DJI Mic 2 vs DJI Mic, Why I Would Upgrade 

Will you be sticking with the Mic 1 or going for the new Mic 2? 👀

We love you Tamara, you seriously are the most amazing vlogger i come across on youtube, this is why i keep saying what i say all the time just to make you aware of how amazing you are and the amount of hard work and effort you put in these vlogs, you deserve all the credit

Super useful review as always. Thanks.

DJI products really are amazing, the raise the bar every time. Looking forward to the next video because I recently bought a Rode, and now I want the DJI Mic 2......

An absolutely fantastic breakdown between the two. I keep getting asked about mic systems for clients and more and more DJI just seem to be taking it one step further. Easy recommendation, DJI Mic 2. Another great video Tamara, thanks for posting 🙂

Great review. Thank You!!

Main reason for me is somehow they figured out how to get stereo/ split channel audio into the iPhone. It now works. Dji mic1 = mono, Dji mic2=stereo

Hey, Thank you for the review. It was very helpful. Your video is very nice and clear. Did you shoot this in Log?

The presentation and editing was so clean. Great review as always! The Mic 2 looks much nicer

I enjoy your comparisons kinda the pros and cons, I’m probably going to buy one for my ride videos on my channel. You are an awesome vlogger as well.

I bought the DJI pocket 3 without the combo when it came out and I’m glad I waited for the stand alone Mic 2. It has extra features that the one that came in the combo didn’t have. I think that it’s the perfect companion for the pocket 3 cause now two people can have a mic and it’s more discreet while filming in public. Where I live people will kick you out of a place if you have a camera.

Nice review. Glad I held out for the 2!

Great video thank you. I set my Mic 2 up today

Good comparison video Tamara

Thank you - just started my youtube channel and use an Action 4, Mic 2 looks great! Thanks for helping me decide. Your videos are awesome

Love your videos❤🙏🏻

Your videos are excellent and very well presented. I`ve just bought the Mic 2 as a stand alone for Moto Vlogging as I now don`t need to plug in the receiver into my Action 4 as I did with the Mic 1 setup. An absolute game changer for me ! 😃😃

Love your videos!

Looks great. I would use it for a more simple setup on action 4 via bluetooth to be agile and on the go for vlogging in different travel locations. I have the mic 1 but this is awesome to be able to do the simple setup.

Great vid! Since we have the Action 4 and Pocket 3 (combo), I plan to reserve the Mic 1 set mainly for recording content on the OA4. However, with the inclusion of a second Mic 2, I intend to use it with the P3 or when recording content on the Pixel 8 Pro. If I go solo, I'll always reach for the Mic 2, no matter the camera.

For me 1st one is so much prettier.

Great vídeo, hello from dominican republic

Great video! Do you know if dji recommended camera gain settings do also apply for dji mic 1?

Guess I’ll get a 2nd mic2 only for use with Pocket 3. Already have another brand mic with a transmitter that’ll do with non-DJI devices. Will only buy DJI transmitter-less compatible devices going forward. The transmitter and case really aren’t necessary. Thanks for the detail - helped me come to my conclusion.

Good review👍

I just love your content you're awesome keep it up🫡

Great video. I was considering the upgrade from V1 to V2. However, in a few of the YT reviews, I find myself not finding a major difference in sound between both. Since I am a photography first user, I am hesitant to splurge the money. One reason that is still making me undecided is that I have the Pocket 3 Creator pack, which came with one V2 mic. Essentially, I just need to buy the 1 to 1 pack and then purchase a charging case (not yet available in my home country yet). What would you recommend? Keeping the V1 or trade in for V2?

Great comparison, could you test and share the audio quality when connecting the DJI Mic 2 via bluetooth vs with the DJI receiver to the OSMO Action 4 so we can hear and you can share how much of a difference there is audio quality?

You go girl!❤

Your English accent is so good that, as a Turk, I can understand you easily without turning on subtitles.

Nice video. But can the bluettoth also be used with camera? Nikon Z6

Really hoping you make a Action 4 with gimbal video, trying to work out if that offers a more robust solution over the pocket 3 and how well it performs in low light. It would be great to compare the hohem isteady pro 4 and the isteady 6 with the action 4. Your videos are really helpful and you make them to such a high standard, thankyou

I was having sound reliability problems w/ intermittent static / artifacting while using the DJI Lav mic. I tried a replacement & it had the same problem. I wound up returning the Mic 2 & likely going to stick w/ the Mic 1 for now. I'm considering the Rode Wireless Pro, but don't like having to use cables. Curious if the firmware update that added the Low Cut makes any difference?

Hello Tamara, nice video :) I have just one question. Is it possible to connect the Mic 2 to DJI 1 transmitter? If it's possible then I might just buy one Mic2 and pair it with DJI 1 transmitter when needed.

I bought the DJI mic 1 mid last year and have been happy with its performance, but the bluetooth feature makes the version 2 very tempting, I might perchase it just because of that feature alone.

The new model is tempting, and larger, not sure about larger. Thanks for your thoughts!

If you want to make the Mic 2 fully compatible with the Pocket 3, you need this system so that you can connect the receiver to the Pocket 3 USB-C port instead of using the direct connection. That connection collapses the internal mics on the optional wave file to mono, so you can't record stereo ambience to mix with your voice from the Mic 2. But it's an expensive fix for a problem which should never have been there in the first place. Of course you can use any 3rd party wireless mic system with USB-C receiver output to fix the problem more cheaply, which is what I've done.

Hi Tamara :) Can you tell me.... can I connect new version mic to an old version of a receiver? i've got dji mic 1 setup and thinking maybe I could just add single mic to my old setup?

