      Just a small addition, for people recording on an iPhone all the stereo recording is out the window. It’s all mixed to mono BUT the input from the two transmitters will be more important since you can’t change it in your edit.

      @onlymyopiniontech Рік тому +1

      @@Gesuenderfitterleben several possible reasons. You could have the cable plugged into the headphone jack rather than the output.
      The cable could be bad or the mic setting in your camera might be wrong.
      I’m not familiar with your camera so I don’t have any suggestions for the settings.

    Believe it or not, I bought the DJI Mic 9/22/22 and just used it today (8/13/23) for the first time. I have a horrible habit of buying ahead of my skill set ... I watched this video at least once after buying and watched again this morning before my first go ... actually using the transmitter only for voice over. Very happy and this video helped me a lot! I know it is a year old video but I am a year behind. Your channel is a huge resource/reference for me as I slowly learn video technique, video editing and storytelling. Thank you, Jevon!

      Seeing as they plug into the input jack on the camera are they already beaten to the audio of the video clip you’re recording? Or do you have to sync it up to the video once you pull in the audio clips from the transmitter?

    Just bought this system yesterday and your video has been better than anything DJI could have done as tutorial. I’m used to the Sennheiser AVX, which cost like 800 euros for one mic and receiver … and this seems to be a better system, specially if the range really is as good as you claim … and even if it fails, the back up recording is such an amazing feature .. looking forward to treat it out in real conditions. If you were to make more videos about it, would be super interested in seeing set up on cameras with XLR inputs like FX3 / FX6 and in combination with other mics on the camera (like shotgun mic for ambient sound) Thanks for the amazing work

    Super helpful video!! I know that DJI has some stuff, but I found this first. I bought the setup to hopefully use for both voiceover and out and about shooting/voice. Your video addressed both. I particularly appreciate the Workflow chapter. Not to negate the first 2 chapters which helped me tremendously, but workflow is often not included in “how to” videos and I think that info is so helpful. I am a very new videographer (hobby) and the workflow is the last piece of the puzzle for me. Thank you!

    Thanks so much for showing us again how you do it! I love the look and I keep trying to do these as “assignments” to learn.
    My camera has two metering options, the ambient meter and the flash meter. When I do these under varying conditions, I go 2/3 underexposed for ambient and 1/3 overexposed for flash. So there is a stop difference, I find it makes a good pop but it can always be pulled back in post or adjusted on the go.
    I save my go-to on C3 so it’s always the same when I access it.
    I would love for you to explain these built-in metering functions; how are they calculated and when do they work; when don’t they work. I’m a hobbyist with kids and rarely have the time to fine tune in the field, so I need it already programmed beforehand. Custom functions are my best friend.
    Thanks again for the great educational videos!

  • @jolebole-yt
    @jolebole-yt Рік тому +3

    Amazing wireless mic system. It's super easy to use. The only confusion people might have is using the Mono and Stereo modes with one or two mics.
    Mono one mic - records dual mono track (1 person talking) No post audio editing needed)
    Mono two mics - mixes both mono tracks into a single stereo track (two people talking at the same time) No post audio editing needed.
    Stereo one mic - records only the left channel (you have to duplicate this track in post to have stereo sound)
    Stereo two mics - send the L and R channel individually to the receiver and you have a single stereo track (not practical for recording two people as you will have one person on the L and the second on the R . You have to mix the channels in post to have Stereo)
    The easiest way to see how this works is plug your headphones into the receiver and get your mics out, change from mono to stereo, play with the options and you will see how it changes the sound and channels live.
    I am using this with a Sony A7III and the audio input level on my camera is set at 3.

    I love how no one is mentioning the horrible Hiss sound that's coming from the transmitter with a lot of Lavalier Mics (like the Rode Lavalier GO) that makes the sound unusable. Maybe that's the reason it got delayed a million times, probably DJI is aware of that and tries to fix it before release. Some yt channels mention it briefly and still praise this to heaven - sorry but most of the people don't want to attach a huge transmitter to the shirt of your interview partner, that doesn't look professional. If this is fixed it's an awesome device, but until then this not usable for a lot of content creators.

    Good stuff. I just got the DJI Mic. I haven't used it out in the field yet but I'm looking forward and excited for it. I started a motovlog recently.

    I bought these the other day because of your excellent coverage and received them today. They are super nice. I am coming from the Hollyland Lark set. They are fine. I wanted a non-lapel set which i guess they are very similar. Owning both, I like this set much better the phone attachment is huge. I will be using them in a one one one and three person scenario. I thought about using two and a Saramonic mixer on camera. But then I thought why not place them on mini tripod like at 33:18 and just have them in between subject and do a mic test prior to and check the levels to make sure each subject is receiving okay.
