DJI Mic One Year Later: My 5 Favorite Features

DJI released the DJI Mic over a year ago and since then I have been using it every day on projects from YouTube videos to high end client shoots all over the country. So after using it for a year these are my 5 favorite features and how well the DJI Mic has worked for me

Great review, thanks for that. I was thinking in to buy this one and you helped me a lot

Thanks, Jake. I hope you are having a wonderful 2023 and a super winter. Great info on the mic. I really need to put mine to more use. Have a great day! 😀

Really good mic. So glad to see DJI expanding in the creative space. The new firmware update has some neat features also.

This was very helpful, Jake. Thank you.

Thank you, Jake! One of my rode go ii mics just died on me after 1 gear so I'm now looking at non rode options.

[PaulFeinberg]

Finally said goodbye to my rodes and got me a set this past week….love the size and features better and that touch screen is just so good. Great video!

Thanks for the video. Have you tested at how long distance you can keep the mic from your head and still get good quality audio?

[SeanOzz]

Dang. Has it been a year already?? I’ve used mine like twice in that time. Crazy.

Though I just had an idea on a new way I could use them. Might be time to give them another chance.

Just got this a couple of weeks ago and am loving it. Do you have a tutorial for showing how to use the files in post from the transmitter if the receiver was scratchy?

[BlairAir]

Thanks Jake! Love this thing, and it's independence from needing an app. As a Vlog-style creator, I rarely need 2 mics. Fortunately they're now offering a 1Tx-1Rx version for about... wait for it: 2/3rds the price! Might be time to put it in my pack.

4:48 I call those dead kittens, because they are so small. 😉

[SunriseWaterMedia]

0:29 that face! 😂 You're thinking, "is this really happening?"

Hey Jake thanks for putting this one out. I’m only filming on a iPhone 13 Pro Max at the mo. And the microphone 🎤 is an issue when doing videos. I’m looking into getting the new 1 microphone and 1 receiver from DJI.. any idea 💡or have you come across . I have the osmo 6 gimbal .. would it be to heavy to use when I’m using my mobile and the receiver . Or some of the community might know. Hope all is well jake

Thanks Jake. Another amazing video. What would you recommend for a GoPro 10? I had SYNCO but it stopped working within the first year sadly and had white noise but good range when it worked. I need to replace it with something reliable but not killing the budget. Rode Wireless Go or DJI Mic or maybe something else that does the same thing? Maybe you have a comparison video? I am mostly outdoors so lots of noise (waterfall, river, wind, road, etc)

FYI your lapel mic link no longer works. Nice video and love my DJI mic also

Great vid by the way I too have been using the dji mic since it came out and love it. I wonder if you could help me with something....
I am going to be running a game show on my channel where I have a host and two teams of 2 people, so 5 people in total on stage. I was planning on use the dji mic on each person so there'd be 5 recordings. I am currently using tshure mvl lav mics with the dji mics I have. Of course I'm going to play around with different settings but based on that info what would you say would be the best settings in regards to mono/stereo or do you think it would be better to just hit record on all transmitters and have them all set to mono? I have a feeling I'm going to run into a lot of problems so any advice from you or anyone reading this would be very helpful.
Thanks again for the vid 😎

Hi Jake, at your and Jevon's recommendation, I picked up the DJI two mic system and I too like it. I tested on my Nikon D850, GoPro 10 and small Sony Handycam and they all worked well but when connecting to a 3.5mm to XLR Balanced Cable Adapter to a Panasonic HC-UX180 camcorder, I just get squeal sound and no voice audio from the mic. Any thoughts? Thanks Shipwreck Bob

[stevewest]

Where did you buy this in Alaska. I live in Soldotna and haven’t been able to find any here or Anchorage, thanks

[marioplus]

Can I attach it to a smartphone??? Whereas it was not available long in Poland, I was eagerly wanting it. Now, it is, but the set is extremely expensive. Worth over the one of Rode ?

[MoonManPI]

Hey there. Appreciate your videos. I have a problem since I updated the firmware on the dji mic, I cannot switch between mono and stereo mode. It's stuck on mono. Any suggestions? Thanks much!
