Which one would you say is the best?
@@linatuartMy ears says the Shure MVL but I could be wrong 😂
This video is an absolute godsend. There are an overwhelming number of positive reviews and a very small percentage of negative reviews for the DJI Mic. The issue in almost every single negative review is solved by this video. Nicely done.
You guys just saved me from the severe heartbreak of buying the wrong lapel mic for the DJI Wireless Microphone. I am beyond grateful for this video. If you stop making content, your absence will be greatly felt online.
What lav mic did you buy for your Dji transmitter?
@@RomainBessong thanks brother🙏🏽
Hola no hablo el idioma me podrías decir cuál fue el lavalier que mejor le va al Dji mic
Thank you for testing all these mics Stewart! I don't even own these DJI mics but I know how beneficial it can be for the owners. Imagine the frustration if someone had bought a Rode Lav thinking it was a high quality mic and it was completely useless to them. But what annoys me is that, for $329, DJI could had just thrown in a pair of compatible Lav mics in the package so there is no chance to get it wrong. Come on, DJI !!!
For sure, it's a bit odd. The Røde Lavalier Go is a brilliant mic and it works perfectly with the Røde Wireless Go II. We tested 9 mics with the RWG2 and only 1 had problematic interference: ua-cam.com/video/G0EbeF0HP2U/v-deo.html
No interference with the DJI mic and my rode lavalier go ! It’s a perfect combo !
I've honestly never paid this much attention to a wireless mic but once DJI drops something, it sudddenly becomes interesting. This mic looks like the real deal!
I am for SHURE buying the dji mic when it goes on sale, almost bought the rode wireless go ii but the transmitter gain adjustment is what made me not purchase the rode system, also the case for easy transport. As for these lav mics if you have 300e to spend on the wireless system don't skimp out on the lav mic... for me the SHURE lav will be a purchase alongside the dji mic. great series on the DJI mic probably the best coverage on YT, great work.
Thank you!
So glad I watched this video before buying the DJI mic! You saved my from a massive headache! Love your channel’s content 💯🫡🙌🏼
I like it man, straight to the point. I also like that none of the mics were sent by the companies. That makes it hard to believe the tests. Ordering the Shure now
I have the original RODE Wireless Go and have suffered with interference with different Lavalier microphones. The solution was a shielded extension cable for the 3.5 mm jack. Bring the microphone wire down one side of your body, use the shielded extension cable and have the transmitter on the other side of your body. This seems to create enough, separation to keep the microphone lead from acting as an antenna.
Stewart, you say that the source of interference is the DJI receiver because the interference is only present when it is turned on. Whilst this is likely, it is not necessarily so. Let me try and explain why. If the communication between the transmitter and receiver is a duplex link, it is possible that the transmitter does not start transmitting until it ‘hears’ that the receiver is turned on. If the transmitter detects that the receiver is turned on, the transmitter starts to transmit and causes the interference. So when the receiver is turned off, the transmitter detects this and stops transmitting. So, in this scenario, the interference could be coming from the transmitter and not the receiver. This would require a duplex link between the transmitter and receiver. If the link is only a simplex link, then yes, the source of interference is more likely to be the transmitter. If it’s a digital communication link between the transmitter and receiver, then a duplex link is quite likely. I hope this makes sense!!
Observationally, you also stated that if you increase the distance between the receiver and transmitter, the interference does NOT go away. This strongly suggests that the interference is not originating from the receiver because if it was, the inverse square law tells us that the interference should decrease with distance. You also stated that the interference stays the same as you increase the distance between the receiver and transmitter. This is because while you were doing that test, the distance between the transmitter and microphone remained constant and hence the interference. In other words all of this is consistent with the transmitter, and not the receiver, being the cause of interference!! Hope all of this makes sense!!
Useful feedback thank you! Makes sense as it's the transmitter that has to transmit the RF signal (up to 250m in the case of DJI's stated range) so that's likely to make it the source of the interference, albeit it's the switching on of the receiver that triggers the issue. Cheers!
Thank you for doing this, perfect timing too. I’m thinking of buying the DJI microphone system because of your videos.
