- The new DJI Mic 2 that comes with the Pocket 3 has 32 bit float, on board recording AND bluetooth. Meaning it can now be connected and used with an entire range of smartphones and action cameras. I'm impressed! This potentially makes it one of the best and most versatile microphones for iPhone and other smartphones (assuming it works with others).

Game changer mate and that distance is awesome!
I was struggling to find a way to use it after connecting to Bluetooth but the app you suggested solved my problem! thanks!
Please share the App link. Thanks 😊
Bro
This videos is exactly what I was looking for
Congrats for the content
I want to use a small gimbal(iPhone ready to go gimbal) and all the smartphone gimbals don’t have the space or payload for the mic as the smartphones are placed close to the gimbal motor.
The audio quality is great by the way
Thanks
BRILLIANT!!
What do you think of the Bluetooth audio? Obviously not as good as a proper wireless connection but I thought it was useable.
Thanks for testing this combination, I never even thought it could connect with bluetooth to the iphone or other camera. Really good news, I don't like plugging stuff into the phone as it's a pain, but bluetooth audio that's really nice. I'm so glad I bought the creator combo now. I wonder if that's also true of the original pocket 2 wireless mic.
Thanks for sharing this!
Sounds very good! Ordered! )
does it work with the camera app the phone comes with? I need to use that app because its the only one that lets you zoom between all 3 lenses while filming
Very curious about this
Yes same here can you use without the Black Magic App?
Can you use it with OBS ❓
The 3 lenses are a gimmick, Everyone says use x1 lens only for max quality, the x2 and x5 are cropped preset. if using BMapp you will see that there is only ONE sensor, and the presets are there as shortcuts etc, but if you use the magnifier, you just dial in amount of zoom wanted, but optical zoom is up to 2 x only after that its digital zoom. Will be getting the Tilta Nucleus II for zoom and focus control, so an expensive and only way of getting a smooth zoom, but focus pull main feature. Wish BM app had apples Cinematic mode featuring depth bokeh feature as that would be awesome, but that is AI based and sort of auto so would render manual settings as over ridden, and the whole point of the BM app is manual exposure controls etc hence the need for ND filters toto virtual F stop light reduction as apple lens is fixed at full open aperture design. So have to use both apps. So if zoom really wanted beyond 2x or more natural wide angle, then FREWELL have the sharpest add on lenses, but my bill is getting as high as the phone itself with all my addons, as I wont be using this phone for phone use, purely as a minimalistic camera rig to compliment my BMPCC cameras and ACE PRO's, and 360 cameras
@@DanielCarrazanathrough Bluetooth connectivity?
Really handy tip thank you! And if it were me using the mic out in adverse weather i would probably keep the transmitter in my pocket and connect up a lav miv so that the mic has a better chance of surviving the rain. I am off to try to connect it to my insta360! Thanks!
Good point! And you can get waterproof lav mics too
Thats brilliant👍
Good to know, problem is having to buy a Pocket 3 just to get this mic at the moment. Hoping they start selling the DJI Mic 2 soon as a standalone product.
I bought mine as a stand alone product .....YOU DONT have to buy the complete kit. Mic2 is 89 pounds
Thank You for sharing :) great news
can you use the default iphone camera app with the mic?
sounds pretty good to me. Do we have any info on when it will be released on its own?
Interesting! Thanks
Fantastic
This is awesome, Steve. I've been enjoying your other channel for a long time--nice to see you focusing on tech here. Happy to subscribe. As for the Mic 2, this is amazing. I have the DJI Mic and it's incredible. I'd love to see an audio quality comparison between the iPhone BT Mic 2 setup as shown in this video along with the DJI Mic. I'm actually more interested in the 32 Bit Float. If that's true, when they release the Mic 2 I will definitely be getting one. I also wonder if the Mic 2 will pair to the original Mic transmitter.
BTW, as you already know you can just grab 1 of the 2 original DJI Mic transmitters and record audio without anything else needed... then sync up in post. I've used it that way before when my USB-C port was already busy. What you've demonstrated is another great option and I look forward to seeing more testing from you! Thanks mate
Thanks! I don’t reply to as many comments on this channel as don’t have the time. But hopefully the videos are still useful.
Think I’m going to have to do a few more tests with this mic!
@@stevestechemporium yes please! 👊
Thats really handy I wonder if you can connect 2 mic2 transmitters
Ha. Just used it to connect to my MacBook! Great for zoom calls or streaming.
