so we have the DJI Mike mini we'll see

how good the Bluetooth is and I don't

know if it's uh if it's going to connect

but this is going to be crazy if it

connects via Bluetooth that is going to

be awesome so for the past few weeks

I've been using this right here the

allnew DJI Mike mini pretty much

alongside this guy the DJI Mike 2 I've

been putting the Mike mini through its

Paces using it from everything from just

personal vlogging doing a lot of range

tests also hooking this up to my

daughter when she's doing a play at her

school also when I was on site with a

client I also used the mik mini and I

definitely learned a lot of things with

the mik mini especially in comparison to

the DJI mic 2 so in this video of course

let's go through all of the new features

and advantages and talk about some of

the shortcomings when comparing it to

the DJI Mike 2 first and foremost let's

get some of the main stuff out of the

way which is pretty obvious Mike mini

comes in about less than half the size

and weight of the DJI Mike 2 of course

with that size difference one of the

biggest advantages of the mik mini is

hooking it up to your talent or hooking

it up to your shirt you don't have a

heavier mic like the mic 2 which weighs

about 28 G the mic mini comes in at only

10 G also has that little small M has a

mini magnet on the back so you can hook

it up to your chest just like this and

you're able to have this thing on your

talent and of course like I said it

doesn't pull your shirt down as much as

some of the heavier mics now I like to

wear black shirts a lot so of course

this matches my black shirt but if you

are wearing white this right here they

have the mic mini in what they call the

arctic white so here are the two

different colors for the mic mini when

it come out to microphones we have

built-in mics here at the very top of

the mic mini as well as of course the

DJI mic 2 the one thing that you will

notice here on the very top of the mic

mini versus the DJI mic 2 is that there

is no port for you to hook up a wired

mic so if you wanted to use something

like a lavalier mic like you can on the

DJI mic 2 you're not able to do that on

the mic mini next about range and this

was something that actually really

surprised me the range on the Mike mini

rated for 400 m in distance lineup site

where the DJI Mike 2 is rated for 250 M

all right now I am hooked up to the DJI

action 5 via Bluetooth so we have the

DJI Mike mini in the same location here

in downtown Petco Park and I'm going to

do the same thing I'm going to have my

back to the microphone and back to the

camera we'll see how good the Bluetooth

is right now I'm just handholding the

mic and we'll just head down here I'm

going to try to continue talking as I do

this video right now I'm facing the

camera so this should be good to go now

let's turn my

back testing

one camera now facing the camera how

does the audio sound testing 1 2 3 4 5

remember this is Bluetooth so I don't

know if this is going to have any range

do you see do you see the bars moving

the bars are moving all right so the

bars are moving my back

isera I moving now but we'll see all the

way again to

stage now I am facing the camera way

over here and I don't know if it's uh if

it's going to connect but this is going

to be crazy if it connects via Bluetooth

that is going to be awesome but turning

my to the camera testing 134 1345 how

does the audio sound and let's work our

way

back that would be awesome if uh this

thing does work at that distance with

Bluetooth

and see if we have any cutouts so coming

back up how does the audio sound coming

from this little tiny guy hooked up to

that right there which you're seeing is

a DJI action 5 Pro all right so the DJI

mik or Mike mini is H up to the action

and I think this is where you're going

to see a lot of benefit if you are just

trying to keep things nice and simple

using an action

camera and you want crispy audio and you

want to get that camera away from you

how does the audio sound SD sign in the

background represent we are here in San

Diego of course but this is what it

looks like and this is what it sounds

like if you're just going to walk and

Vlog with a wireless system definitely

going to have a lot better audio

compared to the onboard audio here so

how does the audio sound testing 1 two 3

4 5 this is the audio coming from the

DJI Mike mini hooked up via Bluetooth

with the doggy right here hooked up VI a

Bluetooth to the DJI action 5 how does

the audio sound we are on the

boardwalk over in the Harbor Marina

District over in San Diego downtown and

with my son I'm going to actually mount

it to the B botom of his helmet one on

her chest right

there I'm going slow wa this is so

fast now one thing I didn't notice on

the Mike mini which I actually really

like is that they did change how you

sink it

now on the mic 2os you'll normally have

to press and hold to get a green light

for you to sink it to the actual

receiver and then if you're going

Bluetooth you have to press and hold it

wait for the blue light now when you

sync it up which I like press and hold

the linking button on the mic mini press

and hold the linking button on the

receiver and it'll automatically switch

between the Bluetooth and the standard

connection

so that you don't have to pick one of

the other it will automatically find it

so once you have linking turned on on

both of the uh devices then they'll find

each other and I really like that

because then it takes out the guess

workor of how to link them up so that's

something I noticed on the mic mini that

I hope they bring over to the DJI mic 2

on one side of the mic we do have the

