[@Modpax]

I have a good workflow change for you. DO NOT detach the audio. when you do, you can get them out of sync with the video. just expand the audio. when you set to dual mono, it will separate the tracks, then expand in the timeline and you can control them independently the same way that you are with them detached, but, when you collapse them, they close up and are still locked in sync. you can always go in and tweak more, etc.

[@AC-Ninja]

Yo GREAT tip! I will be using this for sure. Is that only in final cut? Is this what you use if you don't mind me asking. I have been using Capcut Pro

[@Modpax]

Yes I use FCPx, have not tried CapCut, and my workflow is probably FCPx only

[@Modpax]

@@oppenheimer11 I will make you a FCP file to see what I do with my mics. I may not be able to get to it today, but I will record something in FCP with audio expansion showing what I mean.

[@Modpax]

@@oppenheimer11 this was a workflow way in FCP. how to view audio tracks without being destructive and able to edit quicker and easier. it doesn’t apply to resolve or PP..

[@ezriding]

Excellent breakdown. My wife and I started our channel at the very end of 2022, and pretty quickly moved to the DJI Mic/Action 3 combo - We ride 2 up, so the dual mic setup is great. Wind noise is still an issue in her helmet at freeway speeds, but we are experimenting with ways to reduce that. One thing I will add is that if you are using the usb-c connector straight to the Action 3 mounted on your helmet, wind buffeting may eventually cause that connection to have issues, with the weight of the mic receiver hanging off it and the vibrations giving it a ride. We started dropping some audio on our most recent recordings, and it looks like it is this connection. We just changed it up to a short usb-c cable with the mic velcro'd to the top of the action 3, and it cleared up.

[@gijohnson5430]

Hey, I followed your advice and I did the same thing: velcro'd the transmitter at the top of the action cam and connected with a short usb-c cable. The downsize is that once the action cam is on, it's charging the transmitter. So the battery of the action cam goes down much quicker. Did you encounter the same problem?

[@ezriding]

@@gijohnson5430 That is interesting - I don't think I have noticed it, but it is certainly possible. I will have to check that!

[@kalheer]

I just bought this setup after watching this video.. used the same -9db and -12db settings on the mic’s and recorded them standalone with one under the seat on my motorbike and one plugged into a helmet mic..

[@Goyogawa]

how do you connect the insta 360 to the receiver? or you just record internally?

[@Alex_Edits85]

I’m trying to figure this out cause when I connect to the insya360 it disconnect to the receiver

[@chrisrock340]

Great video! I’ve had these for a while, but haven’t tried them on the bike. One thought, if you’re going to use one mic for you and one for your riding partner, using the internal recording capability would eliminate the transmitter range issue.

[@AC-Ninja]

Good point

[@SrinivasGanesh]

This is excellent Rob!! 😍😎 thank you so much for this! I’ve been eyeing DJI mic for a while now. This is really helpful!

[@MotoFeelz]

Glad to hear it! 🙏😊

[@janpekarik5639]

Maybe somebody should say something about that if u r connected via Bluetooth u ll get shit sound.. I didnt find one setting which is working.. Except recording straight in transmiter and then sync it in after.. My settings r -12db everywhere plus on insta 360 -16 or -18 if I am right.. tried put it straight above the pipes terrible sound.. to my bag.. Still terible, to the insta 360 soft cover and to the bag and its ok but still not clean.. so tell me.. What in the hell I am doing wrong?? I have Triumph bonneville t120, remus pipes w/o db killers but cat is still on.. And hot terrible sound out of dji mic.. Help me pls

[@themotorguy]

Great video Rob. Your editing skills are on point. Such an engaging edit. I don’t know that your video description gives your video what it deserves. That wasn’t just for Motovloggers. That video was a great explanation for anyone that would be interested in the DJI mics, not just MotoVlogging. Seems you might miss some clicks from people that are keen on double bass ;) Maybe you should retitle to DJI MICs not just for MotoVlogging Keep up the great work.

[@MotoFeelz]

Thanks so much mate! They’re pretty versatile huh 🙏

[@aussiedrifteradventures]

Thank you Rob. Can you share your opinion on if I need to have DJI Mic2 or will DJI Mic be enough for motovlogging?

