DJI Wireless Microphone Long Term Review - 7 Reasons Why I Switched

DJI Mic (USA) amzn.to/3lTGGF2
DJI Mic (CAN) amzn.to/3z8AK2O
In this long-term review of the DJI Wireless Mic, I am going over 7 reasons why I sold my Rode Wireless Go 2 and switched to the DJI Microphone full-time. If you are doing an audio comparison of the DJI Wireless Mic compared to the Rode Wireless Go 2 I would have to say they are pretty well on par with each other. Both sound great. But the DJI Has some specific features that I found very appealing and made my workflow a little easier.

[@dyna-drone1952]

Hi Shawn, Yep I totally agree with what you’re saying it’s very convenient I like the way the thing works and just being able to packet and it’s all in one package

[@albrunelle2022]

I have one and it's awesome to use, no more cables and a nice case that holds everything as well as charing on the go.

[@RonaldBrown59]

i agree with everything you said in the video. The DJI Mic is now my goto to record audio anywhere outside the office. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras]

Nice work Shawn. I sold my wireless kit too after I bought the DJI wireless and never looked back! Love the DJI wireless mic!

[@leedonehower3112]

Shaun: just a quick comment to inform you of the positive, and perhaps unexpected, impact your videos are having around the world. I watched this video last night and thought this was not a product I could use right now but perhaps would come in handy in the future as I expand my own KZbin channel. Then I thought of my cousin’s husband who is a talkshow and podcast host on Public Radio in Grand Forks, North Dakota and sent him a link to your video. This morning he sent me this reply: “You have solved a MAJOR problem for me, with this. I’m ordering it today. Thank you! I have a new intern and she is going to be doing some person-on-the-street TikTok content, but my wireless mics are incompatible with iPhone (and I can’t find one of the transmitters). This will be easy for her to use and to keep track of, and full expandable for me. You’re a life saver. Thanks, Lee!” So, in this case: out of Ontario to California to North Dakota. Love you’re channel!

[@cuve_ae]

Shawn baby I have mine coming in tomorrow, nothing better than looking up reviews while I wait and seeing you have already covered it!

[@kevincameron8437]

Great wrap up about this system and thanks for sharing.

[@PorlockCameraman44]

Hi Shawn, great explanatory video - as usual - thank you, has really helped me to make up my mind!!!

[@markexploringnewstuff]

I switched too for the same reasons. Love the DJI wireless.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

To put it succinctly, the DJI wireless mic has solved all of my audio problems. It's a fantastic system!

[@JauneMacReady]

Great little mic. It's a perfect package. I don't use mine enough!

[@j4nv]

3:03 many KZbinrs make comparison videos Mac vs iPad for pro work, but few (none?) are going iPad only, let alone for client work. But you do. That’s amazing Shaun! Cheers

[@AirPhotography]

I made the switch over 2 years ago and it has been the best thing. Took a bit to fine-tune my workflow dealing with large amounts of data but I am very happy with it

[@jamesss1953]

Thank you for this, I've been using the Saramonic system with my iPhone, but also switched from GoPro to action 4. Saramonic not great with action 4.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good long term review Shawn

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Thx Shawn. I still want these.. grrrrr. Thx bud Mikey

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Hi. Good video. I notice you are using LumaFusion on iPad. Me too. I have a question. If you record from the two mics in stereo and then upload the footage to LF you have two channels (L+R). Is there an easy way to edit the two feeds/channels so that each channel then plays in each ear/side not just left or right? Thank you.

[@JoshConnectMedia]

It’s just truly perfecto!!! Got one

[@thomassanio8745]

Nice review. A couple questions. Is it compatible with a Go Pro Hero 9 Black? Also a Nikon D850? Does this device record within the transmitter or does the transmitter just send the audio into the video recording device? Or both, meaning the transmitter itself records too? Thanks. Tom

[@CampervanTales]

Hi. Do you know whether the receiver will plug directly in to the DJI Osmo Action original camera or only the 2 and 3? Thanks.

