Had DJI mics since day one and it has been flawless with the canon m50 mIi, Seems there must have been some good batches and some defective ones, and I got lucky and you not so much. Internal recording works great and has saved me a few times. Just wanted you guys to know that the non defectives ones are great and the signal is crystal clear.
Good to know! I think I am going to try it out again. I definitely had a defective unit but I’ve had some people tell me this same thing. Thanks for the comment!
@@BryceKoebel Hollyland Lark Max get this apparently its even better than the DJI mic.
I had the audio out of sync issue as well. Contacted DJI and they sent me links to the new firmware which completely fixed the issue 😅
Hey dude I believe your problem is coming from the 3rd party LAV you have connected. Try out the unit without it and see if you have the same problem. Stewart and Alina channel has a video talking about this and he goes through different LAVs to test that interference. He found that even some expensive LAVs have interference from the cable.
Nope my set did it too, even with the internal mic and no lav. But yes you are right, with some lav mics you get INTERFERENCE. DJI is not fit for pro use, Ok for bloggers etc
Had the same issues with my Rode (humming noise), it ended up going away when I changed the auxiliary cable.
Hey Bryce, as an independent filmmaker, I shoot many interviews, and reliability and sound quality is priority, and I was having the same issues with DJI Wireless Mic and Rode Wireless go, so I decided to buy the Sennheiser XSW-D Portable ENG Set, and no issues with interference or sound quality, so all my sound kit are from Sennheiser now, including a Shotgun mic the
Sennheiser MKE 600, its just a better and more professional equipment, hope this helps.
That’s great! Honestly, you can’t go wrong with Sennheiser. I’m not an audio guy, but I’ve found they always produce a clear sound and work well. I’m staying away from wireless for now and it’s too much of a headache. I’d love to get a MKE 600 one today 👌🏻
So, how is Sennheiser XSW-D? Even though it was released more than 3 years ago, would you recommend it? Any flaws?
@@ivomarks I've only used it once, and it worked well. With all wireless transmitters there will always be drawbacks or things that can go wrong.
Wow wish I watched this video before I bought it, same issue with my Sony fx3 static noise in background. For a $350 mic it’s unacceptable, the +12 made it slightly better but not to justify the $350 price tag. I will be returning mine as well, so much hype for this microphone turns out to be crap.. so disappointing
How is looking now? just did an event and use then as recorder and now I am going crazy here
Hey man, thanks so much for making this video. I ended up getting the Rode Wireless Go 2 on Prime Day (they're on the way), but then quickly researched these to make sure I'd chosen correctly. I feel like 95% of RUclips would recommend the DJI Mic over what I got, but so many people are glossing over the faults.
- There's the hiss/interference or whatever that is (deal breaker).
- The noise floor just seems way higher on the DJI, which is not cool. (The "user experience" can't compensate for that).
- DJI claim 15ms Latency, but it was measured on a review unit at over 27ms (1 frame) vs 5ms on the Rode (negligible and quite awesome), and I've only found one person who mentioned that.
Did your next set work out any better?
So the set in this video was my second set. I ended up returning them all together. But I have the Fulaim X5 now and they work great
@@BryceKoebel thanks. :) I’ll look into them.
After your video, I did a bit more research and the buzzing is not isolated. Many lavs set it off on almost all DJI mics. The rode Lav go is especially bad. Good mic, but completely incompatible with the DJI mic. Apparently in their attempts to get the range longer, DJI compromised on the shielding and the right channel is basically useless.
Then there’s the skipping. That seems to be the sign of a faulty unit.
And lastly, it looks like they can’t accept locking 3.5mm lavs, which rules out many high end mics if you ever wanted to use one. (The rode can take them. They just won’t lock).
So the DJI mics are good in theory and can work for some people, but they have major issues, and most of RUclips glosses over them or ignores them. Won’t be getting them until a version 2 fixes all that. Hopefully I won’t need them at all.
So sticking with my Rodes for now. I’ll take a look at your set though in case they’re even better or a solid backup. :)
Love your work man. Keep it up.
Do you have the same issues with the recorded copy?
I would suggest boosting gain on the receiver before the camera.
I did try this and it was cleaner, but the issue ended up being the receiver itself
just get a recorder like the zoom f2 or even a cheap zoom h1n and connect them a nice lavalier mic...the only issue is to sync the sound in post.
