DJI has announces its next wireless microphone systemThe Mic Mini, which shrinks all the hardware while improving battery life. The new microphones weigh less than half the weight of the more expensive DJI Mic 2 transmitters, but the new system sacrifices useful features like built-in backup recording and the option to connect an even smaller lav mic in the name of improving portability. Does.
Although the DJI Mic Mini sounds superior to the DJI Mic 2 system in many ways, it is not a replacement. Mic Mini transmitters lack the ability to record backup audio themselves. If this is a concern, you'll have to rely on your recording software, such as DJI's Mimo app, which can capture a second safety track at a lower volume to avoid clipping and distortion.
You can't connect your lav mics to transmitters and hide them (which means DJI's logo will always be prominently displayed in your videos), and the wireless receiver lacks a screen to monitor audio levels – This won't cut it for many Pros, even if they're cheaper than $349 mic 2,
dji mic mini is now Available From the company's online store and other “authorized retail partners,” shipping begins today. It is available as part of a kit with two microphone transmitters, a wireless receiver, a charging case, and other accessories for $169.

What is not small is the battery life of the Mic Mini. DJI says the mic transmitter will operate for up to 11.5 hours on a full charge, while the wireless receiver can last for up to 10.5 hours. When paired with a charging case that “provides an additional 3.6 full charges,” the Mic Mini system can be used for up to 48 hours without needing access to power. DJI's Mic 2 system had a maximum battery life of six hours for the transmitter and receiver.
The mic transmitters can connect directly to smartphones and mobile devices or to DJI devices via Bluetooth Osmo Action 5 Pro, osmo action 4And osmo pocket 3Two of them can also be connected to the Mic Mini Wireless Receiver simultaneously to extend the transmission range up to 400 meters. The receiver connects to other devices over a USB-C, Lightning, or 3.5mm audio cable and features a dial with five gain settings to adjust the level of incoming sound.
