My ISSUE with the DJI Mic... And How I Fixed It

I've been using the DJI Mic for a few months now and, on the whole, i'm really happy with it. I decided to buy it after watching countless reviews and seeing other creators starting to adopt them as their audio recording device of choice.
After a few months of use, however, i've found a glitch that's very small but VERY annoying.
In today's video I share the issue I encountered in the hope that it raises awareness to fellow users and provides a bit of a workaround

A bit of a different video this week guys but I hope some of you guys may find it helpful! Normal service will resume next week 📸🙏🏻

dude you can't make viewers wait for 4 minutes before you give them what they came for. That is going to hurt you audience retention.

[@DokoGaTV]

Yup, experience this all the time with these mics. I love these things but for that one glitch spot, I end up reverting to the audio captured from the receiver to the cam, which is normally no where near as ideal as the internal recording one. Thank you SO much for this fix!

[@kalumthedon]

Thanks for this, am happy with my kit, not experienced it yet but its good to be informed.

I have this issue. Very frustrating to have the audio un-sync I'm glad that it happened to me with a practise run, and I'll format my cards and cross all fingers that this doesn't happen when I'm recording the real interview.

As a software engineer with some embedded experience, my guess about what’s happening here has to do with file size constraints - it’s possible that the sync issue happens when a new file or segment of the file is created internally on the mic recorder. Another way to test this might be to disable internal recording entirely to see if that helps at all. I’ve got a DJI Mic 2 that’s getting bad interference using a DPA 4097 micro shotgun connected to it recording onto the Osmo Pocket 3. Hopefully it’s not my cheap(er) YPA microdot adapter - the official DPA 3.5mm to microdot is over $100, but if that is indeed the cause of this digital-sounding static noise I guess it is what it is. I’m guessing it’s not though given how it works fine on other devices and directly into the OP3 with a Saramonic SR-C2003 USB-C adapter, which sadly DOES NOT work for time code sync with a Tentacle Sync E, nor does the C2006, and the C2001 is sold out everywhere right now. Hopefully DJI releases a USB-C adapter that works with plug-in-power mics AND timecode jam sync.

and how does this manifest itself if you disable the recording in the buttonhole?)

[@backinfx]

I have done two shoots back to back where this has happened. I am going to try and format it and hope this helps. Thanks for the tip!. Maybe they will release an update soon.

[@Charlotte.Miller]

The latest firmware for the DJI Mic has resolved this issue. You might want to consider updating it.

[@mbey1230]

where is it? I check and the latest firmware is 2023 of January

[@Tinoquito]

OMG friend, I just bought this yesterday but has not shipped. Am I on time to regret about this and cancel the order or is it worth it? By the way, nice content, really great. It matches my interests. It would be amazing we can connect in any way! Take care!

[@roycowper]

Have you updated the mics to the most recent firmware? Jan 2023 - v02.00.72.87

[@amjathtalks]

how to update ??

[@mbey1230]

it still doesn't work

[@VitaminDelicious]

My issue with this dji mic is how awful it sounds. Can you not hear how muffled your voice sounds in this video? Maybe I'm super sensitive to mics, but I bought this mic and I cannot stand it. I'm used to using podcast style mics so that's probably why

[@MarS-dc2qx]

The dji mic 2 is out and much better

[@FollowMister]

How do you get the mic record in stereo on the iPhone 14 pro?

[@karensurgery3845]

Just to confirm, does this audio "drift" issue happen both internally and when recording directly into the camera?

[@amjathtalks]

no happpens oly in internal recording for me

[@CHRISJRDN]

I have the same issue! It’s super annoying realizing that the audio doesn’t match up in post.

[@sufyanabdulhadi1496]

Same problem. Very annoying

[@user-lh6hi8ud6r]

I’m having a glitch when recording in the internal memory of these mics. I didn’t have this issue before.

[@uklivestreaming8748]

Get on with it! 3 minutes in and you still haven’t said what the issue is.

[@darkonovevski3113]

this days youtubers will sell you faulty products! This must stop and DJI need to get the money back to the customers. You cant work with the glitch and the out of sync audio, you just can't, what's wrong with you ppl!

[@darkonovevski3113]

you are recording your self so is not problem with you and your glitch but what happens when you got paid and need to record a client? you will tell the client: "hey is a glitch which is not a big problem, don't worry i am happy with DJI🤣

[@lukerobinson1668]

Jesus dude get to the point
