mini better with noise cancellation.

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*I have the Mic 2 And Thinking of getting the Lark M2 also*

[@Chase-ing_Golf]

@@ThinkMediaTV I already have the DJI mic 2 and love it. Probably going to get the mini as well mainly for the fact I feel it would be a better fit size wise for my four year-old son when we are out on the course or the driving range sometimes the mic 2 is just too big for him to wear and gets tangled up or in his way when golfing.

[@kennethjonesphotography]

As a former recording artist, I'm a big pain in the a** when it comes to sound quality. The overwhelming winner of the audio testing of these 2 mics done in this video is unquestionably the DJI Mic 2. It definitely has a wider range with far better tonal quality throughout, as well as having much brighter highs without sounding "tinny." Thanks for an excellent presentation.

[@HikingwithRouletteRun]

For many of the reasons you mentioned, I went with the Mic Mini. I love the size and weight of it, and as somebody who intends to be doing a lot of walking with it, that's important. I can tell you, the Mic Mini is quite a step up from my Rode Wireless Go where I really hated the weight of the transmitter on my shirt and purchased a battery powered lav mic to pair with the transmitter. The problems being occasionally, I would forget to either turn the lav mic's power on when recording, or forget to turn the power off and run the battery down. This required me to always have a supply of coin batteries on hand. I only got the Mic Mini earlier this week and have only had the chance to use it in the last clip of one video and a couple of test videos, but so far, I'm very happy with the results to this point.

[@mikezupancic2182]

Ive recorded like 8tb of 4k content this year. I've literally never needed the backup recording. The mini is such a great choice and is working great.

[@FenTour]

Mike 2 sounds much better, however the price difference is substantial!

[@CharlonClarke]

agree! which one would you purchase?

[@FenTour]

@ I have a Mike 2 with my Pocket 3, so could not really compromise despite the cost.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Agreed!

[@eGamingable]

mini fan here, I've been using this since it landed on the market and I'm pleased with it.

[@Chase-ing_Golf]

3:07 golf channels, such as mine. If we need to walk away from the camera or have the cameraman at a distance, this feature really helps.

[@darienandjoanna]

Getting the Mic mini! Cant wait

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Woohoo! Hope you enjoy it!

[@Tanner_Teves]

I used to have the Mic 2, was a little too big and bulky for me to wear and maybe I had the old firmware but it sounded really muffled. I now have the mic mini and it’s perfect for me. Sounds great, super small, and pretty good for the money!

[@cryogo-ov2lb]

I also switched to Mic mini and no regrets. Form factor of the Mic mini is FTW

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Nice video. The lack of a 3.5mm in the mini is the deal breaker for me.

[@CHEFPKR]

One issue I have had with the DJI Mic 2 is audio interference with either the Sony mount or other gear in my set up. I basically have to use on board recording.

[@DBNews91]

😂 Same here lol I’m using now on my iPad the sound is super great to be honest there no difference between the 2

[@LouDez]

Got the mic 2 with the osmo pocket 3 combo. I like watching your videos and seeing how they’re edited. You guys are great

[@IamJay]

I already have a Mic 2 Tx only but when I heard about this Mic Mini I ordered the Tx only too. Now I got both Mic 2 and Mic Mini

[@raulgolfs]

That Mini will be perfect for my Golf Vlogs.

[@Joinfluence]

hey would it work on a stand holder ?

[@MovingtoOhio]

Would you recommend the DJI Mic Mini or Mic 2 for KZbin talking head videos ? Why or why not ? Thank you for making this video.

[@seanchen9265]

Still happy with my mic2

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Great mic!

[@RobTVFilCanLife]

Can it work on a gopro 12 or gopro 13? The mic mini?

[@trevorwild195]

I wonder with a little tweak, can the mic mini sound 'deeper'?

[@lvc394]

Mic 2 is better without the muff. The Mic Mini sounds better with the muff.