You did us all a favor in discovering the receiver interference with the lav mic cord. Thank you!
Which one was the best?
Talk about bespoke content. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and it's such a well made video. Fucking props to this guy for nailing the niche
Thanks for this video. I just orderd the DJI setup and am in need of a LAV mic. This was so helpful in making my decision. As I'm using this on a professional level, it made sense to just how ith the Shure unit. I don't have time to play with what is working and what is not and why... Again, this video was so helpful. Thank you!! This was an easy subscription decision. Keep up the great work.
Hi, still good after months? No issue with MVL-DJI pairing? Thanks
this is sooooooooooo helpful
This is exactly what i needed , thank so much for taking the time and testing each one of these mics with the DJI mic system.. you saved me a lot of time..Subbed & One Love brother
oh man, thanks for this video. will be SUPER curious how the newest Rode Lavalier 2 fair against the Shure.
Thanks! Because of the locking 3.5mm jack on the Rode Lavalier 2, I don't think it will work with the DJI Mic unless you can find an adapter.
@@DroneFilmGuide The locking part could be unscrewed, so it will connect. It would be interesting to see if it makes the interference just like the Rode 1 does. Any possibility you could try it?
Great comparison. Will you consider repeating this for the new DJI Mic 2 that's currently available with the DJI Pocket 3 creator combo but is likely to be released separately soon? Will be interesting to see whether there's any differences in using each of these mics with the updated transmitter.
Absolutely.
One year later and still helping out. Thank you for saving me money!
This was the most straightforward and clear review I have ever found, and I'm extremely grateful for it. As an absolute beginner this was a bloody godsend - insanely helpful and you put it into ways I can understand. I've never subbed, liked and commented on a video so fast! Many thanks.
I didn't realize the road Mike had 32 bit float point! 😊 I love DJI products they're usually super well made. I liked how the receivers were so small. I'm regretting it a tiny bit though. 😊
The DJI mic has just become available in South Africa, I ordered mine yesterday. Now I know which Lav to get. Thank you!
Thank god someone nailed this problem. I sent my DJI mic kit back because of terrible noise.
A wonderfully helpful video for an audio noob!! Thank you!!!
We always use RODE I am glad I happened across this video, I used your link and grabbed a couple of the Shure's
Whats the small tripod your using in the video ? :) Also do you have any suggestion for an handheld mike lavalier for the Hollyland Landmark Max ?
Sooooo....I purchased the Power DeWIse dual mic kit based on this video and I'm happy to say the mics sound great paired with the DJI mic kit. HOWEVER....and let me know if anyone else has this issue...When I got the kit, I was surprised to see the use of magnets along with the mic clips. But I thought it might be a flexible solution to mic'ing people. The PROBLEM is that ALL of the magnets in my kit repel each other.....so it's useless to attach the mic unit to the actual clip. I have to do this weird clipping to the cable thing to actually make it work properly. Has anyone else experienced this and/ or had resolved by the company ?
Regarding the issue with inserting the plugs with locking ring into the DJI Mic, try using a short TRS extension cable between the lav and the DJI.
Off to try it now...
@@DroneFilmGuide Did it work?
Just to add to the list of Lavaliers that don't work with the dji - the Tascam TM-10L - nice mic but no amount of gain increase on the dji gets to levels that are in any way useful. Bought the Shure as recommended - works like a dream - thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much for this! I did want to mention though that I have the PowerDeWise mic and I've been having interference issues - I would have never known that was the problem though, if it weren't for you, and I probably would have gone out and bought the Rode Lavalier Go, so you saved me even more pain and anguish!
Hola no hablo el idioma me podrías decir cuál es el micrófono lavalier que mejor le va a los dji
Thanks much Stewart. This is the video I have been searching for to get the information you have provided here. You have answered a huge question for me. Thanks again.
Yes! I've had this problem with nearly every digital 2.4 system but haven't seen it acknowledged.
Nice. Thank you. I was able to score two new Shure MVL mics for 35.00 dollars each!
