DJI Mic 2 Transmitter with Pocket 3 - Your Questions Answered

[@jimcoon]

I’m 70 years old and just bought DJI Mic 2 set for my G9II. Saw your video in my KZbin feed and decided to purchase the DJI Pocket 3 as well. You explain stuff like a granddaughter talking to her grandfather. That’s a good thing. There are a lot of buttons and now I can pair BOTH my transmitters to my pocket 3 and put one mic on each of my two grandkids. We are heading out tomorrow and the two kids are going to film 5 historic sites in our small ski town in Central Oregon. Thanks again and I will be back often. Jim in Oregon

[@RolandoNispiros]

Thanks for clarifying the user of Mic 2 with the Pocket 3. It’s very helpful for a first time user like myself.

[@tubelesschannel]

At 10:12 Yes you may also use it with Osmo Action 4 I suppose !

[@Serverokchannel]

Yes. I do have Osmo Action 4 and it does work without transmitter

[@kevindodds5441]

I have hardly used this kit but am starting to again and will likely use the pocket 3 and mic 2’s regularly, you are my go to person for trouble shooting/setting up/reminding me Thank you always very informative and easy to follow.

[@UrbanGuitarLegend]

I'm curious the DJI Mic 2 will accept a line level input on the 3.5 mm input. For example if you want connect an external mixer to the DJI Mic 2 transmitter.

[@OfficialTashika]

This is very informative video thank you for making it. I have 1 question, can you connect 2 DJI Mic 2 to a smartphone, IPhone 15 pro max?

[@Gemini_Connect]

You can only connect 1 DJI Mic 2 to a phone at the moment. Hopefully that will change someday!

[@OfficialTashika]

@@Gemini_Connect Hopefully it does change as two would be better, thank you for your reply

[@Gemini_Connect]

@OfficialTashika if you really need two, you can record audio internally on one transmitter. It’ll take extra time in editing to sync everything, but it would give you audio from 2 mics.

[@OfficialTashika]

@@Gemini_Connect thank you this is a great option. I’m also wondering if we’re able to use the reciever with iPhone and the 2 mics like you can with the first mic

[@joeyjux]

Do you need a receiver for 2 mics?

[@dmitry_musihin]

How will the microphone record when the internal memory is full? Does it cycle in a circle or stop recording when the memory is full?

[@paulgerrard9227]

It has up to 11-16 hours available.

[@elmono3939]

Well explained - in a clear, simple language supported by visuals. Thank you !

[@JoJotheTechie]

Thank you so much for this video. Late to the party getting the Pocket 3 and have watched a ton of videos, none of which went into this much detail on how to use the DJI Mic 2. This was extremely helpful.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Just revisiting this video in advance of the Jan. 17 announcement about the DJI Mic2 set. The one thing I'm disappointed about is the lack of a screw-down connection for a lavalier mic. I prefer to use a lav rather than have the transmitter clipped to my shirt, but I move around a lot in videos and cavaliers can get pulled out very easily. Anyway, do you have a specific lavalier mic you like with the dji mic2?

[@paulgerrard9227]

Behind the mic clip is a slot fo a lav cable to be held so it wont pull out of the 3.5mm plug

[@rockykanaka]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@totoroutes5389]

Do the filters for Pocket3 also fit on Pocket1 ?

[@Gemini_Connect]

I don’t think so. But I don’t have the Pocket 1 to test

[@WeddingDocumentary]

The 32 bit float gets recorded on the device or you have to import the audio from the transmitter to get the 32 bit audio ?

[@tentipiwildcamping]

Just asked same question

[@OrianIglesias]

I'd like to know this as well.

[@mathiassiebert1217]

Although you have answered so many questions about the DJI Mic 2, I still have one, and it concerns the scenario if you want to work with the DJI Mic 2 (for interviews) and with the stereo microphone of the Pocket 3 at the same time. When you turn on the P3 and the mic, do they connect automatically immediately, or do you have to reconnect the Mic2 every time? Because if you disconnect the Mic 2 and use it alone then you have to be able to use the stereo microphones directly on the Pocket 3?!

[@sharmagination]

@mathiassiebert1217 With the latest firmware update, you can turn on the option "Built-in Mic Audio Backup" i.e. you can now record two way. Hope this helps!

[@mathiassiebert1217]

@@sharmagination yes, I know. meanwhile my question is obsolete. one has only to wait long enough with the answer haha

[@andywillsfilm]

Thanks for the review on the DJI mic 2. 1/ Is it possible to connect a Rode wireless Go as a second Chanel with the DJI Mic 2 as the first channel so as to get stereo recording or 2 x mono? 2/ What are your thoughts on the quality of the Mic 2? 3/ Does the 32bit float functionality work if the transmitters internal recorder is not used?

