Been using the DJI mic for a dome ENG work with interviews. NOTHING TOUCHES THIS PRODUCT. INCREDIBLE

This is one of the rare times that a product exceeds expectations. I bought it right before my trip. Money well spent.

I bought this brand new when it first came out and love it! I still have my Zoom H4N but it doesn't get much use anymore. The big thing for me especially for what I shoot is that I had to be able operate it wirelessly without being near the subject at all and this solved that and provides an EXTRAORDINARY sound quality thats great! This is a no brainer purchase for anyone who does anything audio related.

I love that you can record on just the mic itself without the receive, or record to the receiver and the mic so you have a backup no matter what.

I got mine 8 months ago and has been one of my favorite pieces. I used it a lot on real estate, interview and personal content. Never got signal problems, audio files are really good and all packed like AirPods. If they break, definitely gonna buy again the same or next model.

I use mine mostly as backup audio capture but always keep it in my kit for those unexpected video shoots where I don't have easy access to the talent to wire them up (conferences), or impromptu interviews where none were requested. Because they deploy so quickly and have internal recording, I can be ready in mere seconds over my standard Sony wireless that requires fresh batteries, frequency scan and matching. My biggest complaint is with the cold-shoe mount, which I wish would be improved. It's fine for straight on cold shoe, but can't easily be placed anywhere on a rigged up camera without some modifications or workarounds. Even a 1/4-20 thread on the bottom would be ideal, so that I could use a mini ball head mount or similar as an alternative. As a "version 1.0" product though, I have to give DJI credit for their fantastic all-in-a-case solution and intuitive interface. My suggestion is to pair these with the Shure MVL microphone for even better sound, and a more discrete appearance if you're attaching it to talent's outerwear.

I bought a Rode Wireless Go and then the II version. The II version failed after a few months so I got it replaced and then sold it. Now I'm back on the original Wireless Go. I have to say I am jealous of this DJI system, it looks like a big upgrade :)

Looks like a great system. The only thing I think they could really improve with the next version would be to have 32 bit float on the internal recording on the transmitters as a back up, that way there should never be any issues with back up recordings.

I am in the same boat, I see many more people pushing the Rode Wireless setup, but I did my research and preferred this one, and have not had any reason to regret it. Well one case, the Insta360 X2 has an adapter for the Rode that does not work with this out of the box, but same as you yet again I normally just record locally and not use the transmitter so that has never been an issue for me.

One way I use the DJI mic a lot is for bands. I plug the transmitter with the 1/8 inch cable to the Headphone jack from the band's board and voila! Clean sound.

I don't have the case, I just got a single Tx and Rx kit. But I don't need more. I found a nifty case on the jungle site with tear out foam squares that fits my DJI mic, my DJI pocket 1, and a smatree external battery and tripod with 2 adapters, with a zip pouch for cables and the dead cat. It's been great! For anyone looking for something that gets the job done as good today as it did 2 years ago, the first gens are fine.

Your combination of presenting information, real world tests and personal experiences made this really informative! Instant sub, keep going Matt! :)

Listen, the whole idea (for me) of this system is to have a fully wireless + transmitter for my very high quality lav mics. The fact i can use each of the transmitters as a mic is a bonus. I get that people but these just as mics, but that is secondary for me but also a huge bonus. I recommend the Shure MVL lav mics to go with them, but do your own research!

I clipped one of these right onto a mic stand using the magnet clip beside the wired mic. I also have metal clamps I use to put these mic's almost anywhere like a podium. They work well for event filming and livestreaming.

This video sealed the deal for me!!! I was on the fence whether to purchase DJI or Rode mic system. Done deal ! Getting ready to purchase as we speak and send this cheap one I bought back!Thank you!!

Having a little panel on the rear of the case with enough room for the fluffies and the cables would be great.

Hands down this is the best DJI mic review on the internet. When he went out to 800ft I was sold!

Bought just some random hardcase for my DJI Mic, and it's pretty much solved a problem. It has dedicated zip pocket for cables and deadcats, and it protects the main charging unit from scratches and other things. It was like....5$. 100% worth it.

Started using this on my channel as I was having sound issues with everything else I tried. Hands down game changer

just bought the mic. great, thorough review. thank you to you (as well as to everyone confirming in the comments).

