The DJI Mic 2 is one of the hottest audio products out there. With its rich feature set and 32-bit float recording, there's a lot to be excited about... but is the DJI Mic 2 actually worth the hype?

Hey, a small piece of gaffers tape stuck in to the cold shoe mount gives enough resistance for the receiver to stay in place 👍🏻

@kylemeshna 2 месяца назад

Genius. Gonna try that

@CarryorBury Месяц назад

That works too! I just tried it. But if you look at my reply on the thread. I put 3 hardware style options on there. I’m using one now and am considering a different option due to “Lego stacking” parts. God bless gaffers tape.

The DJI Mic 2 just got a fix for Sony users having digital signal noise issues (the problem is in the cable). The device is a hotshoe. This new audio adapter takes your DJI Mic 2 Rx and seamlessly integrates via that hot-shoe with your Sony camera. Check DJI Mic 2 Sony Audio PROBLEM FIXED by David Manning.

The noise reduction is useful when you're live streaming where it isn't possible to remove the background noise in post.

@dirkdoetdingen263 Месяц назад

Thank for this! The new active hotshoe attachment that prevents the use of a cable makes me lean to this one over the Rode Wireless Pro. But still kinda on the fence about them... If you use the coldshoe; there are these cold shoe quick release locking baseplates by the way!

@sahilrevenge 25 дней назад

Great video. Just wanted to know if I select 32 bit and record on receiver then do I still need to make any audio gain adjustments or am I good to go?

put some gaff tape in the cold shoe to thicken it up and also add grip, it works for the mic 1 receiver

I want to connect my GoPro Hero 12 Black via the bluetooth connection to the receiver, so i can use both mics at once. Would it work?

@videolan Месяц назад

Why no local mute on the transmitter(s) like there was on the original - and most other wireless mics?

@lorageproductions 17 дней назад

do they work with the osmo pocket 2 camera? Can you match them?

@CulturaPanda 16 дней назад

I want to buy this microphone, in the simplest option where I only receive the transmitter... my doubt is whether the intelligent noise cancellation works without the transmitter... what I think would be possible was to record the sound and in editing sync it with the image... that way I'll have the best of this microphone?

@telecamfilms 18 дней назад

Overall a great system but a few things need to improve: - TX automatically goes into record when powering on. I'd like to have an option to turn this feature off. - No visual indication on the RX display when the TX Lo Cut filter is ON - The new MI Shoe Adapter is working great with Sony FX6 but not the Sony FX9, not sure why... - Although not an issue in post, the audio delay while monitoring is a bit annoying and a bit offsetting.

@jorgevelasquez9955 24 дня назад

Can the transmiter mic hook to your Android via Bluetooth?

@WyngzEdit 2 месяца назад

The issue I'm facing with mine is that I shoot with an iPhone and the receiver is plugged directly into my iPhone but at times the audio doesn't sync and it uses the iPhone's built in mics instead of the receiver.. The only way around this was to always unplug and plug in the receiver every time before I start shooting. Anyone else facing this issue? So annoying

@RichieAsmus 29 дней назад

I had this happen once so far and It nearly scrapped hours of recording. Luckily I was talking loud enough for my iPhone to pic up but there's no indication that the audio isn't coming from the DJI mic.

@rickbiessman6084 Месяц назад

The cold shoe thing is really good to know. Even with the solution that Iain suggested, it’s good to know a cold shoe on its own won’t hold the mic in place, which is really, really unfortunate.

@jimbo3609 28 дней назад

Can I just get two receivers for interviews? I find it in the way to have transmitter on your iphone.

@kendelion 24 дня назад

The step backwards from the Mic 1 are the 1. Cold Shoe - not removable anymore, won't clip, and will fall off like in 09:15 2. USB-C or Lightning Adapter - too short, won't insert if you have a phone case. I wonder why they have to change these things. All they have to do was to add Bluetooth function to the Mic 1 and they have a perfect Mic 2. -Bigger Receiver, shorter USB, Useless Cold Shoe Mount +Bluetooth If not for the bluetooth I won't upgrade, or sidegrade.

@definingslawek4731 2 месяца назад

Does it sound as good as the zoom f3 when recording with the shure sm7b? (as in comparing both recording with the same mic. The dji mic 2 has enough power to drive the shure sm7b I saw in a different video)

@kylemeshna 2 месяца назад

I have tried every configuration possible and even chatted with the folks that posted those SM7B+DJI Mic 2 videos... I haven't be able to get anything more than a muddled whisper out of the combo

@definingslawek4731 2 месяца назад

@@kylemeshna What did Fredo heavy say? I find that hard to believe that one unit would have enough power to run a shure sm7b and another unit wouldn't. Was he using a different cable or?

@kylemeshna 2 месяца назад

he's using the Shure Sm7dB, which has the built in pre-amp. I only have the SM7B 😔

@definingslawek4731 2 месяца назад

@@kylemeshnaYes BUT he said he turned the pre amp off, which he claims makes it essentially a shure sm7b. Which Idk if is true, maybe even with preamp off the db might be easier to drive idk.

@DigiDriftZone 2 месяца назад

Since these can operate individually as standard bluetooth mics, can you not just connect them to a phone with bluetooth and use the DJI app to change any setting, including enable 32bit float?

@ac1320 2 месяца назад

From what I’ve been reading while researching this system, nope. If you use a mic standalone you lose 32bit float and noise reduction, if you use BT you lose internal recording altogether. On a forum DJI support suggests going into a store and asking to use a receiver to change settings on the standalone mic.

@DigiDriftZone 2 месяца назад

@@ac1320 Oh wow, that seems like a major oversight from DJI, I hope this is fixable in software. That's also a strange decision to disable internal recording with BT as BT signal is much worse than the wireless system they use, that is disappointing to hear.

@ac1320 2 месяца назад

@@DigiDriftZone yeah 100% agree. The support agent says they’re working on it. Haven’t followed up but I would think just aggregate to existing app. But I’m no engineer or anything so I’m talking out my butt on this.

@adventurepromo 2 месяца назад

There's no app like you get with the Rode Wireless Go products. The DJI app is basically just a link to the DJI store.

@DigiDriftZone 2 месяца назад

@@adventurepromo I hope this is something that changes, it's nice the Rode have an app, but it does require a physical connection the phone. DJI should hopefully be able to do this over bluetooth since the Rode doesn't have bluetooth.
