NOTE 1: I've just tried the Insta360 Ace Pro, and whilst it did work with the DJI Mic 2, after a recent update, it doesn't work anymore. That is odd, but I've been told a fresh update is coming, hopefully one where we can turn off HDR on the Ace Pro, fingers crossed it gives us back connection to the wireless DJI Mic. I HAVE talked to Insta360 and they have found the problem and it should be updated in the next firmware update, so don't worry, your DJI Mic 2 should once again work with the Insta360 Ace Pro.
NOTE 2: Mic 1 = DJI Mic. Mic 2 = DJI Mic 2. ( I know, that was sneaky)
2.
Great review!
Thank You!!
Thanks for the clear review. I’d send 2 back too if you already have a 1. Very tough to point out differences other than noise cancellation (and the 32-bit back up plan option)
@@Andrew-ig5sp Yes, I think I might be sending it back and just picking up a load of beer. The Noise Cancellation sounds funky, I don't like it baked in, so prefer to do my own adjustments in post.
Great video thanks for sharing. To be honest when I saw Mic 1 and Mic 2 I thought it meant Mic #1 from the DJI 2 Kit, and Mic #2 from the DJI 2 Kit, maybe naming could had been better!
Did you test the bluetooth quality? Is it as good as in wireless?
very informative video, deciding factor for me if I go upgrade. Thanks. Phillip Cheers!.
Glad it was helpful!
First proper and honest review I seen of mic2
Thanks! Glad to be of assistance 🔥
I guess not as many as you lol 😜
Great HONEST comparison thank you
Thank You!
Thanks for this review! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for review. So useful for me. But I don’t know why u blur both microphones?
Great review, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks You!
Thanks for the great review of the DJI Mic 1 & 2.
You're welcome!
thank you - really make sense
Thank You! Glad it did.
Great video, thanks a lot sir. Really helps in choosing between two.
Also , thought I was getting eastern european vibes there was about to ask where you are but you answered it already :)
Love your content and honest review I have the mic 1 and will purchase the mic 2’s soon possible give the 1’s to my son
Thank You! That sounds like a great idea, you’ll both have excellent audio in that case 🔥
I'm sure the wife will love that excuse
have the mic 1 but can't wait for the Mic 2!!! great review!
Thanks! Both are superb!
Great review. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thanks. Like watching your straight to the point reviews. A couple of questions. I like shooting nature and hearing people laugh in my street videos. If using the mic 2 with the ace pro, would I be able to pickup the ambient noise around me as well, or better than the built in mics? Second question: am I correct that all I need to actually purchase is the microphone if I want to use this with the ace pro? Thanks 🙏🏾
In that case I'd use the Ace Pro built in mic, or I'd hold the DJI Mic further away from your mouth, so it'll hear more.
Thanks 😊
Great review! I didn't expect them to be this similar. The only reason I'm looking to get a single Mic 2 is because I want to use it as an audio recorder and connect a Shure SM57 or SM7B without any Cloudlifter/Interface in between and see if I can bump the levels high enough and still get decent audio quality out of it.
Thanks! That sounds crazy!! So I took 5 mins out of my day, unplugged the Shure SM7B from my Cloud CL-1 and straight into the Rode AI-1, usb-c into the DJI Mic 2, turned on 32-bit float and talked as I normally would, bumped the levels in FCPX and boom, works great.
@@PhillipSkraba Fantastic, thank you for giving it a try. I think it should even work with an XLR to 3.5mm cable without the Rode AI-1 in between. That would be a game changer for me if I can now record high quality dynamic mics without the need to buy interfaces and cloudlifters, all for 100$, is crazy. It would the ultimate portable recording setup plus, I can still use it with a lavalier, maybe even a shotgun, too. I guess anything that doesn't require phantom power should work. I need to get one ASAP 😁.
I did try that as I have a few XLR to 3.5mm adapters from Rode, but it didn't work for some reason, no idea why.