Oh excellent that’s great to know!
Very useful, thank you! I bough only the DJI-mic transmitter and I thought I can't use it without a receiver in order to be able to pair it with my iPhone 13 Pro. But with the Blackmagic Camera app it really worked. Awesome tip! And how did you manage to enhance the voice with Adobe Podcast? Is there a way to synchronise the new audio clip with the video? What app/program did you use to do that? Cheers
This looks great and sounds good. I'm curious what the actual audio quality (sample rate etc..) is compared to just recording internally. Reviews of seen of the Instamic when used via blue tooth were poor compared internal recording.
Great video. I have ordered the single Mic 2 & will be released as a single in the 16th of Feb. here in Australia & i imagine worldwide.
And what you think about it? It’s work with classic camera app? You like it?
Errrrrrmmmmm this is amazing!
That sound improvement with the Adobe AI software was great! 👍🏻
It’s really impressive! And you can adjust the strength of the effect too so it’s not “too studio” sounding
@@stevestechemporium unfortunately I don't think mirrorless cameras will have the required hardware & codecs to use the Mic2 without a seperate receiver. Hope I'm wrong!
Just because they connect to the iPhone for example doesn't mean we are necessarily getting the best quality. I suspect the official receiver will give much better quality for input into other devices. The bluetooth standard eg v5.3 is only one piece of the puzzle. It then needs the required software and hardware to support the codecs.
@@stevestechemporium It was ever so slightly roboticly sounding, but I wouldn't notice if you would have not said it was enhanced with ai, otherwise it's great
Hey Steve, thanks for the video. I have an off topic question - I really like the color grade. Could you explain a little bit about how you achieved that? The red, the green in the grass, the contrast? Am I also seeing some added grain?
Thanks very much!
Just purchased this as the Pocket 3 combo ... and DAMN I'm as impressed by this as I am with with the camera - had heard nothing about that it could do 32 bit float either internally or to the Pocket, I'm looking at my Rode Wireless Go and ME and wondering if I even need these (will do a sound quality test later to see... though for quick shoot and scoot using the default iPhone camera will probably still use one of the Rodes (which will use the audio input from the Rodes)
Wonder when I get my Combo kit, which is on back order from DJI, if it will work using the blue tooth on the iMac 24" The sound from that new mic sounds amazing. Best Dave
It works.
Honestly, i got the dji mic 1 and is great, but for what i need it for, i think dji mic 2 is pretty darn good and convenient.
Now you need to go back outside and test it with the gopro 12. If it works with that then DJI will have to rush the firmware out for the action 4
But I didn’t buy the 12😢 could test with 11 though
This is great news, eventually when it's released on its own it will make for a great stand alone iPhone mic - and if the audio is that critical to the project just use the inbuilt 32bit Float. I suspect GoPro have blocked it working, 'cos if it did then there would be no need for their media mod cage/case/thing anymore. Someone in DJI land, sat down and made the decision of making the best Drones, the best Vlogging camera, the best Action Camera and now the best Wireless mics... For example, how much of yours and Paul Messner's gear is now from DJI? 🙏🏽
I use kit from DJI, Insta360 & Sony.
My Sony mirrorless cameras are still the ones that shoot the best visuals and for my pro work.
Hard to compete with full frame mirrorless. But DJI is dominating the lightweight consumer market.
Can you adjust the volume output on the standalone mic?
Also, what bluetooth standard does it use?
Also also, how does it sound in high wind with the deadcat?
Does the noise canceling on the DJI Mic 2 work w/ the iPhone too? Will it work w/ the native iPhone Camera app too?
The Adobe Audio Enhancement sounds unbelievable. Sounds like a voice over you did in post production. Which it is kind of, but with AI and not with a studio mic. :)
Is this Video Recorded on the Iphone 15? quality looks amazing
Nice review. Could you try it without the dead cat? Especially indoors, it’s not needed unless windy. I’m guessing that’s why the comments say it’s muddy. Oh, and did you activate the onboard noise reduction? Test that on/off 😊👍🏻
Hello sir. Can the iphone bluetooth CONNECT with BOTH mics??????
the DJI2 manual says no - just one at a time.
are you using the iphone native video recording app? in my iphone 13, the native video app will not record video, nor will irecord and I've seen instructions for me to use a non-native iphone app for audio or video with audio recording. is the iphone 15 better in this regard or do you use a different app for video w audio?
