DJI MIC 2 Wireless Microphone | Now with 32-Bit Float & Bluetooth Pairing!

[@RaidOwl]

My wife and I were at CES and we walked by you and she goes "Hey that was your camera guy on KZbin" lol. Oh and if you want to collab on a dope new storage server for all your footage let me know ;)

[@fkingnobody]

Did you meet and talk to him ??

[@RaidOwl]

@@fkingnobodynah I chickened out

[@pilotboy]

@@RaidOwl we need a collab coz i love both yall channels

[@JiajuChen]

Wasn’t expecting such fair comparison right at release! You definitely presented both their strength and weaknesses pretty well.

[@okiwangko]

Big win for DJI for finally releasing their Mic 2. Really iterating on what made the original DJI Mic great. Just wish that you could keep all the accessories in one case rather than have a split soft case to store them.

[@GaryStockton]

I love that the Mic 2 from the Pocket 3 automates the on-mic recording. That’s super slick.

[@benstrailyphotography]

Can we all just take a minute to recognize how great Gene is at consistently making high quality videos with unique ways of testing things all while getting different opinions and still incorporating everyone's personality. Truly one of a kind.

[@DarkTrapStudio]

@@markthomas8018 is it bad to make money ?

[@CHEFPKR]

It's here! The Osmo Pocket 3 is a game changer for us and having the ability to now add a second mic without a receiver is so, so good.

[@mb-watches]

Good to see how Dji is improving their mics. I did sell my Rode ones, got twice issues with the power on / off button, so they were not too reliable for my needs. What i would like to see is a set up with 4 mics. This would be a dream coming true. Don’t understand why Rode and DJI do not come out with that. Currently have to use Fulaim for bigger talks / Podcasts. Great review as usual, cheers from Germany.

[@judnichols]

Do their wireless mics do sets of four?

[@mb-watches]

@@judnichols theoretically you can get to sets and use the other two with internal recording. But I also would like to have all in one. Right now I use a set from Fulaim which does the job but lack additional recording, and also the transmitters are huge.

[@seanp2k617]

yea it’d be dope if they could jam sync too. Right now the Tentacle Track-E can do it and sync with the BM Camera app but I’m hopeful for the Deity stereo recorder with phantom power to run booms and for stealth binaural setups.

[@Gundampilot416]

@@mb-watchesI thought it was possible by connecting two receivers with a splitter to a camera. But I'm assuming that means you can't manipulate the 4 audio tracks independently, but rather, as two pairs

[@mb-watches]

@@Gundampilot416 Problem there is that you have to deal also with two receivers, it could be a solution but best still would be, having really one receiver for 4 mics.

[@dag221]

Sounds better with noise cancelling off. The timber of your voice does change and it sounds better and more realistic with the ambient background noise. I can situations when it would be helpful though.

[@GrantSR]

4:50 - I would rather remove the noise in post, using Davinci Resolve Studio's neural noise reduction feature. That way, I can dial back the noise reduction as necessary. I haven't tried, but I bet you can even set keyframes to vary the noise reduction as necessary throughout a clip. Just like with the photographs: Never do anything that will TAKE AWAY information about what was REALLY there, in camera. Leave all that for post, so you can adjust the effect as necessary.

[@unn4medfeel1ng]

2:10 the wind protection goes flying

[@tomzphone]

that's what I needed today. every single one of my youtube subs is reviewing the DJI MIC 2 this morning. LOL

[@aranthos]

Review embargo is off as it’s officially released, every single review is paid.

[@NULL_PLAYER0]

Hi gene! Thanks for getting me into camera gear. I really appreciate the quality of your videos.

[@MRKELme]

I was just saying that I miss Gene's videos and watched a couple from the vlog channel. then I switch to my fyp and then boom. New Potato Jet video.

[@denniemullete]

love see frank ... he is a friend that always love new stuff but still use the old one if not broken

[@edittide9842]

Excellent content! I was facinated by the section on synchronisation drift towards the end. Very interesting and informative!

[@schlenbea]

Love the smaller size of the DJI, but sound quality and the ability to keep your wind filters connected in the case (not to mention download on-mic audio when in the case) still make the rode pro the best choice. DJI's audio is too....tinny? IDK it's just not as robust.

[@rafvelasco3419]

After watching 10 different reviews from 10 different content, creators, and hearing 10 different audio quality comparison…. If I am being honest and unbiased, the road wireless pro, hands-down, has a better audio quality 🤷🏻‍♂️ It has longer battery life, more internal storage, you can transfer your audio with a USB-C cable connected to the case (DJI mics u have to plug them in individually even tho the case has usb-c), the Lav mics screw in so it can accidentally pull off on the Rode Pros….. but at the end of the day, I circle back to the main thing, the audio quality.. and my honest and unbiased opinion is that the road pro wins hands-down.

[@mathiassiebert1217]

I love this video. So right from the heart of life, from practice. Very enlightening. If I hadn't already bought the set, I would do it now at the latest.

[@matthewrreis]

Close to a million subs! Great job Gene!

