That works too! I just tried it. But if you look at my reply on the thread. I put 3 hardware style options on there. I’m using one now and am considering a different option due to “Lego stacking” parts. God bless gaffers tape.
The DJI Mic 2 just got a fix for Sony users having digital signal noise issues (the problem is in the cable). The device is a hotshoe. This new audio adapter takes your DJI Mic 2 Rx and seamlessly integrates via that hot-shoe with your Sony camera. Check DJI Mic 2 Sony Audio PROBLEM FIXED by David Manning.
The issue I'm facing with mine is that I shoot with an iPhone and the receiver is plugged directly into my iPhone but at times the audio doesn't sync and it uses the iPhone's built in mics instead of the receiver.. The only way around this was to always unplug and plug in the receiver every time before I start shooting. Anyone else facing this issue? So annoying
I had this happen once so far and It nearly scrapped hours of recording. Luckily I was talking loud enough for my iPhone to pic up but there's no indication that the audio isn't coming from the DJI mic.
Record with blackmagic app or other video app instead and choose the mic before starting to record, These apps have settings where you can choose bluetooth mic, built in mic etc. Also better exposure control etc
Do you prefer DJI mic 2 compared with the rode pro? I need one of them for recording my lectures around 2 hours long. Using the camera wireless with the reciever.
09:13 for this problem. I have tried out and it works perfectly on my smallrig's rig just take 2 layers of ducktape (the black filmmaking one, ofcourse) to get some friction and we good to go. And it doesn't block the charging case.
@overtime94 It's been tested with over 8 different ones, the Shure MVL Lav is always a clear winner in many videos. The second "best" choice is the "Power De'Wise mic" which is, meh.. I would trust the Shure MVL all day
honestly, one of the best videos out there, describing useful devices for video production. Thank you for your efforts. My only critique is too many pushes in and out, these days it makes me not want to watch videos, just thought you would wanna know. Other than that stellar. Thanks!!
Why would you do a review of a microphone where during the entire video you are holding the mic to your mouth, yet at the same time you are wearing a lapel mic on your shirt - so for the entire video people can’t tell what is producing the actual audio to the video 😳🤨
Is there any latency in the transmission, can I hook it up to a powered speaker or sound board to transmit live? Also can I use multiples of these units while hooked up to one receiver?
The Noise Reduction is awesome for an old (60) user who just wants to record some audio without having access to an external program, or the desire to do post-production noise reduction.
Fantastic video. I’ve got a lot of mic systems. My favorite is my workhorse Sennheiser G4. Clunky but great. Got a couple of different Rode wireless cubes also. Picked up just the transmitter to make pocket 3 and action 5 solutions small and easy. Finally caved and bought receiver, so I’m watching a bunch of videos. Yours is great. Thanks for making it.
My Mic 2 and MI adapter arrived this weekend. My FX30's top cage completely blocks it, so at first, I designed a simple 3D printed adapter plate to mount the Tilta top cage further forwards. Unfortunately, the front of the cage goes way too far forward, so it wouldn't work. Then I integrated a NATO rail into it, and it's basically a top cage for an FX30/FX3! Did some testing with PLA and it needs someone to really want to break it to break it. Gonna try it in some Carbon Fibre plastic, but ultimately, I'd love Smallrig or Tilta to make one themselves.
I sanded the little numbs on my original dii mic cold shoe adapter down a bit and it clasps on better, you could also try tape, but I wanted a more permanent solution
I will Proudly say YES, I did lost my audio, and unfortunately not once... But how about YOU? Or tell us biggest fail that happen to you in that regard?
I have a question about DJI Mic 2 I know the transmitters use Bluetooth using to the action and pocket Osmo but what is the protocol it uses to go from the receiver to the transmitter?
thanks for this. i am here because i only bought the transmitter with the Rode lavalier, and I'm not yet happy with the sound quality. hoping you have some good tips
I was so excited to get the I use them two times and orange output Jack broke. When I wiggle the cord it stops sending audio I tried multiple cords. It’s not that it’s the actual orange 3.5 mm jack output. Now I’m nervous to buy another pair because if they broke so quick, what about five years down the road?
Like to see the video fo the lavalier mic for the dji wireles mic 2. Is it uploaded. I use senhiser and i have the dji wireles mic but the LAV sfrom the senhiser and my sony dont work with dji. I know some lav emite noise.... let me know if your video is uploaded? Thanks
There is two types of cold shoes, the one on the tops of the cameras are suppoused to be self-holdong by pressure but the others (like the one you show) are sopoused to be hold by a NUT, so it is not a problem of the DJI mic.
