Absolutely loving this video! I'm all praises for the DJI Mic Mini's comprehensive features and portability, especially its seamless connection with DJI devices.
The major issue with the M2 is the deadcat. It's close to impossible to install, then you may accidentally press a button and when it's done you won't see the direction where the mic actually points to. Other than that it's a great little mic. However for outside use I bought the Mic mini and it's just great.
I found wearing the M2 inside my shirt rather than outside makes no big difference to the sound quality and completely eliminates wind noise. No dead cat necessary
@@calvin14888 they might have made a new version meanwhile. I bought mine upon release and there is no sign. Well, actually there is one now, because I've cut an arrow from one of the stickers in the box.
8:43 On a Samsung Device, just use Pro Video mode and you can change the audio source to BT Mic. I've used it with thr Mic 2 Tx from my Pocket 3 Creator Combo and the audio is pretty clear in all actually. However, I'm no professional like Aldryn here so if he says the BT audio is not as clean as having the Mic mini Rx hooked up, I believe him 1000%. Awesome video as always Aldryn and i always look forward to your reviews and tutorials
@@jonahkaiguam I can’t speak for android but on the iPhone it’s not great. You can see my audio samples on my main Dji mic mini video. I’m def no pro, just relaying my own experiences.
I’ve been reading my mic mini since it launched and I love it! Works with my iPhone and my Action 4 flawlessly and one great feature is the clipping limiter. I’ve legit screamed into this mic and cannot get it to clip.
I know the Hollyland M2 works with our RC/RC2 controllers. There's no reason the Mic Mini wouldn't work, since it is DJI. I sure hope so, because I just ordered the Mic Mini.
I think if you have a pocket 3 or the Pro 5 the Mic Mini is the way to go because you don’t need the receiver. Other that that if you have no DJI equipment and you want to save a few bucks get the Lark M2. On the DJI side the fact that you can connect to the iPhone with Bluetooth is a good deal even if it does not sound as good as using the receiver. Also you know you are going to get those sweet, sweet firmware upgrades from DJI, or so I have heard.
As always, LOVE your videos. My question is, I currently have 4 Rode Wireless Pro mics and 4 Rode Wireless Go mics as a backup. There are times that I have to run 4 mics at a time doing documentary work, BUT...the running 2 Rode Pro mics in one set and 2 more in another set does not always work, their frequencies conflict with each other. Is there any way you can test running 4 at a time, I think I saw you had black and white ones. So what would it sound like if you ran both sets at the same time, any drop outs? Thought you would be the best person to ask. Thank you in advance.
I believe both will when plugging the USBC receiver to the computer. I tested the Mic Mini and it works, I haven't tried the Hollyland one yet but may try it later today for you.
Big DJI fan here (Tello + Spark + Air 2 + Mini 2 + Neo) got Lark M2 at 35% off, a few days before the DJI Mini came out. Very happy with the M2 due to small flush receiver for the iPhone, not a fan of 90 deg attach on DJI setup. Also small size and decals you can apply 😊 make the transmitter appeal to the younger crowd. no regret not getting the DJI Mini.
While I like the DJI better, I got the M2 for $90 thanks to cyber monday discounts, whereas the DJI is almost double at $169 - not sure DJI's is ~2X as good
I bet you'll end up buying the mic mini so you'll end up paying more at the end. How do I know? Because it happened to me. Trying to sell the Lark on eBay but no one wants it unless it's pretty much free.
The lark m2 does have the ability to adjust the noise canceling. You have to first toggle the noise canceling function on in the app, then it opens more functions to increase or decrease the softwares noise canceling features. I believe… (Might be pushing my knowledge limits here, so sorry if so) When using the 3.5 mil jack receiver you can choose mono or stereo. But only on that specific receiver.
@@kgc1911 I think it is mono on the usbc and lighting transmitters. I don't know if you can connect the camera transmitter into a phone using usbc or lighting.
*Love the fact that people are walkin by your camera and no one was Messing with it lmao. But I have the Lark MAX which I LOVE and the Mic 2. I'm thinking of the M2 because I love the small factor of it also. Nice Video*
I am using DJI Mic 2 and also Lark M2. 1 - For full project usage - interview at uni, etc. 2 - For personal use when going out - because it is so small!
How does someone do a review and not know that the lark m2 has two modes of noise cancelation... why bother be a reviewer... get it all right or its wrong. Sorry but thats the facts...
2:53 - Hollyland
4:18 - Dji
3:31 - Hollyland - Noise Canceling

Ya that big furry ball was a little hard to use.
The direction is at the back of the M2 which has an arrow pointing to the direction of the mic!!

