DJI Mic Mini: Ultimate Compact Audio for ALL Creators?

The brand new DJI Mic Mini has joined the ranks of compact microphone systems and this system... does NOT disappoint! Even after only 4 days with this microphone system I already notice improvements in audio quality compared to the 24-bit from the DJI Mic 2 Each transmitters weighs basically nothing at 10 grams and the entire system is so seamless. The DJI Mic Mini may be the newest powerhouse compact audio solution for creators, but does smaller actually mean better? What do you guys think?

$169 USD for this system is GREAT! $89 USD for the single TX system! Good job DJI for not over pricing this basic audio system! 👏 Going to make my comparison to the Hollyland Lark M2 a little more interesting...

such good quality, gonna tell all my camera friends about this channel

[saca.technology]

Such a great video man! Keep up with the good work, you're going to be huge on YouTube

As someone using this for sports BTS content, knowing it goes the full length of a football field without issue is really good to know!

The way it needs to be plugged into the phone like that to change settings is ridiculous 🤣 Glad i seen this video because i was thinking of getting one

[robertchamberlain]

Great review, thank you! I recently learned that you can connect the receiver to the Mimo app without physically plugging it in to your phone. Simply hold the power button down for 6 seconds and the light will flash blue indicating Bluetooth mode. You will then see an option to connect to the receiver wirelessly via the Mimo app.

Thanks for sharing the raw audio dude. A lot of YouTubers do a lot of tweaking with their audio. Where I think non pro creators will just use it direct straight from the device itself

One of the major comparative advantages of the original dji mic was that it did a separate recording on the transmitter...big setback that omission.

[jennifergala]

Connecting the mics with the Osmo pocket 3 via the Bluetooth the quality is as good like connecting with the receiver?

[TravelsByTrike]

I just got this system. I love the small form factor, and the sound is terrific, but...I actually use the record to the internal transmitter feature of the Mic 2. I will miss that, particularly when using Insta360 X4.

Hi bro, from india,
I brought lark m2 but noise reduction was not good so i returned, now i confused to get dji or m2...can u help me

[LALivestreams]

Great form factor but poor range compared to my go to the Godox movelink ii m2 - they work as for example a ref mic for Rugby League with zero issues. I bought the Mic Mini as a short range backup and they sound great.

[ErikPelyukhno]

8:45 16kHz when connecting to the phone? That’s not good, I wish I could hear how that sounds but I imagine it would be muffled.

[skycamvideo]

I just bought the mic mini as a stand alone mic for my phone and neo drone. I to wash upset to find i needed the receiver to alter settings on the mic and you can't do it by Bluetooth. Dji need to address this asap. Otherwise how can i update firmware etc.

[sherintalkz]

Where do you live bro? That distance test area was just beautiful ❤️

[simonaleman]

How do you use the mini with the phone? Third party app or mimo. Can you record video with mimo?

[TakTang]

Thx for the review. I’m currently using the original DJI Mic to record athletes on the court (mic’d up sessions). Is there a way to monitor the audio with the Mini? The original DJI Mic, I can monitor the audio while recording. TIA.

Does it record stereo when both transmitters are connected to the Osmo pocket 3 without a receiver?

[Gadgetify]

do you have the link for the Lightning adapter? This seems like a good system for me. I was going to get a Godox one, which is also in this price range but why bother now :)

Hello! Just watched both reviews for the HollyLand Lark M2 and DJI Mic Mini. The most important question I have is do both mics get drop outs when not facing the receiver at close range? I noticed you pointed this out for the M2 video at 25 feet. But I was curious what the limit was for the DJI. Or is it typical for these sorts of mics to just have drop outs if you're turned around even if you're like 5 feet away from it?