For only a one mic setup, the Deity Pocket is the bomb diggity! However, I’m looking for a set with dual transmitters. Glad I saw this. I was ready to order the DJI set. Guess it’s back to research.
I’m sure there have been plenty of updates! This is an older video 🙂
Quick update. Although the new firmware fixed the "out of sync" issue where internal recordings would lose 6-9 frames every 2 minutes or so, I decided to sell all my 3 sets and here's why: Currently I'm editing yet another shoot where the internal sync issue happened. 3 people and 6 exercise videos which lasted about 1.25hrs each. I am manually going over the camera audio and the internal audio and manually cutting the internal recording every 2 minutes and re-syncing it to the camera audio. This might seem like overkill, but the last project I delivered to the client had a lot of echo issues and it was horrible. The amount of hours I had to put into the project to correct the issues caused by DJI was incredible and frustrating. Having to do it once again, I find myself angry again for even having to do this extra work.
Additionally, I bought a Rode Wireless Pro system, and the added screw on adapter for the lapel mic, and the 32bit recording are just features that the DJI cannot compete with. In the last shoot, I did have issues with that one as well where the record button on the Receiver didn't always start the internal recording on the transmitters. (this depended on distance from transmitters & receiver) But now I will just set them to "ALWAYS RECORD". So, as soon as I turn them on, they will record internally. With 40hrs internal recording, it will never be an issue.
Anyway, if you are considering DJI Wireless Mic, be sure the firmware is up to date, or you'll be pulling your hair out in post. Thankfully, I don't have any. Best of luck to all.
I didn’t get it from your message, did they fix the desync problem with the new firmware or not?
"Although the new firmware FIXED the issue" that's the first comment of my previous post. So as far as I know, they have fixed it. Yes.
My complaining was about having to fix things from a previous shoot before they had fixed. (Keep in mind that, that specific shoot happened after I had received my units back from repair with a clean bill of health from DJI who had supposedly fixed the issue. Sadly they had not been fixed at the time.)
After that shoot, DJI finally release a firmware that fixed the problem.
Same problem and terrible interference with going into camera, sent back and will return to my reliable RODE GOs
Check out the Fulaim X5
Pair with the Shure MVL mic for best lav. Or maybe the Sennheiser XS. As for the Camera Røde mic, i think that there have been reported interference with several Røde camera and lav mics.
I had the sync issues, I had the noise issues, I've chatted with support, I sent it in for repair, I got it back, and I still have the noise frequency issues haha. Starting to learn my lesson.. I had similar issues with the Rode Wireless Go II as well and returned those thinking this would be the answer! Its just the other side of the same boat.
Try the Hollyland Lark Max!
DJI replaced mine with a new one (had tge same issue as you and everyone, most annoying is the skips.) And I will try it on my Saturday wedding.
Did the replacement fixed the issue?
Any update about this?
Has the version 2 fixed all these issues? Have you tried it? Deity pocket looks great too
I haven’t tried it 😩
I literally was on a 2 day shoot in Tampa using the DJI Dual set up and experienced these exact issues. I realized it after the 1st interview and started recording internally and it worked fine...but yeah what a drag when using it with a FX6 and FX3. The iPhone it works great, although not being able to split the audio when running both mics sucks.
It’s unfortunate, especially at that price point. I think I’m going to hold off on wireless recording for now.
did you ever use it with the Sony XLR-K3M Adapter and Microphone Kit ?
FYI, I bought 2 sets of these at first and recently a 3rd since I needed more people MIC'ed. I'm not sure if both initial sets were doing the internal skip but I sent them both in for servicing. They came back with a good bill of health, but my very next shoot, the same problem came up. I loose 9.5 frames about every 6 minutes on the internal recording. The audio from the Receiver which is recorded in Camera does not got out of sync of course. Unfortunately, the camera audio should be a scratch track and the internal recording should be the track used. This would avoid any interference on the camera audio. Now I'm having to use the Camera audio as the main track and only use the internal recording when there is static, but it requires me to re-sync many times when using the internal recording.
Seems like the internal recording should be without issues, but not the case. I've submitted a new case with DJI and now I will have to send all my 3 Sets because I can't be sure which one is failing or if they all are. Bummer. The only two other issues I have with these are:
1: (which is minor) it doesn't work with all microphones as far as clean audio. Some microphones exhibit static noise as you experienced. Easy fix. get the right mic that works and call it a day.