In most yes, the Shure doesn’t need phantom though 👻
If You just need to upgrade everytime and have money buy it.. 👍 Thanks for sharing Phillip
Yeah, who has the money to upgrade every single year, or even the need. Maybe people who shelf stuff more than use stuff.
Thanks Phillip. Any chance you could show us what the “float” is capable of doing? I have very limited experience with audio so knowing what it can do would be helpful.
Well, you can whisper and bring it back with hardly hiss or scream and not have it distort and sound nasty.
Thanks buddy!
You're welcome, thanks!
When using both DJI Mic 2 transmitters with the Pocket 3 built in receiver, does it put the audio in mono or stereo?
It’ll go into mono, I think you need to connect the receiver for stereo options, but I might be wrong on that, or DJI might be working on a Pocket 3 update to allow that.
Hello sir
I am thinking of buying one. Which one should I buy for Canon R6 m2? Mic 1 or Mic 2?
can I use sarmonic’s lavlair and get the same quality ?
Just ordered the mic 2 transmitter for the Ace pro. Excited to try it out.
It’s an excellent system 🔥
Does transmitter work with GoPro 12?
@@drozdoff1982 It will see it, but it won't connect, so I guess we're waiting on an update from GoPro to be able to use it.
@@PhillipSkraba what about osmo pocket2?
I don’t have any microphones at all as of now. Thinking about using my phone and also purchasing the media mod for my GoPro black hero 10. I plan on using it for interviews and videos and possibly podcasting. Which set up would you get in my position? Thanks in advance. 👍
Loved the review! But... So, which one is which?
Thank You! They were both named correctly.
Good test, and I agree there is no need for the 2 if you already have the original 👍
Exactly, unless you really need the Bluetooth.
Thanks, this review is just on point. I have the OSMO Pocket 3 Creative Kit and love the new Mic 2 as it's so convenient to use it. I also have the Mic 1 set, but will not buy the Mic 2 set, makes really no sense and it's too expensive - your video just proofs this right!
Thank You! Yes, that was totally the point of my video, it just doesn't make sense to upgrade unless you need wireless bluetooth or you're really, really, really bad at setting levels.
Not sure that the noise cancelling feature is a big deal, now that you can do this in post with programs like Davinci. Appreciate the good review.
I do it all the time in Final Cut Pro and I prefer the sound of it. Done in microphone it just sounds weird and can cause unwanted baked in sounds, so I rather not use it and wish it was harder to turn on than just by tapping the on/off button.
Great review. When you only pair the DJI mic 2 transmitter via bluetooth to the action 4, is there a way to see the battery level?
Sure, in the settings, if you go into the wireless mic settings on the Action 4, it'll show you the % of battery power left on the mic.
@@PhillipSkrabaAwesome, thanks.
Hey Phillip. I have the OA4 and i want to buy just the Transmitter. Question is if i record the audio with the Transmitter, the audio file is stored on to Transmitter or in DJI OA4? If so then i have to sync the audio file with video inside Davinci? Thank and btw all your clips are awesome
It will record onto the Action 4 instead of the built-in mic, and it will record onto the Mic 2 itself so you have a backup if you so wish. It's a great mic to have with the Action 4, works really well.
Thats great! Its exactly what i needed. Thanks @@PhillipSkraba
Anytime!
@@PhillipSkrabado it record both from Action 4 And DJI Mic 2 Source? Like example if i put in davinci it will be 2 separate audio source on editing. I hear osmo pocket 3 can do that
Great review! The more reviews I watch, the more confused I get 😅
You are the only one who showed that Dji Mic 1 and 2 are super similar. Other recordings show DJI Mic 1 is the winner, always.
Yeah, they sound identical really.
Have any videos on making the audio sound better with eq or effects?
I mainly add voice isolation, a touch of loudness and I’m done. I’m not really an audio guy, more of a visual person.
