DJI Mic 2 Review

DJI which is a class leader in drones, gimbal technology and wireless microphones (like the Osmo action) is back at it again, providing amazing audio quality on the DJI MIC 2. This is a new mic system which can capture unbelievably clear and precise sound quality which is great for beginners and Vloggers alike.

Being able to remove the background noise and still provide high-quality audio is something everyone is looking for in a wireless microphone system. Since Vloggers and Content Creators may often find themselves completing a Vlogging session in some of these trying noise conditions, the audio recording will not suffer as a result.

There are a plethora of additional features and options that the DJI Mic 2 brings to the table. These features which will be delineated below make the DJI Mic 2 a great addition to the arsenal of any Vlogger or Content Creator.

DJI has made the Mic 2 to compete in this hotly contested market with offerings from Sony, Hollyland, Rode (like the Rode Wireless go II and the Rode Wireless Pro). The DJI Mic 2 has some really nice feature upgrades over the original DJI mic, and we will explore in further detail why the DJI Mic 2 has everything you need in a wireless microphone.

Transmitter and Receiver Options

The DJI Mic 2 comes in several different options and with some accessories that would be beneficial to any Vlogger recording on their DSLR camera.

Let’s explore some of the features of the new lineup of DJI Mic 2 transmitter, microphone and case.

The first in the lineup of DJI Mics is the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter. This amazing wireless transmitter and microphone come with some great features and specs:

With it’s included omnidirectional audio recording, specifically optimized for vocals, you can be sure that the voices you want will come through with fantastic audio quality. That could be in mono or stereo format.
An amazing microphone with astounding noise cancellation for a wireless mic, and and support for 32-bit float-point internal recording.
Even with the noise cancelling abilities of the DJI Mic 2, we recommend using the windscreen to reduce wind noise in windy or outdoor scenes.
With Safety Track enabled, you can record a second track side by side with your main track to prevent against audio spikes.
The receiver connects to your camera via the 3.5mm TRS cable. It will also match up it’s power state with that of your camera. This allows for a synchronized audio recording experience.
With the following ports and connectivity availability via the from a Bluetooth connection, USB-C port and Lightning digital outputs, as well as 3.5mm jack TRS analog output and charging cable, connecting the DJI Mic 2 has never been easier. You can use these ports to connect to your smartphone, whether that be an iPhone or an Android phone like the Samsung Galaxy (Galaxy S24) series. You can even use this with the new Apple Vision Pro device.
The transmitter can connect directly to DJI Osmo Pocket 3 via bluetooth, even without the receiver. Once connected it can operate with third party editing software.
A 1.1-inch OLED touchscreen is also equipped on the DJI Mic 2. You can use the touchscreen to check your volume and remaining battery life. In addition, you can make adjustments to gain, volume, brightness and other options.
The transmitters feature a clip-on design with a magnetic snap for easy attachment to clothing and other setups.
Vloggers who are traveling not necessarily long distances, however even if so, they will appreciate the small and sleek design with an included wrist strap for easy transportation of the DJI Mic 2.
The carrying bag for the DJI Mic 2 can accommodate even the DJI Mic 2 (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) combo bundle.
The transmitters can also function as standalone voice recorders or serve as audio backups during filming.
With a unbelievable maximum audio recording and transmission range of 250m (820 ft.) maximum audio transmission in open, unobstructed environments without interference, the audio quality that you desire will shine through.
Attach the DJI Lavalier mic to your DJI Mic 2 to capture low profile audio which is a tremendous capability of the lavalier microphone or LAV Mic.
Great for running your podcast off of. By using the DJI Mic 2, read your notes, focus on your content for your podcast, all while having your voice come through clearly.

Another offering in the DJI Mic 2 lineup of bundle options is the DJI Mic 2 (1 TX + 1 RX), Wireless Microphone with Intelligent Noise Cancelling. This is a great All-In-One, Ready to Use wireless microphone system. With the the specs of the base DJI Mic 2 listed above coupled with 6 hours of operating time, 14 hours of internal recording, this bundle consists of one transmitter and one receiver.

An additional option to try is the DJI Mic 2 (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) All-in-one Wireless Microphone. Weighing in at approximately 200 grams, this is an extremely lightweight and compact two transmitter and one receiver option which comes with the charging case. A large 3250 mAh battery provides the lengthy battery life.

When shooting Vlogs or creating content that you would like to upload and share on your social media page, you may want to look into purchasing a spare battery, as you don’t want to run out of juice during a Vlog. Waiting for the DJI Mic to charge via the included charging cable is obviously not as efficient as having a backup battery. If you are Vlogging on the go then you also may want to explore a power bank which can provide portable charging options for the DJI Mic 2.

You also can’t go wrong by purchasing the DJI Mic 2 Charging Case Compatible with DJI Mic 2. If you get one of the DJI Mic 2 options and need a separate charging case, than you can’t pass this up.

This wonderful charging case can charge two transmitters and one receiver and can achieve up to 18 hours of operating time for the two transmitters and one receiver which can fit and be charged via this case. This versatile case can hold the transmitters, the receiver, and mobile phone adapters.

Summation

If you are a vlogger or a content creator looking to take your career to the next level, than the DJI Mic 2 is a great addition to your photography and videography stable. Having a top notch DSLR camera with a great prime lens is wonderful, but as a vlogger, you want to make sure that you have the proper audio tools to make it a great Vlog. The DJI Mic 2 accomplishes this feat which will result in amazing audio quality.

With up to two transmitters and one receiver the DJI Mic 2 is the next step evolution in the Vlogging industry. Uploading your vlog to your social media page should now bring a smile to your face, as in addition to great still images, you get video recordings with clear and concise vocals.

If you purchase this great wireless microphone and transmitter system from DJI, we highly recommend checking if there is a firmware update available once charged. If one is available, you will want to install the new firmware prior to operation of the DJI Mic 2.