I’ve only just invested in this product after stepping on my lav mic when setting up…lol 3 hour event, and all I got was sshhhhhhhhh…glad I recorded on other devices.

I have watched this video Twice, as I am Interested in the DJI OSMO 6 for our upcoming Cruise to Alaska. I have a DJI Drone so I know they are Quality. Your explanation and description of your experiences, solidifies my decision to purchase the kit. Thanks for the Help!

About transmit distance - Seems like there are 2 versions: One forUS (FCC) with higher power output (250m distance) and one for EU market (CE) with lower transmit power output (160m distance)

Legend, this microphone was absolutely outstanding, including the drones. We have been using it at the studio, and on location on a regular basis, especially being a lifesaver at locations away from the office, I don’t think touchwood we’ve had a single problem with it, yet, reliable, tiny, sounds pretty decent, kind of ridiculous for the price point to be fair And excellent coverage,

Shame it was only half way through for a proper audio test - to me that was night and day with the (presumably) shotgun the rest of the interview was filmed with. Way more hollow, and with a noticable noise floor. BUT: for only £300 I'll definitely get a set for backup when I need to hide a mic somewhere awkward. That magnet mount and local backup recording are great features

this needs a version 2 with a stronger clip that doesn't break and also more RF interference protection and 32bit is great.

"I guess I'm going for a walk." That's when I had to hit the Like button. Loved the review! Just got the DJI for myself and just learning how to use it. Thanks for the review. Recording a comedy show is really a trial by fire for any system. Very creative way to use your DJI.

Happy you exist! Thanks Matt!

"Reliability" Yeah, I've been through 3 of them now. Each one had a different problem that required a return within the first month of operation. If/When they ever release a second version I'll take a look at it again because I still like all of the functionality that other brands still don't have. For now however, in my experience their quality control is absolute garbage and I won't be putting myself through troubleshooting this particular product again.

I LOVE my DJI Mic kit. The whole experience of using it is an absolute joy. I was trying to decide at first between it and the Rode Wireless Go, and all of the comparison videos that I watched really understated how much better the DJI is. I'll be doing some jobs with a specific company where I have to use the Rode, and it's awful by comparison in some big ways.

Thanks for the thorough review. It's good to know that it still holds up after a year.

Great review-- thanks!

Thanks a lot for this video demonstration. Although expensive for my standards, I still chose it because of the ease of use, ease of automatic pairing.

Your first vid I have watched for this review , SOLD!!!! just ordered one... wish I had it on my last hike with the misses... Cheers mate , from down under...

Thank you for this review! Very informative. I got a good laugh in today watching this when you tested the distance.Hilarious..Yes, I agree what anyone would be doing that far away from the the receiver but who knows, that feature could definitely come in handy for something lol😄

When i realized the case has no space for the deadcats and the cable i was very disappointed. How was this such a oversight? Just make the top 2cm taller and its fixed. But i also noticed some major flaws on DJI gimbals so this seems to be normal :/

Thank you for the review, and good on you for sharing your friend’s gig 😊

great review Matt....I agree with your point about a case that carries everything in it (dead cats, etc.)....I would also love that updated one to be 32 bit float...

Love your recommendation about adding a bit of room to the case to store (at a minimum) the windscreens.

Can’t connect the hot shoe mount on the receiver

Excellent production. Well thought out, lots of different shots, well spoken, bravo.

DJI does many half assed products which are good but just not excellent the DJI Mic is as close as DJI has ever come to perfect as you said only downside is that not everything fits in the case. I sold my two Rode wireless set ups and bought a second single Dji Mic. Pity it does not come in a case so rather get a double.

It's an amazing product that "just works"

The colors in this video 🤌🏻

All youtuber reviews are so overwhelmingly positive but when you dig a little bit deeper, some people report severe issues, makes you think

I'm definitely getting the DJI version instead of the competition . this review made up my mind .

yeah... I'm gonna hop on this train!

It’s still worth it , nothing has come close of being better imo

this is such a great review, thank you so much!

Those "is this product from 2022 still worth it in 2023" reviews are so helpful

Dji wireless mic vs rode shotgun go2 mic for audio quality sound ?

