I really wanted the DJI Mic to be great . So , too , did Haje . finally , however , he walked away from the experience unimpressed by theend result . It was a disappointment from a class that can unfeignedly use a mobile - era rising slope . As someone who ’s done his share of TV spots , videos and stage interview over the years , it seems like the world of wireless lavaliere / lapel microphones has remain largely unchanging the whole time .
Over the past decade , as DJI has branched out from drone shaper to audio / television expert ( a surprising but logical jump in hindsight ) , the Shenzhen hardware behemoth has absolutely positioned itself to take on the task . But Haje ’s review ultimately receive the system lacking , with regard to features and cost .
These 24-hour interval , DJI is n’t alone in this burgeoning recession . Rode has bring out a few offerings in its Wireless Go series ( though it reportedly contend with various hardware issue ) , while Anker follow in and undersell everyone with the $ 250 M650 , which can presently be buy on Amazon for $ 180 . I play around with a set at CES last workweek , though COVID sternly hampered my real - world testing .
useable starting today , DJI ’s Mic 2 promises betterment to sound and noise isolation / cancelation — the latter of which is of utmost grandness for loud preferences like CES . The company say the newfangled organisation will also be capable to handle loud volume without peaking / distorting .
barrage capacity has been improved , as well , from 2,600 to 3,250mAh , bumping up run time up to six hour ( from five ) . Like its predecessor , the Mic 2 works in shape of one or two microphone . As someone always searching for way to up my podcast biz , I was hoping DJI would add the power to bring a third mic into the crease .
The company tells me , “ As of now , the receiver can link up with up to two transmitter , ” which seems to leave the possibility receptive — perhaps by way of a future firmware update . Meantime , you’re able to purchase it in two primary configurations : two mics , one receiver and the charging case for $ 349 ( not spoiled , if you require me ) or $ 219 for a undivided mic , receiver and telephone set adapter . Which make more sense depends on precisely what the person is looking to do with the arrangement . If it ’s just an on - camera standup , one should do the prank .
The caller is also selling accessories , including a $ 39 pumped-up lavalier mic minimal brain dysfunction - on . The Mic 2 is useable now through DJI’ssite .