Dzięki za świetne porównanie. 😊 Czy możesz sprawdzić czy nowy odbiornik trzyma się w zimnej stopce klatki aparatu. W wersji 1 był z tym problem ale po przeróbkach jest ok. Martwi mnie że stopka bez zacisku nie będzie się trzymać w zimnej stopce mojej klatki smallrig 😢
U mnie na Sony trzyma sie dobrze 🦾
ale nie chodzi mi o aparat tylko kletkę i nie gorącą stopkę tylko zimną taką jakie sa w klatkach do aparatów @@PhillipSkraba
Ah no to bardzo zalezy od twojej klatki, w 8sinn i SmallRig jest ok, ale w Ulanzi jest tak sobie.
mam smallriga :) @@PhillipSkraba
Can both pair of mics work at the same time to the action4 by Bluetooth alone?
I'm afraid not, you can only pair one.
Kind of a dumb question, but does the mic 2 fit into the case with the attached wind muffs? Personally, I leave my wind muffs permanently attached since I do 95% of my filming in the outdoors/windy environments. A core minor annoyance I had with the mic 1 was that I couldn't simply dock them into the case with the muffs attached, and had to remove them every time to get them to fit properly. Is there now enough clearance to dock the mic 2 into its respective carrying case with the muffs attached?
It's the stupidest thing they could have done, not fix that annoying problem! The Mic 2 case will NOT fit the dead fully cats, so you WILL have to take them off. This is not the case in the case of the case of the Rode Wireless GO Mic system, there you can keep them on which makes my life much more pleasant.
@@PhillipSkraba argh, DJI has been on this personal trend for me where they've gotten things 99% of the way there, but then that 1% makes things incredibly annoying. I recently got a pocket 3 after having both a pocket 1 and pocket 2, and the new centering behavior has been driving me insane. When the camera is set to rearview, centering now behaves like tilt-lock across all 3 modes. When the camera is set to selfie view, centering behaves like FPV across all 3 modes. There's a thread up in their forums where the engineers have even stated that its the new expected behavior -- just the littlest little frustrating things, I swear 😕
@@EveryCountry Well, let's hope DJI can pick themselves up, and let's hope GoPro can too!
Saw from other reviews the wind muffs attach in a more simple matter. Less twisting more plugging
Thanks for this review… I was on the fence about selling my M1 and buying the M2. But after hearing the lack of differences; especially the noise cancellation of the M2(I wasn’t impressed) I’m not gonna bother selling and upgrading.
Cheers!
I really don't like the noise cancellation being baked in, so I never use that, it gives me more options in post. They sound identical to me.
Hi :) Have you tried to connect mic 2 to a mic 1 receiver?? :) I'd love to hear mic1 vs mic2 comparison in really really windy conditions :)
I don't believe it will connect, no.
great video, but i noticed both your mics sound a bit different than what ive heard from other people. mic 2 sounds better than it does in other videos, mic 1 is pretty much the same. i sold my rode wireless 2 couple of months ago because i wanted to get the dji mic, then i waited for this and im kind of disappointed, in most videos it sounds worse than mic 1. im not sure if it will make any difference but in many scenarios i will be using it with the rode lavalier 2 so maybe that will make it better? to me it makes a huge difference because i need them for interviews and i dont want to buy something ill sell a month later
I have the first gen and love it. I am happy DJI upgraded the mic and i love watching videos about the new mics but I won't be upgrading.
It’s a good system, but the Rode Pro is much more polished in terms of audio quality.
Great comparison. I just got the mic 2 kit, but I haven't even unwrapped it and taken it out of the box yet. I use the mic mostly for vlogging with my Insta 360 X3 and the audio sounds great directly into the camera without the receiver connected through air pods. The only drawback is I can't monitor it, but it always sounds good. I got the mic 2 with the Pocket 3 Creator Kit. I've been using the Mic 1 since it came out and I like not having the receiver when vlogging. I also didn't like the way the Mic 1 connected to my Sony. cameras. I really like the DJI Lab mic compared to the Rode, I am still on the fence, but I may send the DJI Mic 2 kit back and just keep what I have. Thank you for your review.
