DJI MIC 2 Wireless Microphone | Now with 32-Bit Float & Bluetooth Pairing! 

My wife and I were at CES and we walked by you and she goes "Hey that was your camera guy on RU-vid" lol. Oh and if you want to collab on a dope new storage server for all your footage let me know ;)

Can we all just take a minute to recognize how great Gene is at consistently making high quality videos with unique ways of testing things all while getting different opinions and still incorporating everyone's personality. Truly one of a kind.

Wasn’t expecting such fair comparison right at release! You definitely presented both their strength and weaknesses pretty well.

2:10 the wind protection goes flying

Sounds better with noise cancelling off. The timber of your voice does change and it sounds better and more realistic with the ambient background noise. I can situations when it would be helpful though.

I love that the Mic 2 from the Pocket 3 automates the on-mic recording. That’s super slick.

Big win for DJI for finally releasing their Mic 2. Really iterating on what made the original DJI Mic great. Just wish that you could keep all the accessories in one case rather than have a split soft case to store them.

Good to see how Dji is improving their mics. I did sell my Rode ones, got twice issues with the power on / off button, so they were not too reliable for my needs. What i would like to see is a set up with 4 mics. This would be a dream coming true. Don’t understand why Rode and DJI do not come out with that. Currently have to use Fulaim for bigger talks / Podcasts. Great review as usual, cheers from Germany.

Hi gene! Thanks for getting me into camera gear. I really appreciate the quality of your videos.

It's here! The Osmo Pocket 3 is a game changer for us and having the ability to now add a second mic without a receiver is so, so good.

love see frank ... he is a friend that always love new stuff but still use the old one if not broken

Excellent content! I was facinated by the section on synchronisation drift towards the end. Very interesting and informative!

that's what I needed today. every single one of my youtube subs is reviewing the DJI MIC 2 this morning. LOL

Great breakdown of the dji mics~ also you're so close to 1 million!!

Close to a million subs! Great job Gene!

Once again. Awsome video. Love watching your content. Thanks jet!!

Glad I woke up at 5 am lol, what a nice casual vid great way to start of my day..😮

I love this video. So right from the heart of life, from practice. Very enlightening. If I hadn't already bought the set, I would do it now at the latest.

I been waiting for this💯

I was just saying that I miss Gene's videos and watched a couple from the vlog channel. then I switch to my fyp and then boom. New Potato Jet video.

Well done, great demos and entertaining 😊

Thanks for the in-depth testing. This review is uniquely packed with useful content while being entertaining, too.

Dude you're so close to 1 million subs!! Hell yeah. You've grown a ton recently! You're my favorite reviewer! #lovethePotato

Awesome review man!

Loved watching this - now subscribed :)

Thanks for the time sync comparison. You set a high bar for mic reviews :)

"its not secret, don't feel special" 😂😂😅 you could have just let him have a moment

Great vid using them!

damnnnn gene so close to 1M i hope you get there very soon

I am so happy. I wondered when I could buy a second mic for my GF when we bought the POCKET 3.

Been eyeing these and you have sold on getting them. This was a great video Gene! Btw, the noise cancellation sounded super weird.

Just bought it lets goooo!

Rode mic sounds really great 👍🏾

That Lavalier Mike is fabulous

Love your style Gene

thanks for showing us the part about the syncing after +4h - i didn't know about that 😯

Great mic comparison, thanks

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 🤷🏻‍♂️ It has longer battery life, more internal storage, you can transfer your audio with a USB-C cable connected to the case (DJI mics u have to plug them in individually even tho the case has usb-c), the Lav mics screw in so it can accidentally pull off on the Rode Pros….. but at the end of the day, I circle back to the main thing, the audio quality.. and my honest and unbiased opinion is that the road pro wins hands-down.

Cool testing ❤

Great review, thanks! As to noise cancellation, I'd shoot with it off and add in post where you have more latitude in control. You an definitely hear the 'limiter' with in mic nc.

Dude, so close to 1M subs, you have earnt it. 🙂

great video guys... thank you. I would love for DJI to make the lavalier mic in white as well. Great sound. Saludos from Spain

Nice video bro! So funny! Congratulations!

Honestly either the Rode or the DJI would be dope to use!!!!

I picked up some used Godox wireless mics that sound great. It might drop audio a bit more than i'd like and not have internal recording, but they do the trick for $50.

so close to a million!!!!

The dji mic 2 is incredible

Kari, sam, pita, that deep voice guy the hotel rooms where awesome.... an that PJ guy was ok lol lol

So so close to One Million Subscribers! 💥💥👏🏻

Love the smaller size of the DJI, but sound quality and the ability to keep your wind filters connected in the case (not to mention download on-mic audio when in the case) still make the rode pro the best choice. DJI's audio is too....tinny? IDK it's just not as robust.

Great review 🎉

Wow, this is amazing

What an amazing comparison that you come out with. Thank you so much for the insight. Just a curious question, how did you do the interview using the 3 mics? does one of the mic is recording on its own without the receiver?

I've been impressed with DJI getting into these mics, I just KNOW Rode is all in and will keep going so it tilts me a bit in this comparison for sure. $548 for the Osmo Action 4 AND the new MIC 2 is a great bundle...

