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 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.
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.
