8:03 Shure MVL Lavalier
Which one would you say is the best?
@@linatuartMy ears says the Shure MVL but I could be wrong 😂
This video is an absolute godsend. There are an overwhelming number of positive reviews and a very small percentage of negative reviews for the DJI Mic. The issue in almost every single negative review is solved by this video. Nicely done.
You guys just saved me from the severe heartbreak of buying the wrong lapel mic for the DJI Wireless Microphone. I am beyond grateful for this video. If you stop making content, your absence will be greatly felt online.
What lav mic did you buy for your Dji transmitter?
@@RomainBessong thanks brother🙏🏽
Hola no hablo el idioma me podrías decir cuál fue el lavalier que mejor le va al Dji mic
this is sooooooooooo helpful
Great comparison. Will you consider repeating this for the new DJI Mic 2 that's currently available with the DJI Pocket 3 creator combo but is likely to be released separately soon? Will be interesting to see whether there's any differences in using each of these mics with the updated transmitter.
Absolutely.
Thank you for testing all these mics Stewart! I don't even own these DJI mics but I know how beneficial it can be for the owners. Imagine the frustration if someone had bought a Rode Lav thinking it was a high quality mic and it was completely useless to them. But what annoys me is that, for $329, DJI could had just thrown in a pair of compatible Lav mics in the package so there is no chance to get it wrong. Come on, DJI !!!
For sure, it's a bit odd. The Røde Lavalier Go is a brilliant mic and it works perfectly with the Røde Wireless Go II. We tested 9 mics with the RWG2 and only 1 had problematic interference: ruclips.net/video/G0EbeF0HP2U/видео.html
No interference with the DJI mic and my rode lavalier go ! It’s a perfect combo !
The Shure Lav doesn't need an adapter on the Dji Mic, is that correct?
oh man, thanks for this video. will be SUPER curious how the newest Rode Lavalier 2 fair against the Shure.
Thanks! Because of the locking 3.5mm jack on the Rode Lavalier 2, I don't think it will work with the DJI Mic unless you can find an adapter.
@@DroneFilmGuide The locking part could be unscrewed, so it will connect. It would be interesting to see if it makes the interference just like the Rode 1 does. Any possibility you could try it?
what about Rode SmartLav+ ?!
I've honestly never paid this much attention to a wireless mic but once DJI drops something, it sudddenly becomes interesting. This mic looks like the real deal!
Whats the small tripod your using in the video ? :) Also do you have any suggestion for an handheld mike lavalier for the Hollyland Landmark Max ?
We always use RODE I am glad I happened across this video, I used your link and grabbed a couple of the Shure's
Could anyone tell me if the issue regarding Rode's lav still has the interference issue with the DJI Mic now that 8 months have passed since the initial video? Or does the problem still persist?
Just got mine with the latest firmware, and our first recording session was ruined with the interference from the Rode Lav mics (usually 0 interference with their wireless Go counterparts). It doesn't happen if you don't take the receiver out of the box and go directly into the transmitter but that solution is not ideal. Considering returning the DJI now :(
@@GwilymJames 🤦♂️
I wonder if a firmware update on the DJI Mic system can fix that interference with the Rode Lav. This DJI Mic system is a direct competitor to the Rode Go II system and I'm guessing a LOT of people will want to use the Rode Lav or newer Rode Lav 2 with it.
it's more of a hardware-problem.
which lav should i use if i’m filming outdoors in the woods?
I use the Rode Lav Go with my DJI Mics & they work just fine.
@@stheshooter lucky. I have two lav go's and they have very noisy RF sadly. Great mics when not paired with the DJI.
@@GwilymJames I spoke to soon...lol they worked fine for 2 gigs & now they don't 🤦♂️
Stewart, PotatoJet [I think] reported that when using the DJI Mic into an iPhone it is MIXED MONO ONLY. Is that true? That would suck. I think this would be much better with iPhone than the Rode Wireless Go II, but [with the Rode SC15 Lightning USB Type-C to Lightning Accessory Cable , the RWG2 IS full stereo into an iPhone. Can you tell us how the DJI Mic records into iPhone? Mono only [like Potato Jet says] ? Or full stereo? DJI email replied MONO only and a DJI support email said the same. BUT the Rode Wireless Go with Rode SC15 does STEREO perfectly. Doesn’t that give the RWG a great advanced? Despite the obvious fact it doesn’t connect as simply? Your words of wisdom and experience are much appreciated . - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed Vloggers ]
Sooooo....I purchased the Power DeWIse dual mic kit based on this video and I'm happy to say the mics sound great paired with the DJI mic kit. HOWEVER....and let me know if anyone else has this issue...When I got the kit, I was surprised to see the use of magnets along with the mic clips. But I thought it might be a flexible solution to mic'ing people. The PROBLEM is that ALL of the magnets in my kit repel each other.....so it's useless to attach the mic unit to the actual clip. I have to do this weird clipping to the cable thing to actually make it work properly. Has anyone else experienced this and/ or had resolved by the company ?