[@Casey_Atkinson]

If I am exclusively filming on iPhone, can I just pair the mini with bluetooth? Is there any point of getting the receiver. Was just wondering if you can buy and use the mic by itself.

[@jeremylovechild]

if you are trying to save money just get a used dji mic 1 over the mini. still a great mic just seems forgotten about since the 2 came out

[@winfeb]

Hey, have you tried pairing with a GoPro specifically with the GoPro 11? If yes, Does it need to be with the audio cable or can we use the type C port to connect it?

[@danhueandre7179]

I really like most of the features on the Mini. But the decidinFrom the video, I really like most of the features on the Mini. But the deciding factor for me is the sound quality-it’s quite a big difference. That’s why I’m leaning towards getting the Mic 2.g factor for me is the sound quality-it’s quite a big difference. That’s why I went with the Mic 2.

[@brotherfredrickbeats]

DJI mini sounds great, the audio is clean. While the DJI mic 2 when you turn on the noise cancellation button it sounds as if someone is holding your nose while you are talking.

[@paulEwheels]

I’m getting the mic2.

[@elyajvlogs]

Mic 2 sounds a lot better but the convenience of the mini is awesome. I have the Mic 2 and it's a bit heavy tugging on my shirts. Hopefully DJI can improve on the Mini some more later on. Awesome review, thank you!

[@hectoritocars9976]

Can the DJI mini Connect to a GoPro 13 just like the DJI mic 2 via Bluetooth since both have Bluetooth ?

[@Ftravelers]

Why when I recorded on mono I only have audio on one side with the mic mini. ?

[@JmoneyCrypto]

would anyone say these are worth the upgrade from the dji mic? The noice cancelation is somthing i really like.

[@SuT4G4Racing]

Good video, I have a question regarding which of the 2 microphones to choose. My idea is to use it in a motovlog. Together with a DJI camera (this way I save cables and losing watertightness) I thought it was better to use the DJI Mic 2 because it could have internal 32-bit recording and be able to use a lavalier microphone. But now because of the size I don't know which one would be better. Thank you very much and keep it up.

[@Liberty76]

Bought the mic 2 about 2 months ago but haven’t used it yet. May have to get the mini just because.

[@nelsonngu]

I will share my POV here just in case someone is on the same channel as me. I have got the Pocket 3 Combo that comes with 1 transmitter of DJI Mic 2. I debate for a long time should I get DJI Mic Mini so that I can use the receiver to plug on my Pocket 3 and have 2 transmitters instead. More over, I can use it on my camera (A7IV) or even my iPhone 16 Pro. However, I slowly realised, it would be a hassle to fumble with the connection although you may think it's just plug and play, what's so troublesome about right? I use Pocket 3 extensively now, and to plug the transmitter at the back of the USB port while holding it, it's such a pain in the a**. If I connect it to my iPhone just to record the audio, might as well, I get a Lexar SSD + Hub to record ProRes on my iPhone right? It's also a no brainer, if I connect to A7IV and record just audio, might as well I record videos from my A7IV too? Need not mention, no 32bit float, no internal recording, no 3.5mm for lav mic. I think I am just better off get another DJI Mic 2 transmitter to pair with Pocket 3 instead so I have 2 transmitters auto connect to my Pocket 3 as soon as I turn on. They sounds wayyyyy better too. Just my 2 cents.

[@tanner.quintero]

DJI Mini is compatible with the Sony Shoe wireless adapter ?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

[@nicholaslu4069]

I’ve got the mic mini and mic 2 (that came with the pocket 3). I got the mini because I do bike vlogging (on another channel) on my action 4 and don’t enjoy having the mic 2 attached cuz it does feel like noticeable weight. I’m just speaking so it sounds good enough to me. Cannot discern much of a difference but I’m not too concerned with sound quality as long as it’s not terrible.

