Thanks for this great review and comparison! Orderer my set some months ago, but it's hard to get a delivery. Reviews like this still gives hope and that these will be what I'm looking for. Keep it up!
Salute to your commitment for making video.. nicely explained. Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this mic. The real world examples were very useful
Thanks for the awesome insight. I really trust your judgment. 🙏🏼
Great job here showing us detail by detail the advantages and disadvantages. Looks like ill be purchasing a DJI MIC!
Thank you for sharing some info i was looking for good microphone and now i know what i want to buy. Good bless stay safe.
I got these after your this review! It has been an amazing to use. SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for posting this! Was about to buy the Rode but it looks like the DJI is a better option. Good job on your videos. They've been so helpful!
Thank you for toturial ma'am
Nice review. I’ll be buying two. 👍👍
great review! I need to increase my audio game!
Nice video, I just ordered the hollyland lark M1. However I was considering the rhode or DJI
Fantastic review. The range test of the DJI is awesome.
They added so many handy features. I really am impressed.
DJI sounds fantastic. Great video. Can you tell us what you have the gain set at for the DJI? It sounds perfect. Thanks
Thank you!
I’m SO impressed w/this mic! DJI has the best products in the market across various platforms! Also, I’m happy for you guys on being 1st time Parents! 😊
Seems like a pretty nice mic from Dji. Thank you for the review!
How do they compare, price wise? Thank you. I remembered asking you about this system and you told me what you just mentioned in the video.
Great video! I'm buying these as soon as I offload my mint condition Zoom H6. Interested? Also, I'd love it if DJI offered a single channel unit like Rode started doing. I will rarely if ever use two transmitters and would think DJI would get more market saturation selling both the dual and single transmitter kits. Thank you and may I ask where the lake was? Wisconsin? WA state?
Excellent 👌👌
Thank you for a great review! We have the Rode GoII that we use on our channel now and we've been thinking about the DJI. In the vegas clips it seems like there is quite a lot of background/ambient noise pickup, is that any worse on the DJI than the Rode? How do you find the magnetic clips on the DJI - useful? Finally, Can you fit the 2 mini windscreens and a TRS cable in the charging box with the mics/receiver too ? Thanks!!
Great questions. I agree about the added background noise for the sample clips, but I will say that those were filmed without tinkering with the gain on the transmitters, and no audio editing. When gain is added and a limiter and compressor in post production, the background noise isn't as bad. Unfortunately, the cable and windscreens do not fit well in the charging case, which is a bummer. They include a separate little bag to hold those things, but ideally they would all be contained in the same case. For the magnetic clips, I didn't find them useful for how I like the use the transmitters, but it's nice to have them as an option.
@@Gemini_Connect brill, thank you for taking the time to reply! Love the channel 😃
It was a cool review video shot. Mom at work 🤩
You deserve at least 1M subscribers. First comment here but regular viewer
I’ve been on the fence about this new Mic system from DJI, but after watching your review I think I’m going to order them, and I will use your link. I don’t have the Rode wireless system, so this will be a big step for me. So many great features in this system, you can’t go wrong. Great review Susie, and thanks for sharing.
Great choice! If we didn't already have the Rode, the DJI would for sure be our first choice.
Hi very informative video. Just wanted to ask can I record in stereo mode using single transmitter..?
Bought the DJI Mic. Looking forward to the Hollyland Lark C1 in October.
Sold.... I've just got a gopro 10 so was looking for a good wireless mic to start my vlogging holiday trips
I think DJI should consider including a wireless audio receiver in their Osmo action cameras. Wireless microphone connectivity would be a priceless upgrade! I very much appreciate all of your video presentations and content! Looking forward to more!✌️😎
damn yes... dij pocket 2 is my vloging camera, whether i save my big camera for important footage during events, i always have my dji pocket 2 in my pocket whether to shoot some broll or chat between people that i don't have time to setup my camera out of my bags. Thats why i would prefer dji mic cuz you already have charging case it's smaller and convenient.
