Wow! Totally respect your viewpoints, but disagree on the conclusion. Having both in hand, I find, as you did, that the Mic2’s are objectively better on multiple important fronts. 10bit and bluetooth alone are huge upgrades. I also greatly prefer the new metal case (that now latches shut) and separate pouch for lavs and cords. Anywho, totally appreciate your opinion just don’t share it.
Interesting review! I can heartily agree on the "foot" for the receiver, as there's no way to tighten it down into a cold-shoe to keep it from sliding around or falling out. Nor can we remove it if we don't want it, or clip it to a cable if the camera cold shoe has a light, etc. I just don't get it. (Hey, @DJIsupportglobal, how about a screw thread on the top of the receiver so we can tighten the foot through the receiver if needed) Aside from that, you listed all the reasons the DJI Mic 2 replaced my previous mic, - internal record, and multiple ways to both activate it, and see that it's on, prevent accidental off. - the bag means I can easily keep ALL my accessories. Yes, the charging brick - like pretty much every other kit - only houses the transmitters and receivers, but the divided pouch is a big win. It can even carry extra stuff, like a third white transmitter, so it's handy when needed. - 32-bit float, big step up from mics that don't have it. - visual touch screen menu, makes it easy to figure out and use the advanced features. (I will say that the interface is not consistent, in that switching mono to stereo / split track requires tapping ON the setting to change it, as opposed to other settings where you toggle back and forth between two icons) - controls and visual status on the transmitter itself. - can control the transmitter settings from the receiver Negatives: The receiver feels light and flimsy compared to the transmitters - agree but don't care. The transmitters have clear cases - agree but don't care Non-replaceable batteries - I haven't found one yet with user-replaceable batteries Charging case is bigger - true, but it's smaller than others. Receivers are still pretty big and heavy - true and nothing we can do about it. Receivers have DJI branding front and back - true. But I can use a lav if it really bothers me. Other advantages: Slick method of using the mic plug to hold the windscreen - win Clip and or magnet attachment - win That bluetooth direct alternate way of using the mic capability - win Includes lavs and other accessories, including receiver direct connect to phones - win. Noise reduction that is subtle - win Charge case also auto pairs the mics Charge case also "auto on and record" the mics You can hear the DJI mic on all 21 videos I made on the NAB show floor on my channel, and in two of them, there was so much RF interference that I had to rely on the microphone's internally recorded audio- which is why I picked the DJI Mic 2, and recorded double sound for every video, because I fully expected that to be an issue at the Broadcasters Convention.
You must have a very benevolent supplier who will allow you to return goods many months later because you don't like the size of its case, or the design of its cold-shoe mount. The standalone Mic 2 gadgets are excellent, I have four of them and use them with a pair of DJI OSMO Pocket 3 cameras, an iPhone and an Insta360 X4. I also the DJI Mic2 kit and use the receiver with a Canon R8 and an old 5D MkII and a YoloBox Pro. I find having the kit to be a useful addition. When the Mic 2 is linked to either the receiver or the OSMO Pocket 3 the built-in Noise Reduction is often good enough to get rid of or reduce background noise if I'm not editing the video and posting somewhere directly. The DJI pouches are wonderfully made too and the fact you can get all the Mic2 kit including its charging case, is wonderful. I 'label' my DJI kit with a non-removable AirTag holder and engraved AirTag with what's in the bag. I think you'll regret the return. Don't do it.
@@mirrorlessmemoryah true. Turns out I did film this in January tho, i just waited a while before posting it because there were too many other things to post 😅
What you need is a good old Lectrosonics CR185 system from back in the 90s. The were big, clunky aluminum boxes that ate 9v batteries like candy. They might give you fuzzy audio or drop-outs during live shots, sometimes even when you had line-of-sight. And God forbid the talent drops the transmitter. If one hits the floor, it will have to go back to headquarters in Rancho Rio for a few weeks and cost you a few Benjamins.
32-bit float, bluetooth and that wheel on the RX were the only real improvements here indeed. The noise reduction isn't that useful IMO. And for pairing the set with a camera, there is indeed better mic sets out there. But for pairing them with the Osmo Pocket 3, Osmo Action 4 or the Insta360 cameras these are really good .. but you indeed don't need the RX for that.
LOL I just bought one because of DJI Mic 2 MI Shoe Camera Adapter (for Sony Camera) So NO Cables! The advantage is you avoid the poor audio input that all of theses camera have that don't have XLR ports!
The new Sony adapter is a game changer. This plus the wired lavs is a game changer. I’m a union cameraman/ documentarian based out of LA and swear by these mics. I’m a pro film maker not a UA-cam gear reviewer 👍🏼 Good catchy title I guess……
Hi, I had a quick question about DJI mic 2. If I manually set audio gain of my transmitor to 4 db and also select 32 bit float option then what option is the transmitor recording audio in by default ?
Everyone is upset with non-replaceable batteries. Honestly, is everyone planning on using these devices 10 years from now? There's a good chance a new improved device will come out and all the tech folks will purchase it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Plus, I have a feeling a pretty healthy chunk of us folks interested in these things aren’t bashful about opening them up if need be and soldering a new battery in place when that time comes.
The battery aspect……yeah I’ll keep my DJI Mic OG ….but I thought you was going to say something about Bluetooth latency issues but nah I’m good with the OG
Bro is not good at complaining and I'm not sure how to feel about that, LOL. It's almost adorable. Either way, I'm definitely getting one. Especially over the Rode Wireless GO II.