[@66cotter]

Shawn, I video local concerts as a hobby with my Samsung S22 Ultra. Will using these work and get better audio quality? Once connected, and hit record on the phone, does the audio automatically record to whatever I'm video taping? I'm just starting to watch KZbin videos about this set up. Thank you in advance.

[@sugarcastlecakesncrafts8411]

Can you do a comparison video for DJI and Fulaim X5 wireless microphone set?

[@the_thomss]

Amazing scenery and great footage! I subscribed to see more Videos made by you. Dji Mini 2 is an awesome little drone. I own one myself too and create cinematic Videos. Keep it up bro! 👌🏽

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you, but I think you commented on the wrong video. No footage in this video. 😅

[@michaelanthonyvideos]

I really need to get one.

[@BryanTorok]

Are the microphones at all directional or just omnidirectional? Can you set the mic audio levels independently? I could see a situation where you have one on person a bit further from their mouth or the speak more softly and another on someone who speaks loudly

[@mateohernandez7439]

Great video! Quick question, if you record with both mics at the same time(ex: using for interview), is this capable of having the files record separately or is it just one file?

[@thenexthobby]

You may have already found your answer, but if you didn't, the answer is yes, they record as 2 independent files.

[@raczyk]

Which lava mic do you recommend with the dji?

[@mitchellglick8737]

@Air Photography Great video! I bought the Rode Wireless 2 a few months ago and it’s fine, but there are so many advantages to the DJI. My only concern is using a lab mic with the DJI. I heard that many mics cause buzzing interference. The Rode Lav Go mic works great with my setup now, but I don’t think that will work with the DJI.

[@theBearJewel]

Take a look at the Shure MVL. About $70. There is a vid on YT that tested several, and the Shure worked best.

[@mitchellglick8737]

@@theBearJewel Many thanks for the advice! Be well.

[@theBearJewel]

@@mitchellglick8737 😃

[@andre1987eph]

Nice kit. 👍

[@olewoodoutdoors]

Love mine.

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

I am trying to find a PnP Type C wireless interface for the Feyiu Pocket 2S. Has anyone interfaced the DJI Type C output with the Feyiu Pocket 2S? I am configuring a low-key production system and the DJI microphone would be perfect if it can be connected using the Type C connector and is electrically compatible. My existing audio gear is much larger traditional broadcast gear and I want to get much smaller and lower--key.

[@markkramer2908]

I just received mine yesterday and I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with it. I use a GoPro for recording and I was going to order the Media Mod but it is out of stock at the moment. (Just my luck). Thanks for your input.

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks for sharing

[@raczyk]

Does he dji charging pack only charge the batteries to 85% to safe on batery lifespan?

[@sandyande]

I have both systems but I think the rode sounds slightly better than the Dji but, agree,not as convenient. All we need now is 32bit float

[@remitremblay2091]

Great video again. Now, for a starter person like me, with a DJI MiniPro 3 RC...if I want to record while filming...is there anything else out there that would work? Or should I simply go all out and spend the $ to a DJI microphone like this one...I am NOT a tech person, but I can learn...but may not have the patience to...and may have the funds for the DJI microphone...worth it? in the long run? Thanks for the great teaching you are filming! Remi (Quebec)

[@AirPhotography]

You can purchase a USB-C lav mic. I do believe that will work as well. You could always try it and then return it. If it doesn’t work for you. the only thing with plugging a Lavalier directly in there’s no way to adjust the gain if it’s too low to high.

[@LouisLuzuka]

😮I’m still debating whether or not to get this 😅😊❤

[@djxcel23]

Only if the receiver was a smaller. Im scared that weight will become a issue

[@FlyFishingChronicles]

Can I plug in a Powerbank/external battery to the receiver during filming to enhance the running time? And switch the receiver on/off as I turn my Gopro on/off? And last but not least how long does it take to recharge the mics and receiver? Thanks a lot! Thumbs up ;)

[@AirPhotography]

yes, I believe you can. I never timed the recharging time. But it's never been an issue. I can easily get threw a whole day with plenty of power and they just recharge when i put them away.

