[@kainoaliu]

I really appreciate the range test especially for someone who does weddings and needs to know how well a wireless mic can handle distance and wireless interference.

[@RacingBrick]

I tested the Mic 2 from the Pocket 3 Creator Combo (before the whole package was released), and the quality of the Bluetooth connection with a non-DJI device was very different compared to what was recorded internally or in the Pocket 3. It would be great if you could do a comparison now that the receiver is available, by connecting it to your computer and then doing a recording with a direct BT connection to the same device.

[@alancongratssoonyoullhead5273]

It was great and informative review . Thank you 🙏

[@Twobarpsi]

Excellent review! You are my go to tech reviewer! Tge noise cancellation setting on the DJI mics was incredible!

[@fotografkennethlund]

I'm using both DJI 2 mic and Rode Wireless Go 2 Pro and to my ears, the DJI 2 has much better audio - speech is a lot more intelligible and requires less editing to get the best results :)

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Aldryn, thank you for your live testing and a detailed overview of the DJI Mic 2. Your testing against the wireless DJI Mic and Rode shows the differences and highlights. As always, thanks for your outstanding review.

[@RealGrooveRandom]

Great review as always.. thanks!

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review and comparison video Aldryn.

[@ridezfeelz]

Excited to have this to my OSMO action 4. Thanks FlyPath!

[@dadlifetravel]

Amazing review as always 👏 your my go to for camera,drone, and audio reviews !

[@FlytPath]

I appreciate that!

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

I did get value from this video, thank you. I’m sold on the DJI Mic 2. The DJI Mic 2 will be a great addition to my gear. Excellent review 🏆. ✌️😎

[@berndkiltz]

Awesome. Your reviews are great!

[@GetBusyLiving]

Great video. You are one of my go-to channels for any new tech, you always do a top notch job of covering off all of the key information and your production quality is always fantastic. Appreciate the efforts you put into your videos - thanks mate.

[@FlytPath]

Thank u 🙏

[@octanetvchannel]

​@@FlytPathdo you know how many transmitters you can use on the dji or rode? I am wondering if you do more than 2?

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Very informative, thanks

[@joseluisruiz3789]

I finally got to get the mic 2. When i ordered the pocket 3 only the basic boxed model was readily available. Thanks for making this video. Do you have a video on how to pair two mic 2s to the pocket 3?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Excellent teview

[@whoismichaelesquire]

I bought the DJI pocket 3 without the combo when it came out and I’m glad I waited for the stand alone Mic 2. It has extra features that the one that came in the combo didn’t have. I think that it’s the perfect companion for the pocket 3 cause now two people can have a mic and it’s more discreet while filming in public. Where I live people will kick you out of a place if you have a camera.

[@SECRETCREEKPROSPECTING1776]

I will stay with the first set , it has been more than satisfying for what I do. 😅

[@mice_cowski]

Great review! If you already have the Mic 2 from the Pocket 3, can you pair it with the kit and have all 3 mics connected to the one receiver at the same time?

[@psoon04286]

I’m sure DJI had planned to release this much anticipated accessory in December. What I’m more interested is what other devices it can pair and function with directly(not with the Mic2 receiver)

[@jaydub1380]

Another great video! I still have 2 of the original Osmo Actions. I know MIC 2 won't bluetooth to the Action 1 but will that usb c adapter work with Action 1?

[@DroseMr]

Sounds good!🎉

[@jonahkaiguam]

Alydrn doing what he does best.....persuading me on buying more and more tech thanks to his awesome reviews.

[@FlytPath]

😁

[@mjparker75]

Are there any substantial differences between the receiver built into the Pocket 3 and the one sold with the standalone kit?

[@dquangt]

Are these mics good for recording ambient sounds. Like nature sounds to add to your videos?

[@iPhoneSpy]

Great video. Can you use both mics at same time with the Action 4 using Bluetooth since the Action 4 was originally made to use only one mic with Bluetooth?

[@SamandSteve]

Pretty sure you can’t. One mic only. You would need to use the receiver as well.

[@HarryShares]

Could you please test the bluetooth with Android or Iphone?

[@BrianKushner]

Thanks for the video. So I own one Mic 2 transmitter that came with my Pocket 3. So I can get the 1 trans 1 received and a case and then I'd have the complete package correct?

