DJI Mic Mini vs. DJI Mic 2: Which One Should You Buy? | Detailed Comparison

The DJI mics have been a staple for content creators over the years. The new Mic Mini not only gives you crispy clear audio at up to 400 meters, but can seamless connect to your DJI Action cameras, Pocket 3, mobile phone and full size cameras with the 3.5mm audio jack. In this video, I put the Mic Mini to the test against the DJI Mic 2, and list off a bunch of pros and cons of the Mic Mini.

*DJI did send me the Mic Mini to test. I was not paid for the video and the opinions and test were all my own.

Wow! After 30 different iterations of wireless microphones, manufacturers have finally realized that constantly taking off and putting on a windmuff can be annoying.

[Longevitous]

great comprehensive video. I like how it the Mini isn't really a downgrade from the 2. They focus on different use cases and benefits. The extra battery life lessens the need for a second TX. If you don't need on-mic internal recording for post production, the Mini is a no brainer. I do wish the Mini 1TX/1RX option came with a charging case instead of a dock

[gmbmedia]

This would be perfect for moto vlogs wow DJI

[cgan]

Thank you for such a comprehensive review!!

[ReadySetRC]

Every time I watch one of your videos my wish list get longer🤣 Great review👍

[gladiusverbumdei]

Won't lie, at first I was like, damn, should've waited a few months before buying the Dji Mic 2. But now, I'm like, eh, still better.

[philipsmith]

Very detailed. To the point I was slightly annoyed with how in depth you went. 😂 first time that has ever happened but I see it as a good thing. You gave me more than I even thought I would have needed. Might be the best review video I’ve ever seen. Great job.

The BT transmission audio quality isn't great. Sounds processed and cuts in and out. The Basic Noise Cancelling is impressive though.

[TVPaulD]

This was great! Told me absolutely everything I would want to know! Thanks for the thorough and informative review, super helpful!

[AndreSjoberg]

Having had and used the DJI Mic 2 since it came out, making several videos on feature and flaws (no backup recording while connected via bluetooth to smartphones being the big one, since you can’t then bring just the mic and a phone and record a crappy bt audio track to your video and easily sync and replace it with a decent internal recording later) the Dji Mic Mini is probably the version most people should get, unless one REALLY needs the internal backup recording done internally on the Dji Mic 2’s (most people don’t need it for hobby video, necessary for «pro» use/paid productions).

The bluetooth option is unusable anyway on both versions, and *most* people don’t need the 32 bit float quality of the internal dji mic 2 recordings unless they are recording in conditions where audio levels might go from normal to REALLY LOUD (i.e. during football matches or other sporting events, interviewing really exited people or recording audio from speakers who talk *really* loud at times, but then fluctuates between loud and normal volumes).

However: if one has a older iphone (with lightning), use a thick case on their phone, or use an android without usb c the Mini is not a really good option, and not the mic 2 either :/

[CLIFFLIX]

There is talk that when using Bluetooth, the digital sampling rate is slashed from 48k to down to only 16k. That would mean that any audio frequencies about 8k are cut off. When switching back to 2.4ghz transmission, the sampling rate jumps back to 48k. Have you heard this yet?

[avimah]

This guy make the best videos.

Good job man thank you

[DamianLHudson]

Everything i need my guy. You don’t miss!

[gochmyraat]

5:54 Excuse me, could you please explain what kinds of connections you talk here? I thought there is in one kind of connection: Bluetooth. Thank you!

[thebetterbuy]

I just got the combo pack, and the single in arctic White. I have the $350 Mic 2 system, but My main focus will be the Hollyland Lark 2 vs the mic mini1. I just got into the Lark system 2 weeks ago and love it, so I am super curious about this.

[AtortAerials]

I never found myself saying about any nice I'm using....I wish I had something smaller. 😂 I'll have to see what you say but man we can't keep buying the latest and greatest there is so much more to life than that. Thankfully you get them free. 😊

[tinjastv]

very good review and detailed testing, i am already convince and i ordered one today 2tx & 1rx combo, this will be a perfect companion for my osmo action 5 pro ❤️

[AjaySingh-]

Great review of the DJI Mike Mini. I'm really impressed with the size and weight of the microphone, as well as the battery life and range. I'm also interested in the audio quality, especially when using the noise-cancellation feature. Thanks for the review!"

[elimargarabillo]

Thank you for the effort on using the mic on different modes and situation.

[eathon]

Very very detailed review 👌 extensive testing for all of us “general” users. Excellent work. Thanks
