DJI - Mic Mini

I bought the mini mic and the audio quality is terrible. I have a pretty deep voice and me talking normally sounds like a deep rumble and lots of static. All my friends that have tried it have said they they don't like the audio quality. I've had it for less than a week and I'm already thinking of buying a different mic. Do not buy the mini! I haven't tried the Mic 2 but it has to be better than the mini.

Hauptsache irgendein Blödsinn schreiben was? Hast du Eins kannst du mitreden? Es ist jetzt schon besser als das DJI Mic.

I have found that using the magsafe magnetic mount with the 16 pro max, the dji mic mini receiver, and the flow pro 2 does not work as there is not enough clearance, however adjusting the phone using the magnetic clamp mount of the flow pro 2 will work or using a short cable to attach the receiver to the back or side of the phone

Couple of things going on here. I'm guessing you have an iPhone. You can't use any Bluetooth mic with the stock camera app, that's an Apple thing. Gotta plug them all in. Bluetooth is not a great protocol for receiving high quality audio. You definitely can connect the Mic Mini and Mic 2 via Bluetooth and then record audio using the DJI Fly app, but it's still Bluetooth and it'll probably sound like shit. Plugging it in is the best solution across the board.

Audio engineer who shoots Leica here 👋🏻 DJI mic mini 2 is pretty solid wireless mic solution. It's a little hot sounding though. I think I have mine on -6db for both transmitter and receiver to make it sound so hot. I don't use the Q3. I use the SL cameras

In USA prices of the ones that you listed and the mic mini are very similar so I would go with the DJI. Besides if you only need 1 mic you can pay less.

I used to have the Rode Wireless Mic Go 2 and switched to the DJI Mics and then the DJI Mic 2 because they were much more user-friendly. What bothered me most was that with the Rode Wireless Mic Go 2 you needed the PC program or a phone app to change settings and to transfer or convert audio files to the PC, whereas with DJI you get ready-to-use files and can make all the settings on the receiver. I don't know if they improved that point on the Wireless pro. I didn't notice any major difference in the audio quality straight away, but I only use the devices every now and then. I mainly used the devices when I was at events in my village or community, taking photos or videos for clubs, or occasionally recording church services. There I also often used the Sony UX570 voice recorder and connected it to their mixer or microphones if available, and often used the audio track and the DJI Mics as an alternative. I personally don't currently plan on switching to the DJI Mics 3. While I find it interesting that you can use up to four microphones, it's a bit silly for me because I also like to connect lavalier or directional microphones and use a 3.5mm jack input. When I've used the DJI Mics, I usually record the audio into the microphones and then synchronize it with DaVinci Resolve afterward, just to have a bit more flexibility in the sound quality, especially when using musical instruments that push the volume to the limit. I don't do this professionally, but more as a hobby. I use a DJI Pocket 2, Pocket 3, Sony A6500, and occasionally a DJI Action 5, and I usually just film from multiple angles and then edit them together afterwards.

Seconded. The DJI mic mini is awesome if all you need is a wireless lav mic. Not sure how much more it costs than the ones you mentioned where you are. But connecting a receiver to the OP3 every time you want wireless audio seems like a huge hassle and kinda defeats the purpose of having such a simple to use, all-in-one cam.

Max SPL (Sound Pressure Level) is the biggest thing with mic in my research as that's what's gonna distort your audio - 120 db is the max of the mic 2. The DJI Mic Mini also has the same Max SPL. Seems like the Zoom H1N has the same Max SPL but I dont know much about those ones. If you wanna know what mic to REALLY get when you have mega bucks is get a decible reader for where you want to mount the bike, get some readings and then find super high quality mics that can record the db you bike puts out, IE the Max SPL of the mic. For example, if your bike makes 80-100db of noise, a mic with 120db max SPL will not distort that much, if at all. Your biggest issues would be blocking out external noise such as wind at that point. I recently bought a DJI osmi action 5 pro and also wanted a mic for similar reasons because the camera's mic is good but wind noise at 60mph+ suuucks. I found a video doing a review on the DJI Mic Mini (Which is only like $60 compared to the ridiculous $220 of the mic 2) and honestly, the sounds were pretty good for the price Here is the video of the full review of the mic mini: [https://youtu.be/X\_V9s70onDk?si=ZD7-Zv5er2mSsV-6](https://youtu.be/X_V9s70onDk?si=ZD7-Zv5er2mSsV-6) IMO, sounds super clear and I am personally gonna put mine closer to the engine so I can get more engine noise rather than exhaust. Ill post a video in about 2ish days (Mic comes tmrw, had to order it from amazon: [https://a.co/d/4Uwv9Fb](https://a.co/d/4Uwv9Fb) ) I'm unsure of how the whole gopro + dji mic setup works... but if you have the extra cash laying around get the dji osmo action 4/5, they are soooo good for POV riding (And IMO higher quality video is nicer than having a tiny bit of wind noise or a little distortion when your banging 6th gear full throttle). Not to mention the DJI mics wirelessly connect to the DJI cameras without any additional BS :) I have had mine only 2 days and I'm addicted to laying in my bed at night just watching my own riding LOL. Probably cant post the videos here though for uh, reasons hahaha TL;DR: Get a mic with 120db+ SPL that you are happy with. If you're getting a DJI mic see about getting the dji mic mini and getting a DJI camera with the money you saved on not getting the mic 2

Not sure what kind of mic you're looking for, but the [DJI Mic Mini](https://amzn.to/4rU2dht) is an absolute steal for a lav mic at the $45 its down to now, seems they're clearancing them out with the release of the Mic 3.

