Just got mine, and I've got to say I really like the DJI Mic! It's my first portable / separate mic system and I'm happy I finally jumped away from using my camera's internal mic :) Now I'm just waiting for the DJI Pocket 3 to release...😆 Gotta do with my drone till that, hah
Having just received my DJI mic this is the best video I’ve come across. It clearly provides everything I needed, especially your explanation of the mono versus stereo recording to independently edit in post. I could have easily missed that !! Thanks for the lack of clutter and being clear and concise !
A came into this video with the following thought: "Here we go, another video that isn't actually going to go in-depth and solve my specific problem". In reality you smashed it out the park and dealt with my concern within the first 2 minutes. Thank you sir. Thank you!
Glad I could help - it would be good if you could select the low cut frequency like on the Rode VideoMic Pro+ - if you know how I think it is still better to do in post when you are editing just so you have more control.
Hi. Just bought these and have just watched your videos. I'm really pleased I came across your channel and found them very helpful. I've subscribed. Using the mics for the first time Tuesday. I've been using Rode Wireless Go for about 18m and in fairness not had any issues but I think the DJI is an obvious upgrade.
Thanks for the video. DJI Mic users should keep in mind that the only audio mode you can use recording into an iPhone using the native camera app is MONO. There is no STEREO option, unless there’s an app that allows you to record in STEREO.

Thank you for this wonderfully informative tutorial. I have an FX 30 and am wondering if you could share wisdom on an ideal workflow on initial settings for the TX/RCV/Camera levels.... and what your strategy would be to change each as needed. Super appreciated!
@@JasonRobertsVideo That was great and I've run through your excellent workflow. So helpful, and my first foray into what I now understand is called "gain staging". Please allow me a borderline silly question: is it possible to run 2 transmitters both in mono with safety track? The use case would be mic'ing two people in a run and gun setting. Thanks much!
Hello! Thank you for your video. I have just one question. I can’t switch the Mono to safe mono and Stereo, this button is always grey. What should I do? Why it’s like this?
Watch this to learn how to setup ua-cam.com/video/feEXyWhiPLI/v-deo.html There is not one best lot of settings depending on how loud people talk, what your camera volume is set to etc. I think at the moment my transmitter is +4 and my receiver +6 gain - also this video is a deep dive on settings/features: ua-cam.com/video/43cIQ8YKX8s/v-deo.html
Great explanation, thank you! There are a couple of settings I didn't see on your video or receiver, perhaps they became available after the firmware update: under Transmitter Settings, there is "REC Stop Lock" and "Auto Record". Any idea what these are for?
thanks for both videos this one and the other with the camera setting. I just have 2 questions please if you don't mind 1- i got i can increase the gain on the TX if im not as loud , and i can check that on the Rx screen. so when i should increase the Receiver gain ! 2- the mic is perfect outdoor , but indoor my room is echoyyy i put the foam still echoy but im out of budget to add more foom as i bought already 36 Pcs , anyway . what is the best advice and setting for such echoy room lastly , since you get the pocket 3 (Congrats) , would you think about making a review both items working together
(does the mic store gain setting within?) When recording directly to the mic WITHOUT the transmitter are the gain settings i've set previously in the receiver still being used ?
Great video! BTW, is there a way to switch off the lights on the transmitter while recording? Those lights can sometimes get too distracting on camera.
Thanks :) The new firmware update added ability to choose led brightness - check out this to see how to update firmware: ua-cam.com/video/BzDeEX0WEvY/v-deo.html
Very good video Thank You. I have a question: the receiver gain at 0db does not send any audio to the iPhone 13 Pro, is that normal I have to add db gain in the receiver? As the audio in the transmitter is recorded normally. I find it weird the receiver works this way and i thought it might be a foulty one
Great video Jason. Is that possible to have a stereo option for a single transmitter? I m wondering if that is possible to use the 3.5 input in transmitter with stereo signal, and transmit that to receiver to provide a wireless stereo for camera and monitoring
Jason, I refer to your channel more often than nought! You made an excellent tutorial for gain staging before going into the Sony camera. What would be your recommendation before using the DJi system with an external recorder, for instance plugging the receiver into a Zoom H6 or Tascam Portacapture X8? Understanding that staging starts at the source, would the workflow be the same (eg, TX gain, RcV gain, external recorder gain?) thank you!