[@harryvuemedia]

Best wireless Mic so far. DJi really innovated this Mic 2 that Rode and Deity need to do with their own wireless mics. What I love about the Mic 2 is the 32-bit sound, bluetooth pairing to smartphones without using app, windscreen can be mounted onto the audio-in port and especially the Multi-Interface hot shoe. The Mi hot shoe is a game changer for sure. No more do I need to plug a cable from Transmitter to audio port on the camera especially with the FX3 that has terrible buzzing sound with wireless mics. Rode doesn't have this feature and they really need to implement it because it makes a huge differences especially when you don't have to charge your Transmintter. The sound quality is a bit better on the Go-ii compare to Mic 2. My only complaint about the Mic 2 is that they are small so battery life is shorter. I do hope DJi will make a PRO version of their future Wireless Mics where we can setup 4 receivers. Also make them a bit bigger for longer battery life. Otherwise, go with the Mic 2 over Go-ii Pro because Rode needs to innovate and play catchup.

[@JHawk]

Great vid using them!

[@LanaOkeanes]

"its not secret, don't feel special" 😂😂😅 you could have just let him have a moment

[@nelsonpun]

the rode comes with two lavs which is a huge selling point. theyre nice lavs too

[@TheTozotube]

Just bought it lets goooo!

[@grisvianbrudlie6093]

Glad I woke up at 5 am lol, what a nice casual vid great way to start of my day..😮

[@hellounclesim]

Thanks for the time sync comparison. You set a high bar for mic reviews :)

[@sloanNYC]

I've been impressed with DJI getting into these mics, I just KNOW Rode is all in and will keep going so it tilts me a bit in this comparison for sure. $548 for the Osmo Action 4 AND the new MIC 2 is a great bundle...

[@AhsanZafar]

damnnnn gene so close to 1M i hope you get there very soon

[@sebas.rozmary]

I am so happy. I wondered when I could buy a second mic for my GF when we bought the POCKET 3.

[@ozmain439]

Sam's scream is like a GTA npc jumping a bridge/cliff. totally funny. great video

[@BehindTheKitOfficial]

Dude you're so close to 1 million subs!! Hell yeah. You've grown a ton recently! You're my favorite reviewer! #lovethePotato

[@EricKlein]

the quality difference between phone and receiver/action4 is that it is using pure Bluetooth to connect to the phone, with the action4/pocket3/DJI receiver it's actually transmitting the audio on a 2.4ghz signal not Bluetooth. Which is also why there was interference in congested areas, the 2.4ghz spectrum is busy.

[@Jamaicanboi407]

Kari, sam, pita, that deep voice guy the hotel rooms where awesome.... an that PJ guy was ok lol lol

[@JasonQueue]

Great breakdown of the dji mics~ also you're so close to 1 million!!

[@iDealMedley]

always preferred the dji over rode in terms of size especially

[@justincosplay]

so close to a million!!!!

[@DronographerEU]

thanks for showing us the part about the syncing after +4h - i didn't know about that 😯

[@Sinisterbvnny]

I picked up some used Godox wireless mics that sound great. It might drop audio a bit more than i'd like and not have internal recording, but they do the trick for $50.

[@TSGEnt]

8:25 such a killer view from that window. What hotel was that? Would that be Excaliber or MandalayBay? I caught the Luxor out the window.

[@tjsn-4vision]

I been waiting for this💯

[@gregrok]

Interesting thing is that the rode wireless pro has a much fuller bandwidth especially bottom end, giving a more radio-like sound than DJI. I really like DJI devices, but here it is clearly audible that the lower part of the band is weaker, and u mentioned not using low cut filter

[@corazoninmaculado77]

great video guys... thank you. I would love for DJI to make the lavalier mic in white as well. Great sound. Saludos from Spain

[@flushfpv]

Once again. Awsome video. Love watching your content. Thanks jet!!

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Rode mic sounds really great 👍🏾

[@theartz3471]

Honestly either the Rode or the DJI would be dope to use!!!!

[@nordinshafiq]

What an amazing comparison that you come out with. Thank you so much for the insight. Just a curious question, how did you do the interview using the 3 mics? does one of the mic is recording on its own without the receiver?

[@MattLavergne4]

Oh man I was in the same convention center as the mighty Potato?! Such a shame I never saw you but it's always fun to see all the areas of CES that one couldn't visit during such a busy week! PS these mics are sweet, but I think I'd skip the Noise Cancellation as it hollows out your voice almost a little too much? But the DJI to DJI connection is so clutch, so that's a W. Here at work the RODE PROs have been super clutch when the Tentacle Syncs are in use on other cameras!

[@infochannel392]

Great review, thanks! As to noise cancellation, I'd shoot with it off and add in post where you have more latitude in control. You an definitely hear the 'limiter' with in mic nc.

[@jdrone]

nice to meet you. This is the hottest mic in days. I enjoyed the good reviews and the situation. I think it's a very good microphone. Happy New Year^^

[@doorandlocktips]

[@RiflesnSabres]

Great video! Is there a way to connect 3 DJI Mic 2s to the Pocket 3 simultaneously? Or is 2 the max?