I'm going to be gifted a mic for my simple vlogging and I was given a choice the DJI mini or DJI mic 2 I'm not really good at this I figured go for the DJI Mike 2 because it's the most expensive and it's a gift then I came across your video and I said why would I need the 2 when the mini does everything I need and some but I would rather ask a question which one would be the best to grab there's a lot of features on the two that I will never use but he😮y your feedback is greatly appreciated thank you🤙👍
The step backwards from the Mic 1 are the 1. Cold Shoe - not removable anymore, won't clip, and will fall off like in 09:15 2. USB-C or Lightning Adapter - too short, won't insert if you have a phone case. I wonder why they have to change these things. All they have to do was to add Bluetooth function to the Mic 1 and they have a perfect Mic 2. -Bigger Receiver, shorter USB, Useless Cold Shoe Mount +Bluetooth If not for the bluetooth I won't upgrade, or sidegrade.
@@prOkrEAt I like the old DJI Mic 1, but has found a work around with the iphone bluetooth camera recording already so I don't actually need the whole Charging case and reciever set anymore.
@@kendelion I just replied to your first point. I have one on way now, but have one of the locking cold shoe mounts I mentioned. I also got lav mics for it because unit is too big for having in shot to be honest. Although until I receive it can't be sure locking mount would work either.
Hi, recently I bought a DJI Mic 2 and I'm very disappointed because the only way to make the standalone recordings usable is to set the TX gain to +12dB, but they still have to be boosted a lot in post. I turned off the Low pass filter, I tried 32 and 24 bits, I tried everything but the records are still very quiet when I put the TX on my chest. Is it normal ? Does somoene managed to records something on a dji mic 2 without having to drastically boost in post ?
@@kylemeshnaYeah I made the updates :'( I saw that i'm not the only one having this issue. But no solution yet. I wanted to know it was normal for a pro mic since I'm new in sound devices, but now I know that it is absolutly abnormal ; thanks for the advice
Did you do the follow up about the LAV? I've just bought a Mic 2 here and I'm gonna start playing around with it 😊 Just waiting for the delivery. And i wanted to know if i should pick up a LaV or if I could just go and use the transmitter mic itself. Well, first, as you said, im gonna sound proof my room because all I've got here is eco. Thank you for pointing that out, no matter the mic, how awesome it is, it's probably going to still sound like junk
Hi there! thank you so much for the video, i have a quick question that i'm wondering if you or anyone reading this may know - i'm currently using the DJI Mic 2, and if I'd like to only do internal recording without a receiver at all, will the transmitter still be transmitting any local signals during recording (eg constantly trying to search or pair with a receiver)? We're filming in an environment where a safety protocol we have to follow is that there are no locals signals being transmitted at all from our devices during filming. thanks in advance!
The cold shoe thing is really good to know. Even with the solution that Iain suggested, it’s good to know a cold shoe on its own won’t hold the mic in place, which is really, really unfortunate.
Does these microphones date timestamp the recording and when you transfer the recordings from the device to your desktop does it keep the original date and time stamp? Because the road mics do not and that’s why I hate them.
I’m using dji mic 2 single transmitter without the receiver, the problem I’m facing is I do internal record on my mind when it comes about to transfer the file from my iPhone , literally I tried 50 times to connect the DJ Mike to my iPhone with type C to lighting port but there is nothing shown on my file manager please help me. I’m crying please please please please please please please please please please if anyone know why this happening to me please help me out please I don’t have money to buy the receivers so I just lost my money on transmitter cause I don’t have PC laptop anything please help me
Great video! I use Sennheiser G3 and G4 wireless mics for weddings and interviews and they work fine...almost all the time...but I have been thinking I would like something that can also record internally in case I get radio interferance and I came across this DJI Mic 2-I would get a lavalier mic for it too- so that I can record audio wirelessly in my Sony FX30 and also have a good quality audio file in the transmitter..you seem to like it-some other reviewers not so much. I distrust sponsored reviews. Yours seems to be independent. anyway is this the best budget transmitter -recorder/ receiver available today as of November 2024? Is Rode any better? I listened to your audio test and it sounded acceptable-a good lav might help for sure-I will not activate noise reduction at all and do it all in post-how is the actual wireless transmission? clean? as good as with something like my Sennheisser G3/4? which lavalier will work best with this DJI mic 2 and finally, are the competitors any better? Like Rode and Deity? Thanks for the help. PS I know the Zoom F2 and the tascam Dr 10L pro are good recorders but not transmitters)
Does the saved audio from the transmitter sound better than the audio stored on the camera itself? While using a lav mic? Which lav mic would you recommend low to mid $ that would work best with wireless transmitter and osmo action 4?