[@True_Odia]

I'm confused Please 🙏 Create a Video ( holiand lark m2 VS DJI mic mini) please reply 😊

[@SuzoSenpai]

I wish y’all would’ve expanded on the audio limiter function but nonetheless, great video!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for the feedback! I figured you can get a sense of it it works in the audio tests, both handle volume similarly!

[@SuzoSenpai]

@ definitely! But the smaller details like if it can be activated through the buttons on the mic, memo app, receiver, or DJI device. I don’t think the DJI Mic 2 has a clipping option available like the Mini does. I haven’t seen or heard of it considering it has 32bit float but that requires editing on the event of clipping which isn’t ideal if you want clip-free audio baked straight into the video. The Rode wireless pro mics have an auto gain option and record 32bit float internally, I thought the DJI Mic 2 would do the same based off of what was said in this video.

[@chrismullin8304]

Some criticism, the affiliate button on the bottom left of the screen prevents me from rewinding the video. It’s a hard no go for me as it blocks the last remaining space on screen when watching on my phone.

[@damianhbk1]

How does the mic mini receiver work with a phone and gimbal set up? That receiver seems a little on the bulky side compared to others on the market. Great review, thank you!🙏

[@benflee]

And the bestmic handles for different purposes, I can't find any video on youtube 😢 😫

[@schoeferfilm]

I bought last week the mic 2 but didn’t had time to test it 😂

Thanks for the breakdown! I'm still using my rode mics for the time being!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Happy to help! Great choice as well!

[@samlloyd6197]

DJI is bringing easy to use products for the average person for social media. This mic and the Neo drone is geared to the average consumer.

[@MexicoAdventurer]

The sound of the mic2 is better than the mini. Except... when you put the dead cat on both of them, they're just about the same.

[@kevinmasundire]

nah after the buzzing sound i got from dji mics, I wouldn't recommend anyone get these. rode is way better

[@rohitkochikkatfrancis]

What buzzing sound ?

[@VladOnEarth]

I think mic mini is a winner by every case, because no matter what you guys think, DJI MIC and MIC2 products are NOT professional products. Audio quality is just not there. So they are both just consumer products and which is why mic mini wins and make more sense in every way.

[@TheCosmicRealm3]

Neither. Buy the Hollyland lark M2, or the Hollyland lark Max.

[@ByMatthewPorter]

The Mini looks great, but the onboard recording on the DJI Mic version 1 has saved me from losing entire projects. i wouldn’t want to give that up.

[@BetterHealthBetterMan]

I already have the DJI Mic2 and love it. As a matter of fact, it has already replaced three of my other microphones, two Rode mics and one Movo. I think if you did a test on the DJI Mic2 and compared them to a similarly priced boom mic and desktop mic, you'll probably find that the DJI Mic2, might be the one "mic to rule them all" for most creators. And yeah, I love LoTR references. 😅😅

[@LinaSemina]

I was absolutely disappointed when I discover that Dji mic mini exists😮 I've bought Dji mic 2 two months ago and I've enjoyed it using with Dji Osmo camera, but I have the white mic which I've bought separately (I needed this actual color). So now I've discovered this DJI mini version, and if I knew, I'll better buy this one. But also I've found that my fintess KZbin collegues use Hollyland Lark 2 and this is a game changer! And it crashed the "mini" form of DJI mini completely! (and yes, I need it then!))

[@ty-k6708]

I really like the idea, but I think DJI messed up. They should have made it so these transmitters were compatible with the Mic 2s system so Sony users can continue using their wireless options instead of having to buy into an entirely new system just to get a smaller transmitter.

[@superwebsitehero7261]

Hollyland Lark M2 unless you have DJI ecosystem. The end!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Good point!

[@gallowaylights]

What happens if you are trying to record a wind or thunderstorm? Maybe I wanna hear the zoo animals when you make a video.

[@CharlonClarke]

good question, but you could always add the animal sounds in the video

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You can use the wind muffs to help with that!

Could be a good option I like the sound from the Rode Wireless Pro, although it is bigger and more expensive than these solutions.