I sent my Mic 2 back, I have the Combo unit and that's enough for me. If I want good clean audio though I use my Rode.
Can I use both at the same time... Mic 2 on Bluetooth and mic 1 with receiver?!
In theory that should be possible, yes.
hi. how to format the dji mic 2? thanks
Via the base unit or when connected to your computer.
which city is that may i ask. i love trams.
Great vid as usual. I don't care about 32 bit float, what I do care about is the bluetooth functionality. Wondering if you could try the mic 2 with a gopro using only bluetooth, no receiver, that would be awesome!
It sees it, but it won’t connect I’m afraid, I think GoPro needs an update.
@@PhillipSkrabaDid you try the standalone transmitter with Android phone (without receiver)?
@@ProfilaxAGM Oh gosh no idea, I've never ever used an Android phone, can't help I'm afraid.
This video makes me feel really good for owning both.
Yeah, both are pretty good.
The white one might be nice for weddings and such...
That’s true!
Great video. Could you confirm if both were the CE and not the FCC versions?
Well, I bought mine in Poland, so surely CE. Thanks!
@@PhillipSkraba Many thanks for replying and your feedback.
Absolutely brilliant to have a content provider that replies to messages.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I do my best, not easy, right now in a cafe, fork in one hand, typing with the other, also renewing daughter's British passport, whilst sipping coffee. Hard knock life.
I saw where someone said that if you want to use both DJI Mic 2 mics with the Pocket 3, you have to plug in the receiver to the usb port of the Pocket 3 in order to record in stereo. If you use the built in receiver in the Pocket 3, the 2 mics will record in mono. Do you know if this is correct? If so, this would be very disappointing.
I’ll have to test that, but it could be so. You might need the base to go stereo.
@@PhillipSkraba if this turns out to be true, I'll likely not pay a premium for the DJI mic 2 and go for a lower priced 3rd party wireless mic setup. Most of my recordings will be using two mics needing to be adjusted separately in post (so I'll need to record in stereo). If I could record in stereo with the Pocket 3 built in receiver, I could justify the price. If only mono, it's not worth it for me. Thanks in advance for confirming.
@oldachyrunner that’s logical, yes. Well, I try to remember to check tomorrow in the studio.
I'm still looking for the ability to listen to the transmitted audio with Bluetooth earbuds. I have not seen anyone do that.
That would be comfortable 🤘🏻
low UNSPONSORED reviews. thank you
Thanks!
Meant love* lol@@PhillipSkraba
For recording on iPhone only would the first generation be a cheaper and still good option?
For iPhone only I’d pick up the DJI Mic 2 microphone only for $99 to be honest.
I’m gonna disagree. Get the Mic 1 for cheaper cost, and it’ll do great for iPhone only, cause you’re connecting the receiver directly to the phone.
I connect mine directly to the computer, the iPhone, a few action cameras like the DJI Action 2.
Only reason to spend the extra $100 is the 32 Bit Float for “safety net” but like he says at the end, if you know how to set your audio settings, it’s not needed.
Well, the Mic 2 microphone only is $99, so it's by far the cheapest option and it connects to the iPhone without any wires, so personally I think that is the best option.
@PhillipSkraba I have heard alot about the bluetooth connection having quality losses. Have you had any issues or noticed that?
@@assassinfox24 Mine's been fairly good, it's not the same as the wireless signal strength but it does a good job.
Good comparison, thx. The only thing that would make me consider buying the Mic2, is the connectivity of the mic. But therefore, I could also buy a standalone Mic2 (they do sell separately). I stick to my Mic1 for now. Not worth the upgrade. Actually buying a whole new set, that is.
Yes, the $99 is fine for what it is, but there is really not much point upgrading unless you need 32-bit float, and if you do the Rode Wireless Pro is the better option.
Does it still sound good when connected over Bluetooth?
