Thanks for the update. Curtis Judd had issues, too, a few weeks ago, but he released a final review that came out this week and didn’t mention any of the problems he initially had. So, I asked him if he received a firmware update from DJI with fixes, and he said yes. But I wish he would have mentioned that in his final review. Thanks for keeping us updated.

The locking connector flub was such a non-issue -- extremely common for those of us with substantial field experience using a variety of lavs and receivers. (I once lost an entire celebrity interview that way.) The locking portion can usually be easily removed for more compatibility, and I simply forgot (never again).

@@Magnum199999no sadly on the Mic 2 this is really the difference of a KZbinr market versus a independent journalist market who has higher standards but at a similar budget. These aren’t too different price points from those where a locking TRS is the minimum acceptable standard and we should be demanding this.

The receiver turns off random at me once and I found out that sometimes, if you touch the contact pins (those copper dots that connects the reciever to the charging case), it triggers a shut down similar on when you put it back in the case. I have tried to replicate tha shut down many times but manage to do it only twice and with a very specific way of contact on the pins.

I have a similar setup: the DJI Mic 2 + the MI Shoe adapter for the Sony camera + Rode Lav II. One trick I found using a lav mic with a locking mechanism on the transmitter unit is to unscrew the locking bit, if possible, allowing the 3.5mm pin to go deeper into the DJI unit. As for the interference noise, this might be a problem with the cable and the 3.5mm ports on both the camera and receiver unit. I often run into interference issues with the 3.5mm mic jack. Getting the Mi hot shoe adapter might solve the problem, as I found the hot shoe connection to be more stable than the 3.5mm overall.

My TX units both fail to record audio and if I do get recorded audio, it's corrupted worse than what you had coming out of your receiver. DJI is replacing under warranty but I definitely do not trust this system in it's current state. Any new units I receive will be tested to the max before using them in any paid projects. I did purchase the DJI Hot Shoe receiver so I can have solid audio on my camera, just in case the TX units fail again. Glad you were able to get a system that worked for you. I'm hoping for the same in a few weeks time.

After a few email exchanges they suggested that I plug and unplug the cable to transmitter about 10 times and it should reset and work. 😂 yeah, it worked. So, now I do that every time a plug into the one transmitter. Unfortunately, my unit was out of warranty. Rather than spend $$ on costly repairs I live with it! 🤷🏽‍♂️

I bought the original DJI mic system from B&H. The receiver locked up almost immediately; I couldn't even turn it off. I returned the set for a full refund and bought a Rode Wireless Go system. I think DJI makes some awesome audio kit but they have serious quality control issues. Presumably, their drones are much more reliable.

I had the exact same problem with the interference on a different brand but similar feature set. I am currently in contact with customer service to get the issue resolved, and they have responded to my problems within a reasonable time frame. The Ankerwork M650 are very similar in features to the DJI mic 2, and I actually prefer their round shape over the rectangular DJI. However, just as you said in this video, the audio was completely unusable and I was using them in a "live streaming setting". The first set would get the interfence randomly and this was in a rural setting with no major sources of interference such as cell phone towers, transformers, large power lines and etc. I isolated each side of the stereo audio through a mixer and both mics had the same issue even though one was more prone to the problem. I eventually duplicated the problem with nothing but a cellphone and the mic set with all other electronics removed. They replaced that set and the replacement set had the same issue but I could easily duplicate the problem by being outside of a 25 foot range. Yes, I did say that correct, outside of 25 feet, straight line of sight with no obstructions the audio was unusable. However, the first set would work at times with a range of several hundred feet, even through building walls. So, I believe there may be some QC issues regarding reception that use a common component to both systems. My audio anomaly sounds the exact same, as that poor reception, garbled jibberish that you display in this video.

For what it’s worth, we have the 1st gen system. Love it. Recently bought a bluetooth transmitter for my airpods and tried recording an interview while monitoring the sound from the A7s3 with the Bluetooth adapter - the theory being wireless monitoring would literally free me up to float while filming and yet still constantly monitoring sound. BUT… it was interfering with the DJI transmission and made our recording to our A7s3 very garbled- just like what happens to you. And also like you, the on-board recording was fine. I was able to figure it out because we use to use a Sennheiser system but something was wrong with the recordings which at first I blamed on the camera, then the cable. Took we a while to realize the compact elbow receiver did not like being within 2ft of our PMW-F5. Once I let it dangle off of it, everything was great. Maybe that helps you sleuth out the issue somehow?

