DJI Mic Firmware Update

[@DawahDigital]

Just watched 3 of your DJI mic videos and want to say thank you. You’re straight forward and simple to follow tutorials are exactly what is needed in this space. I hope your channel grows man. 💯

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hey thanks SO much for that comment - it really means a lot when the "algorithm" doesn't seem to notice sometimes - at least I know with comments like yours that I am at least helping some people! - Thanks again :)

[@chadiwack]

me too. lol. These are great tuts. quick to the point, clear and concise. Thanks Jason.

[@RyanSnowPhotographer]

God damn!! I came to watch 1 video about setting up my newly purchased dji mic and now I’m 3 videos in 😂 You get me everytime with the video recommendation at the end 😂 I like your relaxed style and lack of the over hyped typical KZbin jargon

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Haha thanks (I hope!!) I worry at times that I am not "youtuber" enough on camera!! :)

[@RyanSnowPhotographer]

I know exactly what you mean. I’m trying to do some talking head videos to introduce my channel and am struggling hard with it 😂 Don’t worry about you! Your voice is so calming and your so clear. Don’t change to that over hyped American style stuff! Def earned a sub so keep up the great work. Ps my dji mic just arrived today and I’m soooooo stoked with them 🤩 way cooler than I thought

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks sooooo much and glad you like the mics :)

[@pathegartyfilmssongs9487]

Best ever tutorial Thank You. No annoying intro etc just solid information.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much! I really try to value my viewers' time - all the best :) :)

[@ThaKid14]

you simply have the best DJI tutorial channel and its not even close. CLASS. cheers bud

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

WOW!! Thanks so much!! Appreciate that! :) :)

[@jintherapist9837]

Same, just watched your 3 videos, Beginner, Mic Settings, and this Firmware Update. Straight to the point and no nonsense opinions like some other videos that's like 30minutes long....

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much!! :)

[@32SIX]

Really intelligent on how you structured this I’m three videos in!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Yay! Thanks :) :)

[@JasonTerryKC]

Thanks! I watched a few of you DJI mic videos recently and they were really helpful. I am sure it took a lot of time to record those an edit those videos. So thank you for your effort.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Wow thanks so much Jason!!! I really appreciate that - you are awesome! Glad the videos helped :)

[@StevenSmith-nq5xe]

This may be my favorite video of yours to date--because it will keep me from having incidents like one last week. I love this DJI mic system, but my interview subject must have tapped the clipped-on mic, because after a couple of minutes, recording stopped (andI had plenty of battery). Having the Auto Record will eliminate much stress, especially when I'm doing a one-man-band shoot. Thank you!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks Steven, there is also the ability to lock transmitters "REC Stop Lock: off by default. If REC Stop Lock is on, the user cannot stop recording when pressing the REC button to avoid unexpected operation" - also check my updated setup vid if you haven't already seen it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTGeoRujrCLbtU It is good DJI continues to add features like this via firmware updates.

[@EnglishPappa]

Simply thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

You're so welcome and thanks for the thanks - I appreciate it :)

[@issacsweb]

Wonderful videos, they are much appreciated and well produced! Subscribed!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Wow - thanks so much!! :)

[@rev.davidpyell4561]

You do great videos very simple to understand and very clear. I have a question and I don't know if you can answer it. I'm trying to update the firmware for the receiver. I have been able to update to the latest firmware for the transmitters. However, I cannot update the firmware for the receiver. When I try to update it. It tells me that the volume drive is full. I make sure it is the correct drive and it is the no name volume for the receiver. What can I do? Do you have an idea? firmware v02.00.72.87

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi that sounds weird - I haven't seen that myself - make sure you are copying the firmware files that has _rx_ not _tx_ - you need the _rx_ file for the receiver. If that doesn't work you could try doing a factory reset or reboot of the receiver, download the firmware again and try the update process again.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Thank you. Great video -- very helpful.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Yay - thanks! :) :)

[@SM4rk]

Quick question, perhaps even trivial. Does automatic recording start every time recording starts from the camera and stops when recording is stopped? I have the osmo action 3 combination with dji mic... if I take 6 separate shots, will I have 6 separate backup files? or will it start backing up when the first recording starts, generating a single file until the end of the sixth recording?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

No, the camera does not control the internal recording. Auto recording if enabled starts when you power on the transmitters.

