I wish Sony put this much effort into their wireless microphone. Safety tracks, internal recording, better levels control, simple recharging case. Sigh. I should have waited.
SONY does wireless for pros They do have that small transmitter-receiver combo, but that's probably just "good enough" to include in bundles. But hey! it plugs into the MI shoe, which can be great
@@samuel.gabura yeah it plugs into the MI shoe but then you cannot control the levels on your camera 🤦♂️ You can only use the preset levels on the microphone. You have to connect the receiver using a 3.5mm cable if you want to adjust the levels 🤷♂️
@@cuddleslug547 I think their system and pricing is pretty similar to the new Rode wireless set. But including the rechargable case solves the hassle of having to hookup individual charge cables and how to store/transport your set without losing or damaging anything. Hopefully other companies will react and improve their products, like you say.
Watching now. Very nice video. I am going to be primarily using it for product reviews. Which one would you recommend? They both sound very good. I am leaning to the DJI. I like how it plugs into the phone from what I see.
Given that we have a similar use for the microphone, the ability to just plug the transmitter directly into the computer and recover the files is very practical. For example, if we record a YT video and the audio saves to the camera memory card (via the receiver). Let's say, we need to go back and do a bit of voice over for some B-roll. I'll just switch on the transmitter and use it as a sound recorder then quickly transfer the file to the computer via USB. For us, productivity is a huge factor so anything that helps in that respect is very valuable. But as I say, in the comparison video, they are both great.
@@sonarun agree 100% if you have the rode wireless go 2 (I do) don't think its worth the upgrade, but if you are buying from nothing I think this Is an amazing option.
Magic. I started using radio mics in the last century and they've come along well since then. I must remember to donate mine to the local museum some time. Anyway, one small correction - I am 95% sure that the only action camera which accepts USB output from this is the DJI Action 2 - all others use proprietory connectivity. The use of normal standards for its USB connector is one of the relatively unsung strong points of that excellent little device.
You're probably right on the action camera side of things. GoPro have a completely unnecessary and expensive proprietary adapter for external audio inputs. Cheers!
@@DroneFilmGuide Although the Action 2 seems expensive, if you bought a GoPro and added the stuff to give you audio input and 360 degree horizon lock, you'd probably be spending more - it's essential to compare like with like. (I'm conveniently not mentioning batteries, however!)
True Peter. The thing with batteries is now that everything charges from USB-C, you can buy a $20 power bank on Amazon and just charge in your pocket when you're not using your camera. I'm far too cheap to buy expensive spare batteries so have always had some kind of car charging or power bank solution!
Of the videos I've seen on this system, i decided to order it and can't wait. I haven't done any vlog style videos or anything like that because I didn't like the audio recording off my Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra/Insta360 One X2 mics. On the One x2 as long as the camera is close to me, the audio is not so bad but once I extend the selfie stick, it becomes hard to hear me. So safe to say, I can't wait to give this system a try.
Rode really stepped up with the GOII but DJI have taken Rode’s lead and improved on it. That said, I expect you will have to pay a bit more for those added features, especially the case so I won’t be trading in my GOII anytime soon. I’m interested to see your comparison video to see how a drone company competes with an audio company in making a wireless mic. It seems that DJI must have hired some good people to work on their new products because they seem to have put out quality products that are going to do well. If they put out products like this and it fails then everyone will say how stupid it was for a drone company to branch out into mics. In much the same way people thought GoPro were stupid for making a drone but if it succeeded then nobody would have questioned it. Branching out into other areas is fine so long as your smart about how you do it.
Friend, thank you very much for the review! My English is not very good. But everything is clear without words) tell me, will this microphone work for Instagram streams?
There's some nice little convenience features here that the Wireless GO II doesn't have for sure. Audio quality is pretty nice too just based on the audio in your video. The charging case is a big plus.