I had issues with the Mic2 as well. I purchased 3 completed sets as well as 3 OSMO Pocket 3 creator sets. All Mic2s from OSMO creator sets AND Mic2 sets work with the OSMO Pocket 3 and can be easily paired and swapped. The issue is that within an hour the mics refused to pair to two of the receivers. I went through DJIs troubleshooting and they eventually asked me to return the two DJI Mic2 Sets that wouldn’t pair with the receivers. Hopefully this can be fixed through an update, but even that can’t happen unless it can be loaded directly onto the Mic2 it’s self. I also had the same interference issues but only if I was around a 2.4ghz source… like you guessed it WiFi. The mics worked beautifully away from WiFi sources:( Hope this helps someone.

I don't do tech reviews, but I have 1100 videos up on KZbin, so I heavily rely on technology. My DJI Mic V2 has worked flawlessly. Although I don't use lav mics often anymore, I do have a couple of Rode Lav mics that worked well with my DJI Mic V1 kit. Next time I shoot, I will test my Rode lavs to make sure they work, just in case. I am glad the V2 kit works without a receiver on my Pocket 3, and I plan on replacing my Action 3 with the 4 just for the built-in receiver. When it comes to tech, I like less but better: no receiver and no wire, just turn on the mic and see the audio bar bouncing across the top of the screen. Plus, I use the Mic V2 without a receiver directly with my iPhone and MacBook Pro. It has simplified my setup time and has worked 100% so far. I do have the 32-bit internal record set up to auto-start when I record but haven't needed it yet. No receiver, no wire from receiver to camera, no lav mic plugged in. Turn on the mic and hit record; great audio and foolproof, which I need as a solo creator with no one to check audio or video; I just need it to work every time.

It is not just you. Curtis Judd had issues too, so eh, sample size of professionals having issues on early bird samples is interesting. Firmware or hardware issues. Maybe later production runs were higher quality than reviewer samples. Or maybe there are production issues that will be reflected in overall reviews once sampling biases goes away. Great to know that DJI doesn’t cherry pick reviewer samples :) Feels a bit like the Canon R5 debacle but worse, and R5 issues could be mitigated with firmware update or less demanding video settings. DJI malfunctioning in various strange ways at its core functionality seems way worse.

Bottom line, Rode Wireless Pro is the way to go for a premium more professional product. dji does win in a lot of categories, but to me…Rode hands down. BTW, Rode did have a sale for $349 on the Rode last week! It’s better value even at $400 the fact that you get the lav mics for free.

ok so im really happy that the noise cancel button can be disabled ! .. but this is what I dont get ... this tx is small , so most men have banana hands and holding the tx to put in their pocket , its easy to hold the power button and turn it off including recording ! .. how is this possible ??? surely all they had to do was a disable all tx buttons via rx !! its just so frustrating ,,,.. please can everyone message dji ? all we want is a hold option like the zoom h1 which is ancient !

when they make the mic input where you an screw it in the mic, then it will be perfect, and maybe go back to matte black too. the designs is cool but we want practical not cool for video interviews

This is exactly why these mics are great. Issue with transmission. Internal recording to save the day.

To be quite honest with you it was probably just interference from a Wi-Fi device. If your watch is transmitting a video signal or your router is sending 6 gigahertz or 5 GHz signal. You never really know what that type of stuff and you'll never get a street answer out of engineers. Although for some reason I thought you might know this lol

Every time I listen to an audio recorded on the DJI mic 2, it sounds awful no matter the chanel. I have a lot of respect for DJI and own several of their products but how could DJI mess that 1 that bad is baffling?!?!?!

Thanks Bro! Only because "every other review is so positive" that means nothing. A lot of reviews are payed, don´t forget that. Your isues are your issues, END of the story. Try another unit and let us know!

Haha, it's just you! I've had no issues. Obviously the mic works and the issue is transmission and/or the receiver. When you get the new unit, try it at home and somewhere remote. Sennheiser lavs are a PITA when not used with Sennheiser equip.

It is entirely possible that the janky sound could have been your camera processing the audio.

Saving Photography Content Creators from themselves. (a template of how to beat the algorithm) Gear, Features, Settings exhaustion. Introduce movie reviews from a photographer perspective (DP). Movies such as Oppenheimer, Poor Things, American Fiction, Origin, The Creator, Ferrari, Air, Chicken Run, Barbie, and Thr Holdovers for example. Aerial, underwater, severe climate, polarization, classics. What it's like being married to a photographer. How Apple Vision and 35mm/120 Film meet if at all. Street Walk, photographer's conversation. You guy's live in a remote place, are their other photographers where you live that have a story to tell? (Collaboration) How to minimize exposure to avoid theft. Securing your gear, and workflow to stay safe. One of the biggest keys to beat every social media algorithm is collaboration especially surprise collaborations. Is there a photographer's table talk similar to that of Charlie Rose or round table talk?

Weird that the way the 3.5 locking jack is designed makes it incompatible with female jacks without the locking threads. That’s a really stupid design choice.

Simple… You should not have done any review at all but waited for you / dji to solve the problems.