I want to buy this microphone, in the simplest option where I only receive the transmitter... my doubt is whether the intelligent noise cancellation works without the transmitter... what I think would be possible was to record the sound and in editing sync it with the image... that way I'll have the best of this microphone?
The cold shoe is really annoying, maybe they should have added a 1/4 screw socket It would have allowed us to fix a falcam f22 adapter (but still got the charger box issue : damn...)
I have been recording live performances using my ACTION 4 camera and the sound quality is very poor. I just purchased the MIC 2 and have synced one of the MIC 2 receivers to my ACTION 4 camera. Thus far, he flexibility and sound quality is superior to just using the mic on the ACTION 4. Am going to do a live recording tomorrow and if I can find this post again, will let you know he results of that.
Overall a great system but a few things need to improve: - TX automatically goes into record when powering on. I'd like to have an option to turn this feature off. - No visual indication on the RX display when the TX Lo Cut filter is ON - The new MI Shoe Adapter is working great with Sony FX6 but not the Sony FX9, not sure why... - Although not an issue in post, the audio delay while monitoring is a bit annoying and a bit offsetting.
Take a thin piece of plastic, cut it to size & sandwich it between the receiver & the cold shoe. Don't glue it in place or it will be to tight to fit on a hot shoe. That's what I'd try.
Since these can operate individually as standard bluetooth mics, can you not just connect them to a phone with bluetooth and use the DJI app to change any setting, including enable 32bit float?
From what I’ve been reading while researching this system, nope. If you use a mic standalone you lose 32bit float and noise reduction, if you use BT you lose internal recording altogether. On a forum DJI support suggests going into a store and asking to use a receiver to change settings on the standalone mic.
@@ac1320 Oh wow, that seems like a major oversight from DJI, I hope this is fixable in software. That's also a strange decision to disable internal recording with BT as BT signal is much worse than the wireless system they use, that is disappointing to hear.
@@DigiDriftZone yeah 100% agree. The support agent says they’re working on it. Haven’t followed up but I would think just aggregate to existing app. But I’m no engineer or anything so I’m talking out my butt on this.
@@adventurepromo I hope this is something that changes, it's nice the Rode have an app, but it does require a physical connection the phone. DJI should hopefully be able to do this over bluetooth since the Rode doesn't have bluetooth.
This is actually how I should have put my video together. 😊 I just wanted to make a first impressions video and I don't think it is being received well. I was a little bit too emotional and I may have to copy paste your format here
Here’s a quick fix to your cold shoe receiver problem Wrap 4 of these small black rubber bands around the receiver thingy, and when you slide it in the cold shoe, it will be snug and it doesn’t interfere when you put it back in the charging case Hicarer 1000 Mini Rubber Bands Soft Elastic Bands for Hair Braids(1.5 cm,Black)
No. The lav mic connects to the DJI transmitter, so you’re recording audio on the lav mic into the transmitter and the transmitter can also send to the receiver
I bought just the mic trying to save money. Then I discovered I couldn't activate 32 bit without the receiver! Had to send it back an re-order with the receiver!
Thank for this! The new active hotshoe attachment that prevents the use of a cable makes me lean to this one over the Rode Wireless Pro. But still kinda on the fence about them... If you use the coldshoe; there are these cold shoe quick release locking baseplates by the way!
Such a good review, and yes it’s almost always better to process things in post, for the same reason it’s better not have electronic stabilisation on and to do it in post.
there are adapters for cold shoes with locking mechanisms for stuff like that receiver, id expect people like you to know this stuff but again this was just a bait for us to comment.. i guess it worked! good for you
Does it sound as good as the zoom f3 when recording with the shure sm7b? (as in comparing both recording with the same mic. The dji mic 2 has enough power to drive the shure sm7b I saw in a different video)
I have tried every configuration possible and even chatted with the folks that posted those SM7B+DJI Mic 2 videos... I haven't be able to get anything more than a muddled whisper out of the combo
@@kylemeshna What did Fredo heavy say? I find that hard to believe that one unit would have enough power to run a shure sm7b and another unit wouldn't. Was he using a different cable or?
@@kylemeshnaYes BUT he said he turned the pre amp off, which he claims makes it essentially a shure sm7b. Which Idk if is true, maybe even with preamp off the db might be easier to drive idk.
“CashMoji” here. Great video. Very informative and entertaining. I went a head and purchased the Mic2(2 x Tx and Rx, charger bundle). Investing into our UA-cam channel. Knowing is growing, thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Please do an aftermarket lav mic video you sir would be a lifesaver for a new content creator!! You earned my sub and like today. Thank you for the honest and well made review. 🎉
Just got mine yesterday. Documentation? sucks Connector stability? sucks BT pairing? lame BT to Action3 no? sucks BT to android? sucks BT ear buds no? sucks Other than that I love it!