I am as as i was before the video as to what the big issues are... these mics are amazing and they sound better than the mic 1 set. As someone who works woth recording, you should know that youll at least have a backpack on or so to carry your set up
I am considering the DJI Mic 2 and looking at all view points. Your negative review of this product validates the reasons to buy this product. Well played 😂
Not sure why you'd say this is clickbait if the title of the video literally describes the contents of the video. But if you'd prefer, I can avoid talking about why I returned a product I bought in the future.
My dji charger got so hot to the point it almost burned a whole In my desk! They looked at it and said I have a small water damage to the usb plug off the mic - not the charger, usb not used for charging in this case. I refuse to pay for replacement. Never again
I don't have the DJI Mic 1. The DJI Mic 2 is my first set of wireless mics. 32-bit float? Cool, but I just record directly to my phone and use that. It's a nice backup. Thankfully I haven't had to use it. Cold shoe is annoying when I use this on my phone. It's annoying to have to take the receiver and transmitters out in a particular order and at a particular speed (not too fast) or they aren't sync'd. Zip-case is too bulky and doesn't fit much. Overall DJI Mic 2 has been super convenient though, compared to my phone mic.
Thanks, I try and avoid products built around planned obsolescence engineering principles. Hard-wired non-replaceable batteries are a deal breaker for me.
I just don't get it,why do you need to set your standard so high to make it impossible for anything to live upto it, this video gives viewers a whole lot of nitpicking and nothing substantial , the only thing might agree with is the high price but I am more than happy to pay a bit more and get what works flawlessly with my mini 3 drone.
I recently purchased the Shure MoveMic kit and love it. Pairs directly to iPhone, or you can pair to receiver. Noise reduction etc built in, smaller footprint. I have a DJI Wireless 1 kit, and will probably stop using it.
So you're returning the unit that was sent to you for free? Is that correct? I do like how it pairs immediately with the Pocket 3 but I go the third one when I bought the Creator Combo for the Pocket 3. I paid for the Mic2 2 pack initially as well.
@@aaronpk Sorry I missed that. I heard you say I paid for the white one. I know dozens of content creators who were sent the unit before it shipped globally.
so I wonder why you missed out on a number of things and yes the mic 1 battery is the same, good luck on your choice, I had four returns four new ones and same concerns for me. quality walked out the door years ago
What a ridiculous video. The majority spent praising the product whilst failing to mention the two distinct bluetooth ahd radio forms of communicating back to the receiver/camera and then making inconsequential criticisms that the poster feels justify his clickbait headline. He then mentions that he will still be buying the white model!
Everyone is so sensitive these days. It's really not clickbait if the title is "why i'm returning the DJI Mic 2" and the video is an explanation of why and the outcome of the video is that I did in fact return it.
I had a Mic 2 and I have also sent it back. The audio sync drift on long recordings on the Pocket 3 became a real faff. I can't deliver recordings to my clients with a variable lack of lipsync. DJI admit the different clock speeds are the cause - but they say it is 'normal' and they have no solution other than correct in post. I bought the Ankerworks dual mike system as alternative.
Out of curiosity, how long are the recordings where you've had that problem? I've been using the Mic 2 with the Pocket 3 for The House Files podcast, but we've been recording at most 30-40 minutes at a time and I didn't notice any sync issues.
@@aaronpk any continuous recording over 20 minutes. After 60 minutes the cumulative drift is out by 600ms or so. DJI say is is only 100ms but of course it depends on how long your clip is. It is very obvious to all viewers when playback in QT player or FCP... although playback within the P3 does not show drift. Other users have reported drop outs of half a second - maybe co-inciding with joining of large file size clips. This may have been corrected by firmware update. My sync drift shows on latest firmware version.
strange, I just checked the end of a 30 minute recording in QT and it looks fine. This is the audio track from the mic recorded into the Pocket 3 directly. (I haven't checked whether the separate wav file from the mic stays in sync)
@@aaronpk I used just the MP4 not the Wav. Mic 2 and P3 creator Combo. DJI initially said they couldn't emulate the issue, then later admitted it was a problem but acceptable. Other users have report sync drift even with the Mic 1
You were unlucky to get one with a clock that was not as tight as most but it didn't fail the inspection process. I help a guy that had the same problem told him to return and get another and sure enough the new one is MUCH MUCH better. It's rare but it happens. Like the longest clip I taken is less than 10 minutes. I just order a full set because of the new Sony clip that will BYPASS having a cable so it will plug into the Sony HotShoe adapter
I hate that the battery can't be replaced. Even Apple let's you replace the battery. Granted most people use an Apple battery instead of an after-market one. That's the reason I'm not spending $300-500 for mics that may be dead in a few years and that I don't use on a regular basis.
Apple doesn’t really design their devices with battery replacement in mind. You definitely can do it by opening the device up and doing it anyway by unplugging/plugging fragile ribbon cables or soldering… but at that point any device with a battery can have it replaced in that way, even these DJI mics.
I can't get them to overwrite old recordings it just says full need to empty all 8GB and format mic storage first.. what's the setting to just loop overwrite old recordings all the time? I wish it would mute automatically when I am silent as thw interviewer as I worry about echo recording.. I wish it could auto backup recordings via usb or even via bluetooth to set device perhaps while charging. I'd like to buy mic nr3, nr4, nr5 and that they all auto sync via app or something even to manage all extra microphones on pocket3 directly. Pocket3 internal mic backup recording if I could automatically use as third mic in sync auto mute when I dont speak as interviewer interviewing two people with the two wireless mics simultaneously. I wish built in mic of mic2 picked up less noisy tradeshow people talking type of noise, wish the mic for as cardioid or how its called the type that mainly only records voice of person wearing the mic. Perhaps even to have option type of noise cancelling needed. I see pocket3 setting has some kind of noise cancelling I need to check if that does what I need.