I will be in vegas this weekend!

nice to meet you. This is the hottest mic in days. I enjoyed the good reviews and the situation. I think it's a very good microphone. Happy New Year^^

Sam's scream is like a GTA npc jumping a bridge/cliff. totally funny. great video

always preferred the dji over rode in terms of size especially

The absolute SCREAM into the mic did it for me 😂

1 millón subscriber, congratulation bro , keep it up

Really good to know the pocket 3 can receive 2 mics at the same time.

Hi Gene, I am building my own studio as a starting video “professional” and I used your idea for the windows. I did go for 3x 65” but can you tell me how you make sure you don’t get reflections from your lights? Love your content 👍

Awesome & Thanks :)

The scream was awesome lol

the rode comes with two lavs which is a huge selling point. theyre nice lavs too

the quality difference between phone and receiver/action4 is that it is using pure Bluetooth to connect to the phone, with the action4/pocket3/DJI receiver it's actually transmitting the audio on a 2.4ghz signal not Bluetooth. Which is also why there was interference in congested areas, the 2.4ghz spectrum is busy.

the Rode system seems to have more low-end! both are great tools honestly!

1 million lets goo baby

Aweosme video Gene! The new mics look and sound great, especially with the new features. One question I'd love to ask is, do you have any tips for recording more on-the-fly type videos as I tend to stutter a lot and say "um" even when I have a general idea of what I'm planning to say?

Interesting thing is that the rode wireless pro has a much fuller bandwidth especially bottom end, giving a more radio-like sound than DJI. I really like DJI devices, but here it is clearly audible that the lower part of the band is weaker, and u mentioned not using low cut filter

Fantastic review.🙂

You always have the best reviews! But, following you on RU-vid gets kinda expensive! 😂😂😂

Oh man I was in the same convention center as the mighty Potato?! Such a shame I never saw you but it's always fun to see all the areas of CES that one couldn't visit during such a busy week! PS these mics are sweet, but I think I'd skip the Noise Cancellation as it hollows out your voice almost a little too much? But the DJI to DJI connection is so clutch, so that's a W. Here at work the RODE PROs have been super clutch when the Tentacle Syncs are in use on other cameras!

Great video! Is there a way to connect 3 DJI Mic 2s to the Pocket 3 simultaneously? Or is 2 the max?

Great review, thanks! Really not excited about the audio quality, it's not a shade against the Rode. Only case I can think where the voice isolation would suit me is livestreams, otherwise noise cancellation in Resolve works great. (and is adjustable)

Your so close to 1 mil subs haha

2 hrs later and about 22 videos watched and finally someone does a mic sound distance test (even if it was for 10 seconds) @12:38

That's a nice hotel

NICE review👍

Great review of the new Mic 2 from DJI. It seems to have some nice upgrades. And the price has not skyrocketed from the Mic 1. It might be time to upgrade.

Nice review, thanks :) been waiting for the release for weeks now. I have a question, if you dont mind - when you pair the transmitter via Bluetooth (with dji pocket 3 or some other device), and then try to pair back with the original receiver manually (by pressing the linking button) - does it remember the receiver or you have to manually link it via menu again? I want to use the same two mics with a camera and dji osmo 3 as well, and quickly switch between the two. Not sure if this is possible. Thanks :)

Come on, sub this man! He deserves his 1 million!

sam testing the mics was the best! LMAO!🤣🤣

I was at CES as well would have been awesome to run into you

one million subs is goin to be happen 👋

i had 2 sets of DJI mics. Had so send both in because in a year the output jack wasn't holding the cable in anymore. Hope they fixed that. (my average insertions per month:20)

Sams yell has had me in tears looking at the whole video lol

The voice isolation sound similar to the one in DaVinci Resolve but a bit more robotic if you do not talk directly into the dji mic.

haha you're the best Gene (and team)

Off for sure

I have to look into the manual, and see if you can change the functionality of any of the buttons.

Every review I hear makes it clear to me that the Rode sounds better but the DJI has the screen facing you on a camera but the Rode cannot accidentally format your audio in the field. Therefore we went with the Rode. We have Sankens locked into the Rode and it’s a sweet setup. We had three different camera ops accidentally delete the DJI one files in the field so I can’t risk that.

thats cool

Thanks for the test. Can you check if the Receiver is stuck in the cold shoe of the camera cage?

lolol nice review Gene!

both mics sound the same. tbh that's sweet

God dammit get this guy to 1million subs already...sheeeeesh

For iPhone, will there be a phone upgrade to allow using the native Camera app instead of a third-party? Or, is that the limitation of how Apple iOS works?

Hey there! Love your content! As a fellow videographer, audio monitoring is key for me. I've been trying to connect my DJI Pocket 3 or DJI Mic 2 to my bone conduction headphones via Bluetooth while recording for wireless audio monitoring. I've asked around on RU-vid and the DJI forum but no luck so far. Any chance you could share a wireless solution? Thanks a bunch!

I have two rode lav mics from two rode Filmaker kits, will they be suitable to use on the DJI kit