Your review is really good! You have identity and you POV brought me a new perspective. Tks

I must say. The microphone can go the distance. Especially when it is up higher with the receiver than the transmitter. But at the same height may be less? However? The fact that you are doing this test. Right below. High tension power lines above. Is a Testament. To its operational capabilities. It was not being interfered with much. Until you got more than 800 feet away. That is what I would call more than respectable. As most wireless microphone systems barely make it 100-300 feet. So that is Exceptional. And it sounds good.. Until you got to,, 800 feet. When it started to break up a bit. But then you were recording within. And you had clean audio, also. You could insert overtop of the audio that was breaking up. And mute that track. Yes. Wireless microphones can get a little pricey. But those are designed to be, very affordable. The other Professional Versions by other manufacturers. Can go sky high in price. Sky high. And they will really work no better. They may not even work as well. So I'm impressed. As a 20 year Network Television Broadcast Veteran. And Top Engineer. I'm, impressed. I might even purchase that for myself. As this was really a fine, Demonstration. So the folks at DJI make some really good stuff. Especially when it comes to transmission systems. They have to for their flying drones.. They can go up to about a few miles out. So that's beyond exceptional. That's Military Capable. But only for about, 40-45 minutes at a shot. Then they come down. Or they automatically returned home. Before you get to where you want to go. Or for you make it all the way back. And they go down. Sometimes, permanently. Other times you risk your life to retrieve them. But at least with DJI. They will sell you an insurance policy. So that does happen. They will replace it. With a perfectly good, full warranty, Refurbished unit. And I have no qualms with Refurbished gear. In fact I like it. It's usually better tested. Because it has been repaired. And they check it out thoroughly. Because they don't want to have to send you another for a year. And so there is no fear. With your RF wireless microphones. That they will get lost in production. Except? When your guest walks away and leaves. And you suddenly realize. You never got the microphone back from them. It's still in their pocket. And they just got on a plane. And the TSA confiscated it. And through it in the trash. Oh well? It's going to happen. Not if but when. Count on it. And so that digital recording will go with them. If the camera did not record it well. Whoops.. It'll happen. Just you wait and see. And so when you have an important guest to interview. You put both microphones on them. You asked the questions from the camera position off microphone. You can always reinsert your questions, later. By redoing them. This way. If anything goes floozy with one of the microphones. The other one will be fine. And it will save your ass. When you are interviewing an important guest on camera. Just so you know. Record the microphones to, 2 separate channels. You have left and right. Put one on each track. Do not combine them together. Because if one goes floozy. It won't sound good. With the other okay one. Put them on separate tracks. Sometimes that happens on a windy day also. You'll have wind noise in one microphone. When you won't in the other. It always goes like that. And you will be offering up far better audio than most. That way. And it's oh, so easy. When you've got the gear. Now that thing is as big as a huge dead beetle. And sometimes that is going to be seen. On your clothing. What the hell is that?! Is that a mouse? Is that a bug? Yeah no. You don't want that. That's distracting. And so? You may want to obtain a microminiature lavalier microphone with, a, cord, on it. To keep the microphone invisible on camera. And plug it into the little transmitter. They stick in their pants pocket. Or you clipped to their belt or trousers. Or you stick the microphone in the middle of their brassiere. And they won't have a big chunk in the middle of their BOOBS. Look Bob she's got 3 nipples? You don't want that. That's where an ultra miniature lavalier microphone comes in. To her brassiere. And will not be seen. Will only be heard well. As her BOOBS also help to direct the sound into the microphone. With no pops or blasts. As she has 2 large pop filters. In the way. To defuse the air coming from her lips. So no problem that way. But do not clip it. To a guys chest hair. That is not recommended. Use gaffer's tape instead. Then pull it off quickly. It's always good for a laugh. And they will have this chunk of missing hair. Tell them they can get the rest waxed if they want to. But that you do not have enough gaffer's tape. To do their whole chest now. They will understand. So do not do that. That way. Tape the lavalier. To the inside of their shirt or jacket. Tape it, under their ties. That way the alligator clip jaws. Will not run or snag their silk ties their wife gave them. As she will never forgive you. And you will be in bad standing with them. So do not do that with the alligator clip. Use the gaffer's tape. That's why gaffer's have it. It is not duct tape. Duct tape leaves behind sticky crap. Gaffer's tape does not. Unless you leave it on for days, weeks, months, on end. Then yes. It leaves behind a powdery, sticky, mess.. So take it off when you are done using it. And there will be no problems with gaffer's tape. Do not use duct tape. They look the same but they are not the same. And get black gaffer's tape. Always have a role of it handy. As a gaffer. And you see their credits on all Hollywood movies and TV shows. It does not say Duct Tapers, right? Right.. It says Gaffer's. Because they have the special tape.. No one else does. You don't find that stuff at Home Depot. You only find duct tape there. So ordered from B & H in New York City. They got great prices. And owned by a bunch of Orthodox Jews. That look really funny when you walk in their store. What's with the hat and the sideburns daddy o? You wouldn't understand, schmuck. Right. How about some gaffer's tape? You never want to be without, black gaffer's tape. Black is better than gray. Gray shows stains. RemyRAD