[@TechJB65]

@FlytPath can you elaborate on if using the lightning connector with an iphone 14 or lower, does it still record mono like the DJI Mic 1 without an elaborate setup of cables and such? That would be great if the Mic 2 would allow recording in stereo with just plugging the receiver itself into the iphone. Much appreciate Aldryn, keep up the great work!!

[@bastienchill]

Also interested by this question

[@maclokal]

Finally they’re releasing only one mic for my Action 4

[@commonsenselogic]

Love the Bluetooth ability. Thats worth buying just a transmitter for $99.

[@joeym4090]

FlyPath, to be able to retrieve the 32 bit float files to a portable device such a phone or tablet, is something I wish DJI can give us. I wonder if you have access to suggest this to them. Nowadays many people edit on the fly and post videos straight from their portable devices without the need of a computer. Not sure if a 32 float file is a limitation on cell phones. I wonder if DJI can make this happen via the Mimo app or a different app per say. I can only dream for now. Please keep those Mic 2 and tips videos coming. 👍

[@WillNewcomb]

Both wireless lavs sound great & the noise reduction is impressive. Why only comparisons outside? Why not in the office? Your shot gun(?) mic was very echoey. I'd expect both wireless lavs to do a better job of limiting the audio to your voice rather than reflections. How about a comparison with one of the many more affordable wireless lavs? I have a Fulaim X5.

[@TroyCityMedia]

The noise canceling is the part to sell me, both sound quality without it were about the same with it on DJI

[@honigtrailapiary4341]

I have a DJI ACTION3 will this mew Mic 2 work with the Action 3?

[@eddiethomas4125]

Do the Dji mic 2 work with the action 3?

[@sameaston1301]

That noise reduction is amazing. Game changer 👍

[@dmalovic]

I don’t know why all the reviewers rave about it. It can come in handy, but it cannot be adjusted and affects your voice. It is far easier and more adjustable to simply use the voice isolation available in most NLE softwares today.

[@sonideepak1981]

Super video

[@FlytPath]

Thanks

[@kinocchio]

Does noise cancelling work when connected via Bluetooth?

[@AjaySingh-228]

Nice sir

[@StarWarsJay]

Oh for gods sake. I just bought the DJI mic one 😂. Just call me Mr Lucky.

[@dominikjankowski5411]

Same here mate 😂

[@StarWarsJay]

@@dominikjankowski5411 ah well eh? Haha. I’m only using mine with an iPhone, not a high end camera, so I don’t suppose it’ll sound that different. It’s the dial on the new receiver I’m jealous of.

[@sibertiger17]

Yep. Happens all the time. Just buy something and boom they release a new model... drives me crazy

[@dominikjankowski5411]

And the new AI integration is pretty interesting, that makes a big difference to the sound tbh

[@SUKHIJAHS]

Hi. Can We use Dji Mic Using Live Instagram

[@TheNavinia]

can the people who have the pocket 3 mic buy just a transmitter? it would be nice to use my mic on my camera

[@ThouShaltNotBlink]

Your so many of latest product and also have shop here but the giveaway not seeing u share your blessing so unfair

[@kirtanforthesoul]

Can we buy the 1 transmitter and 1 receiver and use it with the microphone that came with the dji osmo pocket 3?

[@Jonasegway]

Yes!

[@FlytPath]

Yup

[@kanarimentos7056]

hi i have question i have mavic2 with freshcare 2 years warrant my question if my drone lost or fly away of course dj will give me replacement what happened if some one find my drone he can use .it

[@LukeSchaeferFilms]

Did I miss something? What was your verdict? Which do you recommend?

[@ItsYourDream]

a few questions. 1. Can 32-bit sound be recorded into the camera? via a transmitter. when using Rode? When using DJi mic v2? 2. If I use the same lavalier microphone, will the Rode have an audio advantage? 3. Does noise canceling work with the lavalier microphone? ps. Don't forget that the Rode comes with two lavalier microphones and that's cool. Thanks for answers!

[@RobSpiv]

In the US, cannot record 32-bit wireless into any camera. There is a patent on this and nobody wants to pay so they don't have this feature except outside the US.

[@jackpatmoreinc]

How does the DJI Mic 2 compare to the Rode Wireless Pro? I was about to order the Rode Wireless Pro, but am unsure of which to get now after the release of the DJI Mic 2. I shoot mainly weddings and vlogs. Thanks!