2: In the spirit of keeping it as small as possible they didn't provide a microphone jack that accepts the Threaded/Locking 1/8" microphone jacks. So, you either get something that is not locking or you have to use a dremel tool to cut off the threaded part of the connector. Neither is good because it would be better to be able to lock it. I've had issues when filming workout videos where the mic gets slightly unplugged. Wish I could send it in to put locking connectors. I'd pay $$$ to get that fixed even if it created a bump on the unit.
Honestly, if you’re charging the most $$$ for your wireless mics they better not have these little issues. I’m sorry to hear that… I recently had a job where the mic was slightly unplugged abs the audio would cut in and out from being quiet and staticky to really loud. I’m really surprised locking mechanisms aren’t required with these types of things considering it’s just a tiny piece of metal that needs to be installed.
I haven’t purchased these mics since and I’ve been running fully wired. I have too much ptsd from wireless mics 😅
@Bryce Koebel the thing is that it's not really about the money. I would pay $50 more per transmitter to have the locking feature. It would cost them no more than $1-3 to add it. They could make a Pro version with only that change and add $100 to the price and I bet people would happily pay for it. They should be guaranteed to not have internal recording issues. Fix static from any mic and have locking jack.
The idea of having internal recording is one of safety. Safety because perhaps some of us don't have a budget for a designated audio mixer. Safety because what we record may be a one take thing. (Say a wedding or a speech) but if you can't be certain that the mic will stay plugged in all the way through the entire day, that feeling of safety goes out the window.
I'd pay $300 to send all my 3 units in and get them back with those changes. The system is great, the form factor is great. I just want piece of mind.
One other thing that would be great is to be able to remove the clip on the Transmitters. Not a huge thing, but sometimes it's nice to make it even smaller. Similar to how you can remove the clip on the receiver.
Yeah I definitely agree. I think because it’s so expensive they shouldn’t compromise on the tech. Because it really is an amazing wireless system, but you can see easily where they cut costs. For example, when it first came out they had a really crappy aux chord that they replaced soon after.
@@BryceKoebel Quick Update: I tested for 29minutes on my A7iii and my 6 DJI Mic Transmitters. It looks like all my audio files are synced properly throughout the 29 minutes (which is the limit of the camera) after applying the new firmware.
The only weird thing was that my transmitter #5 stopped recording after 10 mins 35 sec???
Great video. This is why I bought the Sony UWP-D26, you can also get the UWP-D21 without the buttplug, but it’s worth it so you can use on shotgun too. This connects through Sony hotshoe and no wires. Rock solid, reliable, professional workhorse beast that been through many wars with me. Worth every penny. Sony even now sells a dual channel receiver if you need to record two mics. Buy it, and free yourself.
people dont get it man, they always find the cheaper version
2:24 that’s the rode mic picking up the transmitter rf. Not necessarily the DJIs fault. Two tests for you: separate the rode mic a few feet from dji transmitter with a 3.5mm extension cable, does the interference go away? Or use the same rode mic on another 2.4ghz transmitter, does it still pickup the RF? I’ll be happy to do same tests with a Deity Vmic D3 Pro in a few weeks.
I bought this thing then returned it because all the Lavs I tested had this interference. Same lavs had no interference on my Rode Wireless Go.
@@SeanMacProductions fyi, I received my DJI wireless mic set. Absolutely Zero interference with a Deity lav mic or Sennheiser mke2 (higher end, I know). I haven’t yet tested with Deity Vmic d3 pro, but I do have it available to test.
@@BensTechLab now that’s interesting. How’d you get around the issue with the MKE2’s screw lock not being compatible with the DJI mic’s input jack?
@@SeanMacProductions The locking 3.5s just worked on the DJI... now you've got me wondering if I should pull out a caliper and measure the length of the male 3.5mm end. Perhaps the DJI is just a tad shallow on purpose to allow for this?
@@BensTechLab I was mistaken, it’s the ME-2 that doesn’t work properly on the DJI mic, not MKE2
Interference has been a major problem with my DJI. I use pro level lavs and 3.5 mm cords. It’s been a nightmare.
I used this for a year with no issues before it started doing this. The noise was a little higher then I’m used to for the price point.