Some things I would be actually interested in, as a comparison to the Rode Wireless Go (and Go 2) systems, what's the SPL dB of the DJI? - Rode has a SPL of 100 and there are also other Lavs out there that go up to 120 (which is way better for people shouting, but those systems don't have internal recording so that's the tradeoff) - Also, does it have better shielding? Lots of people have reported "radio-like" noises when using the Rode with the Sony a7S III. I know it's partially the Camera's fault for having poor shielding on the mic input, but I was wondering if having better shielding on the DJI could help. Not to mention good shielding blocks out unwanted interference. These are the 2 factors that they didn't talk about in their product showcase and I think that they are pretty important for a lot of people. Thank you!
Like it. Only wish it was UHF. My location has heavy 2.4ghz interference. Great idea with the recorder/transmitter concept. I am currently using Tascams. Good review, very thorough. Cheers
Well spoken well thought out and thorough review! The pro tip of plugging straight into USB C is just one of those nice touches that lets us know you’ve done your homework!! Thank you.
Hi Stewart, thanks for this video review. Does the receiver have a hot/cold shoe for mounting to cameras and is this mic kit available to purchase now?
So maybe I'm missing it, but outside of the charging case, touch screen, or the added connections for phone attachment, what is the biggest benefit of having this over the Wireless Go II?
In addition to the 3 pretty meaningful features you've mentioned, easy transfer of files to computer, i.e. not via an app. Smaller and more discrete transmitters. Everyone has different priorities but if you're a wedding filmmaker for example, charging 3 separate devices via USB-C is not practical. Doing so with a pre-charged case is extremely valuable. Access to all settings via a touch screen is also extremely useful because fiddling with an app is not always suitable. Like I say, everyone has different priorities.
Two things for me over the Rode system: 1. you can plug it straight into a phone. 2, a headphone jack on the receiver, so you can monitor audio regardless what you have it connected to. Some smaller cameras have a mic input, but no headphone jack.
I LOVE my Rode WirelessGo setup and, while there are a few things with this setup that I don't need or care about...dual transmitters, for instance...there are a few things about this that have me considering a switch. For sure. The safety track thing, being able to use it with a computer or phone...very cool. But, on-transmitter backup recording?...that ALONE got my attention. THAT is kind of a game changer. I don't know of another system that does anything like that and it LITERALLY would have saved me a couple weeks ago when I had to throw an entire video in the bin because I forgot to turn my receiver on. First time that's happened but it may very well not be the last. lol If they made a single transmitter version to directly compete with the WirelessGo, it'd be a textbook case of "*TAKE MY MONEY!!*"
Question. iPhone user: When you connect the receiver to an iPhone , after you record some video, do you need to unplug the receiver in order to listen to the recorded video? I have rode wireless go connected via trrs adapter and you need to unplug receiver in order to listen the video audio. I know that the new rode wireless go 2 with the lightning cable would work, this is no need to unplug cable I’m Oder to listen video audio. Does it work same way with DJI mic . Btw thank very for this and other videos. Amazing quality and details..
I really don't like the DJI usb c / lightning connector thing it just doesn't feel right having it come straight out the port. The osmo pocket is the same. I'd much rather use a cable.
Great video, you move through the information of the product with details and examples concise enough to understand but fast enough to not waste my time👍 perhaps the two mic setup in mono next to each other could be used separately one as safety track and one as normal. Even though that can be done on one unit, might just be easier.
Looks like a very well thought out wireless mic kit, I have a pair of DPA 6060's, have you noticed any issues with lavalliers with a locking system and the DJI Mic by any chance?
Is the independent gain control just a correction for a automatic gain, or is it really possible to set the gain manually? Because that is one thing you can't do on RODE or Sennheiser AVX And if it is truly a manual gain, can you set an automatic one? (just curious)
If I understand you correctly then the gain control is manual - controllable both at the receiver and the transmitter end of things. There is no automatic gain where levels increase in response to quietness and vice versa.
