DJI - Mic 2

I had a videographer buddy tell me about the DJI 2 mics, and based on his recommendation, my company went ahead and ordered a bunch of them...and they're awesome. The sound great, and I love the magnet so you can put the mic on the inside and just have the magnet on their clothing. Not only that, if I want to put a lav on them, it's easy to do. Loved them so much that I bought a couple of the minis for my own personal use.

I record with a insta 360 cam mounted to the back of my car. I plan on recording the audio while driving. I’ve tried the DJI mic 2 once, I put one next to the turbo in my car via the magnets (I was suspect about this but it lasted a 4 hour drive going pretty fast with no issues) and I mounted the other mic to my license plate. Both were using the dead cat. I was impressed with the quality but not blown away. I was also recording standalone and adding the audio & adjusting the gain in post. The engine bay records the turbo really well but I get mixed results by the exhaust. It records the exhaust well but there seems to be significant wind or road noise that interferes with the exhaust audio. I’m leaning towards the DJI mic 3 since the 2 had decent results but was wondering if the alt 2 devices would be better

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

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

Shooting in the studio / workshop my main camera is a GH5 and I tend to favour the Sigma 18-35mm f1.4 with a CPL filter due to wearing glasses, but it takes amazing video. I do audio separately through an Elgato Wave 3 as I love the sound. Then I have five different lights (three for me, one back, one backwall) to make sure everything is always lit well. If I'm roaming or shooting in or on a car I'll use either an Osmo Pocket 3 or Action 5 Pro. Sometimes use the Pixel 10 Pro for simple handheld stuff. Occasionally a DJI drone for aerial shots. Audio in on the go all filmed on DJI Mic 2, or a Tascam with a laravel of I'm recording car noises. So yeah. Mix it up depending what I need.

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

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 these and they are amazing! 

I don't have mine anymore, but I'm fairly certain you can turn off the light through the app. Edit: this setting in the app https://preview.redd.it/nxg3haaeqsbf1.jpeg?width=1190&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08ded450b2eb47d4a0ab36edda3d825c37850e66

I have both the DJI 2 and 3 Both receivers have 3.5 out and headphone. I know you’re talking about 3.5 in, but the 3 is small enough that the big advertising magnet isn’t that big lol. I like both of them, haven’t used the rodes