Thanks so much Erik - glad to help :) Yes I would always start with the TX gain for the person / situation it's attached to - if that stage clips/overloads then what comes later in the chain doesn't really matter as the audio will be bad already. Haven't tried plugging into my Zoom yet so I can't comment specifically. It depends on whether the (pre)amps have a better signal/noise ratio in the Zoom or the DJI receiver - I would just test a few different ways and use something like Adobe Audition to look at the noise - or just listen :) Hope that helps!
Hi Jason, great video. I'm curious to know if the DJI mic system records a backup audio file locally to the transmitter regardless of whether you're in Mono Safety or not. Thanks!
I tried recording in stereo mode for an interview but the transmitters recorded it in very low voice. I used the setting as +9 DB for each transmitter with active noice cancelling and Low Cut in ON position. How should i get the better voice while doinga 2 person interview? What are best settings to capture the sound
Love your videos I had a question about receiver gain, audio mic level, and transmitter gain. I understand that transmitter gain amplifies the voice if it’s quiet or too loud. What is the relationship between receiver gain and audio level rec? How you you set those levels appropriately. What would you look at or listen to as a reference? I’m using DJI mic, Shure mic lav, and Sony a7s3
Hey thanks for the Video. What do you do If 2 people stand really close together. I have an Echo if I do this and don't know how to get it out. Any Ideas?
The mics are omnidirectional so they will pick up sound from all around them (including the person next to them) You could plug in directional lav mics instead of using the built in mics to try and minimize this. Or when editing mute one persons audio channel when the other is talking, or just use the audio from one mic. In future for this scenario you could also try using a single mic positioned in from of the 2 people or go to a different audio setup like a boom mic.
Thanks for the video. I am still struggling with my DJI. When I record in any setting with my Sony ZV1 I only ever get one file. How do I get separate audio files for each Mic? I did make one video comparing the gopro audio and the DJI mic on its own. All the feedback said the Gopro was far superior and sadly I have to agree.
When you say "one file" what do you mean? If you are recording internally to both mics then you need to download the files from each mic. If you are recording straight into camera then the audio from the mics will be in the video file.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thankyou for getting back to me. I thought it was possible to independently edit the volume of each mic even if you used the received into a camera. The video file only has one audio track. Can this be split in two or am I just misunderstanding what this mic can do. I understand I could record onto the mic's themselves and sync with the video but this seems a very clumsy way of doing it. Thanks once again for your help.
You need to make sure the reciever is set to Stereo mode and not "Mono" or "Mono with Safety" - then in your audio in the video transmitter one will be on the left and transmitter two on the right (or vice verca) - you can then "split" the stereo file into two separate channels in your video editor and change the volume etc of them independently.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thanks so much for that. I have spent some time finding out how to split the audio in Davinci resolve and can now do that. I didn't know whether it was a DJI setting, a camera setting or an editing issue. Problem solved.
I'm still fine tuning to work out what's best but for my voice transmitter gain of 0db and receiver gain of about 6 and then adjust camera levels - I'll be doing a full video on the best settings when I've worked them out :)
Thanks for great videos. One of the best around. One thing that puzzles me is in the audio world I always thought that 0 dB was the 'not to be crossed line' and settings were -24dB to 0. With DJI this seems to be not the case and we have two sets of settings, one for TX and the other for RX going from -dB to +dB. With Røde you only had one dB gain setting. have I missed something?