[@EchosYT]

Thank you for this video! Used your link to get one. Just ordered a insta 360 and really wanted audio and you explained everything perfectly. Really helped me to decide to go with this mic solely for the review being so niche and not just a wide range of uses and specs

[@nikhilpadhiar2273]

This is great! I have a purple panda mic on my GoPro and theres so much crackling when riding over 35mph (i think due to windnoise). The DJI doesnt seem to have that problem and so much flexibility over sound control.

[@8OneOfTheNobodies8]

Next upgrade for me are a dji action 3 camera with dji mic, not going back to gopro that´s for sure!

[@Texas2Tires]

You have a great mix of videos. I've had an insta360 x3 for a while now and just use a lav mic hooked directly into the Insta and run the wire tapped down to my insta stick then into my helmet. This setup works fine. However, if it is windy or I'm going over 50 mph my helmet gets loud. I have a Shoei Neotec 2, which is an awesome helmet, but it is modular so guessing those seams let more wind in than a full face "non-modular". This week I purchased DJI Mic 2 hoping to go wireless. However, everything I've tried thus far sounds like garbage. I tried using bluetooth direct to the insta and that worked fine below 20 mph, but any faster....yup garbage. I then used the two mics independently one in the helmet and one in my pannier above the pipe. That also ended up being garbage. Today I tried using the receiver and ran it into my iPhone syncing the two audio transmitters in post to the insta video. That also was garbage. The one thing I haven't tried yet is messing with the gain. My next try will be to lower the gain to see if that helps. Any suggestions? I also do interviews with people, so even if I can't figure out how best to use the dji mic 2 for motovlogging, I'll be using it during my interviews. In advance, thank you for any suggestions. My KZbin channel is "Texas2Tires"

[@Braapncamp]

You are the king! Very educational and comprehensive. Appreciate all this work you do for the family 🙌

[@clubeinvestvida]

congratulations for the video, great review, I was just curious how you connected the microphone or transmitter to the insta360 x3 and also how you managed to put the audio in the helmet...

[@maraudermitchelli]

I have your setup but I can’t separate the two mics in Final Cut. I think the camera is combing the audio what are the settings on your camera? Please help 😊

[@MarioAndrade83]

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to edit Audio. As a person that can only hear from one side, aka mono, if I use headphones it's impossible to know one side is voice and the other in environment :( I can only wonder how great it must be to have 2 audio channels putting specific sound for left and right.

[@MrShrimpy72]

Do you worry about it coming off in the rough??? It’s only held on by the USB yeah? My question more relates to when the OA is on your helmet and it’s plugged in.

[@JBOutside1]

Another great one Rob. Do you find those levels a bit too low for the mics? I've tried a few different settings and settled on a bit higher. I was surprised how low you set yours. Second question: your double ball mount for the Insta360 looks metal. It also doesn't look like the Moto one from them. Maybe the Australian kit looks different.

[@MotoFeelz]

It seems they updated their kit recently so maybe it’s that? This newer one is definitely better. It’s a little low but I’d rather that than clipping. I always EQ and bump up the volume later

[@andronuss]

Yep bank account getting a workout and loving it lol

[@MortisAndSports-k1f]

Hi, nice video! thank you for explaining so much, I have a question though: do you prefer connecting the transmitter directly to the insta/camera or it's better with the receiver? I'm trying to grab the pipes during trackdays, seems having the transmitter connected directly to the camera would be easier to use, but audio might be better with the receiver? would any of it make any difference though for just capturing the exhausts during 20mn sessions? Thanks again for the great content. Been enjoying it a lot.

[@shotbyjaydubbs]

I have the DJI MIC’s as well. I’m a complete novice, but they’re awesome! Great video mate 👍🏼

[@Sauce_Ricky]

Awesome review. Let’s see a quick video or insta reel of the transmitter capturing engine noise while on the expressway 🤙

[@frontviewmotorcycle]

With app you using to make video on your com ? i mean you can split your audio

[@cam_machi]

ok, so you plug your receiver into the insta360 directly. Is it possible to record from both mics separately but also wirelessly without compromising the water proofness of the camera?

[@weridetwoadventures]

Great Video Rob…Thx a lot! ❤ Just a quick question…if you record both your voice and your pipes do you set your receiver to Mono or Stereo? Thx man

[@WestOzMT]

Great video I was taking notes on your settings. Would you be able to add your setting information to the description please, thanks again.

[@Bamhour]

Great video! Question, how do you mount the dji receiver to the insta 360?

[@raisingcane225]

What mount are you using to attach the DJI mic transmitter to the Insta 360? Can you provide a link?