Hey, a small piece of gaffers tape stuck in to the cold shoe mount gives enough resistance for the receiver to stay in place 👍🏻
Genius. Gonna try that
That works too! I just tried it. But if you look at my reply on the thread. I put 3 hardware style options on there. I’m using one now and am considering a different option due to “Lego stacking” parts. God bless gaffers tape.

Was gonna suggest this. And if not, just tape the damn this in place, assuming you're already talking about adding velcro. lol
The noise reduction is useful when you're live streaming where it isn't possible to remove the background noise in post.
Neewer UA030 cold shoe adapter works great and holds both dji receiver or transmitters.
7:40 and 8:14 both times the noice cancellation is off, but the results are different. Did I miss something?

Off is better …… 🙉

This video review has been one of the best, real review I have ever seen.
You mentioned the Velcro just put the carpet side of the Velcro in the bottom of your cold shoe. It helps tremendously.
Why would you do a review of a microphone where during the entire video you are holding the mic to your mouth, yet at the same time you are wearing a lapel mic on your shirt - so for the entire video people can’t tell what is producing the actual audio to the video 😳🤨
Is there any latency in the transmission, can I hook it up to a powered speaker or sound board to transmit live?

Mic 2 has the added benefit of internal recording and lav mic. If one doesn't need that, there are better and cheaper options
put some gaff tape in the cold shoe to thicken it up and also add grip, it works for the mic 1 receiver
The receiver falling out of my cold shoe was the first thing I realized would be a problem. I have to turn it sideways in order for it to stay put.
The step backwards from the Mic 1 are the
1. Cold Shoe - not removable anymore, won't clip, and will fall off like in 09:15

I would like a comparison of the lapel mics.
Here is that video BEST Lavalier Microphone for DJI Mic 2? 9 Mics UNDER $100 Tested

I wish I had a fast filter to lower the music levels on this video... future YT should have the option to silence music and keep only the voices..
I have been recording live performances using my ACTION 4 camera and the sound quality is very poor. I just purchased the MIC 2 and have synced one of the MIC 2 receivers to my ACTION 4 camera. Thus far, he flexibility and sound quality is superior to just using the mic on the ACTION 4. Am going to do a live recording tomorrow and if I can find this post again, will let you know he results of that.
Overall a great system but a few things need to improve:
- TX automatically goes into record when powering on. I'd like to have an option to turn this feature off.
- No visual indication on the RX display when the TX Lo Cut filter is ON
- The new MI Shoe Adapter is working great with Sony FX6 but not the Sony FX9, not sure why...
- Although not an issue in post, the audio delay while monitoring is a bit annoying and a bit offsetting.
Take a thin piece of plastic, cut it to size & sandwich it between the receiver & the cold shoe. Don't glue it in place or it will be to tight to fit on a hot shoe. That's what I'd try.
I 3d printed a locking cold shoe adapter for my receiver, works great with my cage.
Put thin felt in the cold clip to make fitment tighter
Since these can operate individually as standard bluetooth mics, can you not just connect them to a phone with bluetooth and use the DJI app to change any setting, including enable 32bit float?
From what I’ve been reading while researching this system, nope. If you use a mic standalone you lose 32bit float and noise reduction, if you use BT you lose internal recording altogether. On a forum DJI support suggests going into a store and asking to use a receiver to change settings on the standalone mic.
@@ac1320 Oh wow, that seems like a major oversight from DJI, I hope this is fixable in software. That's also a strange decision to disable internal recording with BT as BT signal is much worse than the wireless system they use, that is disappointing to hear.
@@DigiDriftZone yeah 100% agree. The support agent says they’re working on it. Haven’t followed up but I would think just aggregate to existing app. But I’m no engineer or anything so I’m talking out my butt on this.
There's no app like you get with the Rode Wireless Go products. The DJI app is basically just a link to the DJI store.
@@adventurepromo I hope this is something that changes, it's nice the Rode have an app, but it does require a physical connection the phone. DJI should hopefully be able to do this over bluetooth since the Rode doesn't have bluetooth.
do they work with the osmo pocket 2 camera? Can you match them?
Shim the cold shoe with tape or velcro.
What would the upgrade be to?
This is actually how I should have put my video together. 😊 I just wanted to make a first impressions video and I don't think it is being received well. I was a little bit too emotional and I may have to copy paste your format here
Great video. Just wanted to know if I select 32 bit and record on receiver then do I still need to make any audio gain adjustments or am I good to go?