Stewart! Thank you for this video! You saved me a good deal of time, and no doubt frustration, picking the perfect lav mic. Spent the little extra for the Shure and cannot be happier! Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Question for you about the Shures - what TRRS to TRS adaptor do you use?
@@ShawnRead1 I use no adapter. These work straight out of the box. I’m in the middle of shooting a documentary and have been using the Shures paired with the DJI, couldn’t be happier. Spend the little extra. You will be glad you did. Hope this helps.
@@familyridesatl This helps a lot, thank you for the information and good luck with the documentary!
Thank you for share your feedback 🙏🏼 do you any idea why Shure Mics unavailable online. I checked in B&H and eBay, is there any new version replaced Shure MVL ?
I could just hug you. Thanks so much, you've saved me time and money.
In my testing I also had the interference sound from the Rode Lavalier Go but the reason for it was that it comes standard as a trrs, you need to buy a trrs to trs adapter and then the interference goes away.
W quality and thank you for saving us all from the interference challenges!
Great video, thanks for the full production, hope you’re getting sponsorship soon if you don’t already.
Fantastic review! Straight to the point and you've considered other countries as well, not just the UK. For me it looks like the Shure MVL mic is the winner!
Very helpful. Just bought the DJI wireless mic and haven't had time to test out my lav mics. Just so happens that I already own the MVL so you saved me some time! Thanks
I have the VoJoPi mic (an unbranded version - you will note that in the amazon images not all of the plugs have logos on the,...it is available from other vendors). Quality is great, and I use it with the DJI Pocket 2 wirless mic and it works without a hitch. Bargain to pickup and recommended. Only negative is that one of the aligator clips did break easily when testing - but there are two in the kit, and I have others that also fit, so no biggy.
Can you share a link for the one you have please? Curious to see if it is sold in the US market and we can add it to the list. Like you say, build quality and durability is an issue for these cheaper mics so depending on their intended use.
I recently tried out the Rode Lavalier mic and ran into a similar issue. However, I discovered a solution when I decided to use my older Rode Rodelink Lavalier mic instead. I removed the golden nut (otherwise, it wouldn't fit properly), and it worked flawlessly. No more noise! I ended up ordering another Rodelink from Amazon, which also worked perfectly. I recommend giving the Rode Rodelink Lavalier mic a try. Enjoy your Rode + DJI Mini experience! :)
Thanks for this tip. How did you remove the nut?
@@elliotnomanchesI just unscrewed it anticlockwise.
Thank you so much! I was so disappointed when I used my Rode mic and heard the interference. I assumed it was a problem with the DJI mic. I’m going to order the MVL right now! Much appreciated. -Ed
Thank you for the heads up regarding the Rode lav! I ordered the Shure as a result. Thanks so much!
I wonder if a firmware update on the DJI Mic system can fix that interference with the Rode Lav. This DJI Mic system is a direct competitor to the Rode Go II system and I'm guessing a LOT of people will want to use the Rode Lav or newer Rode Lav 2 with it.
it's more of a hardware-problem.
which lav should i use if i’m filming outdoors in the woods?
I use the Rode Lav Go with my DJI Mics & they work just fine.
@@stheshooter lucky. I have two lav go's and they have very noisy RF sadly. Great mics when not paired with the DJI.
@@GwilymJames I spoke to soon...lol they worked fine for 2 gigs & now they don't 🤦♂️
Well, this is exactly what I needed. Bought recently DJI Mic and I've been looking for lavalier mic for that. Thanks a lot, you saved me from the pain cause initially I wanted to buy Rode lav.
Finally I went with Shure MVL, will see how it performs.
Thanks!
So. how it performs?
@@Perillustris thanks for response! It picks up a slightly 'shallower' sound than, for example, the dji mic itself but is much less noticeable. Works great with that set from DJI.
@@igor_wnek Thanks, I bought one too. I like it.
Fantastic demo Stewart, certainly has saved me a lot of searching. Thank You.
Great video man! Super detailed but not too wordy, gave me exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate!
Yes
Odd, I don't get any RF interference with my Rode Lavalier Go with the RX turned on or off. I prefer the better Bass tones on it compared to my Shure MVL. Great video as usual Stewart.
