DJI - Mic

Now we need this to happen with the Ace Pro. I have the original Ace Pro and a DJI Mic 1 and I hate taking the door off and using the mod to get audio in from the Mic receiver. Straight USB-C would be so much better.

No mic input what are they nuts? Staying with V1

I have the 3, the 2 and the 1st gen. Love the 3, sure the 3.5jack is whack, but 32bit internal dual recording saved me a lot of headaches.

Cheapest way to do this in a small room is a DJI or Rode lapel mic kit as these will connect to the PC via USB-C or 3.5mm (I prefer DJI) and feed audio that way. For bigger rooms wireless will be a challenge but for small DJI is a rock solid solution.

They likely have data that indicated a minority of users actually use them with lavalier mics. Unfortunate, since I also use my original DJI Mics with lavaliers but admittedly not often.

Just ordered from BH in the US. I currently have the originals and while I HATE that these are not backwards compatible, I skipped the Mic 2 for this reason, I wanted the smaller size and the direct connection to my other devices.

I’m glad I just got Mic Mini for 119€ and Mic 1 for 80€ 👍💪

I have creator combo mic. Works brilliantly, but was quite surprised with the internal mic as well. I use it for documenting family holidays etc, where I can’t mic up the kids, but the internal recording is surprisingly capable. But it is a lot more work, so the convience of the mic is unbeatable

I know that pedal show does a good job with shotguns. I think they use a zoom recorder. I am pretty sure they have an episode where they go over their gear but I would reach out to them about their set up. I have had good luck with Mic answering questions. Personally I would want lavs I really like the DJI wireless with a separate Lav head. They have internal recorders if the audio cuts out so you can edit it back in post if you need to.

Check out those DJI lavs I really like them.

I think the creator combo would work in that setup since it saves the audio the camera records in a separate file if you toggle the audio backup. Then just stitch it in post.

Depends on the range you're shooting from but I really like the Rode Mic Pro+ a lot and it's usable for voiceovers as well as long as you're directing it towards yourself. The quality is great and has been proven for years. I also use the DJI wireless mics and they're great as well, but more for close range audio.

I’ve used this setup with the DJI mic https://youtu.be/tavbMMCtfL0?si=OKs70AIukKr5sVdo Never liked the media mod

Yes there are receivers that you connect to your camera and will receive the audio from the microphone, check for example the DJI mic, it has a receiver that you can connect to your camera so that the video you are recording gets the audio from the microphone and you don't have to sync anything

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

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 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.

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.

Blue Yeti when I'm seated indoors, for portable / wireless lav /outdoor, Rode Wireless. DJI mic is also an excellent choice

The DJI mics can record locally or can transmit back to a receiver plugged into a camera. We use them as lapel mics in our corporate studio, and they work very well for talking. I can't vouch for how well they will work with loud exhaust noises.

WARNING im not a audio pro. this is just my expierence i use a rode podmic with a Behringer UMC202HD and never have any issues. would recommend voice meter and maybe a different audio interface. if you want a different mic the shure sm7b is pretty good also pretty comon. idk what your plans are with the mic but if you want more of a remote option the DJI mic is good.

You could use something like the Hollyland LARK or DJI Mic and leave the receive inactive, just trigger the local recording on each transmitter as you put them on the speakers. It might be a bit of a hassle to sync up all of those recordings in post but it would work. They'll still be trying to transmit, there would just be nothing at the other end to receive. If the venue techs will worried about that, then I'd look into carrying a small bag of something like the Tascam DR-10L recorders - on-body recorders with no transmission capability. They'll be a bit bigger and have no remote monitoring option but have no antennas or chance of causing interference.

On the go I use the DJI Mics, they're convenient and sound ok. At the desk, depends how lazy I am...sometimes I just grab the DJI ones, sometimes I use my Yamaha audio interface and will plug in one of my live sound mics - I have SM58's, Beta58's, Beta57's, SM57's, Beta87's, SEv7's, SEv3's, Audix OM11, and obviously a bunch of instrument mics that don't make sense for vocals :) Personally I like the sound of my voice on the Beta87.

Honestly it comes down to what sound quality you like best. To my ears the DJI mic sounded a bit more pleasing than the Rode (others will say the opposite, and I couldn't argue because I'm far from an audiophile), and the smaller form factor of the DJI transmitter was better for my uses. In terms of working with the camera I don't believe there's much of a difference between the two. My DJI mic works the same with any device, simply plug it in, make sure the transmitter and receiver are paired, and you're good to go. I apologize for not giving a more definitive answer, and my best advice would be to (1) watch a few YouTube comparisons between Rode/DJI/Others and pick what sounds best to you, and (2) think about your use cases and choose based on the form factor. Both Rode and DJI are great options and either should suit most users needs. As a side note I also looked into buying the Hollyland Lark M2 due to it being a bit cheaper, but decided just to go with one of the larger brands because there were so many more users reviews and I knew they were tried and true. If you need to save some money that looks like a great option, and I'm sure it would have fit my needs just as well as the DJI.

Rode wireless pro, I believe DJi mic, tentacle sync e are all similar sized and I believe they all have 32bit float. Tentacle sync provides time code along with on board recording; rode and DJi are both consumer wireless audio systems with onboard recording capabilities.

I second the DJI mic, I love mine.