I use the GoPro 13 with dji mic2 direct. No media mod or receiver. Works well. Here's a comparison I did I have the mic2 and the mic mini, riding on a moped. [dji mic2 GoPro 13 mic mini comparison](https://youtu.be/QY3HmvyuPQ8?feature=shared)

The Dji mics are literally the ones to get if you are using the pocket....they easily sync and have the high quality audio without the receiver necessary.

I had a shoot the other day where I was having card problems with my main camera, so I pull out my Pocket 3 and dji mic to save the interview. I clipped the dji mic on a stick and boomed it. It turned out great.

literally any of them, just drop one mic in between your feet to capture the sound of impact and use the other attached to your shirt. Just grab a Mic mini probably

Mic mini without question. Spend the extra money you'll be happy you did

I think I'm going to go with the Mic Mini, the benefits seem to out way the cons (32-bit, no internal recording) vs (smaller, longer battery)

I already had the DJI Mic Minis so I just bought the non-creator pack. When the Osmo Pocket 3 arrived, I took my little mics out of their box, clicked the pair button and they paired directly to the Osmo. No need for the transmitter. I just use that when I want to use the mics with my phone. The case is handy to charge it all with though.

That would be great, honestly. Can't wait for the GO4!! I just got the DJI MIC MINI bundle because of the native support with DJI. But I think Insta360 needs audio upgrades more

I actually just bought the mini as well. As a non-monetized hobbyist I think it's probably the better buy for me (was about $45). I already have a Mic 2, but wanted something smaller with a direct connection to my pocket 3.

The automatic connection of the DJI mics are so worth it. You can get individual transmitters as well too.

But the receiver through Bluetooth will sound trash. It has something to do with the strength of the signal or something. Not too sure how it works exactly. So since that's fixed on the X5, it would make sense for it to also work with the dji mic mini. Right?

Ha. I just got the combo after trying out the DJI Mic Mini. 90% of the sound quality with WAY more equipment for a similar price. And it looks great when in use.

Hi guys, I just upgraded my Sennheiser mic setup to DJI Mic Mini after so many years, and it's so cool to see how tech advancements helped so much with the logistics. I made a comparison here if you want to take a look: [https://youtu.be/wwmr04fyP6U](https://youtu.be/wwmr04fyP6U)

i would either try something like a Zoom h2n/h3n on the table or would go for a dji mic/mic mini per person and then record in the device and sync in post.

You could get 3 DJI mics, pair two to the camera and the third mic to like an iPhone/Android, record your podcast on both the camera and iPhone/Droid, then combine the audio in post production.

I ended up with the Mini. It was pretty good sound quality. If I kept the camera I wouldn't have regretted it for the trip. I also didn't end up going on that trip, and I returned the camera since my iPhone 15 Pro Max had better video quality for some reason. And then the price skyrocketed on the camera. But yeah, I went with the Mini, and it sounded good. I didn't try the Mic 2 but I doubt it would've been worth the extra weight, the mini was on the cusp of being heavy enough to sag on clothing as it was.

If you want to mic up two people, then just get the whole kit. I just bought a single Mic Mini transmitter since it is only me talking in videos. There is no need for the single mic with receiver unless there might be another camera you would want to use it on. If you buy a kit with the receiver, you never have to use it with the Pocket 3.

Thanks, I think the Mic Mini is the way to go.

Mic2 has internal memory to record, and 32-bit float (that is important only for professionals). You pay for these with larger size and lower battery life. I bought mic mini and it is decent. The best thing about the battery life and the out of the box good sound quality and small size.

Internal memory wouldn't be much use to me as I am recording it directly to the Pocket 3, and although 32-Bit recording is an interesting proposition, I don't intend on recording in super high-volume environments where it might clip. It seems as though the mini is basically a DJI Mic 3 without 32 bit recording or on-board storage. Like it's next gen otherwise. At least that's the impression I'm getting with these responses.

After doing some quick research, the Mic Mini does the same thing. (DJI even demonstrates it in the online manual). I had no idea this was a feature before, thanks for the info!

Not a fan of 2.8 zooms as they are heavy and expensive Can recommend 20-60 and a third party 35mm or 50mm primes instead. Mic wise can recommend maono wave T5. On par with holyland mark 2 and DJI mics, but a lot cheaper.

I've just used the DJI Mic Mini on mine. It didn't seem too bad. I plugged in the receiver and off I went. I used both mics in the pack as initially I was getting only single channel. It's nice that I'm not chained to the desk but as they are attached to my baseball cap, I have to remember not to scratch my head too often

We have the Osmo pocket 3 and the DJI mic mini. We bought the whole package and it's great for a couple of reasons: you do any filming from your phone and need great audio. Second, you plan to do any interview style videos. I'm glad to have both.

I have this and love it: [https://store.dji.com/product/dji-mic-mini-tx-rx?vid=177891](https://store.dji.com/product/dji-mic-mini-tx-rx?vid=177891)