Could it be that it got fixed with some sort of firmware update, if that is even possible?
I have Rode Wireless GO II with Rode Lavaliers and want to switch to DJI Mic but keep the lavaliers..
And this video keeps me from buying the DJI Mic system 😅
@@mmargan I think a lot of the reviews from 6 months ago were using pre-production versions of the kit. My DJI Mic with the Lag Go purchased two weeks ago also doesn't suffer from any interference. So perhaps they added better shielding between the pre-prod and production versions....
@@richdavis1976 great info, thank you!
Love your videos. Strong clear concise information. I wonder if the Rode system would give the same results. Cheers
Thank you! No, the Rode doesn't suffer from lav interference. We tested all 8 mics again and even when the DJI receiver and transmitter were switched on right next the Rode transmitter and receiver we couldn't get interference. If these results are the same for everyone then it's a big win for the Rode if you don't want to have to worry about lav interference.
I like that you cranked the gain up for some of them. Really hoping this system shows up before my shoot at the end of January. I'm excited about the features and apparent quality of this dji mic. Reviews on the Shure indicate that the cord is pretty flimsy. Does that seem accurate in your observations?
About transmit distance - Seems like there are 2 versions: One forUS (FCC) with higher power output (250m distance) and one for EU market (CE) with lower transmit power output (160m distance)
Thank you, I have been using the Sony one for years, does the job well, I havent switched over to wireless yet, but thanks for the heads up, now at least I know i need to change that as part of the upgrade. Great comparison. thanks
Thank you for this very thorough test! Would love to see more content with the DJI mic paired with other DJI products like the OM5
which lav should i use if i’m filming outdoors in the woods?
I just got my DJI mic yesterday and looking for different accessories, I absolutely love the mic, I would just like a smaller lav to be visible for any face videos.
I can confirm everything said here about Shure MVL with DJI Mic - and I bought the Shure lav AFTER this video. So, highly useful indeed.
Do you need an adapter to connect it to the DJI? or do you connect it directly? Thanks
@@jennycuenca700 directly, no adapter. A year of commercial work, no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended.
Thanks!! 🙌🏻👏🏻🤗
Would love to see an updated version of this with the DJI mic 2! I hope they fixed the issue.
Some feedback on your Synco S6E wired lav recommendation. I was putting off buying the Sony blogging camera, so I bought that mic and plugged it into my Canon camcorder. I literally could hear a sports radio broadcast being recorded better than I could my voice underneath it. Don't buy this if you're in the US🤦♂️It's a better antenna here than it is a microphone...lol
Very interesting and useful! I thought I was the only one plagued with that RF interference issue until you showed up with these results. Since even the best of these lav. microphones can only scrape 60dB SNR, some kind of noise reduction in post seems unavoidable.
Thanks for taking the time (and money) to do this test. Very nice.
I've been dying with another system getting interference. I paired Sennheiser lav mics with a Saramonic dual transmitter system and it's been really iffy. I thought it was mobile phone or wifi interference, I had no idea it could be the mics themselves! Great tip. For ease of use I might go for this Sure / DJI combo, I love having the safety track on the receiver and the internal recording. Great video thanks!
I have rather weird setup with Sanken COS-11d (which I've got some years ago in rather battered state really cheap, but they still go on despite their cables being heavily injured) and various Saramonic wireless systems. Actually no problem with interference but since my COS-11d-s have Sennheiser screw-on nuts on them, I have to use cheap Apple-style headphone splitters to make them work on non-threadlock systems. They work with UwMic-9 (an analog system with a threadlock, proved itself to be at least as reliable as Sennheiser ew100 G3) and the original Saramonic Blink 500 (great stuff for the money if not for the delay... but really reliable, not a single signal loss in 3 years in very congested 2.4GHz environments). I also have Blink 500 Pro (the first version of it) which is a huge disappointment: sudden signal dropouts, total incompatibility with COS-11d (just doesn't work) and self-discharge of their charging box.
So I'm thinking about retiring both 2.4 Saramonic systems and getting the DJI system instead... by far the reviews are convincing.