[@FlytPath]

What specific questions did you have?

[@jackpatmoreinc]

@@FlytPath What are the pros and cons of each microphone? I know they both record in 32-bit float, but am unsure of which fits the professional gap better.

[@maclokal]

Hi Aldryn, do you think standalone DJI Mic 2 can connect with bluetooth on iOS and Android?

[@SchaufussTV]

It can 😊

[@maclokal]

@@SchaufussTVthanks, I ordered one

[@tornoofo17]

Sounds like the news embargo has been lifted!

[@timrock01]

I see you can buy a white Mic 2 unit separately ($99). Will the Mic 2 units work with the Mic 1 receiver???

[@timrock01]

I just contacted DJI, they are not compatible in any way. Too bad, I'd buy the white MIC2 if they were.

[@JKPOrigins]

Does the DJI Mic 2 come with timecode? From what I've seen, it does not 🥲

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

It doesn’t

[@JKPOrigins]

@@JamesJacksonFilmzshame. Not worth it imo then, hopefully the next one has it

[@nufobiketrip]

If i get only the Transmitter to use it with my OA4, can i record in 32 bit or i need the receiver aswell? Thanks

[@Squidpaws-]

As I understand, the 32bit float is only available with internal recording straight onto the transmitter and not onto your camera. So, to use the 32bit, you will need to download it from the transmitter and then edit and sink it with your video in post. So yes you will get 32bit float with only the transmitter.

[@nufobiketrip]

I emailed DJI support and they told me the audio file is stored inside the camera but also as a backup in the Transmitter, and yeah 32 bit@@Squidpaws-

[@Squidpaws-]

That's great to know. Thanks for the clarification.

[@iamnotapoet]

We shoot our Beer 🍺 Vlogs in bars with music playing. Have you tested noise reduction in that kind of environment? Can it suppress the songs ? Or does it also destroy the speaking voice on your worn mic ? Any chance you have tested (or can test) and report noise reduction in that kind of environment? Also, does DJI have plans to allow the internal 32bit float recording to work when used as a Bluetooth mic. I know it wasn’t working in Bluetooth mode. But do they have plans to fix that ? Thanks , as always, for fantastic video. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏️ & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]

[@jalladin]

@Kritsina thank you for continuing to keep us updated. I live in Virginia (Hampton Roads area) and I’m in the market buying my first (modular) home🎉. In my area there is a company (Clayton Homes) that builds modular homes as well as manufactured. I’ve visited the lot and they have wonderful homes. They only had manufactured homes on the lot to view. I was wondering if you’ve heard anything about Clayton Homes and if you might share your thoughts on them if you have. I enjoy watching your videos and value your thoughts and opinions. I appreciate your help what you provide to us here on KZbin. Thank you

In case you guys didn't hear him say it 10 times, you don't have to buy the creator combo to get the dji mics!

[@ShaneBaker]

Hmmmm. Not really a comparison, was it? Disappointing. And FWIW, after you buy two lavs for the DJI, the price difference in Australia is AUD2.

[@v_stands_for_value124]

A mile away test is useless dude, go behind a car or put people between mic and receiver otherwise it's useless info

[@HeyMaxNeal]

0:35 - on the words "be", "D", and "two" there's a whistle-tone coming through the mic. I've heard this throughout the video too but only coming from the DJI Mic 2. Curtis Judd made a video mentioning this issue is being fixed by a new firmware update. I'm not the only one hearing this right?

[@mikeblack_pw]

The lav mic screw in feature of the Rode can’t be underestimated. It’s one of two reasons I upgraded from the Rode WGII to the Rode WP. Shame that DJI doesn’t have it. Especially because the bold white logo on the mic capsule is obnoxious and screams for a lav mic to be used. The Rode also has two settings of high pass settings to reduce wind noise etc. So if all else is equal, I’m happy I purchased the Rode WP.

[@Marcus_Visbal]

Is it me or does the Mic 1 sound better?

This is the second video comparison of these 2 mics that I’ve seen. To me the Rode sounds fuller while the DJI seems a bit compressed.

[@creativeroom365]

As a sound engineer I like Rode better than DJI because it sounds natural but DJI have more features that I can’t deny.
