I've had the DJI Mic 2 for one full month now and recognized that I made 2 huge errors in my very first video. In this video, I cover those and answer some of the main questions from you guys because first video.

Lots of “DGI”s in this video. Sorry guys, pretty sure my mouth can’t say DJI unless I’m really thinking about it😑
😂😂
See my separate comment further down for details:
you *can’t* record internally/backup recording when connected via bluetooth to a smartphone. Not possible. You *can* trigger a recording if transmitter is in bluetooth mode *and* not connected to a smartphone (blue blinking light) – but if connected to a smartphone via bluetooth the recording button does nothing but angrily buzz and red light goes on and off again.
The Rode is significantly brighter in the top end and so seems more ‘present’ than the DJI. I’m not keen on the shiny plastic finish of the Rode though tbh. Swings and roundabouts …..
I think that’s totally right, the Rode’s built in mic has a brighter presence in the top end. But this is also both straight out of the transmitters without any editing. Pulled into edit, you can pretty much make either of them sound how you want
What an intro on this DGI video 🎉 🙌
Dude, SO many DGI’s when I started editing this🤣
Excellent follow up video! Turning off that low cut filter made a big difference!
Did you get a chance to see if the DJI 2 fits invisible on the insta360 x3 with the mount you mentioned?
Integrity brotha. That’s why I love your channel. Thanks for keeping it real/honest.
It is fine to make mistakes or be wrong, it happens. No one is perfect. Worse is never admitting and insisting on being wrong. Keep up!
It shows you care more about your viewers than bring right. Appreciate that David, thanks.
The Rode still sounds way more robust, the DJI mice sounds flat. They sound totally different even with speakers.
After watching your last video I almost didn’t buy the DJI mic 2 but I thought something wasn’t right so I decided to see for myself glad I did. Figured out the low cut in a couple minutes and realized the mistake in your last video. Thanks for the update. This is a great mic.
That routing path is more important for the longevity of the 90 degree connector than the “yank out” resistance. Trust me, back from the days of using wireless packs on my guitar…those 90 degree connections SUCK if they’re not stabilized well. Flexing them back and forth nearly always ends up wearing it out, and boy howdy are those teeny tiny connectors difficult to rewire and repair. The routing detail behind the clip is a nice design feature to mitigate that for sure.
Great job on the video David! Thanks for making it.
Nice follow up.. I’ve been a Rode guy but I think I’m going to replace my current Go IIs with the new DJI setup..
One thing I think is worth mentioning is that the lav mic is an extra expense with the DJI Mic 2, but you get two lav mics included with the RØDE wireless Pro…
Yeah, if you look at the packages side by side, and factor in the price of 2 dji lavs, the Dji mic 2 is actually more expensive than the Røde package – dji costs less money for «a» package, but more expensive if you want lavs as well
One issue with having the transmitter record locked on is that you can’t switch the transmitter into Bluetooth mode without going into settings on receiver and turning it off. (So if you want to hot swap from receiver to pocket 3 etc. you can’t do it easily) Also if your using Bluetooth on your iPhone / insata360 camera etc you can not record internally. For noise reduction I wish they would allow us to disable it completely. I have accidentally hit it a few times now. Otherwise, it is a great system, I think it’s more geared toward content creators than it is professionals, but for me, having ability to connect it to Bluetooth devices is what allows it to stay in my bag. I also have the rode wireless pro system but I don’t carry it unless it’s for specific reason..
on the mystery test the #1 is the dji, the sound is more muffled, audible even on my smartphone speakers in 360p quality on the video -and yes, the dji mic 2 is much clearer if held in front of the mouth like you do, but the problem is: these are supposed to be clipped to the chest, or clipped onto a jacket lapelle, and when worn like the the muffled-iness of the Dji Mic 2 is even more noticable compared to the Røde Wireless Pro. Although the Dji Mic 2 package «is cheaper» than the Røde package, they cost approx the same if adding lavaliers to the dji mic 2 (which might make’m more expensive than the røde package). And to get the clearest sound possible from the dji mic 2’s the cabled lav is necessary, and places it closer in sound to the Røde (but without the lav on the Røde).
I could still easily tell which one was which. Myster mic 2 was the Rode, which still sounds much better than the DJI, and that’s with laptop speakers. But it is closer now without the low cut engaged.
Thanks for the update. I’m curious as I had linked one of my Transmitters to my camera and I charge it in the case and it does not automatically re-link to the Receiver. Perhaps I don’t leave it in the case long enough when I open it?
I really loooove this video…not many of us can accept when we make a bobo, more over do a whole video with the changes and new perspective…thats why I love seen this guy. Honest, great, funny, what else you want XD
Holy crap, the DJI sounds way better now. I was a little put off by the DJI after that video until I saw this. Stoked, cause I still haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