Yes, very good depending on the camera of course. I did a video connecting it to a bunch of different devices.
@@PhillipSkraba Appreciate your response. I’m just looking to connect it to action 4 and iPhone.
In that case just pick up the $99 Mic 2 microphone, it does a great job by itself.
Which camera are you using ?
Sony A7S3 and ZV-E1
How does the DJI Mic 2 compare to the Rode Wireless Pro? I was about to order the Rode Wireless Pro, but am unsure of which to get now after the release of the DJI Mic 2. I shoot mainly weddings and vlogs. Thanks!
The Rode Wireless Pro is excellent, and hold the lav mic a million times better.
What do you mean with 'holds the lav mic better'? The locking mechanism?@@PhillipSkraba
Yes, it locks in on the Rode Pro. The DJI Mic 2 is as loose as a wizards sleeve, lav and fluffy dead cat come out super easy. So if you’re filming in situations where you need a solid lav connection, go with the Rode Wireless Pro.
@@PhillipSkraba Ah yes, got ya. Just bought the RØDE Wireless Pro yesterday. Today I had my first gig with it. Solid performance and yes, the lav just doesn't come off! What also pleases me really well is that the units will turn on by themselves when you remove them from the cases. They also were connected just from the very start, it was an Apple-like experience!
@@BTMovieSecondChannel Rode have been in the mic business for a long time and they make excellent microphones, I have a ton of them in my studio, and luckily a new package on its way. The fact that the lav won't pop out really does ease my mind with the Wireless Pro.
Theoretically could I just purchase a screw in lav mic for this or does the unit need to be compatible? It’s the only thing stopping me from purchasing it.
The screw in mics don't all manage to go deep in, so I've advice against that.
@@PhillipSkraba I have the Tascam DR10L but I’d love one of these to be able to record good on camera audio, curious if I could try the lav that comes with the Tascam on the DJI to see if it’s more secure.
It's worth a try! I've tried a few, not all work.
im thinking of buying the osmo action 4 and the mic 2 because im starting to make some videos for linkedin, and solo podcasting. do i need the receiver? or is the mic itself just enough?
You’ll need the receiver if you plan on using 2 mics with the osmo action. If you plan on using 1 mic you won’t need a receiver. The UA-camr “potato jet” did a bunch of tests and one of them was with the osmo action 4.
With the Action 4 you just need the $99 mic 🤘🏻
@@trill_is_bliss i plan on using 1 mic. if there are two people on a podcast, the guest is usually going to be in a zoom call.
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks a lot. if you have any guides on how to set it up without a receiver for video creation, would love to know. also, just sbscribed
@@klevissotaj7400 it’ll connect once via the Action 4 menu, after that it’ll connect automatically every time, real simple stuff really. Welcome to the channel in that case 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Can you use the mic 1 reciever and just buy a mic 2 transmitor. Will it work?
I'm afraid not, no.
I was in a shop doing the exact thing and found out the hard way so exchanging for version one tomorrow 😂😂
Noise cancelling was very minimal and your voice did change, I'll stick with my mic 1, plus like yourself I always just set the gain correctly I've never needed 32bit
Yes, I prefer to use noise reduction in post, I’m not a fan of baking it in, it makes my voice sound much worse, so I prefer the control I have in editing.
I can tell the difference on my Macbook speakers
I just ordered the Mic 2. Apparently some models have pre-production firmware which can cause some issues (based on other reviews) so I hope mine is not one of those.
Yeah? You must be an audiophile as I've listened to them a lot and I can't hear any difference, and in fact the Mic 1 usually seems a little cleaner and less muffled than the Mic 2. It's a superb system and great that it has bluetooth, that's a real step forward. Firmware we can update, I've been doing it for months with my Mic 2 as I got it way before the Pocket 3 launch.
