Rode Wireless Pro here. Very cheap these days and I use the original Rode Lavs for hiding the mic under the shirt. Works very well. Battery lasts a long time and internal 32bit float recording is nice to have.
The pros last like a full day of shooting. Normal ones a little less but still five hours easily after multiple years of use.
The RODE Wireless Pro is a superior product. It actually supports timecode (even just time-of-day timecode if you don't actually do timecode sync, which in and of itself is SUPER important), and it doesn't have a janky low quality internal clock that causes audio drift like the DJI Mic 2.
When they came out I chose those rode over the DJI mic 2.
Definitely different use cases for everybody. I've owned the Rode Wireless Pro set for a year and have never found myself using the lapel mics. So weird for me that switching to the Mic 3's made more sense for me, as I hate the size of the Rode mics; they're hard to conceal when you don't want to attach wires to people. DJI seems to be shifting their target audience to mobile content creators, hobbyists, vloggers, influencers, etc. Rode is the one catering to the higher end professional users who care about functionality over form factor.
This is the way. Just to add I'd look for the RODE mini if you're going with them since it's more inline with the iphone shooting style. If you're planning on moving on to shooting on a camera at some point I'd save up for the wireless pro.
I have these and they are amazing!
Unless there's a specific feature or form factor that you REALLY liked with the DJI, I would probably just ride with the Rode (no pun intended). From what Ive read, they are very good quality, possibly better than the DJI. And I say that as someone who recently purchased a DJI Mic Mini and loves it.
I’ve used both, not sure if the Rode now comes with the magnet add-ons? Those really make the difference if you want your videos to look more professional. DJI mics come bundled with the magnets btw.