[@dillonmorales6475]

So with this you do not need the receiver for the mics correct ? You could just purchase a 2nd mic once they are available and pair it directly ?

[@Gemini_Connect]

You don’t need the receiver as long as you’re using it with the Pocket 3 or Osmo Action 4. You’ll need the receiver to pair with any other camera.

[@PhotographybyCade]

very good videos . I have two of the dji osmo pocket 3's. I am still working on learning all to learn. My question is on the external mic. I have it paired and its on but when do I need to turn the transmitter button {red} on. or do I NEED TO USE IT. thanks

[@thewriter2549]

You are the best, imo, because you get right to the point, so thanks.

[@Magic_Mike69]

You guys are on fire with these Osmo 3 vids. Thank you for uploading this, you guys are the best tec channel!

[@gemwebb]

Glad I bought the DJI mic 2 that comes with 2 Mics for client interviews Vs the creator bundle with one mic. 🎉 Thanks for the clear video!

[@truthteller3024]

Can we have mic2with2mics plus extra battery handle and conduct and interview with osmo pocket 3?

[@DAVBOXER9]

Can it be connected with 3 transmitters? One from dji osmo pocket 3 creator combo and two from dji mic 2 + t`r`x + case???

[@shamuradov]

i have the same question but still can't find the answer anywhere

[@DAVBOXER9]

@shamuradov yeah, still nothing, didn't find the answer either

[@Markandmelissatravels]

Do you have to press record on the dji mic 2 when using the osmo pocket 3? Or is pressing record on the osmo pocket 3 enough to turn on the mic as well?

[@alessandrapopulin5006]

Hi thank you for your videos! One question: how to record ambient sound together with mic 2 on? If internal mic disactivates when mic 2 is on...

[@Gemini_Connect]

Best way is to disconnect mic 2 from Pocket 3 and record internally to that mic, and the native sound to the Pocket 3. It’ll require editing to synch the audio.

[@beniukas]

Hey. Will the mic turn on automatic when you are turning on osmo pocket3? If not, maybe you can turn on/off mic wirelessly from osmo pocket3? Or all the time you need to turn on/off mic with your fingers? Thank you

[@tanmaysakpalofficial]

When do you think the dji mic 2 will launch independently? Seems like the launch is close right?

[@GrenlandUnderVann]

DJI commented on this October 26, and basically said there was no information as of now.

[@livinginweymouth]

Purchased a pocket 3 combo today. I bought the combo for the extra battery and the mic. So glad I found your video as it explained how to use my single DJI mic as an extra mic. It's a shame I still have to use the extra receiver at the bottom though. Great video. Subbed 🙂

[@dunwitch]

Fantastic video. Clear, concise, easy to understand and packed with extremely useful and important information. Great work, you were a big help to me.

[@totoroutes5389]

Does the Mic2 work with Pocket3 without the Pocket battery extension?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Yes

[@totoroutes5389]

Can the included Mic2( in Creator Combo) record in 32bit float or is the DJI Receiver(for Mic2) required for that?

[@Derrickbtrujillo]

Hello and thank you for the video. Can you monitor the levels of both DJI Mic 2s at the same time on the screen of the Pocket 3? I want to shoot a car video and need one mic by the engine, and one by the exhaust but want to monitor the levels. Thank you.

[@TayeIm]

Great simple to understand and straight to the point! Thank you!

[@R1d3rBul]

Great video, you answered a lot of interesting questions! What are the beneficials to add Rode microphone to the dji? Can you taake the advantages of the bigger SPL diapasons ?

[@davidlesterband]

Love the video - Great job explaining everything. Question: I recorded some live music with the Mic Trans 2/Pocket 3. 32 bit On, Noise reduction On, Back Up audio On, The audio sounds like it's been compressed, and I was wondering if that could be the Noise Reduction? I played it using the VLC Player (free version) and on the P3 using the built in speaker. Would you recommend turning off Noise Reduction? Maybe plug a better mic into the Transmitter? I haven't listened to the audio recorded directly on the Mic 2 yet. Still Learning. Thanks for any help!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

If I don't get the creator kit can I buy this mic and adapter separate?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Not at the moment, but that may change soon!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

@@Gemini_Connect thanks! The creator kit is sold out everywhere but I think I’ll wait for it :)

[@MotorbikingAndMore]

I realise that this video was published 3 months agony now there is the DJI Mic available, does this mean that if you buy it separately as a second mic you can connect it to the Osmo Pocket 3, is this correct ? Thanks, appreciate your videos, clear and concise tips.