I had it, had issues, people crapped all over my video 😆😆😆, I am surprised that DJI made the silent updates, kudos on them for doing that (still aint buying it). You might need a new wire for your rode, but it should work fine, my wife beats the hell out of hers, although we do use a silicon case, and it's annoying as hell to charge. For myself, I mostly use a tascam dr-10L, I have trust issues with all of the wireless stuff, and I've gone through a lot. Rode works ok, but have gone through two repairs, boya not the greatest audio, been through repair, Vimo C has been quite nice, no internal recording can bite you, not a ton of options that can record internally. I do have multiple internal recorders, which have never caused any problems other than annoying batteries.
Haha damn 😭😭 yeah I’ve chosen to stay away from wireless for now. I also use a DR-10L and it’s great. Plus I use my Rode Videomic Pro as a boom mic, where I’ll connect it to either the Tascam or my camera directly. Works great!
Get a tentacle sync Track E and pump timecode into the camera via tentacle sync E. It will give you frame perfect 32 bit audio that sounds amazing!
If the audio skips, I imagine, will render the frame E use less because it is latency and not drift.
Thanks for your candid review! But please, which mic was used to record this?
I just bought the rode wireless 2 because they updated the software 3weeks ago.
Had this mic as well and sold it not long after
i have such issues getting the gain right on it. its either blown out or just tooo quit.
The feedback you’re getting is from the lav mic, just switch to a better lav. I ordered one from Amazon and it sounded just like that and then I tried an old lav I had from my rascal DR10L and it was 0 feedback
your video shooting style is super cosy.
OMG!! Thank you for this video! I thought that I am stupit and I am alone with this issue. After couple of days, testing, searching, here is your video. And you told exactly same what I wanted. Thanks! I will send it back.
🙏 Happy to help friend!
Thanks for the video - did you record the audio for this clip with the DJI MIC though? Which lav mic are you using? Sounds pretty decent.
have you tried anything else like the Dji mic 2 or the rode pro or the HOLLYLAND lark m2
Damn… thought I found a perfect solution for my kit, but I am doing long intense interviews… too scared to trust this setup now… but that’s for sharing it though. Might safe me a lot of trouble in the future. :)
This is same reason why I got rid of the Rode Wireless Go 2. Endless problems and endless RUclips video creators saying they have the “hack” to fix it. Got rid and got a sennheiser old school wireless mic setup. Works flawlessly. These rode and dji sets are just not fit for purpose.
Hope you can test the Picogear PicoMic2!
Damn! The audio skipping is a deal breaker. Anything that ADDS unpaid extra time to my work flow is just not happening. No way.
Having the exact same desync issue with ours. Hopefully there's a fix because I love this microphone too, and it's been so helpful in starting our channel but with these issues it's just impossible to work with!
Another dudes video I watched showed the Shure MVL lavalier mic work really good with the DJI mic. And the static is from sending it to your receiver. If you save to transmitter it supposedly should work with your rode mic. I'm gonna buy the DJI mic, I think I can make it work
have the rode videomic go attached to the transmitter and recording it directly to the tx. Same problem with the interference.
Some of my shooters have these and the signals cuts off when the subject turns their back while the rode is fine. I also got theskipping problem. Still will go with rode because its just so reliable.
Yeah it’s too bad. Also the Rode is on sale this weekend!
shotgun; the new rode video mic go ii
lav: rode wireless ii with rode lav.
to avoid static, stick same brand products aka all rode
The Rode issue seems odd. I’ve had two Rode mics and I’ve never had issues like this. I’ve heard of issues with the DJI. Good info here!
Thanks! Yeah I may try the Rode Wireless Go 2 as a replacement. Hopefully it doesn’t run into similar issues
My Rode W 2 RX now can't turn on. Claiming warranty, just 1 month before warranty ends. Whewwwwww 😢. Lucky can use TX to autorecord when turn on, extra workflow to Sync audio.
The Deity Pocket Wireless if making microphones wireless and with wired lavaliers is awesome with the any clipping it has built in. The built in mic and the included wired lavalier however are okay but not great sounding. I purchased the Pocket wireless just after boxing day on sale for a crazy $89.00 USD, a deal I couldn't pass up. The Xvive U5 is good with wired lavaliers but the LV1 wired lavalier included is fine but not great and it pops when moving so that is no good. The LV2 worked well but have to be mindful of volume levels like the DJI in a sense but not buzz noise but noise floor creeps up. The pocket wireless is the best I found if using wired lavaliers in terms of wireless mics and using anything other than the included one lol. The Rode Wireless Go is not what I call impressive with wired lavaliers but the U5 and the Pocket Wireless are better
This sounds like a quality inspection problem. I haven’t had this problem for the past year of using it.