[@FlyFishingChronicles]

@@AirPhotography Thanks for your fast reply. I really appreciate it! But can I film and charge the receiver with an external battery at the same time so it will never run out of energy? I´m a fisherman and I never know when the action will happen. So I need it running 10 to 12 hours straight. Thanks again!

[@DonJoyce]

Sold!

[@mrrandom2501]

What program do you use to edit you videos. Also how to store you footage on ipad

[@AirPhotography]

I use lumafusion to edit all my videos. I store all my footage on SSDs. I have 2 4tb Sandisks and they work great for archives and as working drives. In addition, i do have the 2tb version of the iPad Pro

[@edittide9842]

Honestly DJI customer services know nothing about their own devices. They told me specifically that the DJI mic’s audio is only importable to PCs and that iPhones or iPads are not capable of of doing this. Yet here is someone who does exactly that. I went down an alternative route so DJI’s CS lost a sale due to their ignorance

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Like any product customer service is farmed out. Don't expect anything but mediocre service.

[@funkyfreshfarm]

Can you plug it in to a GoPro directly or do you have to use the media mod?

[@AirPhotography]

You still need the media mod or the microphone adapter with GoPro but not the DJI Action 2 or 3

[@lifeofdus]

The cable that charges the case, can it be stored inside the case itself when not in use?

[@AirPhotography]

unfortunately no it can not

[@ericbechler9903]

Nice 😃

[@DonovanMediaCenter]

I have been enjoying the DJI system, and our Rode wireless Go II hasn’t been charged in months…the Rode has good sound, but it just isn’t as good of a workflow.

[@mechanizer007]

How tough you find the DJI mic? Did it ever fall while clipping on the shirt?

[@AirPhotography]

It is never fallen after being mounted, even when using just the magnet. But my clumsiness has dropped the transmitter a few times and it’s never been damaged

[@mechanizer007]

@@AirPhotographyThanks for the reply; I was more concerned about it accidentally falling as it is small.

[@mechanizer007]

@@AirPhotography Thanks. How tough you find removing the adapters from the receiver? Sometimes, I feel I am putting too much force on the receiver when holding it to remove the adapter. Was it normal for you also during the initial days?

[@Buildingscienceacademy]

Bro I have these and didn’t even know you could use them standalone. That’s what I get for not reading the manual lol. You just changed my whole workflow! Thanks.

[@AirPhotography]

Yeah, it is a great feature. Quite often I am using them just to record the audio source and then syncing later while editing.

[@AlVlogs1603]

Does this work ok with the DJI osmo 6 gimbal or does it effect the gimbal balance

[@AirPhotography]

it works perfectly

[@AlVlogs1603]

@@AirPhotography thanks for replying

[@victorlin4645]

Thank you for this! The Rode shortcomings, especially the need to have an actual computer to change some settings, is just mind-numbingly stupid to me. Hard pass. DJI FTW.

[@ddegn]

I'm probably going to get the DJI mic set myself. I just hate how DJI makes you activate everything they sell. I couldn't use my DJI action camera until I activated it. DJI stuff is just so well made, I can't bring myself to boycott them. Dang it DJI, take some more of my money.

[@AtortAerials]

I'm kind of sick of my Wireless Go II's good points.

[@itsaprilespi]

SOLD!!

[@tommyli8726]

they are all over price

[@vonheise]

I like all the reasons, and may order one if I can find a whole tutorial on how to actually use it with a Go Pro, the DJI RC Pro, etc. I have never used a wireless microphone but would like to get whatever is easiest to use. I do know that I need an extra adapter to use a wireless mic. with the Go Pro.