I own over 10 of the original rode gos and was thinking of buying the go2. This looks like a promising contender. The only thing is for me is I have tonnes of accessories for the go. But this does seem really nice. I wish I didn’t watch this video now.
Great review of the DJI Mic System….I am going to the Monte Carlo F1 Races in May, 2022 and would like to ensure that I can capture the sounds of the race as well as the the Video with my GoPro 10….can you provide a recommendation.
I think you guys can do well with watching some typography videos. I’m not saying that as a hater. ❤️ You know, so that you can select better fonts for your videos and all.
Stewart, new to your channel the last couple of days and am enjoying the reviews of the DJI. I have reserved one on their website, do you know if this is because it is not yet for sale, or just out of stock?
Welcome to the channel! It looks like this is going to be released much later than we expected when we made these videos. It was meant to be January but that's getting pushed out so no one has one yet! Cheesrs.
Interesting. Keen to know the price. For me there was a bit of a sound difference when placed on the shirt (dead cat not on the shirt mount). Pity there are no lavs included. Until I know the price the new Comica system leads Rode go II because of included lavs. I do like the one stop charging case.
@@pelanth cheers. It seems it's more expensive than the other two options. One of the big features is the direct connection to a smartphone via USBC or lightning. Not really something I'm after and Comica have a still cheaper option on that I believe. Thanks for replying.
Is it possible to input a line - in signal instead of a lavalier mic? I’d like to be able to send a mixer feed wirelessly to a camera or smartphone that is filming. Is this possible?
@@DroneFilmGuide you plugged in MacBook Pro to one of the wireless transmitters and you could hear it being relayed on the receiver? Did I understand correctly? If so that is awesome to know thank you
*2.4 GHz is no good ! It's too low ! 5 GHz is much better. I'm a little surprised DJI didn't include a switchable alternative frequency. This frequency is infamous for wrecking live interviews due to interfearance. (Usually a passing taxi driver gabbing to his dispatch on a his CB radio). Nine times out of ten this won't be a problem until it is and wrecks an essential interview. The backup track recording internally may or may not also suffer from some interfearance if the internal electronics are not shielded enough ? It's a great piece of kit, but there is a compromise.*
Will be interesting to see long-term user feedback on that. I've certainly not experienced interference on the backup track but then that's not to say it couldn't happen. Cheers!
I think I'm going to just stick with my Rode wireless mics. They work perfectly fine for me and I have no signal issues with them. I also don't have interference issues with them being around other devices. They take standard over the counter batteries and I get 2 for the same price as this one mic setup with far superior audio quality.
It’s a 2 transmitter, one stereo receiver kit. So two mics, not one. But you’re right, if you’ve already got a system that works you don’t need to buy a new one.
@@DroneFilmGuide Thank you for your quick respond! But isn't it a problem on the receiver? Doesn't it "limit" the signal from getting real 32bit in the recorder? ua-cam.com/video/EMphl810etg/v-deo.html
So.......if I connect the receiver directly to my A7Siii with the cable, how is the sound recorded? Is it a single audio track or two separate tracks that can be manipulated separately in post? Or one track with where the levels cannot be adjusted independently?
@@DroneFilmGuide Thanks!! Trying to improve audio, especially at noisy restaurants. Looks like my wife and I can both be mic’d up with DJI and the Shure lavs from your other video and get the job done!
I think we identified 4 reasons in this video: ua-cam.com/video/o_PNezNryDQ/v-deo.html 1. Dimmable LEDs. 2. Waveform markers in the Rode Central app that show you where drop outs have occurred. 3. The option of compressed audio recording. 4. PAD on/off. Probably not the most compelling set of reasons TBH.
Nice review - looks like the Rode WG2 might have to be struck off the shopping list/ What is that little tripod you're using for the transmitter? Asking for a friend. Thanks in advance. PS. You have been added to my "people I trust for advice / recommendations" list. It is a short list.
Cheers! It's a mini tripod from DJI that is sold for the Action 2. The Action 2's ball head mount is attached to the tripod and because the transmitter has a magnetic clip, it just sits on top.
