DJI Unveils Compact 'DJI Mic Mini' Wireless Microphone [Video]
Posted November 26, 2024 at 4:57pm by iClarified
DJI has unveiled a new compact 'DJI Mic Mini' wireless microphone that offers ultra-long battery life and stable high-quality audio with entry-level pricing.
Notably, the Mic Mini works in a kit with a receiver or it can connect directly to DJI devices like the Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4, and Osmo Pocket 3, as well as smartphones via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for a receiver in certain workflows.
"DJI Mic Mini packs unbelievable sound into an incredibly compact, extremely light package, bringing the high quality audio expected from DJI in a mini microphone at a modest price of $169," said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI. "Content creators can count on capturing remarkably dynamic, crystal-clear sound, no matter the environment, and will enjoy the wearability and utility of DJI Mic Mini. DJI continues to serve the wide audience of creators with the highest level of innovative tools, from providing filmmakers with Emmy-winning Inspire drone technology and the Ronin cinematography ecosystem to today's launch, bringing premium audio capture to all levels of content creators."
Light, Portable, and Easy-to-Use with Efficient Operation and Production Features
Weighing only 10g - less than half the weight of DJI Mic 2 - DJI Mic Mini is discreet and comfortable, with multiple ways to wear that won't weigh down collars or stretch-thin T-shirts, ensuring a clean on-camera appearance. Wearers can clip it on a shirt, attach it to clothing with magnets, or wear it on a lanyard.
Quality features are packed into DJI Mic Mini to help content creators make the richest, most detailed sound possible, keeping in mind post-production needs as well. With two-level noise canceling technology, content creators need not worry about recording in loud environments such as crowded halls or outdoor events. The basic is perfect for quiet indoor settings, reducing fan, air conditioning, and reverb noises while preserving vocal clarity, while the strong level cuts ambient noise and focuses on vocals in noisy settings. DJI Mic Mini's windscreens also significantly lower wind noise, providing clean sound capture in outdoor venues.
Automatic limiting lowers the volume if the audio input is too high, efficiently preventing clipping that causes distortion. Creators can also adjust the gain quickly using the dial on the receiver, cycling through five level options to control the input of the captured sound.
The innovative design of the all-in-one charging case conveniently keeps all items together, neatly storing two transmitters, one receiver, mobile phone adapters, and windscreens—making DJI Mic Mini super portable and easy to carry or store.
Capture Detail-Rich, Reliable Audio
Despite its miniature form factor, DJI Mic Mini doesn't skimp on sound quality. It features omnidirectional audio recording. The receiver can pair with two transmitters at once, making it possible to record from multiple sources without sacrificing detail. This ensures that the audio captured maintains a consistently high quality.
With dual channel recording (Mono and Stereo), creators can separate the audio from the two transmitters, or combine it into a single track, providing creative flexibility and control. The DJI Mimo App offers a safety track, recording at a volume six dB lower than the main track, providing a fail-safe for audio issues like clipping and distortion and ensuring the audio captured is usable, even if the live performance had fluctuating volumes.
Audio can be transmitted up to 400 meters, and with DJI Mic Mini's powerful anti-interference capabilities, the recording remains stable and high quality even in bustling outdoor environments like a busy street or crowded event.
For the content creator on the road capturing longer-form content like podcasts or livestreams, a fully charged DJI Mic Mini case provides 48 hours of extended use and can provide one hour of use after a quick five-minute charge. The receiver and transmitter are fully charged in approximately 100 and 90 minutes, respectively, avoiding any lengthy delays between recording sessions.
Also, the transmitter will automatically enter sleep mode when it doesn't detect a signal from the receiver, saving power and alleviating creators of the need to keep powering the mic on and off. Finally, the DJI Mimo app can be used to set an automatic power off after a designated period of time, preventing a drained battery and allowing creators to preserve more power for their creativity.
Premium Wireless Recording Thanks to OsmoAudio and Direct Connections with DJI Products and Smartphones
DJI's OsmoAudio ecosystem ensures premium sound capture, and the DJI Mic Mini transmitter can connect directly with the Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4, or Osmo Pocket 3 without a receiver, simplifying the creator workflow.
DJI Mic Mini also conveniently connects directly to smartphones via Bluetooth, no receiver required, so anyone with a smartphone can capture audio recordings with third-party filming apps.
Creators can connect the DJI Fly app to the DJI Neo drone and DJI Mic Mini via Bluetooth to record audio and overlay it with their aerial footage. The app allows creators to eliminate propeller noise, merge audio tracks with footage, and ensure excellent sound even when shooting low-altitude vlogs.
Use of DJI Mic Mini is extremely versatile, with multi-device compatibility for creators using cameras, smartphones, computers, or tablets to record content. When connected to a camera via the Camera Audio Cable (3.5mm TRS), it supports synchronized power on/off with the camera. When connected to a smartphone, it allows for external playback without unplugging and can be charged by the smartphone. When the receiver connects to a smartphone and then to a power source via the USB-C port, both devices can be simultaneously charged during use.