High Geoff - there's a gain setting for the transmitter(s) and another one for the gain that gets applied from the receiver down the audio cable to the camera - the combination of these 2 settings will affect the final signal level that the camera records
Hi! Thank you very much for such a detailed video. Can you help me with a thing that, my DJI Mic isn't working with my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's working fine with iPhone, DSLR... but NOT with Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Can you suggest me some settings that I need to change in my phone? Thanks!
You are most welcome :) DJI Mic transmitters have omni-directional microphones so they will pick up sound from all around so should be ok for recording ambiance. Other options would be something like a Zoom mobile recorder or similar.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thank you very much dear Jason Thank you for your help. Do you recommend DJI or zoom recorder to record ambient and the sound of the environment ?🌹
For ambience I would probably go with the zoom - this is the one I have www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KCXMBES?th=1 - it has built in mics, battery powered, and can also connect external XLR microphones
@@JasonRobertsVideo Dear Jason, thank you very much, it looks great, I will definitely research more about it. Thank you very much for your help and thank you for letting me know
this is the second time I've watched this. I watched the firs time a few months ago when I purchased the microphone kit. I put it away and just started using it now. I'm finding my audio is too low when using it and have my mic volume set at +8. I tried going up to 12 and not much helped. I keep the microphone around my sternum area on the outside my shirt. It just doesn't sound as good as if I'm speaking directly into my osmo action 3 or 4 cameras unfortunately.
at minute 6:21 ..............The link to DJI mic internal back up recording takes me to another UA-camr chaneel? Jason do you have that video on your feed or not? just checking! love your work! thanxs man!
Thx a lot for the video ❤ I do have a question…I just bought the Dji Mic 2 and want to use it as a MotoVlog Setup for Motorcycle riding. One Receiver in the helmet for my voice and one receiver near the rear of my bike for the pipe Sound. So should I set the Transmitter to Mono or Stereo? I really want to edit Both Audio Tracks separate. Thx a lot my friend ❤
I wanna ask, do you think it be possible to connect one of the transmitters to a console for a concert (using a xlr to 3.5 jack cable) and record indepently while using the other transmitter to record interviews somewhere else?
Transmitters have independent internal recording. You would not usually connect transmitter directly to audio equipment but you could connect the receiver to the console and transmit wirelessly from the 2 transmitters if the range was ok.
I don't ride a motorcycle so I don't really know but the mic in the transmitter is omnidirectional so it picks up sound from all around - you could buy a directional lav mic and plug it into the transmitter - that might help a bit
Hallo, with the safety track am I just lower the single side to get to the safety tack or is there a way to have the lower track come out both left and right?
If you're using 2 transmitters then stereo is a better choice if you don't mind a bit of work in post. When using only 1 transmitter I always use safety track not mono mode.
Hi Rajan - there is some noise present in the receiver sometimes - check out this video I did on DKI mic noise to see if you are getting worse noise: ua-cam.com/video/0kdaZw7KhAw/v-deo.html
Hi, do you know how to get how do I get separate audio files for each Mic? When I download the stereo file it still shows only 1 audio file albeit in stereo (I can hear 1 channel in the left and 1 in the right). I would like to mix both channels centrally. The idea is to put a mic near the engine to capture that sound and of course on in my helmet... Trouble is I don't want an engine in 1 ear and the voice in another. I love you channel and hope you can help :)
Hi - you just need to mix the stereo containing both to the center - check out this for doing it in Premiere www.premiumbeat.com/blog/adobe-premiere-pro-converting-stereo-tracks-to-dual-mono/
thanks for the video. One think I can't find an answer for is the output od dpi mic. tried using a 3.5mm to xls cable into my zoom H6 and get nothing. is it me or there should be no issue if you want to feed sound into zoom recorder using xls? shouldn't be this complicated. anyways, no answer anywhere about this. if someone knows please share. Thanks
Hi Osmani - I've got a zoom with XML input but I haven't tried connecting it up to DJI Mic receiver yet so I can't really comment on that. The output of the receiver is a stereo output but XLR input on your H6 is mono?? Maybe that is something to do with it?