Maybe even getting Shure MVL lavs too (although they are twice more expensive where I actually am...)
Purchased the sure via your link so hope it helps towards your Chanel. Thank you very much for doing this as I was unsure what lav mics to get with this system. Liked and subscribed also, very informative and straight to the point 👌🏽
Thank you and welcome to the channel!!
Hello! Did you need to get a TRRS to TRS adaptor for the Shure?
Thanks very much for the great vid mate ! I bought the shure MVL ! and subscribed to your channel. I am in real estate here in Miami Florida...all the best for 2022 !
thank you sir! great info
Thanks so much for putting this vid together - super helpful content - I keep getting questions on my channel about lavs for DJI Mic and I always refer them to your vid :)
Quality video this and will save a hell of a lot of head scratching and headaches for people.
Hello. Thanks for this in-depth review. Have you had the chance of testing the Rode Lavalier II with the DJI Mic ?
Great video. I wish I would have watched it and your other video describing how the sennheiser m2 mics with locking mechanism do not work with the DJI Wireless Mic set before my first shoot with them. We had to use the DJI kit without external mics.
(****UPDATE**** I did experience intermittent buzzing every so often with the RØDE Lavalier Go Mics. It wasn't super loud and had the same frequency all the time so I'm hoping I can remove it in post. I think the cable is so thin, it is unshielded and the mic is mean for a local recorder, not a wireless one. I will try one of your recommendations for next time. Unfortunately for this shoot, I'll have to stick to these as nothing is in stores now. Bummer) I did go to a local store and bought what they had (the RØDE - Lavalier GO) as I have the second day of shooting tomorrow. I did quick tests and didn't get the interference you were talking about. This is in USA, so perhaps they use a different frequency that doesn't cause the buzzing you experienced. I'll let you know if tomorrow I find otherwise. Again, thanks for the information. ***Read Update Above***
what about Rode SmartLav+ ?!
Huge help! Going to pull the trigger on the Shure MVL
Really should have bought the purple panda. Im using this setup with the purple panda lav and the sound is clean. Also a video with different boom mics would be a game changer. Wireless booms 🔥
Fantastic comparison...at least we won't go wrong when we buy one. Thanks man for your talent. Salute
Hola no hablo el idioma me podrías decir cuál es el micrófono lavalier que mejor le va a los dji
Subscribed for how thorough and well done your content is. Bravo mate
may be production versions of these wireless transmitters will have better default frequency (May be you could change the frequency and test again?). what do you think ?
That AGPTek Lavalier should also plug in straight into the DJI Action 2 then, using the provided USB adapter. DJI changed the way they do things and the Action 2 accepts standard USB sound devices instead of the proprietary solutions, they used in the past.
Extremely helpful, thanks so much for taking the time!
Oh my gosh - this is sooooo helpful. I'm a total newbie and I wouldn't have thought of the interference. This is simple and straight to the point and inexpensive. Yay! Thank you soooo much! This is just the video I needed as I research this stuff. Thank you!
Hola no hablo el idioma me podrías decir cuál es el lavalier que mejor lavalier que le va a los DJ i
Probably one of the most helpful videos ever made 😊
thank you so much for this video, this was extremely helpful
Thanks!
That's very kind Donovan!! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm goind to order that Shure just right now over your link!
PS. I love your accent. That is Scottish right?
Anyway, thank you again and keep up the good work!
Cheers from Canada. ☺
Just don’t forget to buy adapter for your SHURE lav, from TRRS to TRS. If you have the DJI MIC 2
Does the same issue exist on the DJI mic 2? I would have assumed they fixed it
Thank you. Excellent presentation. This has helped me a lot. Happy New Year!
Wonderful content. Questions though.
1. Have you tested either the Countryman B6 or B3 for interference?
2. Does the DJI use the Sennheiser wiring configuration for the 3.5mm jack?
3. There appears to be delays in shipping. Know if Amazon will be selling this as I get free shipping but BH will charge me since I live in Hawaii not to mention the excellent return policy if I have an problem
4. Do you have any clue as to when they will ship?
Thank you!