I was watching it earlier this morning, and now that I am comparing again I am not so sure anymore 😂 both sound good though @@PhillipSkraba
@@EddyVinck I've listened to so many of these tests over the last 2 weeks and I can't tell the difference. It's only when I use a different mic, such as the Rode or Saramonic that I can actually hear that there is a difference in audio. The Rode usually comes out on top, but it's missing bluetooth connectivity if that's important to someone.
Which mic will work with the ace pro via bluetooth? It seems the new firmware from ace pro does not allow the dji mic 2 anymore?
It won't?? I will check that tomorrow morning when I'm in the studio, it should do!
@@PhillipSkraba first update the ace pro to the latest firmware. It seems that the old firmware was okay with the dji mic 2, but with the latest firmware it stopped
@@WiljanWiljan sounds like a trick 😂 In that case I don't want to update lol.
@@PhillipSkraba not sure. I found this on a german speaking channel. After the update it did not work anymore. Maybe the solution is to re install the old firmware again
That is odd, well, I'll update my Ace Pro and check. If it doesn't work I'll contact Insta360 and see what's up.
Hello! Great video...question that I can't see to find an answer on: Does the dji mic protect against clothing rustling? With my past lapel mics that rubbed up against clothing, you can hear the rustling of the cloths which would impact the main audio.
Did you put the wind muffs on either one while outside?
No it wasn’t windy at all, today it was bad so I put them on.
@@PhillipSkraba thank you for your review. I have been looking for a good all around system and my budget is crazy tight. I do VA work and have been wanting to do travel vids. I can really only afford a single system for my audio and with my soldier of a Blue snowball going out I was wondering if you feel the Mic 2 is worth it. I know its a huge ask, but I figure if I can get close enough to studio quality for my clients with the Snowball I can make either DJI system work. I want your opinion since your review was very honest.
@@assassinfox24 I personally think the Mic 2 is worth it, but then again so are all the Rode microphones, they're fantastic, you can't go wrong with any of them. I just did a comparison to the first Rode Wireless GO, which is 4 years older and I'm sure you can pick it up for peanuts used, and the results are impressive.
@@PhillipSkraba thank you, I'll start looking at them! Wish me luck!
Where’d you get it?
Well, I can't really say.
No one has answered my question on aaaall of the mic 2 vids does is it able to bt to the GoPro 12?
No, I've seen reviews that says it won't pair with the Hero 12.
@@JustinPulitzerTrades thank you for that my friend
@@TheSouthernTriker There will probably be an update that enables it to work, but to the best of my knowledge it will not currently pair. It will show up and the wheel will spin, but never connect.
No, I did a video on that, GoPro needs an update I guess.
Thanks guys I’m sure they will release an update, as long as I can use the receiver with it I’m good, would just be nice to use the BT feature though.
Do you happen to know if I can use the mic #1 with a dji osmo action camera
You can, but via a cable.
@@PhillipSkraba thanks
Either I missed it or you didn't reveal which was which. I'm gonna assume Mic2 was DJI Mic 2 and Mic 1 was the original version? To me, Mic2 sounds more tinny.
Yes, correct, both were labelled correctly.
It sounds so good did you do any changes to the settings? Mine doesn't sound like that at all xD
Nothing, level 10 on the Sony and that's it really. Keep it nice and close to your mouth, that helps a LOT.
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks!
Yes it’s worth it, 32 bit newer tech and noise canceling
The noise cancelling sounds horrible. The 32-bit float, had it, never ever needed it. It’s a good safety net for beginners though.
I never needed 32 bit float but now I have it, I never want to go back to not having it
I've had it for quite a while, and never really needed it. What situations do you use it in?
¡Hola! Iphone no permite conectar audio a su app camara y las aplicaciones al iniciar grabación deshabilita la reducción de ruido. Parece que es una restricción a la IA de DJI MIC 2. ESto ocurre a pesar de que se compra como Audio for IPHONE. ¿Publicidad engañosa o salió el producto antes de tiempo del horno? Puede ser que Apple no permite que una IA china se conecte a su celular, en este momento Black magic app no permite o desactiva la reducción de ruido apenas se inicia la grabación
Great film thanks for the comparison!