Hi, what is the name of this application to be able to record audio with the DJI mic 2 microphone with iPhone?
Hello bro... good news! It works with my android phone as well, the Samsung Galaxy S22 ULTRA. Thank you for your great discovery.
Excellent good to know! We are going to need to compile a list of
@MyChannel737 how did you get it to work on the native app?
I did a similar test on my channel, and must say the blutooth audio quality is way lower than when plugged in. I hope they can fix it via firmware update.
Tried it wit Action 4 and works great. Not sure about it’s water resistance level. Where in Ireland are you from just curious? Love your videos very clear
it works with the action 4 now? It didn't last week, did you update the firmware?
I'm from County Antrim in Northern Ireland, kinda north east area. The bit that's in a "its complicated relationship" with the rest of the island and Great Britain
Question here, is it possible to pair 2 mics at the same time like you would using a camera, with 2 mics and 1 reciver? To record lets say an interview or talking vlog with 2 people?
I know you can't use the internal 32bit float audio without the receiver or other DJI device (which is a shame), but can you set the gain via the video app there?
@stevestechemporium: how is it with auto reconnect - to IPhone - or OSMO Action 3/4??? Do you always have to reconnect again? And - onboard recording of the Mic - how long, which fileformat - how to get it out of the Mic and what is the Batterylive? Any chance to test with GoPro 12 via Bluetooth?
I tried this, do you notice the sound quality is more "microphoney" when connecting to other devices than pocket 3? When I see others connecting it to pocket 3 it sounds much clearer
Can you listen to music on AirPods Pro while using the dji mic to record video simultaneously?
I think the new update to the BM app fixed it, I tried it when I first got it and it thought it was a headset/speaker. Thats awesome that it works now!
Where can I buy this. There’s no on DJI website
Does this work with the native iPhone camera app, I don’t want to have to use the black magic app
I hope we start to see more dedicated Bluetooth mics. I’d love one that works with the Hero 12 😬
This DJI Mic2 will not pair to the Hero12?
@@GrenlandUnderVann not according to other comments…
@@DaleyOutdoors Yeah, I just tried. Maybe the DJI Mic needs a firmware update. Or that crap GoPro firmware.
@@GrenlandUnderVann Yeah, the Hero 12 will see it, but it won't connect due to lack of update, it's funny, we're not really even meant to be talking about this on penalty of death. I'm hoping we get an update for the Action 4 so it sees it and works with it, I can't stand using the damn receiver and transmitter, I just want one dedicated bluetooth mic that works perfectly.
@@PhillipSkraba The official release of the Mic 2 can't be that far away...
Is it possible to connect a mic to the iPhone, and have airpods while monitoring the mic through live listen? So I can hear the mic through the airpods?
What app you use ?
I’m not having it connect via Bluetooth. I’m pressing and holding the link button and I’m using it with an iPhone 15 when I go into my Bluetooth settings it doesn’t pop up as an option to choose.
What mic are you using in the first 2 min of the video?
really enjoying your content - question, I want to get the pocket 3 with the mic, is this the same mic that can connect to the phone?
Yeah it’s the DJI Mic 2 that comes with the Pocket 3 Creator combo pack.
@@stevestechemporium well, I was on the fence about buying that, but now I definitely have to do it
sounds bad to me. I am not sure you've recordered the proper quality without receiver - sounds like really bad mic.
Works on my iPhone XS. Great tip. Wonder if it would work with insta 360 X3?
Good to know! Yup I just tested it and works with the X3!
When they release the Action 5 with blue tooth, it will be fait a complit 🤣
Could you try; turning on the mic, pressing and holding the record button until the power button light turns green, then press the record button again to start receding and see if that does noise cancelling as is without adobe ? Let me know, thanks a mil 🍀
Hey, perhaps a Mini 5 Pro will have voice control, eg. bank left down 20m straight on, climb 50 banking right, tilt gimbal down 10°, really smooth out the bumps 🤔
Hi, I have a problem. When I connect the DJI MIC 2 via bluetooth and open the Blackmagic cam, I cannot use the noise canceling mode. Do you found this problem like me ?
Great 👌🙌😊
Did you attempt to measure the lag? BT devices are notorious for introducing time lag, either transmitting or receiving. It didn't seem *too* bad from your video, trying to gauge it with your lip movement.
Wasn’t any that I could see. And I spend a lot of time watching myself talking so I’d have noticed.