But yeah imagine in they "do it all "dongle you buy (100$) to attachto dji pocket if it receive dji mic signal...that would change everything.
the charging case is such an important upgrade(when im on event , looking to charge camera's battery/lights boom mic. remove one "charging task" is really important.
I love your videos!!!
Thank you for watching 👌
Great video! You should look into the Ulanzi J12 wireless mic. It’s an amazing mic system and very afortable. If you do get the Ulanzi J12 mic, will you please make a comparison video to the other witeless mics you have?!
The J12 mic is only for smartphones; it won't work with any cameras. Just asked Ulanzi directly, and they confirmed.
watching your video as you walk through the park...are you shooting in flat and color grading in post?
Thanks a lot for this video👍 Now I have to think twice about my next wireless microphone. My Question about this two mics: how(or what?) about using dji and rode on a pc for livestreaming or voiceover or else? Greetings (again) from Germany 🇩🇪
Good question. I haven't tested the DJI for voiceovers or livestreams, but I think it would sound fine. Both scenarios are great for the Rode.
God bless
Watching from.Philippines
10:14 I see you have a new backpack holder setup?
I remeber You made a video a while ago earlier with the MacGyver Home Depot extra long screw in order for you to get a backpack mount, but this is new right?
Would be really cool to see a video on that new set up of yours. Love the videos. I actually bought a GoPro because of you.😂
Aw that's so great to hear. I do indeed have a new GoPro rig that I've been testing and finally ready to make a video about it. Filming it later today, so stay tuned 🙂
Just finding you and your review has informed my decision to choose the DJI over the RODE as a solo mom content producer who wants to streamline audio for greater workflow to maki it easier for Mr to increase my uploads.
What DJI mic setting are you using? you sound amazing and what do u have your camera recording level set to ? My camera is a Sony zv1 Please let me know. Thank you
I get mine today!
Hey, Gemini! I saw your viral video titled (Best Vlogging Camera 2022? GoPro Hero 10 vs DJI Pocket 2 vs Sony ZV-E10) which has 227K views. I liked this video a lot, after that I watched a lot of your videos and I think your video is addictive.
You are very talented in your profession, but I'm sad because you are not getting the praise you deserve, I can see your talent. But why can't people see🙃
*I really really loved your videos. I do not have any wireless Mic at the moment and is planning to buy one. I hope DJI mic is compatible with most of DSLR/Mirrorless camera and Android/iOS phone.* I would go for DJI although it is quite a bit expensive compared to RODE Wireless GO II 🤗
I just purchased the DJI wireless mic, and I have both Android and iPhone, it’s compatible with both! Loving it already!!!
Nice real-world usage review. I was on a limb trying to decide which wireless mic for insta360 one X2, thank you for the insights
We have the RØDE 2 wireless mics and love them; however, we recently got the Ulanzi wireless mic system for $50 as a backup. We now film with an iPhone. While we haven’t done a lot of comparison testing yet, it seems almost unbeatable for the price. Not only does it include two receivers and a slim charging case, the individual units are tiny, and the transmitter has a lightning passthrough. This makes it great for mobile live streaming because it allows us to keep charging the iPhone while still using the transmitter. Oh, and they also have noise cancellation! Thanks for all the great reviews!
Ok, I had NO idea that Ulanzi had a wireless mic system. They make so many products, it's hard to keep up!
Hi, love your channel. I have seen some youtube video saying the DJI mic receiver has a very fragile cold shoe attachement?
It's a removable cold shoe, which I'm not the biggest fan of. It doesn't feel super sturdy, but it has been working well during my month of testing it.
Interesting review, halfway through watching and I think it's definitely better than a shotgun mic... However, I also use a big light on my GoPro so not sure if I could also fit the receiver and transmitter both because only two cold shoes... :P
Congratulations on the child btw, I didn't know!
