Cannot thank you enough for this great deep dive. I was so close to boxing mine back up and returning them (actually had them boxed up with the return label). Decided to search one last time for an in-depth tutorial. Found yours and discovered a LOT more about the system than I knew, including some things I was doing wrong. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. It definitely got me off the "ship back ledge" and now looking forward to using them. Thanks dude!

Thanks!

Believe it or not, I bought the DJI Mic 9/22/22 and just used it today (8/13/23) for the first time. I have a horrible habit of buying ahead of my skill set ... I watched this video at least once after buying and watched again this morning before my first go ... actually using the transmitter only for voice over. Very happy and this video helped me a lot! I know it is a year old video but I am a year behind. Your channel is a huge resource/reference for me as I slowly learn video technique, video editing and storytelling. Thank you, Jevon!

These things are nuts. As someone who's been doing production for 20+ years, I cannot believe how these work, and all the little details they got right. And they're SO SMALL.
Great video. These are coming on sunday and I feel like I know exactly how to use them already thanks to your video.

You did an absolutely superb job on this tutorial. Not even DJI could have done a better job. I just got this microphone set and I am watching your tutorial three times to fully grasp all this system can do. I am even more impressed with this kit because of your instructional video. Outstanding job and thank you again.

I am an older user--in many years old--and doing interviews and 'other things' in my community and for my community. I made the purchase of the DJI mic and you have been extremely helpful in getting me going. If I could give 2 thumbs up, I would do it.

I'm using these to help me record better audio lectures from my college classes. The form factor and feature base made me pick these over the Rode Wireless Go II, despite my love for their other products. Thank you for such an in-depth video, I'm not only inspired by your production, but will also be subscribing. Again, thank you so much!

A great beginners guide. Clear and concise with all the information I need to start using the DJI MIC with confidence. Thank you.

[TeamAPS]

This was literally the perfect video for these. I just got the DJI Mic myself and every second of this guide was helpful information. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

[GeorgePrince]

I just got this system yesterday as I am now adding interviews to my photography workflow. I watched all the way through and learned a lot. Thank you so much. I also do a lot of drone work and now I can easily just bring this with me to record that auto to later add to my otherwise silent drone videos. You're the best and many thanks!

[cjexplores]

I’ve just received mine and this has been so helpful! Such an in depth walkthrough of the entire system 🙌🏼🙏🏼

[LauraTryUK]

This video is so helpful as I have just bought this mic set-up. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Amazing wireless mic system. It's super easy to use. The only confusion people might have is using the Mono and Stereo modes with one or two mics.
Mono one mic - records dual mono track (1 person talking) No post audio editing needed)
Mono two mics - mixes both mono tracks into a single stereo track (two people talking at the same time) No post audio editing needed.
Stereo one mic - records only the left channel (you have to duplicate this track in post to have stereo sound)
Stereo two mics - send the L and R channel individually to the receiver and you have a single stereo track (not practical for recording two people as you will have one person on the L and the second on the R . You have to mix the channels in post to have Stereo)
The easiest way to see how this works is plug your headphones into the receiver and get your mics out, change from mono to stereo, play with the options and you will see how it changes the sound and channels live.
I am using this with a Sony A7III and the audio input level on my camera is set at 3.

Super excited about these mics. Just did my first talking heads video and it will also be a staple at wedding ceremonies for me. The ability to record the groom and officiant and have back ups in case the feed into the camera bugs out is just that extra level of confidence. Love it!

Exact infos we are looking for. Straight to the point, thank you!!

[PepsetScotPassionChiens]

I have receive my Mic today in Belgium and your tutorial is really perfect with all the necessary informations.
Thanks a lot.

This was like a Masterclass! Huge amounts of very helpful and relevant information. I've been trying to decide on an external mic for videos I'm making for a travel agent. Thanks for helping me decide. I'm in!

[mikaylagrace]

Is it just me, or does the cold shoe mount not really "slide" easily off? lol

[theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Super helpful video!! I know that DJI has some stuff, but I found this first. I bought the setup to hopefully use for both voiceover and out and about shooting/voice. Your video addressed both. I particularly appreciate the Workflow chapter. Not to negate the first 2 chapters which helped me tremendously, but workflow is often not included in “how to” videos and I think that info is so helpful. I am a very new videographer (hobby) and the workflow is the last piece of the puzzle for me. Thank you!

[AlexanderBischof]

Perfect introduction for me. Got the mic yesterday. It's really amazing and a superb combo. All you need for so many situations.

[jonathansnagel]

Great info! Thanks for making this. So
Far i’m using these mics for both short films and also for improv where 2 actors can walk freely around the stage and have their audio captured cleanly. The problems i’m working on troubleshooting still are the transmitter gain for loudness, muffless, and echo in a loud space. Otherwise I love
These mics so far! Thanks for making the video!