[@JohnKlick]

Yes, just did it

[@joshsimpson6020]

@@JohnKlick hi, did you just buy the transmitter by itself for about £90?

Excellent video. You answered all the questions I had as well. Appreciate it! Now we just need a standalone receiver for the new mics as well and we'd be golden!

[@electromechanician]

A standalone receiver and a way to buy another transmitter. I haven't been able to find the transmitter by itself yet unfortunately.

Wow. Fantastic video. I was just wondering about almost every one of those questions...and here you go answering them all in one short video. Now I'll have to watch it again. I just got my Pocket 3 a couple of weeks ago and I'm trying to figure it out. You've saved me a lot of grief. I've just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the great info.

[@charbax]

I bet they release the receiver and the second mic transmitter soon, with that DJI Mic 2 receiver for using with other cameras if needed..

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Nice video. I upgraded finally to the Osmo pocket 3 from stupid GoPro and I am BLOWN away. Hands down most amaizing thing ever. BUT, I wa sad about the external clip mics as it was TOO QUIET TO USE and I had to toss a full video because of it. I will try adjusting the gain and playing around with some of the settings. Hopefully it will improve . . . The MIC is my only complaint on this camera so far. If you are on the fence, just do it. It does take getting used to since the head moves so much, but it has so many features it just takes getting used to :)

[@TazV87]

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks the mics are low! The wireless mic sounds low to me even after raising gain to max +12. I mean it’s better but I feel should be louder for max.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

@@TazV87 I find it's better to turn noise suppression off. Not super loud. But a bit louder than with it on

[@jglo5649]

If you put a silicone cover on the mic for protection, will it affect the sound quality?

[@bluetysproductions]

Thank you for this video! It was super helpful for a quick search!

[@Ivan-ng1li]

Thank you for the good explanation. Could you tall me if it is possible to use original dji mic set, one of the mics and record sound on two channels? Whatever I use, mono or stereo regime, if I use one mic, the sound goes to a one channel, so I have to use two mics simultaneously. It’s not really comfortable.

[@joshuaparker3792]

Hi, what mic did you use for this video? I bought dji mic 2 primarily for iPhone and I am disappointed with the audio quality it delivers. Even when I use transmitter attached to my iPhone, audio is to low

[@editorskeys]

I couldn't seem to get the Lav working on the DJI Mic 2? It connects but no audio comes in?

[@frazermountford]

What a great video so many questions asked. I was dubious about a gimbal but it looks like a well done piece of kit. Im curious now to know what the noise floor levels are like between using the on board mic and the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter

[@KianourKianmehr]

I truly appreciate the wealth of information in your video! Could you kindly demonstrate if there's a method to connect either the DJI Pocket 3 or DJI Mic to bone conduction headphones via Bluetooth? As a dedicated videographer, monitoring my audio is paramount. Your assistance is immensely valued. Thank you!

[@UrbanGuitarLegend]

I think you have to use the USB C for your headphones as she is saying at 1:22

[@KianourKianmehr]

thanks for the reply buddy, yes we can use USB-C attached to Pocket3 to monitor the Audio, but i am looking for a way to do that wirelessly..... even DJI does not have any firmware update to do that through Pocket3 or Dji Mic receiver.....

[@adamagave]

Great video, you answered a lot of interesting questions!

[@bogman192]

Is there a way that when you power the camera OFF the audio transmitter will also power OFF? The transmitter stops when you stop recording - but when you turn the camera off the transmitter is still powered on. Merci. Love all the vids on pocket 3.

[@dugsbugs1]

I'm glad you finally told us how you got 2 of the transmitters. I see so many video's with people using 2 but we can't buy them. There is no reason dji couldn't make them available to purchase separately since the camera is setup to take 2. Instead, they will probably make us buy a complete package like the 1st generation instead of just 1 transmitter. I don't need another complete mic setup. I have plenty now. I will just need a 2nd transmitter.

[@shem44]

I guess DJI is trying to sell and promote pocket 3 currently thus they are holding the sales of additional TX. Give it some time and they will release 1 with new charger case.

[@bigtreefoot]

Excellent video I just have one question can you use? Can you do fast charging on the wireless mic to

[@Gemini_Connect]

I’m not sure. I don’t see any indicator letting me know the charging speed.

[@shlinder]

Excellent! Thank you! Now I just need to wait to buy a second transmitter separately! Love that you can do two!

