DJI Mic Mini makes wireless microphones look even better

Tiny in size, the newly launched DJI Mic Mini certainly lives up to its name, providing a small wireless microphone option for creators.

A single microphone weighs only 10 grams, even smaller than the impressive 28-gram DJI Mic 2. As good as many of the existing wireless clip-on mics are, they can still look a bit messy on clothing, something the DJI Mic Mini tackles.

It’s also a far more affordable wireless microphone than the current crop of premium devices. For $245, you get two transmitters, a receiver, a charging case and various accessories. Contrast that with the $529 price tag for the equivalent DJI Mic 2 bundle and it’s immediately more attractive to hobbyists and early-career creative pros.

The DJI Mic Mini goes head-to-head with the new Rode Wireless Micro, priced at $249 for its similarly-sized 12-gram mic transmitters. Both brands feature heavily throughout the creator scene, so it’s no surprise to see such tight competition.

Even with the cheaper price and smaller form factor, the DJI Mic Mini still comes pretty feature-packed. It supports multiple noise-cancellation levels, on-device gain settings, and auto-clipping prevention to help prevent audio peaking. if you’re the type to walk and talk, audio transmission works from as far as 400 metres away from the receiver.

As you’d expect, the microphone pairs seamlessly with DJI’s suite of creative gear. Without using the receiver, you can record microphone audio to the likes of the Osmo Pocket 3 and Osmo Action 4 cameras. Similarly, the petite DJI Neo drone supports streamlined connectivity via the DJI Fly app.

Available to order today from DJI’s website and various retailers, the Mic Mini also comes in a $125 version. This cheaper option doesn’t include the charging case, and includes one transmitter and receiver.

Between DJI and Rode, there are some fairly compelling wireless microphones on the market that don’t cost an exorbitant amount of cash.