Sending it back is a good idea
The dji mic 1 is definitely on my list to buy!
Thank You! The Mic 1 is really great, and I use it a lot. The Mic 2 is of course better in terms of features, but at the end of the day, you've listened to them, they sound identical. I might send mine back.
I think it’s important not to get on the upgrade hamster wheel (unless you have money to throw away). If what you have does the job you bought it for and works fine, why waste money (especially if they sound the same)? You’ll only end up in the same situation next year when they inevitably bring out the mic 3 to grab more of your money. Wait a couple of generations and then upgrade. It’ll be worth it feature wise and by then what you have will probably need changing anyway.
@@StarWarsJay exactly!
For clarification which mic was which?
I’ll pin that to a comment in a few days, which one do you think was the DJI Mic 2?
@@PhillipSkraba no clue, that’s why I ask. I understand what you’re trying to do but at the same time I feel like making us wait a couple of days is less productive, especially if I’m trying to make a purchasing decision today.
@@PrestonGladd I think if they sound the same to you, I’d go with the Mic 1, unless you want wireless bluetooth connection to the Action 4 or Pocket 3. To me, they sound identical, I’d never be able to tell them apart. That’s my honest opinion.
The differences on paper like you’ve explained in this last comment are something I can read on DJI’s website, the sound quality, which is why I watched your UA-cam video is what I’m really trying to hear, not something you can read on a stat sheet. I don’t understand why it’s a big secret that you have to hide when I can go to another UA-cam channel and probably watch the same thing, I just prefer watching your channel. But I suppose if you’re not going to release the information now , then I’ll go to another channel to find out the audio differences. I’m not saying that in a mean way, it’s just kind of frustrating because I don’t see the point of hiding it for two days. Especially when you get items sometimes before release and give your opinions early before official launch dates. So when something hasn’t been released officially, you will release all you can and give information about it but when something has been released, you’re gonna make us wait even longer to show us the differences or tell us.
You're trying to ruin my fun Preston, as a fellow UA-camr that's just mean. This is code - they are labelled correctly.
but honestly wich one is wich? :D I think your MIC 1(Video right top) sounds better, is it the DJI 1 or 2??
They’re both actually named correctly 🔥
Thank you! Then i will get defenitly the first one haha
I like everything about the DJI mic 2 except for the sound quality. It's abit too bright and abit too detailed for spoken words, and most people use these mics for spoken word application. Nothing unfixable in post but I would prefer for it to be more on the darker side.
I've kind of liked the sound of the DJI mics, but I know what you mean, it's a little too sunny sometimes.
Is this Dji mic 2 water resistant ?
I wouldn’t use it in the rain, no.
Bit hard I live in England 😂
lav used?
Rode Lav
@@PhillipSkraba i have some interference with this lav.
@@PhillipSkraba and dji mic 1
Ok now I have to know how to actually set levels correctly with the dji mic 1 😁
I just leave it on normal and 10 on my Sony, works great.
@@PhillipSkrabaOk I ordered the Dji mic 1 now for around 200€ new. Is there anything else I have to look for while monitoring? I also have bought the rode videomic go 2 and I am no really sure what value I have to set in camera, any suggestions?
@@PhillipSkrabaand also if I export the video in finalcut, how do I know if its loud enough. For what values I have to look for?
@ibrakadabra40 I always have my camera on 10-12, that’s good for Sony levels. Keep the levels at -12 to -6 and you should be good, any higher and you could get some nasty distortion, so don’t let it peak much higher.
So what was mic 1 and mic 2? Are you saying there is no difference? Why even blur them out then?
Well, so no one has any initial thoughts as to which one is the “newer” one. There is no sound difference to my ears, no.
@@PhillipSkrabalol ofc there is a huge tonal difference...mic number 1 sounds way fuller
@JohnTrasher that is interesting. They are labelled correctly by the way, Mic 2 is Mic 2.
