DJI - Mic 2

DJI mics ARE the cheap option. Honestly I would not go any cheaper than the dji/rode mics. 

If you are getting the Creator combo, then get another standalone Mic 2. If not, I'd recommend the Mic Mini as the size really makes a difference. Souce: I have both Mic 2 and Mic Mini

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

Check a cheap DJI Mic Mini. The Mini 2 costs more but might be useful for having internal battery storage. I use a Mini linked to my phone and the Mic 2 to record second audio for interviews and sync them later. If you just want one mic, DJI might be the cheap and simple solution.

i have the osmo pocket 3 creator combo. before i purchased this, i had the dji mic mini. so now both my partner and I film on the osmo and use one of the dji mini mics. i do see a difference in quality when it comes to Mic 2 vs Mic Mini but it’s not much. Def doable

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

The Mic 2 is awesome. It allows for recording without the camera so it’s like a little wireless digital dictaphone (anybody remember dictaphones?) However, the Mic Mini has a smaller imprint so easier to hide. What I did notice with the Mini Mini (I don’t know if it works with the Mic 2) is when I used the receiver, it saves each mic on a separate channel. All in all, there’s no real difference that I’ve noticed (32-bit float?) aside from the size and the (in)convenience of the carrying case and charging

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

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.

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
