Biggest issue: If you are a solo shooter shooting 2 talents or 1 = DJI you have to swipe up twice on the receiver controller to get both recorders to start and do the same for them to stop.

Rode : You press one button on the receiver and both backup mics start to record and stop with one simple press.

Rode sounds better but If you have the DJI Pocket 3 there is not option. The DJI is the only way to go.
The ease of use with the DJI is just easier and get great audio.

If you are doing a two person interview with a lighting setup, hair light and background lights. Get the Rode.

RODE sounds a lot better in the side by side comparisons

[DFWMoose]

Thx. I love that you use chapter markers for review purposes after watching.

[KeshenMac]

Comprehensive comparison
Clear agreeable conclusion
Bravo!

Nice review, I see they sell the Mic 2 as a stand alone, a huge plus for us Osmo pocket 3 owners, yay!

[nasirify]

such an incredible review 🤩 You Nailed it 😎

[LiamPhotoATL]

One thing I think you missed is that the RODE Wireless Pro also includes TimeCodes which are a big deal for some customers but I agree with you in that I LOVE RODE products but went with the DJI Mic 2 system. I like the smaller form factor and the total control with the Receiver unit. Also I don't believe the RODE system supports Bluetooth so no connecting it wirelessly to my Pocket 3 like I can with the Mic 2.

[KerugmaProductions]

Did you perhaps tried to use the Rode Lavalier II that was included with the Rode Pro on the DJI 2? I am interested to know if there would be a difference and if, how much of a difference. I like everything about the Dji 2, however I would very much rather go for the “broadcast” audio of the Rode.

Very nice and deep review for me i will going with the DJi ones because they need less cables to operate and the more compact size

[GeoffCooper]

Great video. I've also tried both of these but had to choose the DJI over the Rode because the wireless connectivity with my Pocket 3 is just too useful! Outside of that I definitely preferred the Rode, and 100% agree with the Rode charging case being better for fitting in a 'real' setup.. I basically end up not using the DJI charging case!

[ItsMeRen]

I actually prefer the sound of the dji mic2, and I agree with your choice. Its portability and ease of use are definitely game-changers.

[swaspc]

Great review! Wireless connectivity with the Pocket 3 is a no-brainer. I choose DJI. Although Røde's sound is better, but not on all occasions.

[RonaldBrown]

Both wireless mic systems seem really good for anyone who is trying to record clean audio in the field.You couldn't go wrong with either one. And like you, I prefer the DJI Mic 2, it's a little more user friendly and I like the form factor. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

[LaloRacer]

Terrific review! I've owned the Wireless Go II system for a few years and have been pleased with the results, feature set, and longevity. While the DJI Mic 2 caught my attention with its smaller form factor, for video use especially, I think the Wireless PRO will be my next wireless mic investment as my current system begins to show signs of aging with slightly worse battery life. I prefer the warmer & fuller sound profile, higher storage capacity, battery life, and feature set, along with Rode's amazing customer support. I think I can live with the larger footprint and work around it. Thank you for sharing!

[KimberlyAmato]

I have to thank you for these reviews. I've ended up moving to the DJI mic 2 and the Osmo Pocket 3 for my travel videos. I still use the GoPro Hero 12 for underwater and action with the mod lens 2.0. I'll be awaiting your comparison videos when the Action 5 and Hero 13 come out later this year.

[heppylifestyle]

another outstanding vid. love the comment about logo / free advertising for these folks; seems like audio via the lav had lower quality than wireless; this is the second of 2 vids of urs where the Rode just sounds the best, as you mentioned; HOWEVER, Rode receiver issue (not easy to change) has me thinking about buying a Rode or not. yes, it's 2024 ... like, wt#?

[AmericanEnglishBrent]

I have the OG DJI mics, but I have a 2 coming with my DJI osmo pocket 2. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the helpful info.

[petercofrancesco]

Great review glad you turned off the low cut filter, it makes dji sounds bad. I prefer the DJI its easier to use, smaller form factor, and better compatibility with pocket and action cameras. The Rode has slightly better internal mic and includes lavs but even though the lavs sound good they fall off the clip easy and the locking ring is designed poorly making it easy to not lock if you're not careful. Both systems will do the job but DJI has all these small advantages that add up.

[davidbarcenas]

What mic do u recommend for gopro. I know in the pass u chose rode

[aaronmelson]

I have the OG dji mics and love them. The rode Def sounded better than the 2's but if I didn't already have the OG dji's I would choose the mic 2.
