics at the same time?
