Best wireless mic for filming on your phone

Wireless microphones have become smaller and more portable. Recently, both DJI and Rode released compact versions of their wireless microphone systems, designed specifically for creating videos with your phone. The Verge’s Andru Marino tested these new mics alongside several other wireless options to determine which is best suited for your video production needs.

Be honest. How many of you actually like the $5 TikTok mic?

[SummerSausage]

DJI really been listenging to customers the last 5 years while other brands have not. they took the cake from gopro, now rode. love to see it.

[TheMassgames]

Dji is one of the few brands listening to customers and actually delivering QUALITY products at a reasonable price

I was just about to buy a mic, this video is perfect. I'll be going DJI as it offers more.

I’m surprised you didn’t include the hollyland lark m2 in the comparison

[TuckerPearce]

The Rode didn't sound great outside. DJI seems like the way to go for most.

The backup recording on the dji lavs are great for when things mess up or if you set the gain wrong, it’s a must have feature

[rakohasan]

I’m pretty sure the rode micro works on any device that accepts usbc as an audio input. Not just phones

[wasiur]

I appreciate the quality that you guys provide no questions asked. Genuinely impressed with how good these videos are no matter the topic.

How’d you not compare also to the HollyLand Lark M2s?

I pre-ordered the Rode Wireless Micro and have played with it a lot - I was pleasantly surprised to learn it can plug right into my MacBook. I've successfully used it for video calls as easily as I would any other USB mic, which is really cool. I'm using it for audio-only amateur interview work, and am jealous of that MixPre-10.

I'm also generally happy with the Rode Reporter app, but I wish there was an easy way to spot-check a high-latency but still-live version of the recording using, say, AirPods or support for a ridiculous dongle arrangement with wired headphones. For long-running audio, it helps to be occasionally checking on the sound of the person you're interviewing so that you aren't accidentally getting fabric noise or whatever the whole time.

Peace be with you! This is a crowded area having many tiny mics available. A comprehensive review of them all is required. The comparison should include BOYA mini, DJI Mic Mini, Hollyland Lark 2, Pico Gear PICOMIC 3, Rode Wireless Micro, Shure MoveMic et al. Thanks

Does the DJI Mic Mini have a magnet like the Mic 2?

[Ftravelers]

Thanks for this video. I’m going on vacation next month and was thinking about buying the dji mini. Now I will.

This is a great review video, thank you.