Yeah, it gets a little tricky if you run out of cold shoe space, but there are some adapters for turning a single cold shoe into a double.
Røde sounds the best, but DJI's portability and charging case makes it better overall
In my own experience, I found that record levels on DJI Mic were pretty low. At what point and stage did you add gain to your audio in this video? Post-production? Have you used Powered Mic+ settings in GoPro or/and add some gain in DJI Mic receiver/transmitter? Thanks!
How can I connect the DJI Wireless Microphone for 2 person with DJI Pocket 2 (Without Do It All Handle). What all accessories one need to connect them. I have been searching a lot but didn't got any information on it.
Did you get this sent to you free or purchase it with your own money, does it buzz when using like others have mentioned?
Where is the safety audio clip stored? Does it go to the camera that the receiver is plugged into or is it stored on the transmitter internal storage? Thanks.
It is saved on the transmitter.
I like your evaluation of the DJI microphone. How does this compare to the Saramonic (?) microphone ?
I did another comparison video between those two mics.
I was planning on getting the DJI mic next month as my first external mic for mobile movie making after seeing other reviews of it, but it's always nice to get another positive review.
It's a really sweet mic system. Best prosumer wireless mic on the market IMO.
@@Gemini_Connect Well, I ordered it yesterday, so I'll get to try it out for myself soon. 😄
@@DanielBerke Your review please? Is recording clear without ssss sound?
@@vikasedu So, I haven't actually had too many chances to use it since getting it, but it seems to be pretty good overall. No background hiss that I can detect, though I'm sure that depends on settings as well.
I have been reading many reviews about the DJI Wireless Mic. Apparently some people have had problems with adding a lavalier mic causing an interference sound to appear in the audio. Is this something you have experienced?
I’m curious how much you worked on the audio in post (mostly around the jet ski riding past you part) because it seems the devices really balanced out the background noise really well.
No audio editing. That wouldn't be fair in a sound test video.
I lost 90% of the audio on my vacation video due to a glitch in my Osmo Pocket back in 2019. Having the safety audio feature of this new system would have been heaven sent. It’s a feature that’s high on my ‘must have’ list
That is a good point to make.
Aloha~ can you tell me approx how long does battery last on rode2 wireless w/my gopro10blk? mahalo!
Just got this and it seems really hard to get onto the cold shoe mounts for my gopro media mod. Any tips or tricks? It attaches and such I'm just afraid with the force required something is going to break.
Hi, I have a question with regards to the dji wireless and the gopro. I'm using the mod and the new dji mics but I have a strange issue. When I'm recording while facing the camera, the sound is better than from behind! I have no idea how this can be because I'm using the dji wireless mics! So how can it make any difference which side of the camera I stand? The mic is fastened to my t-shirt!
Interesting. I'm not sure. I would reach out to DJI Support. They are super responsive and helpful.
@@Gemini_Connect Thank you!
I have the GoPro Hero 9 and will be picking up the media mod. What cable would you recommend to connect the DJI receiver to the media mod? And I'm assuming I could use the included USB C dongle to connect to my laptop (which does have a usb-c port), right? Thanks for the great review!
The DJI mic comes with all the cables you need. We use the included 3.5mm mic jack.
@@Gemini_Connect Good to know. Thanks!
I think that they are too similar to warrant getting one over the other if you already have one. If you have the Rode mics, I wouldn’t recommend getting the DJI mics because it just doesn’t make sense. But, if you do not have anything, then the DJI mics are good but you can’t go wrong with either one.
That is a good point, and I agree 100%.
Please 🙏 do another comparison but more back to back testing sound hehe. @11:07 Did you have the fluffy on the Dji mic? Can you noise cancel bg noise? Can you adjust it or only 2 choices? It pickup a lot of background noise good if you want it to on some scenes.
You lower the Gain on your mics and edit your Audio in post to remove background noises
I can start the recording of a transmitter from the receiver. But can I start the recording of both transmitters simultaneously from the receiver? I'm trying to record a podcast without a camera attached and I want the audio files to line up perfectly without doing it in post. Thanks!