power button as well as the linking

button and on the other side we have the

light indicator LED light indicator

letting you know what mode you are in

you do not have a USBC Port here on the

mic mini like we do on the mic 2 the

USBC port on the mic 2 you're able to do

things like firmware updates on the

actual mic itself also if you wanted to

download your audio from the DJ mic to

to something like your laptop you're

able to do that through that Port the

one thing here on the DJI mik mini is

that you do not have any onboard storage

that's definitely one of the biggest

advantages of the DJI mic 2 is that you

do have internal recording uh storage

here so you could basically just use

this as a standalone mic you actually

don't need a receiver it doesn't need to

be hooked up anything you can actually

just turn it on hit record and now you

can record all of your audio directly to

the microphone now not only is that

internal recording option on the DJ Mike

2 really nice to have but that also

gives you the ability to have 32-bit

float on the DJ mic 2 something we do

not have here on the DJI mic mini now

even though we don't have 32 bit flow on

the Mike mini they did add in that

automatic limiting feature here to

prevent the clipping another feature

that the DJI Mike mini has is the

automatic clipping control which means

if I were to yell really really loud or

talk really really loud into the

microphone ideally you'll probably hear

some clipping right now it actually is

set to off now I'm going to turn

automatic clipping on and see how much

of a difference there is and just like

that in the settings turn the automatic

clipping on now let's do that test one

more time testing 1 2 3 testing 1 2 3

how does the audio sound I am pretty

much yelling into the microphone and is

there any clipping compared to when it

was off a nice feature that they brought

over from the DJI Mike 2 is that we also

have noise cancelling on the DJI mik

mini all right so let's see how it

sounds right now there's noise

cancelling is just off so this is what

it sounds like I'm going to crack these

windows just so you have a little bit of

that wind noise coming into the car and

right now noise cancelling is off we are

in basic mode right now so let me switch

it over to noise cancelling on

all right noise cancelling is on and

this is noise cancelling in basic mode

so how much difference was there uh from

having noise canceling off to right now

this is noise cancelling in basic mode

now in order for you to change the

setting you just have to hook up the

receiver to the phone and you're able to

go to the settings on the receiver and

change it from basic to strong so right

now this is what the audio sounds like

without any noise cancelling got my

windows cracked open here but I did

switch it over to the strong noise

cancelling settings so let's see how

this sounds all right we switched it on

to noise cancelling is on but is set to

strong so how much of a difference is

there between the two between having the

noise cancelling off between having it

on the basic mode and now here we have

noise cancelling on strong I have noise

cancelling turned off at the moment and

now I'm going to turn on noise

cancelling right now there you go we

have noise cancelling on the yellow

light is on here on the side how does

the audio sound with noise cancelling

busy road right next to me let me turn

it back

off noise cancelling set to off how does

the audio sound this is the DJI Mike

mini hooked up to the iPhone 15 with the

receiver plugged into the bottom the

runtime on the mik mini a single

transmitter can go for about 11 1/2

hours compared to the DJI mic 2

transmitter this has a runtime of about

6 hours the one thing that's nice is

that when you drop your mics into this

case it'll actually charge it back up

and when you charge it back up you're

able to now get up to 48 hours of

runtime when you charge it up with the

case when you charge your mics with a

case you can get about 18 hours of

runtime after charging it through this

case the one thing you will notice here

on the DJI Mike Mini case is that we are

able to now keep the cord here at the

very top if you were to put on a wind

muff here on the very top all you have

to do is press this on the back and then

onto the top once you have the the wind

muff on here you can now put it back

into the case and close it up and you

can transport it with the wind muff on

to the mic I know may sound pretty silly

but if you had the DJI mic too and you

pop it on like that and if you wanted to

drop it in here you are not able to

close the case up now when this kit does

come the two transmitters as well as one

receiver and the one receiver also has a

USBC now the case does not come with a

lightning cas C it only comes with a

USBC however you are able to purchase a

lightning cable if you have the older

iPhones and you have a little slot here

to put it at the very top now comparing

this receiver to the DJI Mike 2 receiver

of course smaller we don't have a screen

here on the front of this one it showing

us any of the menus the only thing we

really have on the mic mini receiver is

the ability to adjust the gain from zero

to POS 6 to 12 as well as -6 -12 so this

is how the audio is set at zero how does

the audio sound as far as volume goes

testing 1 2 3 4 5 this is the gain set

to zero let's switch it now to -12 going

down to -12 right now testing 1 2 3 4 5

how does the audio sound this is the

gain set to -12 how does the audio sound

testing 1 2 3 4 5 and let's go to -6

this is the gain set to -6 how does the

audio sound testing 1 2 3 4 5 testing 1

2 3 4 five let's go all the way up to