A solution you could use to keep the receiver in place is to use a locking cold shoe mount.
Piece of gaff tape works fine
My biggest gripe with this system is the amount of drift you get when recording to the transmitter. It's pretty much unusable for long-form content.
Can the transmiter mic hook to your Android via Bluetooth?
Yes you can, but in my testing the audio over BT is not as "crispy" as using the receiver mounted/connected to the phone.
Here’s a quick fix to your cold shoe receiver problem
Wrap 4 of these small black rubber bands around the receiver thingy, and when you slide it in the cold shoe, it will be snug and it doesn’t interfere when you put it back in the charging case
Hicarer 1000 Mini Rubber Bands Soft Elastic Bands for Hair Braids(1.5 cm,Black)
Ended up just putting a small square of gaff tape on the cold shoe and it fixed it immediately
Great. Lots of solutions for fix. Glad yours worked also
I'm totally a noob. Does a Lav mic mean you are using 2 mics at once?
No. The lav mic connects to the DJI transmitter, so you’re recording audio on the lav mic into the transmitter and the transmitter can also send to the receiver
I bought just the mic trying to save money. Then I discovered I couldn't activate 32 bit without the receiver! Had to send it back an re-order with the receiver!
Thank you very very much for review 🎉❤
Thank for this! The new active hotshoe attachment that prevents the use of a cable makes me lean to this one over the Rode Wireless Pro. But still kinda on the fence about them... If you use the coldshoe; there are these cold shoe quick release locking baseplates by the way!
Very keen to see lav mic options for dji mic 2
Running the tests now!
Such a good review, and yes it’s almost always better to process things in post, for the same reason it’s better not have electronic stabilisation on and to do it in post.
there are adapters for cold shoes with locking mechanisms for stuff like that receiver, id expect people like you to know this stuff but again this was just a bait for us to comment.. i guess it worked! good for you
Is DJI Mic 2 compatible with EOS R8. Have anyone tried such setup?
Does it sound as good as the zoom f3 when recording with the shure sm7b? (as in comparing both recording with the same mic. The dji mic 2 has enough power to drive the shure sm7b I saw in a different video)
I have tried every configuration possible and even chatted with the folks that posted those SM7B+DJI Mic 2 videos... I haven't be able to get anything more than a muddled whisper out of the combo
@@kylemeshna What did Fredo heavy say? I find that hard to believe that one unit would have enough power to run a shure sm7b and another unit wouldn't. Was he using a different cable or?
he's using the Shure Sm7dB, which has the built in pre-amp. I only have the SM7B 😔
@@kylemeshnaYes BUT he said he turned the pre amp off, which he claims makes it essentially a shure sm7b. Which Idk if is true, maybe even with preamp off the db might be easier to drive idk.
If you buy the transmitter only then you can only shoot in 24bit audio and not 32bit
Use the same magnet that comes in package 😅maybe it will work
super merci !
You can switch to S5 IIX, it is working with hot shoe there perfectly! :D
“CashMoji” here. Great video. Very informative and entertaining. I went a head and purchased the Mic2(2 x Tx and Rx, charger bundle). Investing into our UA-cam channel. Knowing is growing, thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Much appreciated. Welcome aboard
Is there a reason your Audio quality and style changes the whole Video?
The background music is so annoying I wish you would cut it out. It became unbearable
Very helpful thank you very much
SmallRig Universal Cold Shoe Mount, Multi-Functional Shoe Adapter with Safety Release
Please do an aftermarket lav mic video you sir would be a lifesaver for a new content creator!! You earned my sub and like today. Thank you for the honest and well made review. 🎉
I already made that one for you as well

Dji lav mic is kinda good but yeaaah shure one was sure nice
Got a big comparison of a ton of Lav mics dropping tomorrow
oh that cold shoe mount issues is a really big issue for sure ... how stupid is that ... oh well ... not gonna get one I guess
Fixed it with a little tiny square of gaff tape in the cold shoe. Works perfectly now actually
@@kylemeshna pretty sad that you have to use "a square of gaff tape" for a 350 bucks device that supposed to be for professional use 😅
@@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl agreed.
Smallrig safety cold mount shoe
...thats what she said... yep i heard that
try going teflon don wraps on it boi! thin enough maybe...
Just got mine yesterday.
Documentation? sucks
Connector stability? sucks
BT pairing? lame
BT to Action3 no? sucks
BT to android? sucks
BT ear buds no? sucks
Other than that I love it!
Music is too loud. I came here to learn not to listen music.