[@reelweaver]

Hey thanks for the nice Videos. I am looking for a Solution on my FX3 to internally record MIC 1 and 2 as well as Using the internal mic of FX3 since its so good. So I dont wanne loose that for getting the DJI Mic. Like: Interview: two persons connected....one third comes...dont have the time to switch. My shotgun is a bit to big to use it always. There its no Problem with 4 Channels. I know I can always press record and do it seperately...but have to sync every sound and I really miss that. Like: Channel 1 DJI 1, channel 2 DJI 2, Channel 3 FX3

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Great question - don't have an FX3 so don't know sounds like you might need some more equipment to pull that off though?. Looks like it has 3 inputs but without seeing one I don't know - the handle has XLR inputs with Phantom power?

[@Kovaction]

Short sweet and perfect!!! Using the mikes on a travel vlog and auto backup is exactly what we need!!! Thanks.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much - glad to help :)

[@Kovaction]

@@JasonRobertsVideo it really did. Thanks!

[@selecttoursnyc7787]

Any ideas as to why neither receiver nor transmitter updates after disconnecting from the computer? I followed everything you did and no luck.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Sorry I have no idea - maybe it was already on that version?? You can check the versions in the receiver menus.

[@iSpike]

Love all your DJI Mic videos. Cheers

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much, stay tuned I've got another one coming soon :)

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

you are good at explaining all this thanks

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks Paul :)

[@vladrapchan5330]

Do you know if its transmitters are able to record the safe (-6db) track internally?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

I don't think so unfortunately - that would be a great feature - maybe DJI will add hopefully in a future firmware!

[@Ey.Manuel]

I have a problem where when I have both transmitters out it only show my noise bar on one and that one has a speaker icon and the other has a mic icon but it doesn’t show the green bar do you know what setting I messed up and how to fix

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi Emmanuel - have you got one of the transmitters muted maybe?

[@MichaelYoungKim]

Thank you for all the DJI mic related video. Jason, I have a question hopefully you can answer. When I record internally to the transmitter (not using the camera), it seems like the volume is so low even when I increase the transmitter volume to max. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi Michael - with the transmitter gain set to max then you should get a reasonable level signal - i have mine set to about +3 DB and that seems fine for my voice level - with a little bit of volume increase in post

[@Icelandlover]

I love the format you use to break down each topic of the mic on seperate videos. Could i suggest you provide the links below every videos for easy reference? Thanks for your hard work. Btw you are am excellent communicator! Liked all and subscribed!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much - great idea on the links as well - thanks :)

[@TK-zx5mx]

I just recevied my DJI mic set and the firmware that was preloaded is v02.00.72.83. Is it safe to think that this is a newer firmware than what is listed on the firmware update page (v02.00.72.80)? Thanks!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Depends on the versioning scheme that DJI use but I would think you are correct :)

[@kurtnelle]

To be precise. The receiver can start and stop the backup recording on the transmitters?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

That's correct Shawn :)

[@alphadanger2223]

I updated my DJI mic transmitter and receivers to the new version and in the settings it shows everything is on version 2, but when I swipe down I don't have the transmitter settings menu, it simply goes from volume to settings??

[@alphadanger2223]

nevermind i had a slightly older version of firmware 2.0 installed from the dji page, installed the version ending with .80 and it shows now and works

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Cool - glad you worked it out :)

[@sebastienreichenbach1333]

Thanks a lot for this clear review of the update. I noticed a bug with the two transmitters with the firmware v02.00.72.80. I've set them both on auto record as you suggested, but when I manipulate them (and tap on the top of the unit - where the jack port and the built in microphone are), it randomly stops the recording for a few seconds (the red light swithes of, and then switches on again). Could you tell me if you encounter the same issue ? Best

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi, I haven't noticed that on mine yet

[@7tcsails]

When I connect a transmitter to my MacBook, I can't find the files. Where are they? What do I search for. I've tried searching several places in my file system, but no luck.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

They should just appear but I don't have a Mac

[@wgmweddingvideographers5074]

I am having a terrible time with this new DJI MIC. It is dropping in and out constantly even at only 20m and in direct line of sight. Im thinking possibly RF Interferrence of some kind. Have you experienced this problem

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Do you need to update the firmware? You can check this vid to learn how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKunlniOZbx4rLs that fixed problems for some people.