Oh thank you so much for the detailed answer. :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo
No problem :)
Thanks for the video. I am still struggling with my DJI. When I record in any setting with my Sony ZV1 I only ever get one file. How do I get separate audio files for each Mic? I did make one video comparing the gopro audio and the DJI mic on its own. All the feedback said the Gopro was far superior and sadly I have to agree.
When you say "one file" what do you mean? If you are recording internally to both mics then you need to download the files from each mic. If you are recording straight into camera then the audio from the mics will be in the video file.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thankyou for getting back to me. I thought it was possible to independently edit the volume of each mic even if you used the received into a camera. The video file only has one audio track. Can this be split in two or am I just misunderstanding what this mic can do.
I understand I could record onto the mic's themselves and sync with the video but this seems a very clumsy way of doing it. Thanks once again for your help.
You need to make sure the reciever is set to Stereo mode and not "Mono" or "Mono with Safety" - then in your audio in the video transmitter one will be on the left and transmitter two on the right (or vice verca) - you can then "split" the stereo file into two separate channels in your video editor and change the volume etc of them independently.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thanks so much for that. I have spent some time finding out how to split the audio in Davinci resolve and can now do that. I didn't know whether it was a DJI setting, a camera setting or an editing issue. Problem solved.
Great to hear :)
For room self recordings and run and gun recordings, what did you have your Sony Audio levels set to with the DJI mics in use?
I'm still fine tuning to work out what's best but for my voice transmitter gain of 0db and receiver gain of about 6 and then adjust camera levels - I'll be doing a full video on the best settings when I've worked them out :)
Thanks for great videos. One of the best around. One thing that puzzles me is in the audio world I always thought that 0 dB was the 'not to be crossed line' and settings were -24dB to 0. With DJI this seems to be not the case and we have two sets of settings, one for TX and the other for RX going from -dB to +dB. With Røde you only had one dB gain setting. have I missed something?
High Geoff - there's a gain setting for the transmitter(s) and another one for the gain that gets applied from the receiver down the audio cable to the camera - the combination of these 2 settings will affect the final signal level that the camera records
Thanks Jason that makes it a bit clearer
Thank you x
You're welcome Christina :)
Hi! Thank you very much for such a detailed video. Can you help me with a thing that, my DJI Mic isn't working with my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's working fine with iPhone, DSLR... but NOT with Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Can you suggest me some settings that I need to change in my phone? Thanks!
Hi Felu - I don't have a galaxy i'm not sure sorry
Very helpful. what Mic did used to record this Video?
Thanks, was probably the Rode VideoMic Pro+
Thank you so much dear Jason. It was a great video. I want to buy this microphone. Can you please tell if DJI works well for ambient recording?
You are most welcome :) DJI Mic transmitters have omni-directional microphones so they will pick up sound from all around so should be ok for recording ambiance. Other options would be something like a Zoom mobile recorder or similar.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thank you very much dear Jason
Thank you for your help. Do you recommend DJI or zoom recorder to record ambient and the sound of the environment ?🌹
For ambience I would probably go with the zoom - this is the one I have www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KCXMBES?th=1 - it has built in mics, battery powered, and can also connect external XLR microphones
@@JasonRobertsVideo Dear Jason, thank you very much, it looks great, I will definitely research more about it. Thank you very much for your help and thank you for letting me know
You're welcome - best of luck :)
this is the second time I've watched this. I watched the firs time a few months ago when I purchased the microphone kit. I put it away and just started using it now. I'm finding my audio is too low when using it and have my mic volume set at +8. I tried going up to 12 and not much helped. I keep the microphone around my sternum area on the outside my shirt. It just doesn't sound as good as if I'm speaking directly into my osmo action 3 or 4 cameras unfortunately.