Thank you for doing this, perfect timing too. I’m thinking of buying the DJI microphone system because of your videos.
So glad I watched this video before buying the DJI mic! You saved my from a massive headache! Love your channel’s content 💯🫡🙌🏼
thank you so much for this video, this was extremely helpful
I am for SHURE buying the dji mic when it goes on sale, almost bought the rode wireless go ii but the transmitter gain adjustment is what made me not purchase the rode system, also the case for easy transport. As for these lav mics if you have 300e to spend on the wireless system don't skimp out on the lav mic... for me the SHURE lav will be a purchase alongside the dji mic. great series on the DJI mic probably the best coverage on YT, great work.
Thank you!
I cant hear a problem with the Rode Lavalier. I have the latest firmware
Some feedback on your Synco S6E wired lav recommendation. I was putting off buying the Sony blogging camera, so I bought that mic and plugged it into my Canon camcorder. I literally could hear a sports radio broadcast being recorded better than I could my voice underneath it. Don't buy this if you're in the US🤦♂️It's a better antenna here than it is a microphone...lol
Thanks for that we are going to get some based on your video 👍
Talk about bespoke content. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and it's such a well made video. Fucking props to this guy for nailing the niche
Odd, I don't get any RF interference with my Rode Lavalier Go with the RX turned on or off. I prefer the better Bass tones on it compared to my Shure MVL. Great video as usual Stewart.
Could it be that it got fixed with some sort of firmware update, if that is even possible?
I have Rode Wireless GO II with Rode Lavaliers and want to switch to DJI Mic but keep the lavaliers..
And this video keeps me from buying the DJI Mic system 😅
@@mmargan I think a lot of the reviews from 6 months ago were using pre-production versions of the kit. My DJI Mic with the Lag Go purchased two weeks ago also doesn't suffer from any interference. So perhaps they added better shielding between the pre-prod and production versions....
@@richdavis1976 great info, thank you!
If you want to use RodeMic mit Dji Mic without interference just put 5-10 layers of aluminium foil arounds lavalier connector and the interference is 100% solved :-)
Does the Rode Lavalier 2 have the same issue do you know?
Nice. Thank you. I was able to score two new Shure MVL mics for 35.00 dollars each!
thank you sir! great info
That's disappointing that it has a noise floor with these lav mics. I am really looking for something more high quality to be honest. I wonder do you have the rode lavalier ii to test. I am refreshing the dji mic page every few days to see when it becomes available. Very excited about it and want to make sure I also have the best lav for it.
already own the Rode lav so I might be better upgrading my Rode Wireless Go to the II version instead if the DJI mic :( I wonder if this can be fixed with firmware??
This is exactly what i needed , thank so much for taking the time and testing each one of these mics with the DJI mic system.. you saved me a lot of time..Subbed & One Love brother
Hello. Thanks for this in-depth review. Have you had the chance of testing the Rode Lavalier II with the DJI Mic ?
I have two questions: How do i know if a lavalier works without the mentioned interference? I am planning on buying the countryman b3 lavalier. Question number 2 is, is the audio quality only dependent on the lavalier itself or also on the transmitter it is plugged in to? I would be very grateful for a response!
DJI Mic is not working with S20+, works with Other samsung phone, any help?
Stewart, you say that the source of interference is the DJI receiver because the interference is only present when it is turned on. Whilst this is likely, it is not necessarily so. Let me try and explain why. If the communication between the transmitter and receiver is a duplex link, it is possible that the transmitter does not start transmitting until it ‘hears’ that the receiver is turned on. If the transmitter detects that the receiver is turned on, the transmitter starts to transmit and causes the interference. So when the receiver is turned off, the transmitter detects this and stops transmitting. So, in this scenario, the interference could be coming from the transmitter and not the receiver. This would require a duplex link between the transmitter and receiver. If the link is only a simplex link, then yes, the source of interference is more likely to be the transmitter. If it’s a digital communication link between the transmitter and receiver, then a duplex link is quite likely. I hope this makes sense!!