I love this mic and have had none of these issues. Weird? What camera are you using it with? I’m using a SONY A7SIII. That one issue with the Rode mic (at 2:40ish) sounded like phantom power was turned on the camera when it didn’t need to me? Just a guess, but I’ve heard tnat buzz before on location (not with this DJI system) and it was phantom power being on when it shouldn’t have been. That sync issue I have NEVER had! This mic works flawlessly for me. Sorry to hear of your troubles.
Dang, well I’m glad that you’re having no troubles! It could have been a defective unit. I am still considering re-buying it as I did enjoy it for the most part. I am also using the a7S3, is there an option for phantom power on this camera? If there is I will definitely try that out.
@@BryceKoebel This is me but from my other account name. Good point, I use the SONY XLR K3M adaptor on mine some times and that has phantom power but the camera does not on it's own that I'm aware of. I've just heard that type of sound before when phantom was on and it wasn't needed. I didn't mean with this camera and mic. Sorry for confusion. I think you had a bum unit myself. I didn't have any of these problems but mine is a gen 1 unit and I never updated the firmware since it was working just fine!
The only thing that did work for me was to use the Sony XLR-K3M and connect the rode wireless go II true that. No more noise!
This is really helpful thanks Bryce - was thinking of getting one next month and these are exactly the kind of issues I'm keen to avoid...! Subscribed!
Quality Control 🙄 Crazy. higher $$$ than the Rode Wireless Go II
Static
Audio Skipping
I have the Rode Wireless Go II for Weddings (No Issues, super clean).
And I’ve been on the fence about buying this because I really like the Case Unit Layout.
Great Audio from the Rode I guess comes with no great layout 😂. DJI is the best in Aerial and Stability they jumped into this too fast and people hyped it before long testing.
i thought this issue is isolated as i've a few in fb groups. Glad i run into your review as im in the market for dual wireless mics.
i currently own the rode wireless go 1st gen and it works flawlessly. i am about to get the dual mic one but I just want to check other options.. i guess dji wireless mic is out of my options.
more power to your channel man..
Thanks 🙌🏻 I’m also considering the Rode Wireless Go 2 as my replacement 😊🙌🏻
I always use the Hollyland lark 150
2:38 this is what just started happening to my Rode Go 2! I've got no idea how and why.
Dji mic 2 is great
I record dj mixes and had the dji mic on my dslr. I sync the audio with my mix that my computer internally records. A 15 minute mix by the end of it will be off by seconds which is completely unacceptable and pretty much unfixable. Ive looked everywhere for a fix and there is none. IF YOUR A DJ Recording mixes and have to sync the audio DO NOT GET THIS!
I also tested it recording the TV for an hour or so and DID NOT have any lag/sync issues with it
Did you try the skipping issue showed in my video? It’s weird abs honestly totally a dealbreaker for interviews too. But they may have solved this issue as this video is 3 months old
@@BryceKoebel i re-edited my comment...i recorded the tv for a hour + and there were no sync problems. Did you end up re buying?
Oh good! No I’m staying away from wireless for now
Is this issue fixed now? I am planning to buy one for my food vlog. My main usage of wireless mic would be during the street food commentary, a little discussion with food sellers. Can you please recommend any other option?
It’s been a while, so I imagine it’s been fixed by now! Hopefully 🤞🏻 😂
Thank you so much. I thought about an external recorder because I'm afraid of the camera preamps ruin the good wireless system. But I've watched the Sony K3M which seems to be connected in a way that the preamps are not in between anymore. Do you know any other systems that work like that? I'm searching for something cheaper if it's possible...
Synched audio is tempting but I don't want to be tied to the camera preamps. I'm not very happy with them for certain things.
You should check out the Zoom F2. It’s a bit newer and it has 32-bit float recording, which means a less compressed, audio format, and you almost never have to worry about your audio peaking!
@@BryceKoebel Thanks a lot! Seems interesting. I'll take it into account... 🙏
I have one and I wish I had returned it :/.
Have you tried saramonic blink 500?
They are pretty great. I have the B6 set but have a look at the Pro set.
Did these problems also occur in the internal backup recording? Or just on the wirelessly transmitted audio to camera?
