    $99 Ulanzi vs RODE vs DJI Mic 2 side by side comparison.

    I agree with your opinion 100%. I guess if I was not embedded with DJI equipment like the pocket 3 and Osmo Action, I would probably purchase for that price the Ulanzi. Question, does the Ulanzi mic have Bluetooth? That would be another reason if you're using DJI to use the mic 2. Thanks for sharing.

    I like the DJI because of the 32 float. One key feature

    • @WORTHITORNOT
      @WORTHITORNOT  5 місяців тому +3

      Yes it makes clipping the audio much less likely and gives a lot of flexibility

  • @StirfriedGerman
    @StirfriedGerman 5 місяців тому +4

    Excellent comparison ! Of course DJI and Rode are taking us for a ride .... 32 bit float .... cool marketing and yeah it doesn't clip, but the capsule will and the usable (and useful) dynamic range of a condenser capsule is way less than 100dB so it's not too hard to design a clip free preamp/ADC when at 48khz. Wireless mics are now a commodity and Ulanzi's pricing reflects that. I think that a bunch of other brands will or already are using the same components. The same thing happened with LED studio lights, tripods, you name it.

    Why did the ulanzi am 18 sound better than all the mics? I thought the sound actually sound cleaner and crisper are you sure you didn’t mix up the mics even the floor test was better. lol I’ve been hearing that little microphone sounded good most of the reviews that I’ve been watching. I can’t really tell the difference between it and the DJI and the distance test that I’ve been watching is unbelievable how far that little Mike can reach it’s just an awesome package it’s not just about it being a value. The little microphone actually sounds great.

    I really couldn't tell the difference in my PC speakers between the DJI and the Ulanzi. The Rode sounded different, little more emphasis on the high frequencies. Still good in my opinion, just different. I certainly agree the Ulanzi performance is awesome at a fraction of the price!

    To get a good quality recording you almost always have to mix and master, so for these engineers (-> dynamic range, "head room") the order is as follows:
    #1 Rode #2 DJI #3 Ulanzi. But if you're doing normal acceptable UA-cam-ready average joe quality, I don't see any problems with Ulanzi.

    • @WORTHITORNOT
      @WORTHITORNOT  3 місяці тому +1

      Well for the optimal audio quality you would need to do that to any microphone, but straight out of recorder (which most people will use) the Ulanzi sounds good. Thanks for the comment

    Your voice rocks regardless the microphone. 😊
    Rode has a very bright sound, quite processed (which is good in most cases). Ulanzi did great and was almost as good as the DJI Mic 2. I hope they got the UI and the wireless connectivity right - because as it looks like, it is better than the Hohem Mic01 which has similar price.
    This year we finally see a lot of great budget wireless mics!

    To be honest they all 3 sounded very similar to me. Obviously the Deity sounded the best . The others wear slightly less rich sounding but that might be the preamps on the recording device making the difference. The Ulanzi definitely held its own against the more expensive versions