@@PhillipSkraba i sure keep my mic1 then :) it has more mids/lowend... mic 2 doesnt sound terrible, but also in the distance test it suffered in the turn around test
@JohnTrasher Yes, both great, but no need to upgrade from Mic 1 really unless you need wireless bluetooth.
You deliver it well as always.
Thank You!
😊😊😊
Thanks!
Mic2 was crispier on the higher freq I think mic2 is the new I liked it better
Yeah? I can’t hear anything 😂 I’m sure audio fanatics can though.
I can’t hear any difference! The sound quality is excellent
Both sound superb, it’s true!
Is Mic 1 the 2?
I’ll reveal that in a day or two and pin the comment on top. As you can hear, both excellent mics.
@@PhillipSkraba I just tried using my Rode Smart Lav+ with the DJI Mic 2 & it wouldn't work! It registered the connection, but 0 sound coming through. Might need a firmware update... or DJI is playing games & trying to push their own Lav Mic.
Really?! Oh that's crappy. It's possible they could try that, but it's an analogue connection, right? It should work whatever we plug in there in theory. I have a few from Rode, tried a couple and they work, no idea if I have the Lav+ somewhere, I'll check and see.
@@PhillipSkraba The Rode Smart LAv+ is TRRS. It works GREAT with the DJI Mic 1, but not DJI MIc2. I'm going to try the Rode SC# TRRS to TRS converter. Sucks that they stopped supporting the TRRS connections though. I also ordered the DJI Lav to try. So far in reviews I actually think the Mic 1 Audio may be superior to Mic 2. I'll do some testing and see.
To me, they sounds identical, both great mics, and if you have the Mic 1 there are only two reasons to upgrade - if you need wireless bluetooth audio (which is awesome as all I need is the mic itself and a camera), and if you're ridiculously bad at settings levels and in need of 32-bit float.
Send it back
And for that money you can buy a lot of beer 🍺🍺🍺😁
NOW THAT is the perfect answer!! You've just inspired me to pack it up and send it back, maybe 1 more video and then, beer, here I come!
sound quality-wise i don't think it's really better than even the first rode wireless go
It's exactly the same, I still use my Rode Wireless GO 1, love it! It was a game changer.
You mean your not going to tell us? I fou d the seco d mic to have a brighter sound
I pinned it to a comment on top. I found them to be identical, but then again I’m not a sound guy.
No timecode
No TRS locking
Make the charging case more than just a charging case so you can get rid of the usb-c port on the transmitter: file offload, software upgrade, tc-sync,...
Make it a little bit more expensive and add these features and I'll buy two
now it's just a software upgrade
I'm so dissapointed and hurt that they let rode win this round
Rode makes microphones, that’s all there is to say on that topic. However, DJI has made some incredible strides for a company that makes drones and cameras. I’m betting DJI Mic 3 will be insanely good.
MIC 1 is DJI Mic 2
MIC 2 is DJI Mic 1
That’s my guess, audio truly is very subjective and a little EQ goes a long way.
I’ll pin what Mic is was to a comment in a few days. It’s amazing just how similar they are in sound.
I don’t care if you are sponsored or not, I watched your videos anyway. But now I doubt if it’s even worth watching it when you have to say “not sponsored” even in your title.
Well, I got mine at the same time as the others, but not from DJI, so I can say what I want, and show it off how I want, which makes quite the difference.
@@PhillipSkraba I know, thats why I like your reviews.
@fly-pedro thanks Pedro!
i think they mess up this mic, i will gete better the hollyland
The Hollyland is sooo small!! As for the Mic 2, it’s a very, very good mic.
Mic 1 sounds way better lol
I'm no expert, maybe.
To ty polak!!!!!??????
Mozna tak powiedziec, tak.
Am I the only who think that the mic1 sounds better ?
hahaha, maybe, I can’t hear a difference to be honest!
Hello, can you tell me if the mic 1 was the Dji Mic 1 please ?