positive 6 all right this is the gain

set to positive 6 how does the audio

sound testing 1 2 345 testing 1 2 3 4 5

and let's push it all the way up to gain

at 12 testing 1 2 3 4 5 how does the

audio sound with the gain on the DJI

Mike mini receiver set to 12 how does

the audio sound testing 1 2 3 4 5 on the

very top we have one and two lit up here

to show you which one is connected to

the receiver on this side we have the

link Button as well as 3.5 to hook up to

your camera so if you wanted to hook up

the receiver directly to your camera

you're able to do that we have a builtin

cold shoe here at the very bottom which

is also a clip on this side we have the

power button and on the back we do have

the uh connectors for you to charge it

up as well as hook up the USBC one thing

I was really hoping would work but

unfortunately it does not this is the

adapter for your Sony camera

unfortunately the adapter size is larger

than the size here on the very back so

this does not slide in to the mik mini

now when it comes out to compatibility

with some of the other DJI products

what's really good is that they will

work with the DJI pocket 3 and if you do

have the two mic mini combo you can hook

up both mics to the pocket 3 as well as

the new DJI action 5 Pro this one does

accept two different mics the action 4

it will work with the wireless mic as

well except the action 4 only accepts

One microphone hookup and then if you

have something like the DJI action 3

this doesn't have the wireless linking

however you are able to then plug in

USBC to the side of the action three and

you can actually use this now as your

wireless system just like that now if

you didn't have any of these products

but you still wanted to have better

audio with your phone you are able to

connect your DJI Mike mini to your phone

via Bluetooth now the only downside of

hooking up Bluetooth to your phone is

actually the same issue we had here with

the DJI Mike 2 is that you're not able

to directly hook it up to the native

video photo app that you have on

something like this iPhone 15 however

you can download other thirdparty apps

like the Black Magic app and that's

actually a free app to use and when you

download that app you can hook up the

DJI mic via Bluetooth to that app all

right the one thing that's pretty cool

with the DJI mic mini is that you are

able to hook up the mic by itself to

your iPhone right I have it hooked up

right now to the iPhone 15 and I don't

have the receiver hooked up to it so

this is hooked up directly via Bluetooth

now of course this is the receiver here

you are able to hook it up with the

receiver you'll get better quality as

well as better reception but if you just

have the mic by itself you are able to

hook it up straight through Bluetooth

and this is really cool because you

don't necessarily have to have the

receiver on it you can just use the mic

by itself hook it up via Bluetooth and

how does the audio sound let me actually

move back a little bit further I'm going

to have my back to the camera so you

might not be be uh it might have the

best reception but once I go line of

sight like this ideally the reception

should be really good and the reason why

I'm shooting right next to the street is

because I want to see if the noise

cancelling works now there is noise

cancelling on the mini mic or mic mini

all you have to do is press the power

button just like that and then the

yellow light will turn on on the side

and this is with the noise canceling off

I'm not 100% sure if it works with just

the Bluetooth alone so how does the

audio sound

next to we busy road here in San Diego

testing 1 2 3 4 5 how does the audio

sound this is with the noise cancelling

on now let me turn it

off and this is with the noise

cancelling off now overall my thoughts

on the DJI Mike mini I am super

impressed with the quality you're

getting for this tiny little size and

not just that the tiny little price if

you wanted to buy just the transmitter

by itself this comes in at only

$59 and like I said if you have the

action 4 action 5 pocket 3 or just your

phone and you wanted to hook it up via

something like a third party app like

the Blackmagic app you are now able to

hook up this microphone to all of those

devices then if you want to step it up

and have even better audio you're going

to want to pick up the receiver and this

receiver combo with the transmitter

comes in at $89 of course you will need

the receiver if you're planning on using

your microphone setup with your camera

like I said this is just a cold shoe

you're going to hook up your 3.5 cable

here on the side to the camera and now

you're able to use your mic with

something like this the Sony A7 S3 and

for $169 you're able to get this right

here which is the full setup the two

transmitters one receiver comes with the

case all the accessories and of course

you can charge it in this case so you're

able to get a lot more runtime with this

package they are going to be selling the

case separately for about $49 but if you

are going to get it you might as well

get this whole thing for1 169 I think

one of the biggest advantages of the DJI

Mike mini will be when using it with

something like these cameras right here

I think having that smaller footprint

and also having just crispy audio and

keeping everything kind of more compack

for the price of only 59 bucks

definitely the DJI Mike mini though

packs a punch has a ton of features and

you guys tell me how was the audio

quality coming through as always if you

guys got some value from this video a

big like would be much appreciated this

is ultra sasio with flight path.com I'll

see you in the next one take care