Does the dji case charge to only 80% to save on batter lifespan?

I bought these and honestly, never got a decent sound out of them. Prefer the Wireless Go 2’s although those are a little clunky looking.

Love this microphone

The best mic!

I got it 3 days a go and I have problem the voice cut I don't know why 😢

I'm guessing this mic is designed for spoken voice. Would be nice to know how it performs outdoors recording nature or industrial sounds?

Thank you for this very detailed video ! Very useful

It’s the best in the market for its price.Well designed!!

Can I use this on my iPhone when going live on social media?

I have been using mine for a while, started out great but not getting some noise, like breaking up up. I have contacted their service dept. and probably need to send it back. :-( I wish it worked right

Does putting the mic inside the shirt and magnet on the outside pose any potential issues?

My only concern is that there is no locking system for external mics. That's literally the only reason why I haven't bought a set yet.

does not work any more with android

Do both mics sync up when recording in to the mics menory

Are you using a boom mic?

Rode Wireless Pro lasts almost 4 hours with 32-bit recording on board. Just keep it in mind.

Has anyone experienced a massive drop off in gain using the DJI transmitter as a standalone recorder? The first 10 minutes may be the +6 gain that I have it programmed for, but then suddenly the audio will be barely audible.

You said you didn’t know why you’d need 800ft of range. Filming skiing/snowboarding could require that. Throw a mic on someone while you’re filming them.

Perfect! Thanks.

Great video! But did you use the mic to record this video? You don't state as much upfront...

Hi, could you help please. my receiver connected to my iPhone fell in the lake. I still have the 2 Mics. Is it possible to buy only a replacement receiver TX or any other options. feeling a bit lost :(

This was an excellent review Sir! 👌 Thank you!

Can you use 3 different mics at the same time?

If you clip it under your t-shirt, isn't there any rustling noise when you move? Also. When you want to record yourself without any receiving end you can plug the receiver into (let's say a drone), can that be done too? Edit: You answered the question in the video. :D

Your picture looks very sharp @720p. Good job bro... & great product review

10:47 great video thank you! But honestly I'd rather have a smaller case than bigger just to fit the cats.

Can you plug this into your Phone with a small USB c cable? Instead of the little adapter as it wouldn't fit with phone case on

Appreciate this review. Thanks!

The ability to record in 32 bit would make it perfect!

Recomenda para Streamer e gamers ?

Nice review

Thanks, this really helped!

I loved this mic to start with, until l needed to get the copy off the mic… the file skips and doesn’t record parts of conversations.. l’m now also having issues with one of the mics spiking… very frustrating…. Firmware didn’t resolve it…

How tough you find the DJI mic? Did it ever fall while clipping on the shirt?

Phenomenal review!!!

Really useful. 'Clean' presentation

You forgot to put the link to the comedy show

Does the receiver have any storage in it, or does it HAVE to be connected to something that stores the audio? Maybe I missed something. You did an excellent job of presenting. Very helpful. Thank you.

On iPhone the sound is Mono on android is stereo

Does it work using a IPhone 12 ProMax?

This is a great review. Thanks a lot 👍

Can this work on the iPhone 14?

Thanks for this upload ! I see more shorts on my subscribed page than seeing real youtube videos now . I hate shorts !

Can the receiver plug into a PA system like a Bose speaker? I need to connect a lavalier mic into the transmitter to play an instrument.

what mic are you using for this video>>>??? sounds really good

I had not realized that it included adapters for USB-C and iPhone!

I love the convenience this offer, must have in my opinion