Observationally, you also stated that if you increase the distance between the receiver and transmitter, the interference does NOT go away. This strongly suggests that the interference is not originating from the receiver because if it was, the inverse square law tells us that the interference should decrease with distance. You also stated that the interference stays the same as you increase the distance between the receiver and transmitter. This is because while you were doing that test, the distance between the transmitter and microphone remained constant and hence the interference. In other words all of this is consistent with the transmitter, and not the receiver, being the cause of interference!! Hope all of this makes sense!!
Useful feedback thank you! Makes sense as it's the transmitter that has to transmit the RF signal (up to 250m in the case of DJI's stated range) so that's likely to make it the source of the interference, albeit it's the switching on of the receiver that triggers the issue. Cheers!
Love your videos. Strong clear concise information. I wonder if the Rode system would give the same results. Cheers
Thank you! No, the Rode doesn't suffer from lav interference. We tested all 8 mics again and even when the DJI receiver and transmitter were switched on right next the Rode transmitter and receiver we couldn't get interference. If these results are the same for everyone then it's a big win for the Rode if you don't want to have to worry about lav interference.
Thank you so much! I'm goind to order that Shure just right now over your link!
PS. I love your accent. That is Scottish right?
Anyway, thank you again and keep up the good work!
Cheers from Canada. ☺
What I was asking myself: Is it necessary to connect the DJI receiver with a device like Phone/Camera/Notebook or is it optional? I know it's actually the main perk, but when I am thinking of using my gimbal connecting the reciever with the phone would (maybe) cause some issues with the gimbals weight distribution. So: Can I record without connecting it? Thanks for any answer!
Yes you can, I believe each transmitter can record up to 14hrs of uncompressed audio without the need to use the receiver too
I have pre ordered the DJI mic does anyone know when they will be shipping? I seems like tons of people on youtube have it.
Great video. I wish I would have watched it and your other video describing how the sennheiser m2 mics with locking mechanism do not work with the DJI Wireless Mic set before my first shoot with them. We had to use the DJI kit without external mics.
(****UPDATE**** I did experience intermittent buzzing every so often with the RØDE Lavalier Go Mics. It wasn't super loud and had the same frequency all the time so I'm hoping I can remove it in post. I think the cable is so thin, it is unshielded and the mic is mean for a local recorder, not a wireless one. I will try one of your recommendations for next time. Unfortunately for this shoot, I'll have to stick to these as nothing is in stores now. Bummer) I did go to a local store and bought what they had (the RØDE - Lavalier GO) as I have the second day of shooting tomorrow. I did quick tests and didn't get the interference you were talking about. This is in USA, so perhaps they use a different frequency that doesn't cause the buzzing you experienced. I'll let you know if tomorrow I find otherwise. Again, thanks for the information. ***Read Update Above***
in conclusion? witch one is the best to buy?
Wondering, if this interference happens to Rode SmartLav+, does anyone has chance to test it?
I just tried it with a SmartLav+... I don't hear any interference. Also, I saw a video where someone used a different 1/8" stereo cable to connect the RX to the camera and it solved the issue. Maybe the stock cable isn't great quality or something? Mine is brand new as of earlier today, so I haven't noticed a problem yet.
btw, ebay has SmartLav+ open box for $20ea.
How about testing some more high-end lav mics too, like the ones from deity or sennheiser? I asked deity if their lav mics would be a good combination but they told me they were not sure...
So if you would do some more high-end lav mic-tests it would be great!
I bought the AGPTEK off these recommendations, i’ve gone to use it with the dji mic and its not working. Not sure if there needs to be certain settings on the dji mic to enable a lav? Am i doing something wrong? Or have i gotten unlucky with being sent a broken lav?
super content.. btw can you share your podcast light setup?
may be production versions of these wireless transmitters will have better default frequency (May be you could change the frequency and test again?). what do you think ?
Just changed from rode to dji and I hate the dji!
