DJI Mic 2
DJI is best known for their industry-leading drones and gimbals, but their latest product shows they can also dominate the wireless audio space. The DJI Mic 2 is a feature-packed wireless microphone built specifically with the needs of today’s content creators in mind.
This pocket-sized microphone packs professional-grade audio capture into an intuitive all-in-one system perfect for vlogging, live streaming, interviews, and more. At its core are two transmitters, each capped with high quality microphones to capture crystal clear audio. An omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures your voice is balanced regardless of where you position the mic.
Intelligent Mic
What makes the DJI Mic 2 special is its focus on intelligent features that solve common pain points for anyone creating videos or streaming. Active noise cancellation uses advanced algorithms to cut down on ambient sounds, resulting in clear vocals even in noisy environments. Automatic channel switching ensures a reliable wireless connection free of dropouts, while a secondary safety track recorded at a lower level protects against loud audio spikes.
Seamless Integration Across Devices
The DJI Mic 2 stands out through seamless integration across devices. Connect via Bluetooth to your phone for recording or live streaming using third party apps. Attach the included camera cable to auto sync recording with select DJI cameras or camcorders. A USB-C or Lightning adapter cables to smartphones, while 3.5mm and USB-C ports connect to traditional cameras and laptops. Switching recording sources is made easy thanks to automatic pairing when stowed in the charging case.
With up to 14 hours of internal recording on each transmitter plus an extra 18 hours when combined with the chic charging case, creators have ample flexibility when filming videos out in the field. Recording is an impressive 32-bit floating point format, allowing for a wide dynamic range that captures the subtle intricacies of your voice in post-production.
The DJI Mic 2 really shines when paired with the brand’s famous gimbal stabilizers. Attach a transmitter to capture clearer audio than the built-in mics on devices like the DJI Pocket 3 or DJI Action 2. The tiny, lightweight transmitters clip to clothing easily with no cables to worry about. As you move the gimbal to frame the perfect shot, your voice remains crisp and clear.
A More Capable Receiver
Creators will also appreciate the quality of life improvements on the newly redesigned receiver. An OLED touchscreen with haptic feedback provides crystal clear monitoring options to adjust gain, headphone volume, or playback recordings. No more fiddling blindly with small buttons. The multipurpose control wheel right up top further unlocks convenient adjustments on the fly.
Cinematic Audio Recording in an affordable package
In the past, truly cinematic audio recording required bulky equipment, technical know-how, and serious money. DJI has managed to pack premium sound and a suite of content creation focused features into a pocketable form factor at just $329. For videographers, vloggers, journalists, musicians, and streaming personalities, the DJI Mic 2 is the simplest way to give your content truly professional sound. Pick one up today to give your viewers an audio experience as immersive as the visuals you work so hard to capture.