[@ZafarDidit]

Thank you Jason

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

No problem! :) :)

[@RobertoCampoliOfficial]

Hi I have a question… I might be missing something simple here but I just did an interview using the dji mics and when I've come to edit the interview I can get each mic sounding great on their own even done a little mix within logic on each separate mic. But then when I come to edit the full interview I of course have to put both voices on top of each other and sync them up. I've managed to do that fine but they just sound a bit naff because we're sitting apart from each other in the interview you can here the other person speaking slightly in each mic. Am i correct in saying the only way to elimnate this is to go through the whole interview bit by bit and cut out the other mic when the other person is speaking? This would be a very very lengthy process so I'm hoping for someone to jump on this post and save my day...or should i say my week! The way I recorded the interview is a mic on both people abs clicked record on both transmitters then dragged the files of each transmitter and loaded them into filmora 11. I recorded in mono so have separate recordings for each transmitter. What am I doing wrong? 🙏

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hey Roberto - great question - just remember that the mics are omni directional and will pick up other sounds like the other interview person - as a quick fix you could apply a gate effect on each mic track to "auto mute" the volume when the sound level is below a specific volume - this might allow you to automatically cut out the lower level volumes when the other person is speaking.

[@RobertoCampoliOfficial]

@@JasonRobertsVideo thanks for your reply I will look into adding a gate but if I have a few people in the interview and have 4 dji mics this will be a huge problem 🙈 that was my future plan. Thanks again for your reply I really appreciate it :)

[@almannone]

When pressing the Mono button on the transmitter it doesn't do anything. No Safety icon nor stereo option. And I just updated the firmware, still nothing. Ideas?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi Alex, I'm sorry I don't understand the question fully as the transmitter does not have a mono button - check out this new DJI Mic user guide video that takes you through everything: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTGeoRujrCLbtU

[@almannone]

@@JasonRobertsVideo Sorry, I meant receiver. In the menu of the receiver the mono button takes you to the next menu w/mono button and tx1/tx2 L/R buttons. But none of these buttons do anything. In other words I can't select stereo or 'safety mode' nor can I choose which mic is L/R.

[@almannone]

Ok, I just read that IOS devices don't support Stereo mode. What I'm really interested in is the Safety Mode. Why does pressing the Mono button NOT give me that option?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi Alex - mono with safety is based on a stereo signal that's probably why it doesn't work on iPhone.

[@almannone]

@@JasonRobertsVideo Solved the issue. It seems that ISO devices don't support Stereo or Mono Safety. And you have to set the transmitter volume to say -6 for safety and receiver volume to say +6 AND then hit record on both the IOS device and the transmitter. This will replicate the mono safety feature non-IOS devices get. Then import the video and the track off the transmitter and sync.

[@slogue77]

Cheers mate...

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

You're welcome :) :):

[@JayCarver]

Is there a way to turn off the red and green lights on the transmitters?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

You can change the brightness with the latest update but not sure if the go all the way off - might have to get a bit of black tape over the top maybe?

[@JayCarver]

@@JasonRobertsVideo thanks yea I noticed that. Might have to take your advice and keep some black tape in case. It's easy to see the lights through a some white shirts.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Newer firmware updates allow you to dim/turn off LEDs on transmitters.

[@hanafihanazli9994]

I have problem i cant change audio record mode, it stay on mono only. Please help me bro pleaseeee😭

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

If you are using with an iPhone it only supports mono.

[@hanafihanazli9994]

@@JasonRobertsVideo thankyou so much bro

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

You're welcome :) :)

[@markthomas8018]

update failed for 10th time. It arrived today, is it because it is already up to date?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Hi Mark - you can check the current firmware versions of the transmitters and receivers by going into the settings on the receiver.

[@chefmjid]

The voice cut or like signal lost not nice at all

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Sorry to hear that - did you go out of wireless range and did you use the internal backup recording?

[@chefmjid]

@Jason Roberts Video to be honest I didn't because I was thinking to return it back that's why

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Maybe try working through this vid - it's an updated guide - also check you have latest firmware maybe - kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTGeoRujrCLbtU

[@LennyWu]

When I got my DJI Mic, one of the transmitters got bricked when updating the firmware. Had to get a replacement via Amazon. I got my replacement and decided to not update it. I am waiting until they release a new one. I notice some people have experienced it.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Sorry to hear that Lenny :( I did both of mine with no problems - glad you got a replacement though :)

[@boostedbilly7308]

Oh what if you don’t have a computer all I have is iPads

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Don't know - sorry - you need a way to copy a file via usb - can you do that on an ipad?

[@jeffrey3205]

I'd love them to take away the 30min cutting of the audio. If I put this into a bride when she's dressing I'm not getting it back to the reception. That's alot of 30min audios I have to connect

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

That would be nice
