I think I've officially made the switch back to the DJI system! Let me know your choice though and what you factored in!

[patrickleidgens]

I am a TV cameraman for years and I ordered DJI Mic 2. Seeing the reviews I was a bit worried that the sound would be lacking some presence. I received DJI Mic 2 yesterday and made some tests. DEACTIVATING LOW CUT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Then the voice is much more full, bass comes back and the sound of this tiny thing becomes amazing. Definitely be aware this is a really important setting. Really impressed so far.

Honestly SO SMART using the mic test as your sponsor clip. Makes the viewer, who clicked on the video to listen to them, not skip through the sponsor section

[mlegrand]

Is it just me or does the Rode Mics sound fuller? When you're walking around on the pier, I get that there's a lot of environmental noise but I think I'd prefer that over that overly digitized sound of the DJI noise cancelation. 🤷🏻‍♂

[BassManStrikes]

The big advantage for DJI is the ability to connnect to devices with no reciever

[VinceKBand]

Already bought my dual kit. I love my DJI Mic 2 with my Pocket 3. Have been waiting on them to sell the mics separately. So i bought a whole dual set to keep with my Pocket 3 and then take my other Mic 2 and keep that bluetoothed to my Ace Pro.

Thank you for the video. Honestly, the DJI looked like a better offer until I heard the sound quality. Rode has a much much better quality

[RonaldBrown]

The upgrade to 32 bit float, and adding noise cancellation are interesting new features. I think it's time to upgrade. Great review, thanks for sharing.

[rafvelasco]

After watching 10 different reviews from 10 different content, creators, and hearing 10 different audio quality comparison…. If I am being honest and unbiased, the road wireless pro, hands-down, has a better audio quality 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ronnie]

I know that sound preference is more subjective, but as far as your comparison test is concerned, I prefer the DJI's, in fact the vocals are crisper and more pleasant to the ear, which is great for recording people's activities, such as character interviews, wedding ceremonies.

[ChadPrime]

Iv had the wireless Pro on backorder for over a month, just canceled it and ordered the DJI.. the rode does sound better, but I would expect DJI to release some firmware to fix its downfalls. I like the smaller size and Bluetooth capabilities.

[gabrieldg]

My fear when doing a range test with mics and so far away from the camera, is someone stealing the camera 😂 but great review as always David! I'm a DJI fan so I'll be buying their new set up over Rodes

[yourdaybylucas_]

Great video! As a wedding videographer I think the rode is the better option including two locking lavs + more storage but the dji looks solid. Personally I thought the sound on the rode was much better.

[rickendesai]

On the Dji the Lav mic wire can be pulled under the clip. It has a slot to lock the wire in.

[andyklapper]

Just an FYI, from other reviewers - while the lab doesn't lock, you can loop the wire into a catch that is built into the clip, which at least gives you some pull resistance.

[aaronmelson]

i have the original mic and am happy with it. Im glad DJi updated the system however.

[RGMGFitness]

David, great review as always. What’s interesting (and I think others have mentioned as well) is I personally like the MIC “without” the noise cancellation. It just sounds more authentic….I want to hear waves 🌊 in the background when people film at the beach 🏝. I’m sure noise canceling has it place (like when I’m filming at the wife decides to run the dishwasher 😳). But for the most point I’ll probably keep noise canceling off. Thanks again! Already got my order in on this one. 👍

[burry]

Holy smokes. The Rode audio is next level.

[AlexUlleri]

Boy oh boy the DJIs sound horable. I've been using a Tenticle track E for a 32 bit lav. The Rode looks interesting but haven't seen a reason to switch yet. Thanks for the review.

[Kitakueigo]

Bought the Rode Wireless Pros from B&H at launch and the audio quality is insane!😎👍