The audio quality is very good for a youtube video, IMO.
Cool
To answer your question: this video was indeed helpful. Cheers!
Excellent, you’re welcome
If only we could monitor via blutooth as well. Maybe Blackmagic camera app could work this into their app. Right now it only lets you select one audio source, but if it could connect two, you could connect airpods and DJI mic 2 to iphone, then select airpods as output and DJI mic 2 to input.
so the difference between old dji mics and this new one is that it has bluetooth? that's why we cant connect old transmitters to the internal receiver?
Hi, I am considering purchasing this mic, but Djibouti says “when connected via Bluetooth, you can’t utilise internal recording or noise cancelling”. Is still the case?
What were you using for audio before the DJI mic, because that sounds 100000x better
Exactly, audio quality is disappointing. A lavalier mic 100 meters away, I don't get it.
I started scrolling through comments hoping to find the answer to this question
How are you finding the battery life on the 15 Pro
A lot better than my 13 Pro
Well… could this really work for outdoor weather conditions?
It is great to have the ability to record straight to a phone wirelessly…. If someone is a perfectionist, they can also take the audio from the DJI 2 mic and sync it to the video in post, if you don’t like the Bluetooth audio.
¡Hola! Iphone no permite conectar audio a su app camara y las aplicaciones al iniciar grabación deshabilita la reducción de ruido. Parece que es una restricción a la IA de DJI MIC 2. ESto ocurre a pesar de que se compra como Audio for IPHONE. ¿Publicidad engañosa o salió el producto antes de tiempo del horno?
holy hell, whats the AI enchancement widget
Great video. However, after trying it, it appears that the mike only records one channel and does not support stereo sound.
I’m i the only one thinking that the audio quality coming out wireless microphones is not good enough ??
Exactly. The first part of the video actually sounds good. Then, after switching to the DJI mic, not soo much. It is cool and super convenient, but the sound quality kinda sucks 😥
I’d argue that if you can clearly hear what I’m saying then that is good enough. Depends on the usage but I think it’s definitely good enough for vlogs. And you always have the option of enhancing the audio which makes a big difference.
I think the fact I used a shotgun mic at the start makes the Lav audio sound much worse by comparison
It's not just you... it definitely sounds muddy, not crispy, not clear. I have the original DJI Mic and it sounds 1000💯better. They need a firmware update this with better sound quality. No matter how innovative a mic is, if its not clear and clean, I won't buy it.
Over Bluetooth the quality would sound way worse. When used with the Dji receiver, it will be using WiFi which transfers at a higher resolution
Он записал звук на внутреннюю память 😂 и потом на монтаже синхронизировал
Such a great find!!😃😃😃. Could you check if this combo works with a SSD plugged in please
Can I still use AirPods to monitor the sound at the same time???
I was wondering about if it would work with the action 4. 👍
It does
Nice! So would this work with in Insta360 x3? Connect via the airpods option maybe.
Yup, tested it last night!
@@stevestechemporium amazing! So did you connect it through the AirPods option on the x3? That would be a game changer for me. 🤩
I need your help please. I paired the mic to the phone, and used the black magic camera app to select the DJI mic as your video instructed. I made a short recording and can see the meters indicating recording using the DJI mic, but can't hear any playback out of the iPhone. When I open the file separately outside the black magi app the sound is there, but I get no audio when previewing the clip from the black magic app. What am I doing wrong? Is there some way to set up the black magic app previews to play the audio that I am missing? Advise.
I also discovered that mapping the audio source to the DJI mic using the black magic app does not extend that DJI source mapping to the native iPhone camera app. Recording using the native iPhone app ignores that mapping and there is no apparent setting in the iOS to make that mapping to the DJI mic to happen. If you are aware of any way to make the native iPhone camera app inherit the DJI source mapping please let me know.
It would seem obvious that Apple would provide a way to accomplish that mic source mapping in settings, so perhaps I am just not finding it.
Hi Mark. I think you might need to disconnect the mic to hear the playback. If it’s connected the phone can think it’s a pair of headphones and so it tries to output audio via Bluetooth.
Apparently the UK version of this mic isn't the same as the US. There's no blinking blue light when you hit the link button.
Hmmm something about the quality of the Bluetooth audio just didn’t sound very high quality. Reminded me of early music streaming. Recording internally might be a better option and then syncing in post. Your opening 1:30 was the best audio of this entire video.