That famous face-to-face ! The DJI mic mini sounds more natural with the NC option ! Might go with the DJI mic mini

Great job on the video, the testing is in-depth, and I'm excited about the small size and powerful features of the DJI Mic Mini.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
In both the mic which one is better for beginners? And reporters for making the video for you tube.

Is the DJI Mic Mini Transmitter compatible with the DJI Mic 1 or 2 transmitter?
Quick question. Do you know or have you tried pairing DJI’s Mini to any of their RC controllers for audio recording during screen recording? Thanks🙂
I know the Hollyland M2 works with our RC/RC2 controllers. There's no reason the Mic Mini wouldn't work, since it is DJI. I sure hope so, because I just ordered the Mic Mini.
I wonder how noise cancelling work when attached to a drone.🤔
I have both and both are amazing!
Which one is better?
Dji or hollyland sir ?
Better
@@iankidgt I think hollyland does not have true stereo.
@@mevlutmertcil6105 yes true, i still confused many people recomended this
I'm ordering the Mic Mini.
Thanks for the great review new subscriber
WELCOME
This was extremely helpful. Thanks.
Glad to help!

Noise cancelling is definitely going to be a useful feature.
Yes, the noise cancelling works great!
Thanks for supporting!
9:14 what stand are you using for the phone? Can it also be used for Insta X3/4 or Pocket 3?
Could you use either of these microphones for talking head videos ?
@@MovingtoOhio yup
Can you connect the Dji drones to the dji mic mini?
buy dji mic 2, tape on your drone, and pres internal recording.. hwalaaa, you have -+10km audio recoreder....
I just started to use the Hollyand and they are great but I jumped the gun to fast because would of wait for the DJI if they were in the market then.
noticed that the dji sound dropped out a couple of times at the same distance as the hollyland when your back was to the camera
You can hear it on both mic in the similar spot when your back is to the camera and line of sight is broke.

No demo in the office??? Most people considering either of them probably don't have fancy studio mics!!!
M2 Gang here!!!
Hi. good video. I have a question when you will connect to iphone by usb-c lark m2, voice will be stereo mode or not possible ?
will these work with zoom video calls?
I believe both will when plugging the USBC receiver to the computer. I tested the Mic Mini and it works, I haven't tried the Hollyland one yet but may try it later today for you.
yes both works

The receiver is also putting me off DJI. Feel like I might accidentally unalive it while filming.

Why u delete my comment? Cant say bad things about Hollyland?
@@calvin14888 nothing deleted?
Hollyland is still better but I don't doubt DJI will iterate fast and make it better fast.

The Lark is a mono system. The DJI is stereo capable. In 2024, two sources feeding a mono only device is so 1950's!
Who are you? Where did u get this information? The lark m2 is stereo also...
@@kgc1911 I think it is mono on the usbc and lighting transmitters. I don't know if you can connect the camera transmitter into a phone using usbc or lighting.
I have the hollyland and love using it when working on my jeep making RUclips videos. Thanks for all your videos, i always enjoy them🤙

@halimrahman which one is the best?
@ Mic 2 sounds 'fuller'. Lark M2 is not far behind though, but still noticeable.
M2 beat dji mic mini even mic2
I was about to buy lark m2 yesterday bcz it was best but now I'll review both before buying
عل اشتريتdjiوكيف هي جيدة ام لا
How does someone do a review and not know that the lark m2 has two modes of noise cancelation... why bother be a reviewer... get it all right or its wrong. Sorry but thats the facts...