I have the lensgo and mirfak systems, but both suffer from numerous problems. I have a vid coming out about it this week a matter of fact. The biggest is the backup audio does not sync with my videos because it is 44100 hertz as opposed to 48000 hertz...at least that is the reason I think it goes out of sync. Do you know what the sample rate is for the DJI?
Yes you can. Plus there's a headphone volume adjustment. Here is our comparison video with the Rode Wireless Go II: ua-cam.com/video/o_PNezNryDQ/v-deo.html
Hi! nice video! just one question that nobody asked or talked about: can this sistem run a lav mic like the sennheiser mk40 that require the phantom power? i tried the lark 150 and they can run that lav but i don't know nothing about this new sistem.
Hey! I believe it's on sale Dec/Jan. On DJI's website I think it says 'reserve now' and then asks for your email so they can notify you when it's ready.
Im returning my Saramonic system and the lensgo wireless system. The case and touchscreen as long as all the redundecys here with the DJI are killer, even the device it self is the best yet. This will be the best wireless mic system on the market. Rode does not include a charging case and i would hate going through their software just to download the files of the transmitters. These showing up as basically HDD is so much better. Looking forward to puchasing these mics
DJI I killing it at the moment with the release of their 4D camera/gimbal and now this. It amazing how they are developing where more established companies should be . Nice review. 👍
@@rafaellima381 you really can’t continuously power these mics with the USB C port? I don’t find the recording files to be a big deal especially being a backup solution- not a primary recording solution. Just 5 years ago, a decent and robust packset kit of 2 transmitters and a dual receiver cost well over $650 and didn’t record anything, lol.
Wow! I had my eye on the Rode Wireless Go 2 for awhile and this blows it right out of the water! Charging case, 250m distance, the smartphone connections. DJI has been killing it!
I have the wireless go 2 and it’s great, but I’ve got my eye on this as well. The ability to plug in to lightning and USB C devices, as well as the charging case is pushing me in this direction.
For sure. DJI have certainly borrowed a few ideas here but they've definitely added to the product also. Personally, the internal memory is huge because in a high-pressure environment like a wedding ceremony, having a backup recording on the go whilst monitoring the audio on the camera is tremendously reassuring.
Nice review, have been impatiently been waiting for someone to review it! Just watched several other reviews also from other creators, and yours is hands down the best. Just subscribed! Some open questions: 1. Do i understand correctly, that the transmitters accept both line-level and mic-level inputs? That would be another huge win over the Rode Go II. 2. How would you compare the sound quality compared to the Rode Go 2? Thanks so much!
Hey! I'll need to check whether the transmitter input is line-level - no mention of that in the documents and I've not tested it. As for sound quality, here is our comparison video: ua-cam.com/video/o_PNezNryDQ/v-deo.html
@@DroneFilmGuide Wow, thank you so much! I already watch the video when i got the notification yesterday, and you could not have done a better comparison! Be sure to put an affiliate link under the video for Amazon Germany when DJI starts to sell them in 1-2 months, i will be sure to buy it then! thanks again!
That haptic feedback for start/stop alone is probably worth the price of admission. Glad I haven't yet bought any of these Rode Wireless Go generation of wireless mics. Looking forward to see what the competition brings up in the next 12 months. For now, I'm happy with my less convenient Boya BY-WM8 dual system. I'm primarily a DOP when it comes to behind the camera work, but in small budget projects, where I'm handling light, camera and sound, the Boya is certainly an affordable and so far (about 6 months) reliable option.
The main issue I have with the rode kit is that it’s internal battery doesn’t last very long after a year of regular use. I’d really prefer removable batteries
yeah have really added value to the rode system love to see a head to head against the version 2 rode that case is def worth some points . But just lost me $509 in Australia?? rode wireless 2 only $358 $150 difference is a huge hurdle damn it. Def need that head to head as they woudl have to be a fair bit better at that price .