[@Ghumakkadzaade]

Hi Sir, Can we connect both transmitter DJI mic 2 without receiver with Insta 360 X3 ? Me and wife doing Moto vlog and need a solution to record both voice.

[@spastikps4916]

I keep getting a hollow sound when recording exhaust. Receiver gain at -12db, transmitter at -6db. I’ve tried placing the transmitter in my pants pocket, on my rear fender and in a rear fender bag, and in my jacket pocket. From a stop, I’ll take off from a light and the audio sounds amazing. Great sound from the pipes. Then, as I gain speed It gets distorted and muffled.

[@hypermotardking]

Sounds like the perfect setup i need for my vlogging on my gopro 11 👍🏻👍🏻

[@roundingrubber]

Top stuff again! Do the discount codes work when purchasing outside of Australia?

[@MotoShamann]

Great video. So I got the Mic 2 2x1 with charging case, and I have an Insta360 X4. I've tried the setup on my GoPro10 Black, but I want to get the adapters to use it on my 360. My question is, how safe do you feel with this gear attached to the Insta360 going 80 down the road? Thanks in advance,

[@Grizzlybeard]

Do you think it's worth selling my insta360 one rs and buying the DJI Osmo action 3? I've been thinking about it for a while.

[@iandecent]

Thank you for saying "and by transmitters I mean microphone". I guess most reviewers and ppl that write product descriptions on store pages think all of their prospective customers know that.

[@nataontheroad]

ABSOLUTELY LOVED your video!! thank you so much. Will share it with my community (IG) right now!

[@dusty.toby_]

Ho mate, I’m recording via bluetooth with Acepro and Dji mic 2. -12DB wrapped in microfiber and buff but the sound is not even close to usable. Distorsion, and awful sound, tried to put it everywhere, pocket jeans, jacket, bag, rucksack, same bad results. I dont really know whats wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RamblinManMoto]

4:34 How did you mount it inside your helmet? Clip it to something? Use magnetic tape? Other?

[@medinamotorcyclesofficial]

Great video. I just tried setting up this audio on -12 gain. In a fanny pack. With the dead cat and another dead cat over top. In a snug compartment of the fanny pack. It was facing the exhaust and was out of the way of wind. And it still came out bad. My settings just had the low cut filter off. Any tips?

[@mechanizer007]

Thanks for the review video. Did it ever get dropped due to clumsiness? As it is tiny in size, so was concerned if it would withstand 3-4 feet of accidental drop.

[@motochickryder]

Great video! Would love to see how you mount the microphone inside your helmet. Do you find the microphone touches your mouth or face while riding?

[@MotorDanko]

do you record with audio with the microphone just into the backpack? i'm strugling to get good audio from the backpack...

[@LuisS1k_]

Have you tried giving the mic to Nother buddy like the guy your riding with that both of you have mics. Does the signal reach from the other rider?

[@MightyMouzMoto]

Great video! Do you have a detail video of how u mount the mic in your helmet and other location setups? Thank you so much!

[@leoalva5193]

Do you connect those to insta360 directly while filming? I get the impression that you don't, I don't know if I'm wrong, but it seems to me you add audio on your computer after filming.

[@enduro_j]

So while the receiver is plugged into my camera. Does the audio from the receiver/mic go to my camera’s video? Or am I transferring an audio file from the receiver to my pc, as a separate mp3 only file?

[@rwdconnor]

Question for ya! Do you have the WIFI setting (ON) for the GoPro? I have been having so so so many audio issues with 3 different LAV mics. I purchased the DJI mic yesterday and im hoping I will be able to retain the WIFI feature for dialing in my shot (aiming the camera on my helmet). I found that sometimes, the WIFI setting will cause a frequency picked up by the cheaper LAV mics.

[@TomJoeSHOW]

these videos are awesome mate keep them coming loving the information. I've been on the fence for ages about the DJI mic because I already own the OG Rode Go think ill be trading that in for one of these.

[@MotoFeelz]

I do a comparison between them.. but DJI are the winner for sure

[@Ebenezum13]

The problem is, I am working with this, and DJI mic 2 will never record such a good audio of your exhaust as some ZOOM recorders ... I would like to see some real comparison

[@FuelledByMuffins]

Great vid! Will this pair with a gopro hero 10 too? Thanks!