So I was having weird issues on both ends. But it’s not super common to run into the “out of sync” issue. But sometimes I would have buzzing, cut outs or other issues with the camera audio. Over all it was finicky and I hope they fix these issues. I’m probably going to steer far from wireless audio for now 👍🏻
I'm going to buy one soon. I've watched every video under the sun from all the pros and otherwise. It's only 329 here is US. I'll just say this. If thousands of people love it and works so well for them I'd say either you have a bad copy or it could be just you and you process. So I would not give up. Try another one. I am curious. This video is 3 months old. How did you make out. What happened.
I returned it and didn’t go back LOL but you’re right. They have solved some issues and been on it. I wish I kept it tbh… but I’m staying away from wireless audio for now as it was a headache
Well, you just scared me away from this system. Looks like I'm back to searching for professional level wireless lavs.
I appreciate your video. I saw great reviews on this mic but it's good to know what else a consumer might get. Great if it has a known fix, but what if none? And for that price!
I liked the DJI mic's design, but it looks like DJI is not reliable with audio? I have a DJI Osmo pocket (1st gen), and even though I rarely use it, the audio recording is now broken. You can search youtube/google about it and there are a few people who posted it. And there's no fix for it. It was heart breaking! :(
how many fps did you set in your cam?
Someone said he found a weird way to solve the static buzzing sound, just stick a coin on the the DJI logo, at the left up coner of the D, then the static electric buzzing sound will disappear，i dunno isit true or not.. If you stil have it,can try it...
That is such a weird work around hahaa
@@BryceKoebel yes，it is haha
Thx for the video. I’ve been using the Rode Go II and haven’t had any issues. The DJI is interesting simply due to the UI
Interesting, I was about to get one. Not that sure now.
You’re not alone.
Yo, Bryce. I am having a similar but different issue with the DJI MIC, also the sync issue but always stay consistency 2 frame behind my shotgun audio, they were both plugged in the same camera 2 different audio input. Have you tried to record the audio on both device at the same time?
Yes, I was actually getting some weird things happening. For example my Rode mic was getting some weird buzzing while using it with the DJI mic. Anyway, I returned it and never looked back lol I don’t think I’ll be working with wireless audio for now.
@@BryceKoebel Yea, I feel you, a zoom F2 or tentacle track E would be much more reliable
I’m really interested in the f2. I feel like that would resolve so much headache haha
AT the default settings there def a slight mechanical sound in the BG. WOrth noting as I'm currently looking at buying these.
Did you get the new one? did the issues still persist with the new unit?
I eventually returned it and didn’t use wireless for a while!
the amp of your camera was doing the noise
get the ECM B1M or B10
Did you reach out to DJI? I've had great success dealing with their customer support and I have a ton of DJI products.
I ended up returning and didn’t look back 😢
I have the very low audio problem. :/
hey man, thanks you place all the issues on the table, I am about to buy the DJI also, and I have seen form previous videos that the Lav mics are causing that issue, most of the mics have interference, so far I have seen the share lav mic works best.
Its been 3 months , did you get it again and did you have more issues??
I didn’t end up getting it again. I’m staying away from wireless for now 🫢
Hmm. Doesn’t look good at all compared to all the RUclips hype. So even the internal recording of the device was bad eh? Man that’s unfortunate because I wanted to get and use this product.
Edit: I wonder if putting the camera in air plane mode and making sure no Wi-Fi on the device is on would help with interference?
Yeah I tried the airplane mode thing. I think I had a defective unit because I’ve heard others are having a great time with theirs. But, the interference thing sucks. I think you have to space the transmitter further away from the mic.
Have you looked into the Rode wireless system? Have heard great things about it.
I've tried the first gen ones and they were great! TBH I might get the Gen 2 because its $30 cheaper AND it comes with an extra LAV... Just returned it today :|
I think you are wrong about wot your are saying about the DJI mic it is a great system and works perfectly if you use it right just saying . I have 2 of them
It’s not a matter of not using it correctly, it’s the fact that I had 2 defective units.
@@BryceKoebel I feel your pain and I hope you get a working unit , they are a brilliant bit of kit good luck.
Thank you! I’ve moved away from wireless for now, but maybe one day I’ll go back.
I’ve been using the Rode NTG and I love it!