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Trouble is you then only have two transmitters that can only be used with the pocket 3. Really you want a transmitter and receiver pack so you can use the 2 mics with other cameras as well.

[@CidAerialMediaServices]

Excellent video. Covered many features I wasn't even aware of when purchasing the creator combo. Thank you! Liked & subscribed.

[@hajidolly]

Your presentation was very good. I have an upcoming event with two speakers sitting side by side. I am concerned about getting cross talk between the mics. They will probably be around 4 feet apart. I wonder if I turn on noise reduction, that would lessen the possibility of cross talk between the mics?

[@PatchedBandit]

5:47 Pretty crucial to understand here as far as I know the 32bit float is not recorded to your video file? It is only recorded internally so you have to download it from the mic directly and sync audio separately to your video IF you want to use the 32 bit float files. Am I wrong? Nobody makes this clear in their videos which is frustrating. Just stating "yes there is 32 bit float" is not enough.

[@speliotis]

Thank you for answering the FAQ's. my microphone will not connect... I'm holding the connecting button on the mic. but the blue light never comes on. What do I do now?

[@coumanne]

Hello, I appreciate your videos. do you think that Pocket Dji 3 will be compatible with Rode wireless microphones? Thank you

[@Gemini_Connect]

It’s compatible if you attach the Rode receiver to the camera.

[@creativeconnection4U]

So I want to use DJI for my podcast on the go. I already own the MIC 2 TRX combo, and am thinking about buying two pocket 3s and having each guests mic synced (stereo) to one pocket 3, lettiing the other pocket 3 just record internal (room noise), clap syncing for pic and audio, and then of course editing in post. Does that sound like the proper setup/flow to you? Does the DJI TRX kind of become worthless now? Would love any advice?

[@Gemini_Connect]

I don’t podcast or record a lot of audio channels, so I may not be the best person to ask. But I think that sounds like a logical setup.

[@ClayclopsCeramics]

Wonderful video! Full of great clear concise explanations. Fantastic job!

[@antoniopasquariello161]

Can you use the microphone alone by programming it to record at a certain time? Txs

You can record on it alone, but I don’t think you can program it or set a timer on it.

My usb-c to 1/8" headphone adapter setup has a large amount of latency, about a half-second. Is this a function of the Osmo Pocket 3, or of the third-party adapter? Would a native USB-C headphone work better, and if so, what do you recommend?

[@Gemini_Connect]

I don’t use headphones to monitor audio on the camera, so hard for me to say.

[@benjamindbaker69]

Thanks for the great video! If I connect the Pocket 3 to my laptop via the USB C port in order to be used in webcam mode for Zoom, what options are there for audio?

[@BasicallyBosco]

Maybe this question got lost somewhere in the video and I didn’t see it. Can you use the DJI Mic 2 standalone without osmo pocket 3 being on? Like can I just plug in a lav mic into dji mic 2 and use the onboard recording to sync in post with another camera (such as a Sony Mirrorless)?

[@kunirkun]

Great video! Thank you Ms Suzi. Can you recommend us best wired lav mic to be used with Dji Mic 2? Like, Rode Lavalier II vs Rodelink Lav? I'm currently struggling to find out wired lav that have little to 0 interference (static buzzing sound). Especially if the lav gets close to the dji mic 2 unit.

[@discosourcedjs]

I got a question I can't find the answer to. Can you use the microphone to narrate over an edited video? Cause the only way I can see how is to narrate while watching the video, then import the recording. Would be nice to connect it directly to my phone if possible and record my narration.

[@vomshams]

What about more than 2 dji mic2s like 3 or 4 if I am shooting a with more than 2 persons ? Con I use another brand as a third or fourth mic at the same time with Osmo pocket3 ?

I got the DJI Mic 2 set with the charger (2 transmitter, 1 receiver, battery case) for my GoPro use. Will the mic work wtih the Pocket 3, or do I have to buy the creator kit with the mic 2 transmitter to work with the Pocket 3? I'm confused.

[@Gemini_Connect]

The DJI Mic 2 transmitter will work with the Pocket 3 via Bluetooth. It’s the exact same transmitter that comes with the Creator Combo. I have a setup guide for the DJI Mic 2 that has a section dedicated to how to pair the mic with the Pocket 3.

You can record audio separately to the third transmitter and sync it to the other 2 in post production. But you can’t record with all 3 directly into the video, if that makes sense.

[@treyfrog]

Does the DJI mic 2 power on/off automatically when you turn the Pocket on/off? One of my biggest gripes with the Rode wireless GO mics is that you need to constantly turn them on/off or else the battery drains and they won't last a full day of vlogging.