😀 We tested 8 lavalier microphones for DJI Mic! Check it out!

DJI is making every content creator tech company step their game up which is great for the industry.
@@cuddleslug547 I think their system and pricing is pretty similar to the new Rode wireless set.
But including the rechargable case solves the hassle of having to hookup individual charge cables and how to store/transport your set without losing or damaging anything.

very impressive set up from DJI, might pick it up. I know that Rode will definitely replicate this setup for Go 3.
The Hollyland Lark has been the RODE GO 2 killer in my opinion. But this does everything it does PLUS redundancy. NICE
My thoughts exactly, the redundancy would save so many shoots.
Just amazing for a drone company to action cam to audio, @DJI is really killing it!
Friend, thank you very much for the review! My English is not very good. But everything is clear without words) tell me, will this microphone work for Instagram streams?

Great thorough review and didn't even realise DJI had this product! The B-roll and real life scenarios helped as well :)
As always Stewart, an outstanding, clear and concise review. Thank you for your efforts.
If you record with it on our shirt, can't you boost the audio levels to compensate?
😂 😂 The Range test is extremely hilarious

Stewart, new to your channel the last couple of days and am enjoying the reviews of the DJI. I have reserved one on their website, do you know if this is because it is not yet for sale, or just out of stock?
Welcome to the channel! It looks like this is going to be released much later than we expected when we made these videos. It was meant to be January but that's getting pushed out so no one has one yet! Cheesrs.
@@DroneFilmGuide ah thanks for the info guys, that’s good to know that I’m not missing out 😙
This looks amazing, thanks for the review 👍
Interesting. Keen to know the price. For me there was a bit of a sound difference when placed on the shirt (dead cat not on the shirt mount). Pity there are no lavs included. Until I know the price the new Comica system leads Rode go II because of included lavs. I do like the one stop charging case.
Several US photography retailers have preorders listed for $329. (B&H, Adorama and I'm sure others)
@@pelanth cheers. It seems it's more expensive than the other two options. One of the big features is the direct connection to a smartphone via USBC or lightning. Not really something I'm after and Comica have a still cheaper option on that I believe. Thanks for replying.
Is it possible to input a line - in signal instead of a lavalier mic? I’d like to be able to send a mixer feed wirelessly to a camera or smartphone that is filming. Is this possible?
I tested it with a Macbook Pro and it works fine.
@@DroneFilmGuide you plugged in MacBook Pro to one of the wireless transmitters and you could hear it being relayed on the receiver? Did I understand correctly? If so that is awesome to know thank you
*2.4 GHz is no good ! It's too low ! 5 GHz is much better. I'm a little surprised DJI didn't include a switchable alternative frequency. This frequency is infamous for wrecking live interviews due to interfearance. (Usually a passing taxi driver gabbing to his dispatch on a his CB radio). Nine times out of ten this won't be a problem until it is and wrecks an essential interview. The backup track recording internally may or may not also suffer from some interfearance if the internal electronics are not shielded enough ? It's a great piece of kit, but there is a compromise.*
Will be interesting to see long-term user feedback on that. I've certainly not experienced interference on the backup track but then that's not to say it couldn't happen. Cheers!
I think I'm going to just stick with my Rode wireless mics. They work perfectly fine for me and I have no signal issues with them. I also don't have interference issues with them being around other devices. They take standard over the counter batteries and I get 2 for the same price as this one mic setup with far superior audio quality.
It’s a 2 transmitter, one stereo receiver kit. So two mics, not one. But you’re right, if you’ve already got a system that works you don’t need to buy a new one.
It's a shame dji thinks the iphone is the only phone out there. Does the phone connection come with USB for other phone types?
Yes, it also comes with USB-C.
Great review! I want one now.
Did you say this was paid promotion?
Did anyone catch the manufacture of that little tripod/mic stand?
I cant find it my local store,seems only sell in some region. :/
It's not actually been released yet.
