Pros

  • Ultra-compact and portable: The entire system, including the transmitters, receiver, and charging case, is incredibly small and lightweight, making it easy to take anywhere.
  • Professional-sounding audio: The DJI Mic captures clear, crisp audio with omnidirectional sound pickup.
  • Impressive transmission range: With a maximum range of 250 meters (820 feet) in ideal conditions, you can capture audio from a distance without worrying about dropouts.
  • Easy to use: The DJI Mic is very user-friendly, even for beginners. The transmitters and receiver automatically pair with each other when taken out of the charging case, and there are no complicated menus or settings to deal with.
  • Long battery life: The DJI Mic boasts a battery life of up to 15 hours on a single charge, with the charging case providing an additional 3 charges.
  • Versatile recording modes: You can record in mono or stereo, and the DJI Mic also supports dual-channel recording, which is ideal for capturing audio from two separate sources.
  • Solid wind protection: The included windproof furry covers help to reduce wind noise when recording outdoors.
  • Multiple connectivity options: The receiver features a 3.5mm TRS jack and a USB-C port, so you can connect it to a variety of devices, including cameras, smartphones, and tablets.

Cons

  • Expensive: Compared to other wireless microphone systems on the market, the DJI Mic is on the pricier side. You can buy the origional version for $249 and the DJI Mic 2 for $349. I’ll review the version 2 shortly!
  • Limited recording options on iPhones: When used with an iPhone, the DJI Mic can only record in mono.
  • No automatic gain control: The DJI Mic does not have automatic gain control, so you’ll need to manually adjust the audio levels if they start to peak.

Overall

The DJI Mic is a great wireless microphone system for content creators who need a compact and easy-to-use solution for capturing high-quality audio. I’ve used this for over a. year now and it provides excellent sound quality, a long battery life, and an impressive transmission range.