Countryman and other pro mics generally don't work with consumer systems (like DJI) as their 3.5mm connectors are balanced (DJI and Rode appear to be unbalanced, which explains the interference issues). I've tried the Sony ECM-77BMP with the DJI Mic to no avail. You would need to have the mic specifically rewired for DJI and even then it's a gamble.
@@benhooft8603 My Sanken Cos-11d sounds fantastic with my Rode Wireless Go. I'm going to try it with my DJI Mic (just received it) tonight.
Thank you. So informative and a beautiful breakdown!
Thanks for you video. I was just planning on using the DJI as either a great option for interview videos or for when I need to create my tutorial videos and have it just exactly how you have it set up. I bought a cheap Neewer vlogging mic and I cannot use it b/c the humming (interference) and the reverb (echo) was HORRIBLE. I never thought that I would need to plug a lav mic into these new DJI wireless lav mics.
Thanks a lot for the review! Very helpful!
I cant hear a problem with the Rode Lavalier. I have the latest firmware
Just ordered the DJI wireless mic system.
I'm gonna go with the Shure MVL's I am disappointed that the Rode Lav go Is a bust. But Shure mics are solid.
Thankyou so much for always producing such high quality and relevant videos. I have a quick question about the DJI mic system, if there is a video about it, I sure have not found it. If you are running both transmitters, Is it possible to split the receiver audio to two separate XLR audio inputs on a professional camera or mic mixer ?
A really great & helpful review! Our in house cinematographer has found the same issue using DJI wireless with Rode lav, so we will be making additional lav purchases based on your wise words Stewart - Really great thank you!
Which lav did you decide on?
Ah thank you so much for this video! The interference was so frustrating that I thought I had a defective unit and sent mine back for a replacement unit. I got the new one and will give one of these lavs a try! Thanks again for this super helpful info!
I was about to do the same. I thought there was a problem with my $10 lav from Amazon, but when I used my $60 Rode Lav, I got the same noise as heard in the video. Here's the kicker though...the Rode Wireless GO system (1st gen) doesn't have noise on EITHER of the lavs, not even the $10 Amazon one! Might have to return my DJI mic and get the RODE Wireless GO II instead.
This was very helpful, thank you for your time and research.
I have two questions: How do i know if a lavalier works without the mentioned interference? I am planning on buying the countryman b3 lavalier. Question number 2 is, is the audio quality only dependent on the lavalier itself or also on the transmitter it is plugged in to? I would be very grateful for a response!
Thanks for this. I recently bought the new Rode 2 Premium which worked a treat with the Rode Wireless Go but doesn't register at all with my new DJI Mic for some reason (yes I've got the firmware updates as well) so I've ordered the Shure on your recommendation.
which lav should i use if i’m filming outdoors in the woods?
How about testing some more high-end lav mics too, like the ones from deity or sennheiser? I asked deity if their lav mics would be a good combination but they told me they were not sure...
So if you would do some more high-end lav mic-tests it would be great!
What I was asking myself: Is it necessary to connect the DJI receiver with a device like Phone/Camera/Notebook or is it optional? I know it's actually the main perk, but when I am thinking of using my gimbal connecting the reciever with the phone would (maybe) cause some issues with the gimbals weight distribution. So: Can I record without connecting it? Thanks for any answer!
Yes you can, I believe each transmitter can record up to 14hrs of uncompressed audio without the need to use the receiver too
Does the Rode Lavalier 2 have the same issue do you know?
Just what I was looking for. You're a life....er, money saver!
A great review which will save people a lot of hassle when trying to choose a lav mic to best match the DJI wireless mics. However from my experience every lav has a different gain level. Some are too hot, others require quite a bit of increased gain. I also don't understand why just due to cable length and the battery housing you dismissed the Boya.
Surely it's clarity in performance would out weigh such a minor issue. I use one with my Rode Go 2, also the Sony for Moto Vlogging, I'm now trying to use both with the DJI but I'm finding I need to boost gain and still the levels are low on my Insta 360 X2, the Sony is peaking and the Boya barely audible.