Is it possible to capture real 32bit float when you connect the reciever to something like a Tascam x8?
Sure thing, if the sound recorder captures 32-bit float then the microphone is just that, a microphone.
@@DroneFilmGuide Thank you for your quick respond! But isn't it a problem on the receiver? Doesn't it "limit" the signal from getting real 32bit in the recorder?

Great video, it looks like a really useful product. The adapters look like they might fit the Osmo Pocket, do you know if thats the case?
Cheers! They look the same but they're not intended to be compatible.
So.......if I connect the receiver directly to my A7Siii with the cable, how is the sound recorded? Is it a single audio track or two separate tracks that can be manipulated separately in post? Or one track with where the levels cannot be adjusted independently?
You can choose by setting either Mono or Stereo on the receiver. Mono you'll get two separate tracks. Stereo it will be merged.
@@DroneFilmGuide Thanks!! Trying to improve audio, especially at noisy restaurants. Looks like my wife and I can both be mic’d up with DJI and the Shure lavs from your other video and get the job done!
I’m sold on this vs the rode wireless go ii but is there any reason to go for the rode
I think we identified 4 reasons in this video: ua-cam.com/video/o_PNezNryDQ/v-deo.html
1. Dimmable LEDs.
2. Waveform markers in the Rode Central app that show you where drop outs have occurred.
3. The option of compressed audio recording.
4. PAD on/off.
Probably not the most compelling set of reasons TBH.
Nice review - looks like the Rode WG2 might have to be struck off the shopping list/
What is that little tripod you're using for the transmitter? Asking for a friend. Thanks in advance.
PS. You have been added to my "people I trust for advice / recommendations" list. It is a short list.
Cheers! It's a mini tripod from DJI that is sold for the Action 2. The Action 2's ball head mount is attached to the tripod and because the transmitter has a magnetic clip, it just sits on top.
Nice review, thanks. When will this be available?
Dec/Jan I believe for $329.
I have the lensgo and mirfak systems, but both suffer from numerous problems. I have a vid coming out about it this week a matter of fact. The biggest is the backup audio does not sync with my videos because it is 44100 hertz as opposed to 48000 hertz...at least that is the reason I think it goes out of sync. Do you know what the sample rate is for the DJI?
Thanks for the heads up on this. DJI sample rate is 48kHz. Cheers!
They sound great but it does something to your New Jersey accent. Odd.
Can you monitor properly with headphones straight from the receiver?
I know with the Røde GOII it’s really quiet
Yes you can. Plus there's a headphone volume adjustment. Here is our comparison video with the Rode Wireless Go II: ua-cam.com/video/o_PNezNryDQ/v-deo.html
Hi! nice video! just one question that nobody asked or talked about: can this sistem run a lav mic like the sennheiser mk40 that require the phantom power?
i tried the lark 150 and they can run that lav but i don't know nothing about this new sistem.
Good question. I shouldn't think it's meant to deliver phantom power but will try it if we have a suitable mic.
Wow - need this. Anyone have any idea for when they will be available in the UK?
Hey! I believe it's on sale Dec/Jan. On DJI's website I think it says 'reserve now' and then asks for your email so they can notify you when it's ready.
mid jan
I JUST bought the Rode Wireless Go II. Dammit.
Still a great system!
Very smart design. Looking really handy!
This is perfect. DJI reminds me of how Apple used to be.
DJI>Apple
DJI reminds me that Apple is still the company that good companies try to emulate.
Let's go Apple!!
Apple was never close. Apple marketing overinflated the perception of their technology.
@@zshn : How so, Zeeshan? Could you give an example?