Check out this updated full user guide - hopefully that will help :) ua-cam.com/video/43cIQ8YKX8s/v-deo.html
at minute 6:21 ..............The link to DJI mic internal back up recording takes me to another UA-camr chaneel? Jason do you have that video on your feed or not? just checking! love your work! thanxs man!
hi - the link in the description is correct - must have been an end screen thing: here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/_G1tRTJ9b_s/v-deo.html
Thx a lot for the video ❤
I do have a question…I just bought the Dji Mic 2 and want to use it as a MotoVlog Setup for Motorcycle riding.
One Receiver in the helmet for my voice and one receiver near the rear of my bike for the pipe Sound. So should I set the Transmitter to Mono or Stereo?
I really want to edit Both Audio Tracks separate. Thx a lot my friend ❤
Stereo :) :)
@@JasonRobertsVideo thx 🙏 😀
I wanna ask, do you think it be possible to connect one of the transmitters to a console for a concert (using a xlr to 3.5 jack cable) and record indepently while using the other transmitter to record interviews somewhere else?
Transmitters have independent internal recording. You would not usually connect transmitter directly to audio equipment but you could connect the receiver to the console and transmit wirelessly from the 2 transmitters if the range was ok.
I also have the transmitter in my motorcycle helmet. But I'm getting loud exhaust recording. How do I prevent that?
I don't ride a motorcycle so I don't really know but the mic in the transmitter is omnidirectional so it picks up sound from all around - you could buy a directional lav mic and plug it into the transmitter - that might help a bit
Hallo, with the safety track am I just lower the single side to get to the safety tack or is there a way to have the lower track come out both left and right?
You need to do this in your video editing software - check this video to learn how: ua-cam.com/video/PkWI6brt4Fk/v-deo.html
So if you’re recording in M, why would you ever not have the safety feature on? is there any advantage?
If you're using 2 transmitters then stereo is a better choice if you don't mind a bit of work in post. When using only 1 transmitter I always use safety track not mono mode.
I find I am still getting an echo in my audio indoors
Strange - what settings/camera are you using? Is the room actually quite echo-y?
@@JasonRobertsVideo it was indoors. But when I see other videos sat at their desks the audio has no echo and nice and crisp and smooth.
Very strange... and are you using just a single transmitter?
Is it possible from the receiver to start recording on both transmitters simultaneously?
One click to start both (and stop)?
I don't think so Christian.
In my DJI Mic there is hiss.. sound. How to rectify it. Can we suppress background noise in recording. I already on the low cut.
Hi Rajan - there is some noise present in the receiver sometimes - check out this video I did on DKI mic noise to see if you are getting worse noise: ua-cam.com/video/0kdaZw7KhAw/v-deo.html
Hi, do you know how to get how do I get separate audio files for each Mic? When I download the stereo file it still shows only 1 audio file albeit in stereo (I can hear 1 channel in the left and 1 in the right). I would like to mix both channels centrally. The idea is to put a mic near the engine to capture that sound and of course on in my helmet... Trouble is I don't want an engine in 1 ear and the voice in another. I love you channel and hope you can help :)
Hi - you just need to mix the stereo containing both to the center - check out this for doing it in Premiere www.premiumbeat.com/blog/adobe-premiere-pro-converting-stereo-tracks-to-dual-mono/
thanks for the video. One think I can't find an answer for is the output od dpi mic. tried using a 3.5mm to xls cable into my zoom H6 and get nothing. is it me or there should be no issue if you want to feed sound into zoom recorder using xls? shouldn't be this complicated. anyways, no answer anywhere about this. if someone knows please share. Thanks
Hi Osmani - I've got a zoom with XML input but I haven't tried connecting it up to DJI Mic receiver yet so I can't really comment on that. The output of the receiver is a stereo output but XLR input on your H6 is mono?? Maybe that is something to do with it?