Oooo I’ve heard great things. Only thing is I’d need to get all the accessories to make it work 😂😰
Yeah I get that! I love it because I can plug it in to the Rode Wireless Go ii transmitter. You can boom it, use the NTG as a handheld. Super versatile👍🏽
@@emersonsenseman2182 Oh wait a second I didn't realize the NTG wasn't XLR. That's dope!! Honestly, I am heavily considering getting the Rode Wireless Go 2 and maybe even the NTG. I think thats a pretty killer set up for audio 😮💨
@@BryceKoebel it is! Especially if you don’t need XLR!
@@BryceKoebel check out Thomas Kovakic! He did a great review of the NTG!
I wonder if the firmware update released in January fixes the audio issues?
Yeah hopefully! I don’t have it anymore so I’m not sur e
@@BryceKoebel I am testing everything this weekend for my review... I have it :P. my viewers on a poll asked for it... I only got them charged and have not tested but there are 2 work arounds.
@@BryceKoebel I started testing, it seems my unit does not have the noise issue at all 🤷♂. My unit also appears to come with the newer straight cable to PC without the 90 degree bends in it.
@@BryceKoebel I take it you didn't test the headphone out, even the units with the out port issues seemed to have a flawless headphone out port. Either way either the firmware fixed any audio issue or my unit is simply fixed. LOVE IT! sorry about your not good situation, I was worried about issue.
Dude the same thing just happened to me yesterday with the Rode Lav Mic and Rode Wireless go 2. It was working fine until yesterday.
Nooooo 😣😣😣
1 week in to owning the rode lav and rode wireless 2 I got the same issue.
What a shame 😫
Did you ever find out what to do with the “drifting” or skipping audio? I am getting insane with mine two sets
2:18 ...Dji customer tech support Suks...they have non english people working in tech support and it takes 3 hours just to get them to understand the problems with this mic.
Then Dji website and Dji youtube Channel, sucks even worse..can't find any solutions ..
Now you gotta spend days trying to find a Solution to the mic issues, in RUclips dji mics. ...
😠 🤬 😡 I HATE, Syncing audio with video..takes hours to do.
4:32 ...Don't feel bad ...I spend just under $1500 cad, on the Action camera 3 ($760 cad) + the dual dji mic system ($450 cad) and a gimbal ($200)...I am stuck with using the crappy mic on the action camera 3 and an exterior microphone to sync up my sounds..LOL
i have 70€ and only give me 2h of record and some static noise but cost me 70€ pay 330€ and got that and skpt is anoyng. Shame on you DJI.
I was think in buy it because look cool and build quality asweel but have issue. The same got on my DJI RS2 PRO from 3 years ago with my sony A7iii. Small issue wich can be on premium product.
For the moment i think i avoid DJI because is to expensive try things. Even i dont upgrade the gymbal because things like this small issue wich at final of a project is giving problems and make lose time and money.
Your aux needs to be replaced. Nothing worse then wasting someone’s time for a interview. Always test your product before recording.
Man!! I want to get a set but experiences like yours makes me hold back, Thank you for the update.
Yikes! Thank you for the video Bryce. Will be avoiding this mic for sure.
Honestly, even wait a few months or when they release an updated version. They seem to be trying to fix the issues but as of now it’s not reliable for professional work
Connecting the shoe from the receiver to my Leica SL2 is not possible, it does not fit. I'm afraid to break it. Connecting it into the Panasonic AG-UX-90 it falls off, without even touching it!! It is plastic. Shame on you DJI !!!
Are you also using the receiver gain in your staging sequence?
If you want to hear how it sounds, here's my first use: ruclips.net/video/5RuOfH47fHg/видео.html
Glad I saw your video because I was considering buying both. Most RUclips reviewers are sponsored so if there is an issue they often don't mention it or they only have the device to test for a couple of days so they don't run into these issues. In general a lot of these lower cost devices are not made as well as traditional mics. The issue with the Rode Go is a grounding design flaw. What's shocking is Rode knows about but won't fix it despite many complaints, probably because it must sell well. ruclips.net/video/ecrNTf30vHY/видео.html
I own a Sony UWP-D21 it's, older tech, big, doesn't record internally, and has only one mic but it has never let me down. I also ran a lav into a Zoom H1 recorder. Again never had an issue but it's more work having to sync it in post. So if you want reliability there are other options that aren't as convenient.
Syncing issues are the worst! Wasted so much time fiddling around with that and we were hoping that the DJI would solve this issue. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Bro ankerworks 650 , thank me later
ALL YOUR BASS ARE BELONG TO US
Just get the Rode wireless go and move on.
MCFC 😜
lol
if u get paid for work, buy pro level gear