I almost pulled the trigger but in the end rationale won lol. I got rid of the Mic 1 and picked up the rode wireless pros when they were first released. I DID pick up an additional transmitter in white so that I won’t be limited when using the Osmo pocket 3. Also hoping a firmware update will also come to the action 4.

Biggest deals for me: - Bigger screen - Better fluffs - Pouch seems useful (like the Pocket 3) - Bluetooth I don't care of it being bigger, as well as the noise cancellation - but overall worth the upgrade for creators.

I'm confused. I have the DJI Pocket 3 Standard version. Which Mic should I get? Do I just need the DJI Mic 2 transmitter for £$89?

Lord. Just when I had considered not getting anything for the time being. But these came out and rocked out socks off. I’ll probably wait, would the set 2 work in unison with the pocket 2?

Well I spent $300 for the Mic 1 about 8 mo ago and also just cracked the screen Thanks too a windy day ..... So obviously I'm not going to get anything for it on eBay.... So I guess I'm stuck with the older Mic set up for now wish I knew this newer setup was wish I knew the 2 was coming out 🤷

Might sound biased but as you were switching between 1-2 I do not like the sound of two. It sounds tinny and 1 sounds more vibrant

The Mic 1's Transmitters can handle TRRS Lav Mics, but the Mic 2 can only handle TRS. It's a bummer they made this downgrade change to the mic jack.

If you want to use 2 mics on the Osmo Action 4, you need the receiver. However, instead of that sticking out from the side, I found out you can use the USB out of the receiver into the USB in on the Osmo ; much neater if you are using a cage.

Great video again. Perhaps u can answer my question: I have bought the creator combo, so I already own a dji mic 2. If I now buy the new transmitter including one other mic2, can I use them both on the transmitter, so as if I bought the complete kit?!

I think it matters if you can't store microphone with deadcat (windshield). Why would you carry one extra big bag?

Thanks for this! Do you know if the DJI mic 1 can be used with the Pocket 3, or do you have to have the mic 2?

If you only have the mic can you easily switch the Mic 2 to be working with the Pocket or Action? Answer from DJi: Hello, there. Thank you for reaching out. Currently, linking is required again if you wish to switch between the DJI Pocket 3 and DJI Action 4. However, please stay assured that your feedback will be forwarded to our relevant team. Thank you for your understanding....

Can the deadcat fit inside the case this time?

I already had the dji mic 1, with 2 transmitters and a receiver, which I loved. I ordered 1 individual dji mic 2 transmitter, as I only want to use the Bluetooth connectivity feature with my dji action 4, and didn’t see the point of buying the whole package with the receiver as I can only connect 1 dji mic 2 to the action 4 anyways. Does this make any sense? Haha

Does the 32 bit float get implemented at the mic or receiver? Meaning if I was recording backup on the mic would the 32 bit float still work?

Whay the sound of mic 1 is great like the rode wirless pro the sound of mic 2 still not good

Your videos are always so good, but I wish that nice background music in the beginning was off as you were switching between both mics to hear the true difference in audio quality. At the 9:24 minute mark into the video, you said how you have been going back and forth so we could hear the audio quality, but truth is that, the background music made it difficult to get a true sense of difference, that lasted until 10:26. I know this video was comparing other features as well, I felt it would have been great for no background music while you were switching back and forth, or at least off for a few minutes compared to a few seconds 9:24-10:26 near to the end of the video. My apologies for any offense. Forgive me of any ignorance on my part. Just sharing my thoughts.

I just purchased the $99 transmitter as I already own the Pocket 3 creator combo that came with a DJI mic/transmitter! I also own the DJI Mic 1, therefore the main factor in my purchase was the Bluetooth connectivity. I can now connect the DJI Mic 2 without having to plug the receiver into the bottom of my Iphone 15 Pro Max. I’m not worried about Bluetooth sound because my Pocket 3 does this automatically and I have no discernible difference in the audio quality. For a non-professional it’s a game changer that simplifies my set-up! 👏🏾🙏🏽

How do you think the mic 2 compared to the Rode Pro? The sound on the mic 2 compared to the pro is no where near as good as Rode IMO

Do you think this system is better than the rode wireless pro system?

Among all the Wireless Mic at this price range, the DJI sounded the worst. It's not even a subjective thing about sound quality, it just sounded lower quality than others at the similar price range. The mic while never marketed as match, they are not consistent, one sounded darker and another can sound brighter. What's worst is that, these DJI mic are way too bright and thin which is less suitable for spoken words application which is what this mic is used for. I like everything about this mic except the sound quality. Rode wireless pro sounded the best but I don't like the form factor and their case seemed "forced" but if I had to choose. I'll still go with the wireless pro in a heartbeat. Did I mentioned that these DJI Mics are not shielded? Or poorly shielded? They are not a mic company so I understand that, but these are basic.And their sound via Bluetooth is subpar versus plugging in the receiver.

DJI Action 4 New Firmware look..

Can’t keep up with

I hope this doesn't come off as too weird, but you could seriously be a hand model. Just saying.

It almost sounds as if the dji mic 2 sound is more compressed 🥲

NO meaningful diff

They say audio quality when connected via Bluetooth to a phone significantly degrades in comparison to using the receiver. Looks like Bluetooth is a nice on paper but really unusable in case one wants to record directly to a phone via Bluetooth paring. Could you make a comparison of audio quality of different types of connections with different devices?

why does the mic 1 sound better?

@tamaragabrieluk, i have the Hollyland Lark Max, if I was to record outdoors, which gain levels should I set it at, as in for all wireless lav mics

Love your videos!