[@Swarm1968]

Hey Rob great videos thanks for sharing ! I’m up on the NSW / VIC border have all the Lone Rider kit as well including the Moto tent …I’ve heard the Moto tents can be linked together to make some kind of funky super tent. Do a lot of adventure camping on my GSA some beautiful places up here on the border whether it’s the Murray or the High Country. If your up this way would be great to share a camping adventure together..maybe hook those Moto tents up together . Sweet vids mate - cheers !

[@AliiaZBeatz]

Would you recommend the Zoom H5 or the DJI Mic for Exhaust sound quality ?

[@atarvathornhill]

Just picked one up after watching your video, Great work I enjoy watching your content. Thank you

[@karnal1710]

Am using the dji wireless microphone there just great can you do a video with the insta x3 along with the dji wireless microphone full setup

[@Texas2Tires]

Did you use the noise cancellation on the DJI mics?

[@czechyalater_]

Great Vid bro! I just got mine and look forward to using it for my moto vlogs.

[@Madlife77]

Hey! Great Video! Just a question, where did you get the mount for the X3 to actually mount the reciever nearby? (not meaning the mic adapter) Thanks a lot :)

[@RobMelancholic]

Second that question! 😊

[@Jaykav99]

Madlife do you have a 3d printer by any chance, I duplicated a design i found online that snugs the receiver inline with the stitch area and keeps it all hidden.

[@zchyt]

So I had the GoPro hero 8 w/ media mod. Had wiring set up so it captures my mic plus my audio from my Bluetooth device so I can capture coms with my friends. Idk what happened with the media mod but it stopped taking the audio input . If I keep the same wiring setup I have and use this DJI will it capture the mic plus the Bluetooth audio too ?

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

apparently with the latest software update you don't need to use the DJI receiver, the camera will see the mics without it.

[@aleks_the_Great13]

Thanks for sharing your setup and for the great video... As always informative and entertaining... You have a new subscriber 😁... I bought mine and the action 3 want to use them in my MK INDY Kit car, mainly to record engine noise and maybe some vlogging if I am brave enough 😅... I did find the connection between the transmitter and the camera a bit flimsy so I have bought a small rig cage and attach it on the top with a boya connector, I am wondering if you have a better solution or are you happy to mount it on the camera on the side?

[@MotoFeelz]

That’s a great idea! I might look into something like that. I’ve just been adding a few rubber bands around for extra security haha

[@casualridingtv]

I always love how you make review. Very informative for sure! What about an alternative wireless mic for X3?

[@MotoFeelz]

I’ll look into this further and make a vid on my findings

[@casualridingtv]

@@MotoFeelz awesome! Thank u! 🙏

I’m trying to connect the mic 2 to the insta360 it sounds distorted the receiver is on but when I connect the mic to the insta360 it disconnect to the receiver is there a way of connecting both ?

[@shuttersandspeed]

Hi there how did you get this stereo thing to work with your insta360 camera. I got it to work with my DJI Osmo action 3 but not my insta 360 one rs

[@supercoco42]

Is it posible to plug the receiver directly to the usb-c port on the insta 360? Or I have to buy the 360 adapter obligatory ?

[@kevindiaz7584]

Great video! I bought the DJI Mic. I'm wondering what lavalier and windjammer do you with the transmitters? And why not use the receiver to record directly to the camera?

[@ManBikeSwag]

Does the Receiver not rattle loose from the camera? How have you secured it?

[@WheelsAndWags]

I don't understand how you resync the audio to your video file later and how you're able to select a piece of audio that's seemingly already clipped to length for that video file in the timeline

[@scrappy4326]

Is it better to use stereo if you want to record both voice and the exhaust sounds?

[@jayvee1901]

Great video! I want to use the Mic with my gopro thats attached on the front of the helmet. To have both the in helmet and exhaust audio would I need to turn them on manually if i dont want to put the reciever on the gopro to avoid having so much things on the front of the helmet. Thanks for your help!

Just bought dii to use whilst motorbike vlogging i plug a rode lab II into one of the tx and then connect the RX to my go pro 11 med mod via the supplied cable it all wks BUT !!!!!!! i there any way you can stop the std mic on the TX from picking up audio when the LAV mic is plugged into it? Its seems mad that it picks up audio from both th std mic an sth elav mic at same time but it does? Therefore all i get is wind noise as the std rx is attached to y m/c helmet an dthelav mic is inside my helmet but plug into the std tx unit.. Thanks D

[@deepakkantgir]

How do the Hollyland Lark M1s compare with the DJI in terms of sound quality for a motovlogging setup?