Im returning my Saramonic system and the lensgo wireless system. The case and touchscreen as long as all the redundecys here with the DJI are killer, even the device it self is the best yet. This will be the best wireless mic system on the market. Rode does not include a charging case and i would hate going through their software just to download the files of the transmitters. These showing up as basically HDD is so much better. Looking forward to puchasing these mics
DJI I killing it at the moment with the release of their 4D camera/gimbal and now this. It amazing how they are developing where more established companies should be . Nice review. 👍
Their Action 2 is a bit of a bummer, though. We want an actual action 2, not just a poorly executed idea of an action 2.
@@rafaellima381 you really can’t continuously power these mics with the USB C port? I don’t find the recording files to be a big deal especially being a backup solution- not a primary recording solution. Just 5 years ago, a decent and robust packset kit of 2 transmitters and a dual receiver cost well over $650 and didn’t record anything, lol.
Wow! I had my eye on the Rode Wireless Go 2 for awhile and this blows it right out of the water! Charging case, 250m distance, the smartphone connections. DJI has been killing it!
I have the wireless go 2 and it’s great, but I’ve got my eye on this as well. The ability to plug in to lightning and USB C devices, as well as the charging case is pushing me in this direction.
Crap i just bought the wigo2
China taking Ovaaaa!
Same!☝🏼Glad I didn’t pull trigger on Go II.
Looks remarkably similar to last year's Hollyland Lark 150! However, the internal memory is a nice addition 🙂👍
For sure. DJI have certainly borrowed a few ideas here but they've definitely added to the product also. Personally, the internal memory is huge because in a high-pressure environment like a wedding ceremony, having a backup recording on the go whilst monitoring the audio on the camera is tremendously reassuring.
Nice to see MrAlexTech on here.
I’m a huge fan of the case, the Rode wireless go really misses that
I'm sure they'll respond with a Wireless Go 3 but for now, these are very welcome additions by DJI.
Yeah this case is a game changer in a way I always have issues seeing my display on the Wireless Go II it's really hard to see.
Theirs a second party case for the Rode Go 2 that does this. It charges 2 transmitters and 1 receiver, twice. Stores them inside. I use it.
@@mverick160 link? 😃
@@mverick160 I saw that in an Epic Light Media video recently, it looks nice! I wonder how it stacks up to the DJI case though.
Nice review, have been impatiently been waiting for someone to review it! Just watched several other reviews also from other creators, and yours is hands down the best. Just subscribed! Some open questions: 1. Do i understand correctly, that the transmitters accept both line-level and mic-level inputs? That would be another huge win over the Rode Go II. 2. How would you compare the sound quality compared to the Rode Go 2? Thanks so much!
Hey! I'll need to check whether the transmitter input is line-level - no mention of that in the documents and I've not tested it. As for sound quality, here is our comparison video: ua-cam.com/video/o_PNezNryDQ/v-deo.html
@@DroneFilmGuide Wow, thank you so much! I already watch the video when i got the notification yesterday, and you could not have done a better comparison! Be sure to put an affiliate link under the video for Amazon Germany when DJI starts to sell them in 1-2 months, i will be sure to buy it then! thanks again!
That haptic feedback for start/stop alone is probably worth the price of admission. Glad I haven't yet bought any of these Rode Wireless Go generation of wireless mics. Looking forward to see what the competition brings up in the next 12 months. For now, I'm happy with my less convenient Boya BY-WM8 dual system. I'm primarily a DOP when it comes to behind the camera work, but in small budget projects, where I'm handling light, camera and sound, the Boya is certainly an affordable and so far (about 6 months) reliable option.

I've literally just purchased the wireless go 2. Damn
The main issue I have with the rode kit is that it’s internal battery doesn’t last very long after a year of regular use. I’d really prefer removable batteries
"...doesn't last very long..." is a very vague statement. So, how long does it last now as compared to when you first got it?
I think you can replace the battery cell on your own if its possible to open the main case.
yeah have really added value to the rode system love to see a head to head against the version 2 rode that case is def worth some points . But just lost me $509 in Australia?? rode wireless 2 only $358 $150 difference is a huge hurdle damn it. Def need that head to head as they woudl have to be a fair bit better at that price .
