DJI Mic 2 (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) (Refurbished Unit)

this is an AMAZING piece of equipment with a SUPER SOLID metal case construction, all magnetic docking for 2x wireless mics and 1x wireless receiver. the screen on the receiver looks almost like oled as it's super super bright and the turn dial is clicking and very tactile so you don't accidentally adjust the volume or toggles wrongly. it's so smart and able to detect how many mics are in use. when you dock 1 of the 2 mics, the screen switches to a single mic pickup screen. amazing for this value. super super good value here including the 2 wind fluff balls, the docking charge case AND a carry pouch. love it. feels like $1,000 value in another S- brand product. seriously don't think further. super good value for quality, easily above the other s-brand. love it.

2 months in, lots of problems

Let me first say that I have had many drones, currently use a Mavic 3 pro, and it's an AMAZING piece of equipment that I use multiple times per week, so I'm a DJI fanboy for sure...Now for the Mic 2...... First problem, the Orange (output) TRS 3.5mm port on the receiver no longer functions at all. I tried factory reset, updating firmware... it's dead. So to get audio to my camera I have to use the headphone output, which is not as good a quality. The safety tracks stopped working, so no matter factory resetting or firmware updates, the safety track shows enabled, but it's never recorded, it's just completely not there, can't figure out how to fix that. The case only charges the transmitter on the right side, the left side no longer charges the mic, so I have to ... MoreLet me first say that I have had many drones, currently use a Mavic 3 pro, and it's an AMAZING piece of equipment that I use multiple times per week, so I'm a DJI fanboy for sure...Now for the Mic 2......

Like many others I called and talked to support, they said they have no knowledge of the product so the transferred me... I waited to be transferred for 59 minutes then at 60 minutes the line was disconnected..... Wow, just wow.

I don't write reviews for all my gear but had to here

This product is simply amazing. I used it a handful of times already and cannot think of a single issue with it. The only mics I have to compare them to are the rode wireless II, which is slightly older. I have had a few issues with those and recently the power button, which was always finicky, completely broke.I didn't want to move away from Rode because I've owned several Rode mics over the years, and their wireless mics combo was the only thing I ever had complaints about. But back to DJI.Every single thing feels and acts like quality with them. I don't want to go over the features of it here, you can read about that in the description. Event their twist ties within the packaging were quality. I can't explain it.Maybe if I come across any issues I'll come ... MoreThis product is simply amazing.

This mic is a bummer

DJI Mic Version 1 is with me 100 percent of the time. You never know when you need quality audio when on a photoshoot. In fact, it once granted me an interview with Mark Hamill that aired during EXTRA.That being said, I love that mic.The follow up- better battery, better sound, redesigned receiver. Seems like a grand slam.Let's start with lav mic capabilities. Half of the lav mics won't work or need a TRS adapter. I went all in and bought 4 Shur MVL mics, they are great. but need an adapter, making the transmitter bulkier and adds another connection you need to account for. Not all adapters seem to work perfectly either.So these don't work with screw on mics or TRRS mics (the ones with the three lines on the connector).I'm bummed. I bought 2 of these and ... MoreDJI Mic Version 1 is with me 100 percent of the time. You never know when you need quality audio when on a photoshoot.

I bought 2 of these and four mics and it hasn't been as seamless as I expected.However, these mics work with the version 1. So... maybe version 2 is going back. I'm always considering redundancy. How easy is it to get things I might have lost or left at home in a pinch, having a mystery mic connection doesn't give me peace of mind I'll be able to pivot if I need to.Outside of that, they are great. Good sound. Cute little guys with clear bodies. The footprint in my bag is larger. I can only fit this pouch and another pouch with my mics, where before I could fit my DJI and a battery charger in my bag slot. I have some decisions I need to make before my return window is closed.

Unreliable, DO NOT BUY

I am a wedding videographer, I bought these mics in July after reading so many good reviews and the hype about the 32bit. I have TRIED to use these at several weddings but they're insanely unreliable. You can search reddit and other forums and you'll find the same complaints everywhere but DJI doesn't appear to have a fix. And if you're outside of the narrow 30 day window B&H will not let you return them. (IMO 30 days isn't enough time to establish if a product works for most photographers and videographers..)The mics are unreliable, and for someone who does weddings - reliability is key! Wedding audio is a once in a lifetime moment, huge moments in someone's life that cannot just be re-recorded unreliable audio recording is a major issue!Here's a list of the ... MoreI am a wedding videographer, I bought these mics in July after reading so many good reviews and the hype about the 32bit.