Hi I just received my dji mic along with the media mod for my gopro hero 10....I ran it 14 minutes and it froze and was hot. Do you have that problem with yours? Can you help me with some settings to help with that problem please?
for the gain adjusment, are you just put it on 0 level tp do the vlog, or you hear it via headset to monitor the gain?
Hi, is the DJI wireless mic set compatible to be used with the DJI Pocket 2 camera? Wish you can make a video test about this. Thanks.
Supposedly it can be compatible, but you have to use an adapter. It's not the most straightforward thing to do.
How do you mount the receiver to cold shoe? Bcoz the clip size is small most cold shoe design for rode wireless clip which is a bit bigger clip than dji mic please helpp.. i just got my dji mic today but cant attach to cold shoe 😢
i struggle turning rode go 2 off and on whilst mot bike vlogging can you say if its easier to turn on dj i? and tell that its on e.g. blue neons on wireless go 2 are crap
I think I am lucky that they are out of stock on Amazon Canada. Like I need to buy this...well I don't but I want to. ;)
Can I sync the DJI wireless mic to AKASO Brave 7? Thanks
Well, I got excited about the DJI Mic when it was announced. I pre-ordered it. But it took DJI some 9 months to ship the mic to Europe, so in the meanwhile I gave up waiting and bought the Rode WG II. Actually, I like the Rode very much, and not sure the DJI would give me that much more value. Had DJI been just a few months quicker on the EU market, it would definitely have been my choice.
I've heard there have been supply issues with the DJI. That seems to have been settled here in the USA. I'd say the DJI is more convenient with the charging case, but
both are great mics and you can't go wrong with either
Hi Gemini I bought DJI wireless mic but it's not recording sound. It's showing sound waves on the receiver while in am speaking but there is no sound in video. I have tested it on iPhone xr, one plus and canon mach 2 but there is no sound in video but the receiver is picking up sound as sound waves r reflecting. Wot might be the issue. Plz help
Hi, I'm noticing a lot of backround noise when you in Las Vegas that it actually drown out your voice. Did you add post production that it created this sound or is it the DJI Standard sound.
I didn't do any audio editing to the sample footage, or adjust any of the DJI Mic settings. After more testing, I do find the Rode to be slightly better at isolating voices in noisy environments.
@@Gemini_Connect Based on your recording sample around min. 10 in the video, it is not "slightly" better, it is "significantly" better at noise isolation, don't you think?
You will remember that I wrote to you on another video about a USB-C port on the GoPro for my external microphone and the Volta simultaneously. Now, seeing that the GoPro 11 has only one USB-C port, which means I cannot connect the Volta and an external microphone on the GoPro simultaneously, my question is this: Will the DJI Microphone work without a USB-C port as I have noticed you attach it on top of the GoPro without plugging it into anything? So, it's using it's own power source, right? That will obviously solve my problem.
suggestions for wire mics to plug into them? does dji makes some ?
I don't think DJI makes any other mics. Personally, I'd get a Rode wired lav. They've been working well for me over the years.
@@Gemini_Connect so getting one of there wire mics will work with dji?
@@MWDAdventures Yes, consumer mics feature (kind of) standard 3.5 mm connectors. You'd want to get a model with a TRS plug, for example the RØDE Lavalier GO.
Nice but curious what happens when the internal battery fails in a couple of years? Curious how much it costs to replace the internal battery - or if its a job anyone handy can do. I guess we will find out in time. Also DJI drone batteries self discharge to protect the batteries. Curious if these do the same.
That's a good question. We haven't had these long enough to know, but I know there's equipment insurance that can be purchased. Might be worth having for this instance.
