DJI MIC vs RODE Wireless PRO vs SONY ECM-W3 

So which did you decide to get?

@@GeelongCableLocations yes.same question

It’s been two months. Tell us

@@GeelongCableLocationsRode due to higher backup quality and ability to plug in a lav. I don’t like the size of the Rode and would prefer the ability to adjust settings on the unit, but losing audio is too much of a risk when traveling for shoots.

Got the dji absolutely love it! Plug on my phone and job done is brilliant. Looking at getting the rode too😅

do you prefer it over the other mentioned in the video?

@@onespeed16 I have only used the Rode. It is not hugely different. But I prefer the convenience of the DJI.

Can you connect the DJI mic to a DJI drone? That would blow my mind if I could use it with my Mavic 3 Classic.@@KrishnenduKes

I've always loved wireless mice because they're furrier than the wired type. Plus they love you when you give them cheese, whereas the wired mice kind of ignore you. Definitely wireless mice!

Glad it was helpful!

It’s a sales tactic. They’re gonna announce that for the 2nd Gen when it comes out, guaranteed.

@@motorsportvalley By then Godox has already made an Mi Shoe system and would have a much improved iteration, and expect more to come. They really dropped the ball. I have DJI Mic and would've considered this one myself.

True, for the price especially compared with the others, major lacking feature!

One of the good things in life is that people have different opinions. I think, for example, that people who shoot video without headphones to monitor the audio shoot be fired. I never used back up recording and never came back from a shooting without audio. Back up recording to cards didn't exist until recently if I am not mistaken and the world of cinema and TV broadcast did very well without it.

@@umbertoaguiar That's legit as well, but when you're costing the same while not offering internal 24-bit or even 24-bit directly to the video file then why cost the same? And yes sometimes you film someone that you can't just do again, but of course monitoring when you have a crew is essential that's why I always have a pair of headphones in my backpack.

Same here

Same

Same

Thank you!

If you're feeding it in to a camera with a receiver, then the audio will be there already. If you're using two cameras, you'll have to sync the cameras with the timecode or the waveform. If you're just recording internally then overlaying on the video, you can sync with the timecode or waveform.

Thanks for watching!

Yep you can, I sometimes just take one mic and leave the other mic and the receiver behind

Thank you! Cheers!

It's funny how we hear things differently. I highly preferred the sound of the RODE over the Sony. Could be my headphones, or just personal preferences I suppose.

Which one u decided on

@@highwayoflife3987 I've realised that with the magnet on the outside of clothing, the DJI is actually a smaller for factor visually, but with backup recording so it's my number 1 choice. But the rumours of a version 2 with 32 bit float is also very appealing...

Any recommendations for fixing this?

I think the 32 bit recording is hardware thing and not software.

DJI is releasing an updated Mic

The Rohde & Sony sound too artificial to me. Dji sounds more home body. I just bought for $279. Waiting to try

@@ronarmour8909 I'll buy immediately lol

I sold my 3 DJIs and bought 2 Rodes. The locking mechanism on the mics, and the 32 bit float recording are enough to justify letting go of the smaller form factor and the better user interface. I had a couple of shoots where the mic slightly pulled out of the DJI transmitter so from time to time, the sound would just have these hard scratch noises that could not be cleaned up. (these were both in the camera audio and the internal recording, so no way to fix it) And I've also had projects where the sound clipped on the DJI. With the Rode, I have not experienced either of these issues. It's bulkier, but still way smaller than my Sennheiser G3 systems. Also, the Rode had 40hrs of internal recording to the DJIs 15hrs. This means, when I have a 4 day shoot, I don't even have to delete the internal audio from the Rode systems. Of course I copy them at night, but the internal recording serves as yet another backup. Only thing that can be improved on the Rode is the timecode implementation, from being able to jam sync to an external device or to multiple rode systems, so how the timecode cannot be exported only via USB while L/R 1/8" jack output Trans1 and Trans2. Other than that, perhaps making them slightly smaller and getting rid of that horrible glossy finish which doesn't allow you to stick anything to it and it reflects light. And these things could be perfect.

They just dropped price, you can get a brand new one for the same price!

How did you get discount ? 😊

Glad you enjoyed it

yes the W3 is very fast and works almost immediately

It doesn’t work. Already tried it

@@JevenDovey that’s crazy. It worked for the A6700 but I guess each camera is a little different even the same models can vary in certain situations and scenarios