[@randofix]

Been eyeing these and you have sold on getting them. This was a great video Gene! Btw, the noise cancellation sounded super weird.

[@DA_Fuller]

So so close to One Million Subscribers! 💥💥👏🏻

[@rolandorosas]

Well done, great demos and entertaining 😊

[@NikolajTraneKarstenberg]

Why is the audio clipping at 1:46? Shouldn't 32bit float prevent that?

[@JerryOwassi]

The dji mic 2 is incredible

[@evan]

I appreciate all the "noise canceling" options they offer, but I'd always rather record the raw audio to sort it out in post for safety

[@DavidManouchehri]

Agreed, I wish they allowed outputting the noise cancelling audio via 3.5mm, while storing raw on the storage.

[@sloflo]

2 hrs later and about 22 videos watched and finally someone does a mic sound distance test (even if it was for 10 seconds) @12:38

[@K22MDL]

Is it me or does the audio from the DJi sound thin in comparison to the RODE?

[@chileo1]

It is thin compared to the RODE, in all reviews

[@SergSpace]

Where is this Robotic exhibition in Vegas? Was it like one time or it's like ongoing show?

[@livinginweymouth]

[@sebastiantreloar6045]

Really good to know the pocket 3 can receive 2 mics at the same time.

[@ScottBalkum]

What hotel was that at the end and was it cheap?

[@AraAvvali]

For iPhone, will there be a phone upgrade to allow using the native Camera app instead of a third-party? Or, is that the limitation of how Apple iOS works?

[@Tanner_Teves]

If you use the DJI receiver via lighting (or USB-C if you have a 15 pro) then you should be able to use the native camera app. I think you only have to swap to a 3rds party app if you use only Bluetooth between the iPhone and Transmitter (which you shouldn’t do anyways cause it sounds bad that way lol)

[@iDealMedley]

wish it has the locking jack

[@korn3701]

Can you like test that to a concert tho? And see if that mic is good?

[@TheDMSide]

The absolute SCREAM into the mic did it for me 😂

[@NatanRufino]

Nice video bro! So funny! Congratulations!

[@matthewadams2999]

Great review, thanks! Really not excited about the audio quality, it's not a shade against the Rode. Only case I can think where the voice isolation would suit me is livestreams, otherwise noise cancellation in Resolve works great. (and is adjustable)

[@Techtacula]

Aweosme video Gene! The new mics look and sound great, especially with the new features. One question I'd love to ask is, do you have any tips for recording more on-the-fly type videos as I tend to stutter a lot and say "um" even when I have a general idea of what I'm planning to say?

[@KingDavidV8]

You always have the best reviews! But, following you on KZbin gets kinda expensive! 😂😂😂

[@Mr12am]

Sams yell has had me in tears looking at the whole video lol

[@shutterspecter]

The voice isolation sound similar to the one in DaVinci Resolve but a bit more robotic if you do not talk directly into the dji mic.

[@lanceforlife5166]

1:46 1:47

[@xAbhimanew]

1 million lets goo baby

[@pilgrimheart]

Every review I hear makes it clear to me that the Rode sounds better but the DJI has the screen facing you on a camera but the Rode cannot accidentally format your audio in the field. Therefore we went with the Rode. We have Sankens locked into the Rode and it’s a sweet setup. We had three different camera ops accidentally delete the DJI one files in the field so I can’t risk that.

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

You can't "accidently" delete the footage on the DJI Mics. You have to scroll through several menus and then swipe confirm, to format them. It takes a special kind of fool to "accidently" achieve that.

[@DennisSchmitz]

Rode definitely sounds better. Way more full and also less harsh in treble.

[@pureheartvisuals]

Have you looked at the Timecode in the Pocket 3 ? You kinda breezed across that vs slate.

[@blancotv1]

1 millón subscriber, congratulation bro , keep it up

[@hotfootrabbit]

1:33 Damn Potato you got got so good range. Ever considered doing voice over?

[@GadgetAddict]

I loved my dji mic at first. But after awhile, there were problems with the mics and receiver not charging inside the case. So there were times that I'd go to use it, only to find out that one of the components didn't charge 🤦 Most of the time it works. Sometimes, often, it doesn't 🤷

[@GadgetAddict]

Also, encrypted storage would be a bonus.

[@NithilanDhandapani]

I thought Noise cancellation would be game changer but didn't expect it to sound like Auto Tune. Its horrible. We could bare the surrounding noise itself

[@leonwong95]

If I just get the transmitter itself, is it going to backward compatible with the dji mic 1 receiver? Personally, I still prefer the mic 1 matte design for the transmitter, on a close up just now it seems to be a fingerprint magnet shown in 8:30

[@SidinSeattle]

8:02 this is so stupid😂😂that was adorbs!

[@soundxajay]

Cool testing ❤

[@alpenfoxvideo7255]

i had 2 sets of DJI mics. Had so send both in because in a year the output jack wasn't holding the cable in anymore. Hope they fixed that. (my average insertions per month:20)

I was at CES as well would have been awesome to run into you

[@mr_rafy3806]
