The charging case itself can display the power, and the USB-C port on the back can charge the charging case and the internal devices at the same time. The workmanship of the charging box is very exquisite, the corners and seams are in place, and the overall sense of sophistication is highlighted.

For users, they only need to carry this charging box for daily travel shooting. The weight of the whole set of equipment is very advantageous. It has a better weight advantage than similar products on the market, so it will have a better senseless effect when used.

The charging box contains the main body of the complete microphone system, no longer carrying bags of accessories as before, a box in hand, perfect radio. Inside the charging case is the main body of the wireless microphone system and the main accessories, including a dual-channel receiver, two transmitters, adapters for USB-C and Lightning interfaces, and a detachable clip (hot shoe/cold shoe adapter) for the dual-channel receiver.

The part of the dual-channel receiver is well built, with an OLED screen on the front, which can display information such as connection status and power, and the screen supports touch operation; there is a power button on the side. , USB-C port, headphone and audio port; on the back are charging contacts and mounting clips The place where the mobile phone port is connected to the accessories. The menu system can be accessed by touching the screen to adjust functions and options, which is very convenient.

This detachable clip not only allows the dual-channel receiver to be clipped where needed, but also acts as an adapter for the hot and cold shoes used by the camera, and can be used with a 3.5mm audio cable to receive sound when the camera is shooting. ? USB-C and Lightning phone interface adapter accessories can also be installed on the dual-channel receiver, so that the phone can receive sound when shooting.

Another point is that whether we use the receiver connection clip, USB-C adapter or Lightning adapter, we can put it back into the charging box directly. That is to say, we can use the charging box to store the receiver perfectly without taking off these accessories, because there is extra storage space reserved inside. The design of DJI is very user-friendly and must be praised.

DJI Mic thoughtfully equips you with two transmitters, so that you can form two channels to receive sound. The transmitter is also very small and lightweight, and its presence is not felt when it is placed on the body for radio. If it is used outdoors, it can be matched with the windproof cover that comes with it. The side of the transmitter is designed with power button, USB-C interface, pairing button, mute button, microphone and 3.5mm audio port, and the bottom is equipped with charging contact. The transmitter comes with 8GB of storage, so it can also store the radio content we need independently, such as in interviews or recordings.

The clip of the transmitter is designed on the back, and the clip is made of metal, which can be magnetically attracted. When we use it, we can use the clip to clip the transmitter to the place where it is needed for radio, or we can use the magnetic accessories to attach the magnetic accessories to the clothes and other items and clips, so that the transmitter can be placed in more places where it can not be clipped, which is very thoughtful and practical. Of course, there are also precautions to use this magnetic accessory to install the transmitter. If the clothes are very thick (such as sweaters, down jackets) or do strenuous exercise (such as jumping, running, etc.), it is not recommended to use the magnetic connection method, which will cause the transmitter to fall off and be damaged.

As mentioned above, DJI Mic's dual-channel receiver can not only achieve dual-channel radio, but also design a 3.5mm headphone interface, so that we can monitor in real time during the radio process.

This feature is especially useful when using mobile phones to shoot radio. We all know that most of today's mobile phones have eliminated the 3.5mm audio port, so we can't monitor synchronously when we are listening. Therefore, DJI Mic has designed a headphone hole for us, which allows us to monitor in real time and avoid mistakes and losses in the radio process. After entering the menu of the receiving end by touching the screen, you can adjust the volume and other functions, which is very convenient.

In addition, the top of the mobile phone interface adapter of the dual-channel receiver has a margin design, so even if we use a heavy mobile phone shell, we can directly insert the dual-channel receiver into the mobile phone interface, and it is very firm, so we don't have to worry about loosening or falling off during shooting.

An audio port is also designed on the transmitter. Because the transmitter itself can receive sound, such as the sound of our speech, the sound of the live environment, etc., it can also input the sound of other audio signal sources through this 3.5mm audio port for synchronous reception, such as the sound of human voice and musical instruments at the same time.

Radio quality test: the effect is real and natural, and the use is wide

Now, let's start the test session. The first test is the quality of the radio. We use a transmitter placed in front of the speaker to play different types of audio, and you can watch the video to feel the radio quality of DJI Mic.

As you can hear in the video, the DJI Mic's radio quality is very good. The whole process of radio is very clear, and the reduction of sound is very real and natural, without obvious compression. The process we listen to is like listening to the audio played by the speaker on the spot, which is very immersive. Therefore, we use DJI Mic to record live recordings, instrumental performances and other purposes are very appropriate, while dubbing, interviews and other vocal recordings also have excellent results.

Radio distance test: long-distance radio is stable and strong in anti-interference.

Next, we will test the radio distance of DJI Mic. The official data of DJI Mic is that it can achieve wireless radio capability up to 250 meters. Let's take a look at the performance of DJI Mic's radio capability and anti-interference capability in long-distance use through actual tests.

Due to the limitation of the venue, we can not directly test the radio distance of 250 meters, but the actual test distance has exceeded the length of 100 meters. We used a magnetic fitting to attach the DJI Mic's transmitter to our clothes, and then gradually walked backwards away from the DJI Mic's dual-channel receiver, while we continued to listen to the human voice. From our test video, we can hear that the quality of the radio has remained the same throughout the process, and there is no attenuation or noise interference.

That is to say, even if we need to carry out long-distance radio and shooting work, the use of DJI Mic can easily meet everyone's needs, while ensuring the stability of the quality and anti-interference ability of long-distance wireless radio. This can expand the use of DJI Mic, and users with special distance needs can also choose it to complete the radio work.

Up to 15 hours of endurance, high-intensity radio, no pressure

DJI Mic's dual-channel receiver and both transmitters have built-in batteries for real-time power supply. At the same time, the charging box is equivalent to a mobile power supply, which only needs to put in the dual-channel receiver and two transmitters to carry out real-time wireless charging operation.

The DJI Mic transmitter lasts up to 5.5 hours, the dual-channel receiver lasts up to 5 hours, and both the transmitter and the dual-channel receiver last up to 15 hours with the charging box. That is to say, when we shoot at high intensity, we don't have to worry about the problem of electricity. If the intensity of the radio is very low at ordinary times, but it is used continuously every day, basically we can charge the charging box once and use it for several days.

Video blogger, media creator, sincerely recommend DJI Mic

DJI Mic is DJI's first dual-channel wireless microphone system, but it can be seen that it is a very mature product, so DJI must have carried out in-depth research and development and iteration before launching DJI Mic. DJI Mic is a compact, lightweight, powerful wireless radio system that can handle a wide variety of scenarios, whether shooting video or conducting interviews, DJI Mic can easily do it. In addition, DJI Mic can be matched with a variety of shooting equipment, such as the newly released DJI Action 2 action camera, our common mobile phones, cameras, video cameras and other equipment, so only need to buy a set of DJI Mic, a variety of shooting equipment at home can solve the problem of radio at the same time.