@@Gemini_Connect Insurance isnt going to cut it. The batteries will fail around the same time any insurance policy would fail, in one or two years. Leave a lipo fully charged for a long period and the battery will be damaged. The DJI drone batteries have circuits which discharge the battery to storage level, thereby prolonging the life of the battery. Curious if these mic and case batteries also discharge and self protect? I certainly wouldnt like to have to throw my DJI mini 2 drown away when the batteries fail - but thankfully I can buy replacement batterys. How so in this case?
Dji already has mic 2 with 32 bit float but they only sell the mic with pocket bundle which is stupid. It’s been out for 4 months now but still no mic 2 for sale on its own
Does the DJI mic work with GoPro 11?
The sound when you are eating sounds terrible 😕, do you think rode wireless go ii are better in this loud scenarios? Or are they the same?
Did you had to do product registration with DJI to use these mics? I know the Pocket eventually locks up if you don't register it so I've not used any DJI products due to their invasive app data collection. I would use the DJI mic but not if they still force registration.
Good question. No product registration needed for these, but that is indeed true of other DJI products.
Nice review, thanks for the info. Let’s see what rode does next. 😂
I'm really curious. They've had a massive slew of competition lately.
Has anyone used a 3.5mm TRS -> XLR to plug-in to a PA system?
I use a Zoom h1 with a lapel mic 😁
Hi I need to do the v log with I phone or Samsung even camera pro which mcrophone is best
Either Rode or DJI would work.
fantastic comparision but sadly not available in india
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's available soon.
Yeah working mom!!!
Curious what your gain levels are set to on these mics and what your post processing looks like. My experience has been vastly different with horrible hissing as gain gets turned up and very little post processing control.
My gain was a +3 while shooting, and just added a limiter in compressor in post.
I'm trying to understand why everyone's DJI MIC sounds better than mine 😅 mine just sounds extremely muffled. it got a bit better when I turned down the in camera audio levels and boosted up the transmitter and receiver both to +10 but man, still. I almost feel like they've replaced the mics 🤔
I mean, take a listen 🤣 ruclips.net/user/shortsgpoZ1f8TYUA?feature=share
You can try reaching out the DJI support to troubleshoot and possibly replace. You could have a faulty unit.
How do they compare in price.
DJI is over $329 and Rode is $263. A decent price difference.
Is there a way to get this thing to work with your MacBook computer?
I don't think so. This is where the Rode Wireless Go 2 has an advantage.
@@Gemini_Connect Actually I already did it. All I had to do was connect the DJI mic receiver with the usb-c port connector they provide and it worked swimmingly. 👍🏾 There is no advantage for Rode Wireless Go 2. you can use a wireless mic just fine with your MBP for zoom calls etc.
I’m in favour of Dji! 😊
It's soooo good 👍
And I’m not getting paid by DJI for this review..
But the DJI mic will be for sale on EBay tomorrow!
Personally, I'd sell on Facebook Marketplace over eBay 😉
You pronounce the "e" in Rode, it's danish for red.
I bought dji microphone and it doesn't work on my Samsung phone, dji action 2 and Sony zve10.
That sounds like a problem. Try reaching out to DJI support or trying to exchange it for a new unit.
❤
Does it come with those fluffy things ? :D
Yes! The wind screens are a must if shooting outdoors.
@@Gemini_Connect Thank you ! :)
My opinion… rose seems to have a better sound
I am your big fan...please give me a gopro 10 and blogging setup
Coming soon! Filming a new GoPro setup today.
Plz give me...
@@Gemini_Connect plz give me....plz
most probably the best 450 CAD$ ill ever buy i think
I asked a question in a previous video, but you never responded. Thanks. 🤔💬
Sorry! I've been slacking on comment responding since Julian started standing/nearly walking.
$429 cdn on amazon.. yikes.. I purchased my gopro hero 10 for $549...almost costs as much :(
It's definitely not a budget mic system, but very convenient if you can afford it.
I do hear alot of sssssssss in these mics though. I mean it's crisp and clear, maybe can be filtered in post, but it's pretty noticable.
