I own the DJI MIC 2 and have used it on 3 weddings. So far it’s great the lav mic has never come out 😂 once you bend the cable inside the clip that secures it really well, battery life is been great. The biggest downside for has been that the 32bit float recording cuts every 23 min which adds a little extra work in post, other than that this is an excellent unit.

How did you manage the short battery life?

@iamalexchua 8 ай бұрын

I used to use the H1, Rode Wireless Go before. Not an issue for me because I eliminate failures by taping the lavs securely with painter’s tape. Even when I bought the Rodeo Wireless Pro, I still tape the lav mics. I use both. DJI Mic and Rodeo Wireless Pro and they both work perfectly fine for me.

The lower quality of the non-32bit float audio is because for some stupid reason the DJI mic automatically has lowpass filter turned on. Turn that off and the quality is way better.

@rickbiessman6084 9 ай бұрын

24 bit audio is NOT lower quality than 32 bit float. It simply has less (read: realistic, and technically enough) dynamic range. But am I getting this right: when you record in 32 bit float, the transmitters force the low cut on with no way of disabling it? :O That would suck!

for the first time I disagree with you Matt! love dji M2. use for weddings from day 1. no problem.

@Contentcre8tor Ай бұрын

I agree he spends 20 minutes talking about the features which are brilliant then comes to the conclusion that because someone might mess with power button it’s not best for weddings if there’s one thing you do when recording audio it’s monitoring it esp at a wedding. What a load of rubbish plus he never had dji mics 1 which I have and they are brilliant.

I have Rode lav mics for the ceremony but bought these specifically for backup audio during speeches so I don’t have to worry about running a lav mic cable for each person. Just clip this on their shirt and go.

I reckon the white version of the DJI Mic 2 is perfect for recording audio at weddings, it looks just right and it's compact!

@stowgood 11 ай бұрын

Can you please show in your comparison video how easy the mic can come unplugged if it's in the little wire holder on the back of the clip? For me it seems like that would be good enough but you seem unsure. I want a pocket three so these lav mics would be better than the rode for compatibility with that. I have the rode wireless go ii atm.

Do they work with Rode lavaliers? On the first model they gave interference and background noise. Thank you

9:11 "Specifcally, I’m using the 32 bit float audio because it sounds better than the audio that is transmitted wirelessly." No, it is not. 32 bit float audio does not sound "better" than 24 bit audio. It just provides the basis for using dual preamps with different gain levels, allowing a crazy dynamic range, which is useful for not having to set gain. Think of it like exposure bracketing to make sure you retain highlight detail, just in case. Same idea. The difference being that dynamic range in image sensors lags far behind human visual perception, whereas modern microphones and preamps have a greater dynamic range than human hearing. Any difference in audio quality you hear, you’re imagining. Sorry to say this. But so many video creators have somewhat limited knowledge of audio production, and I think it’s important to point this out.

@jeffrey3205 Ай бұрын

Hey Matt, 2 wuick questions. Is there any latency in the transmission, can I hook it up to a powered speaker or sound board to transmit live? Also can I use multiples of these units while hooked up to one receiver?

I’m pretty sure the mic can be disabled from being turn off.

Does 32bit internal automatically record even when you dont press record on the mic but just record with the camera?

@calinchaud5056 4 ай бұрын

I have the same question. I don’t have the receiver but the DJI OA 4. (Receiver not necessarily). Wil the transmitter always record - as backup - in 32 BIT float? Thanks for your video.

Damn! If somebody watches this video and hasn't bought or know these mics, they leave thinking the DJI MIC2 are the worst mics ever. They have limitations, as all of them do, but they are amazing for the price. Example of a big win: menu navigation via the receiver's touch screen is amazing!

Do you know any way of using any sony with a camera form factor like the a7iv or the fx3 that lets you record using the hotshoe and the 3.5mm jack? Would be good to be able to use the lavs and the shotgun mic at the same time and pick which sounds best/ have a backup. It seems like it's just a software limitation.

@whoismatt 11 ай бұрын

Your best bet would be to buy something like a Sony XLR-K3m which would give you 4 channels of audio

THE big downside of this system that very few people mention is the non-replaceable battery. Not only is this a problem for long shooting days (which is always the case in my situation) but also is turns your entire system into e-waste once the battery has reach its life-time. This is a form of planned-obsolescence and an environmental disaster... Companies should not be allowed (by law) to manufacture these time of product without removable batteries.. It's just common sense.

@rickbiessman6084 9 ай бұрын

I agree. I may still end up buying a wirelss system like this, but I absolutely don’t agree with non-replaceable batteries. Crazy that people think this is ok.

With everyone with phones and Bluetooth devices, do you get distortion or noise, cut outs, or interference at certain distances? My earbuds cut out and get interference issues when there's too many people at the gym. Weddings typically have people at them. Ha ha

the nonscrewable jack is a big bummer? come on, i use the mic one since it's out. in many tricky situations where the dude with the mic has to do things. and the jack never been pulled out accidentally. but yes, it could be better screwable. but its not a "big bummer" the "bigger bummer" is it's shiny case surface. shining in every picture if sun or light is falling on it. that's way more "bumming". but not too bad ;) thanks for your video!