Performs terrible in my line of work (I record bodybuilders in loud gyms) as it just picks up so much background noise compared to the rode
I found a fix for the rose lav rode video mics etc… run them through an cheap extension cable ! No interference then … sad that these
Any recommendations for the DJI pocket 2 with the wireless dongle thing.
Wild. Seems like more of a DJI issue since it doesn’t happen on other transmitters?
We have a similar video for the Rode Wireless Go 2 and it also exhibits interference from time to time but it's not as much of an issue as the DJI mic.
Is there a difference in sound quality between recording with a lav mic versus recording directly to the receiver(edit: I meant transmitter)? Just trying to get into recording so I'm fairly new to this.
No, not really. The internal mic on the transmitter is really high quality and gives a nice rich sound. This is what we are using in our RUclips videos now. The lav mics all have subtle differences if you really get into it but the main difference is the application. The setup we are using works fine because I'm sitting at a desk and don't mind having the mini tripod and transmitter in the shot. But if you want to conceal it or walk about outside, the a lav mic will give you more options. Sound-wise, most of these lavs sound similar to the DJI internal mic. The exception is probably the Shure MVL which has less bass and mids.
Great video, thanks for the full production, hope you’re getting sponsorship soon if you don’t already.
Amazing tests.. but Wow.. what a sad news about the Rode mic... I just bought the DJI mic and your video is now 2 years old.. Do you have any idea if this interference issue has been solved in 2023?
Anyone know why my MKE2 lav mic is not working at all with my DJI Mic? It's not picking up the signal from the mic at all, and only recording audio from the built in mic.
Be warned. The "top pick" Shure MVL does not sound fantastic. There is essentially ZERO bass in the sound making the voice sound extremely flat and dull. The "eq fix" this video refers to does not exist. Because the bass in the signal does not exist.
Yeah I bought the MVL and it sounds thin to me, looking for something else
My DJI Mic Mobile Phone Adapter (Lightning) snapped in 1/2!! How do you replace it? :(
Have you tried with Rode Lav 2?
Thanks for this video. I just orderd the DJI setup and am in need of a LAV mic. This was so helpful in making my decision. As I'm using this on a professional level, it made sense to just how ith the Shure unit. I don't have time to play with what is working and what is not and why... Again, this video was so helpful. Thank you!! This was an easy subscription decision. Keep up the great work.
Hi, still good after months? No issue with MVL-DJI pairing? Thanks
W quality and thank you for saving us all from the interference challenges!
i dont understand.. I have DJI MIC and have used the TRRS Rode Lavalier and it works fine.. but it is being said that TRRS are for mobile phones mostly? So my question why my TRRS Rode Lavalier work when you say all mics need to adapted to TRS?
PSA in case anyone is in my boat with a DJI Mic 2, the Shure MVL does not work with the Mic 2
How on earth are you getting no hissing with the DJI mic? Every video I have seen has a lot of hiss and it is putting me off getting one. You're the only one that has no noise, please let me know :(
Great review! And no worries about buying 8 of them, you can just send me the extras ;)
I know this is counter-intuitive BUT would it help using a ground loop isolator with hose LAVs that suffer?
To go from these TRRS jacks to a 1/4 input, can I just use a standard 3.5mm to 1/4 adapter or do I need something special? Or do i need to stack TRRS to TRS then to the 3.5 to 1/4 lol?
My BOYA BY-M1 has a big noise floor and doesn't capture properly the sound from couple of cm away from my mouth, I can't put it on my shirt or anything because the mic will not capture the voice.
Thank you so much for this test! Anyone know if the Rode Lav 2 is any improvement or even works?
yes!!!! you are the F*CKEN Best for buying 8... just what I love doing... glad.!!! subscribed.
Hi, thanks for your content! I'm using a dpi pocket mobile camera. I want to do video interviews, so need TWO cavalier mics. Is there a recommendation for a setup for that? Thanks
I like that you cranked the gain up for some of them. Really hoping this system shows up before my shoot at the end of January. I'm excited about the features and apparent quality of this dji mic. Reviews on the Shure indicate that the cord is pretty flimsy. Does that seem accurate in your observations?
Thanks for your review. Please tell me if the Rode Lavalier || fits the DJI Mic, will there be noise??? because it came to me today in the mail and I haven't tested it yet.
if i can add my experience.. just tried one AGPTEK and iRIG MIC LAV.. without any bad interference! :) yohooo!
