DJI Mic 2 vs Zoom F2 & RODE Wireless GO 2: 32bit Float Audio Quality Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Just a quick test of three lav/wireless recorders. Mostly to satisfy my own personal curiosity but figured others might be in the same boat as well.
Zoom F2 - amzn.to/3QGgTz8
RODE Wireless GO II - bhpho.to/40LeOGF
DJI Mic 2 - [Not available yet]
Personally, after this test, I think I'll definitely sell the RODE Wireless GO 2 and maybe (60/40) sell the Zoom F2. Which one did you like best?

I've been checking out a bunch of reviews by UA-camrs and even got my hands on the DJI Mic myself. Gotta say, I'm pretty stoked for the release of DJI Mic 2!
Thanks. You did a great job. I think the Zoom F2 was clearly the winner in sound quality. The audio sounded much more full-bodied than the DJI. The DJI is more versatile though.
Very Nice comparison - it was interesting to see how the three compare. I too really like the Zoom F2.
There is now a cut-out on the Mic2 that holds the cable under the clip. UA-cam won't let me copy and paste the link but this is the title of the video, (This could save your DJI Mic 2 audio) start the video at 2 minutes
Rode sounds so much better but it's your preference. I have always loved Zoom. I have used a Zoom H2N for several years but Rode Wireless Go 2 really excels in audio quality.
@DigitalTechReviewTips
Great Video! May I ask, do you ever have any problem (interference, static buzzing) with Dji Mic 2 + Rode Lavalier II external lav ?
How is it compared with using external lav Rodelink Lav (if you have the unit)?
I'm asking this because I have interference buzzing problem with my Dji Mic 2 + nobrand external lav (that came with my old wireless mic).. especially if the external lav's head coincidentally in a close proximity with the Dji Mic 2 unit.
I am looking for the suitable external lav for Dji Mic 2.. that doesnt have any buzzing problem
@@kunirkun I use the Rode Lavalier II Premium Lavalier Microphone and have had zero problems. Maybe the best audio & video solution I’ve ever had.
This video is 3 years old and this guys here said with the firmware upgrade rode wireless go 2 can be 32bit... how true is this guys? ua-cam.com/video/OQu7YQVjIz4/v-deo.html
Not true. Look at the top comment he pinned on the video and he actually admits he was completely wrong (didn’t take the video down though so it keeps confusing people). The new Rode Wireless PRO system uses 32bit float though.
@@DigitalTechReviewsTips oh yeah i see that now. thanks.
I think Tubers habeen sold on wireless by influencers. It's so easy to record and sync recorded audio. It's not worth my time to deal with battery charging, bad camera pre-amps, drop-outs etc. Even if you have "backup" in your system, its time consuming to recover a drop-out from the transmitters recording. Can somone explain the advantage of wireless for UA-cam vids?
The RODE sounded best 🤔
Ofc No
Only f2 zoom
THE BEST MIC
GOod job men.... I have both the DJI Mic 2 waiting for the DJI Lavalier... it iwll be here on monday... and I own the Zoom F2-BT... love the zoom but I am not that crazy about the lavalier... I love the DJI as well and I think the DJI Lavalier will improve the sound a lot... for the DJI Mic 2... I will do a test and I will post it soon.
Excited about the potential of the DJI Mic 2 as a portable microphone. It's already on my future shopping list.
The rode sounds better than other 2
I was like "Zoom sounds terrible!" Then, after it's unclipped from the shirt and brought closer to the speaking device, it's suddenly clear it's the best option.
Haha yup, really highlights how much proper mic placement affects the sound quality you get and how even a good mic can sound bad in inexperienced hands.
DJI sounds best.
No
Agreed Denise! The DJI 2 sounds amazing and sounds even better with the lav. I have this setup and love it.
Quiero comprar unos de esos mic y resulta que al parecer es cuestión de gustos porque leo los comentarios y unos se van por el dji otros por el rode y otros por el zoom...
Me dejaron más confundidos...😅😅😅😅😅
Well don’t be too confused - you honestly summarized it pretty well. They really are all very good mics and both drastically easier to use and less expensive than the options we had 5-10 year ago. You really can’t go “wrong”, it’s just about which one fits your budget and needs best.
I love the new dji mic 2! I hope it will be released soon, it would be the best as a Christmas gift🎁
Unfortunately I wouldn’t hold your breath (we probably won’t see the standalone release until next year) but it’d be a great surprise!
Zoom sound best
Do they sell a single unit dji mic2 yet - as I can use two with a DJI P3 combo.
Unfortunately no. No kit with a RX and no single unit - and according to DJI Twitter there’s no timeline for that which I think only means we probably won’t see it before the end of the year.
@@DigitalTechReviewsTips strange when the P3 can control two mic-2 transmitters
I think it’s mainly due to them trying to meet the demand for the Creator Combo kit (which is sold out many places) before releasing a new product. I imagine 1-2 years down the road they’ll possibly even be selling the OP3 in a kit with two lavs aimed at people doing interviews.
appreciated you sharing this with us thanks.
The Rode onboard mic sounded fifty times better than the DJI onboard mic. With the external lav I could not hear any difference. Personally I have the Rode.Wireless Pro and the Zoom F2, I love them both. The Rode is much more versatile, the Zoom is as simple as it can get.
Glad to hear someone else who’s a fan of the F2! How’re you liking the Rode Wireless Pro?
@@DigitalTechReviewsTipsit is close to perfect. I am sure Rode will make the necessary firmware changes and make it even to perfect. I actually liked the Wireless Go II more than the DJI Mic I, but the Pro is better in almost everything.
i think dji mic 2 record only 24bit unless you had rx or osmo action 4 to chage it setting to 32bit.
You’re 100% right except for that you can also do it with the Osmo Pocket 3 as well. This is what I did in my case to be able to make this video testing out its 32bit recording.
@@DigitalTechReviewsTips ah.. yes, i forgot to mention op3 ^.^
Bro what about zoom h1n/h2 they are professional? Or
If you are looking for a handheld recorder I personally like the Tascam DR-40
The DJI Mic 2 does not sound professional and too muffled but maybe it will improve with an external lavalier.
I try the Mic 2 with an external lav mic later in the video - not sure if you saw that.
Hi, the Rode Wireless Go 2 has 32 Bit too. You can export the 32Bit File with the Rode central from the backup files from the transmitter (you can change the bit depth from 24bit to 32bit).
Regards
Andreas
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that while you can export the files from the Rode desktop application in 32bit, it is recorded in 24bit in the backup files on the transmitter. Would love to be proven wrong though as that would make me a lot more inclined to use the Rode Wireless GO 2.
Zoom 2 sounds best to me.
Ah, that's the review I have been waiting for. I got the Rode, it's great though I don't like the form factor very much.
OFC ZOOM F2 is better ‘