Bluetooth audio isn’t as good as a normal wireless connection but it’s much better than I was expecting. I tested Bluetooth audio a couple of years ago and unusable. This is good enough to use, at least for CZcams videos and social.
The audio at the start with with a directional shotgun mic, which is the best option for quality. But it will have made the Bluetooth audio sound worse by comparison. Lav mics are always less clear sounding than shotgun.
cool
can we buy only 1 mic and use it with iphone through bluetooth?
Can we connect it to iPhone 11?
Can you make a comparison with the Bluetooth to the internal recording???
Should have tried that! The internal recording will definitely be better
@@stevestechemporium I mean with resolve audio isolation, almost anything sounds good. So the Bluetooth wouldn’t be an issue. Syncing up in post CAN be a pain, but it’s not that big a deal
My sounds like static ,when connected bluetooth to galaxy s22. :( you know why?
There's speculation that the DJI Mic 2 might be able to connect to the Action 4 directly (no receiver). If that's the case, I'll buy both.
I’m hoping this will be the case!
@@stevestechemporium Fingers crossed. Honestly I am already very happy they released an official 3.5 mm adapter so I can directly plug in my tiny mic without the need for a cage. Ultralight baby.
Tested successfully with a Samsung S22 Ultra using the native camera app. 🙌
Can you share how did you pair it? I couldn't get it to work with my S22 Ultra :(
@@WanderEats I just paired it like I would pair any bluetooth earbuds. I put the microphone in pairing mode (blinking blue LED), and the microphone was listed on the phone's available devices.
Are the mic 2 interoperable with the dji mic? I can't find this info anywhere.
I don’t think so, but DJI hasn’t released any official info about it yet.
Thank god i waited for the DJI Mic 2 and did not buy the Rode Wireless Pro! Cant wait until they release the Receiver & 2X TX Set!
Yeah I’ve always preferred the DJI mics, I’ve got two sets I use for interviews for my commercial work.
I believe that DJI had intentionally delayed the release so that they could get rid of the current market stock. As long as they are satisfied with the sold units of dji mic 1, they will release the mic 2.
Is this possible with the DJI mic 1 with Bluetooth? (Without using the receiver plugged into the phone?)
Nope
Cool, but I’m surprised it’s took this long for someone to make a Bluetooth enabled mic. That AI enhancement was a nice improvement
There have been other options in the past but any I tried were terrible
Wait, has DJI released a New mic with 32bit float recording? Cos I can't see it anywhere online
It’s currently only shipping with the Pocket 3. They haven’t released it separately yet
@stevestechemporium oh I see, really hoped they release one with a physical menu button
AI Enhancement? Just a fancy EQ! An eq plugin or 3rd party audio plugin in a video or DAW can make the audio sound so much better than Adobe AI!
It’s not just an EQ. It does a lot more than just manipulate what’s already there.
Ok so apparently it DOESN’T work yet with the Action 4. I’d hope DJI will add support for it. Has anyone tested this on other smartphones? Been told the mic is a bit "Hot" with the iPhone 14.
Works with my Android Pixel 8 Pro. There's easy audio settings to select between the onboard phone mic or the bluetooth connected mic (the DJI Mic 2).
The HERO12 picks it up as a Bluetooth device, but won't fully connect. Damn! But.... You can still record to the DJI mic and just clap to get sound synch on the recordings. The only question is, how drizzle or weatherproof is the mic?
Thanks for checking! Been told it works with Insta360 X3
Had a message from someone who was told it did work with the Hero12 for them. Interesting! At the very least that means it’s unreliable
@@stevestechemporium Interesting! I was using the latest firmware, so maybe that has an effect. I've tried a few times and it lets me click to add it, but then it stays stuck on the pairing process.
Maybe GoPro deliberately blocked it 😂 wouldn’t be surprised if
@@stevestechemporium Hmf, BT Audio is supposed to be a compliance standard so how could they? But the DJI Mic2 TX connected straight to my Samsung S22 Ultra...
Connected to iPhone 15pro max using Blackmagic app. Mic is selected as audio source & audio meter is show it’s picking up audio. But on playback no audio what so ever!!! Any pointers?
Works on the insta360 x3 though
You have to disconnect the mic to hear the audio playback, as otherwise the phone thinks there’s a mic connected.
@@stevestechemporium thanks. That sorted it! 👍🏼
bro, i tried, mic is connected but when i played the video theres no sound
its not connecting to my iphone 12 max pro