Thanks so much for putting this vid together - super helpful content - I keep getting questions on my channel about lavs for DJI Mic and I always refer them to your vid :)
Anyone have any tips on how to use this for musicians with an iPhone? Not being able to hear / playback audio from the phone while the mic is plugged in is a huge obstacle that makes it almost useless when trying to record music with it on the phone :( I keep having to unplug it, to listen back to my takes and I can’t sing and hear background music at the same time. Anyone have a solution?
what about the RODE VideoMic GO will that work, yes i know mixing two compeditors but i dont like the rode wireless go, just dosent sound as good but the RODE VideoMic GO is better but i still want to use that as wireless
I didn't realize the road Mike had 32 bit float point! 😊 I love DJI products they're usually super well made. I liked how the receivers were so small. I'm regretting it a tiny bit though. 😊
I'm really confused why no one tests an actually good lav mic like a Sennheiser?! How much better would it sound with a $300 lav?!
Stewart! Thanks for this video!! Picked up 4 Shure MVL's because of this video. I have two receivers connected to a Tascam Portacapture X8 for some delicious 32-bit float action.
Curious, I notice the gain is much quieter with the Shure lav than with the onboard mic on the DJI Mic. Would you recommend I turn up the gain on the transmitter, the receiver, the recorder, or a combination of two or all three?
My Shure MVL just arrived today. I also use it with the Tascam X8. I noticed the same with my Rode+ lav.I did notice the noise floor was also quieter. I am now curious what an even higher quality lab would sound like with the DJI Mic, especially with the noise that comes from the wire rubbing. Do you experience with any laws of higher quality than the Shure MVL?
Funny that you didn´t test the DJI lavalier mic for 40 euro! But thank you for the video!
I happen to have the Boya mic already. Even though the cable is long, I wish that you had included the full testing with it. Did you get a sense that the sound quality was actually very good with no interference?
+1 it would be nice to know if there was interference or not. Long cable isn't an issue for me at all!
@@DecoratewithManas I just tested it with my DJI. No interference at all. Dead quiet.
I know this is a year later, but there was no interference at all with my boya.
Can't we record all the time witgout receptor?
Using 1 less item, and then, being able to use any mic seem convenient
What are the pros of using the receptor?
Do the AGPTEK and VoJoPi need a TRRS to TRS adapters to work with the DJI mic, please?
In my testing I also had the interference sound from the Rode Lavalier Go but the reason for it was that it comes standard as a trrs, you need to buy a trrs to trs adapter and then the interference goes away.
where did you get the stand for DJI mic from?
I can’t get any of these mics that you recommended in America at least not the cheapest Apgtek or the shure MVL I’m not sure if the latter is the same because it’s $70
To confirm the Rode lavalier Go does NOT work with the DJI Mic if transmitting??
I’m just learning about this stuff, can someone explain why you are using lav mic with this system?
Is the transmission interference still an issue with mentioned microphones? currently looking to purchase lav mics.
Nice vid! Is this your fav portable wireless mic system for an iPhone set up while traveling? Rode? Saramonic?
Thoughts?
Thanks!!!
Neither of the first two recommended ones are sold on Amazon US anymore lol. Go figure, right when I need it.
Do you know if the DJI system works well with Sennheiser lavaliers like the MKE 2?
What about the Rode Lav 2? Does the Rode Lav Go have interference with the Rode go 2?
Because of the locking 3.5mm jack I don't think it will connect properly to the DJI transmitter. Our Sennheiser ME2 doesn't connect properly.
Thank you so much! I was so disappointed when I used my Rode mic and heard the interference. I assumed it was a problem with the DJI mic. I’m going to order the MVL right now! Much appreciated. -Ed
thank you for this helpful informative video, i'm looking for a white Lav for DJI Mic, what do you recommend. Thank you
Thanks for this. I'd like to see the mics tested in a noisy environment though. That's where the truth comes out.
Did you try putting a choke on any of the mics to see if that killed the RF?
I like it man, straight to the point. I also like that none of the mics were sent by the companies. That makes it hard to believe the tests. Ordering the Shure now
Question: i did not get if the interference is picked up also in the internal recording of the TX or just on Receiver end?
Can you do the same video with DJI Mic 2? The shure lav doesn't seem to work on those
You have given us too many options. I am not sure to buy which one for dji wireless mic. Which one will be your final recommendation for me.