Wedding audio is a once in a lifetime moment, huge moments in someone's life that cannot just be re-recorded unreliable audio recording is a major issue!Here's a list of the reoccurring issues I have had with this system:More often than not, only get 1 of the 2 transmitters will connect to the receiver.The transmitters only work with certain Lav's, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency with which they work. One day I used a Tascam Lav and the transmitter fed into the receiver just fine. The very next weekend the same set up wouldn't work with a Lav at all. As soon as I unplugged the Lav the transmitter started feeding to the receiver again. Then I tried a Rhode Lav, same issue.Recently, the transmitters themselves have just stopped recording altogether. If I press the record button it blinks red once and vibrates. (If it were recording, it would vibrate then the light would be constant red. The single red blink means it's not recording) This weekend the transmitter actually stopped recording HALFWAY THROUGH A CEREMONY and I lost all of the audio for the later half of the wedding. The next day at a different wedding, it wouldn't record at all and I had to break out my back up gear.I have done firmware updates, emptied the transmitters of any previous recordings and am still coming up with the same issues. I am beside myself with frustration and between poor customer service and B&H and DJI. If you shoot weddings or any other event that is a one and done, can't be re-recorded event. DO NOT BUY THESE!

[Rewarded Review] All You Need in One Tiny Packa

I'm a Rode guy and I have the Rode Wireless Pro but I bought this for my quick on the go and oh boy I'm glad I did. This system has to be the most well thought out of them all. From the very intuitive touchscreen functionality (with the introduction of thr new fly wheel), to the new Bluetooth connectivity to other devices, to familiar and tested ability to attach directly to a cell phone with the provided hard attachment for both USB and lightening without the clunky wires, I have exactly what I need for run and gun projects as well as more professional gigs.And I didn't even mention that the recordings are 32-bit float that serves as an instant and very reliable back up no matter what the range is for wireless connectivity.I can go on and about the features but ... MoreI'm a Rode guy and I have the Rode Wireless Pro but I bought this for my quick on the go and oh boy I'm glad I did.

I AM TOTALLY HAPPY with my purchase. This thing delivers and does it well.I must admit though, I'm sticking to my Rode system for the more professional jobs because I like it a bit better but that should not be interpreted in any way that the DJI system is worse. It's just different for my needs.I hope this helps.

[Rewarded Review] Disappointed

When everything was working I definitely used these as my end all be all solution. As a professional cinematographer I really wanted to love these since I hate bringing clunky audio for quick applications. The biggest problem I’ve been having is the audio output gave out not once, but twice. I sent them to be repaired and now they gave out yet again. So that off the bat is my biggest issue. Maybe I just got a bad copy? This is one of the most important features since I just need quality audio straight to my camera.My other critique is why does the receiver have such poor attachment options? I think the bottom should be removable so you can add Arri pin or 1/4” threads. This is a miss. I guess I’m giving a $400 product too much of a harsh judgement but these could ... MoreWhen everything was working I definitely used these as my end all be all solution.

Just a little more build quality and it be right there.The good, the sound quality, recording ability from the receiver, and the compact form factor with charging case.

[Rewarded Review] Ease of Use

After upgrading the system to its most recent firmware, the audio quality has been enhanced, even without any editing. However, I recommend adjusting the equalization settings when editing to optimize the sound of your voice. While Bluetooth connectivity on the iPhone 15 Pro is functional, its audio quality is not optimal. Notably, it is not possible to record internally while connected to Bluetooth. Instead, you must connect the receiver to your phone, which provides superior audio quality and enables internal recording.Numerous YouTube tests and reviews demonstrate the device’s capabilities, which I concur with. While I personally find certain aspects of the device to be enjoyable, I advise you to familiarize yourself with equalization techniques to enhance the ... MoreAfter upgrading the system to its most recent firmware, the audio quality has been enhanced, even without any editing.

I rate it four stars due to its inability to record internally when connected to the phone’s Bluetooth.

[Rewarded Review] Good w/ Action 4 & Pocket 3

Probably the first thing I noticed in the specs was the 32 bit float. I'm often called upon to record music and having the dynamic range of 32 bit float was a real plus. Bluetooth to Action 4 & Pocket 3 keeps the amount of gear needed on location down (always good). The interface between camera and TX was initially a bit confusing, but will probably become second nature w/ time and use.The only gotcha so far, was when the video file splits, the video syncs in the edit sequence, but there was ~ 4 frames of audio missing in the first file. Full audio was recorded on the TX so OK in the end.It would be nice to have a better way (besides my stick on labels) to identify the TX in the software.

[Rewarded Review] Impressive performance

Many things have been said about this wireless microphone system, both good and bad. As for the negative, I have read complaints about DJI putting its logo everywhere, even on the magnets. True, but I personally don't see that as a decrement in the product's performance.The truth is that this system works amazingly. I recently tested it on a live video recording up in the Alps with a lot of wind, and the noise reduction was simply outstanding. It was as if the speaker was talking in an indoor studio.The battery life is remarkable, the design is slick, and the portability is exceptional. This last feature is fundamental for people like me who hike great distances with a backpack full of gear, and every gram you save becomes essential. Honestly, I have nothing but ... MoreMany things have been said about this wireless microphone system, both good and bad.
