DJI – Mic Mini Wireless Omnidirectional Microphone System

Works great and very discreet. Bought the lightning adapter to use with iPhone and the receiver isn’t bulky either. Sound is great no matter where you’re standing. Glad I got the mini package so you don’t have to buy everything separately if you intend to use with other devices. Made a case that holds all my travel camera gear together.

The best thing about the DJI Mic Mini microphone kit is how small the microphone transmitters are. The kit includes 2 and they are tiny and weigh nearly nothing. The mics come with a clip-on and a strong magnet and you can use either to attach it to your clothing. They are about a third of the weight of the DJI Mic 2’s. I can wear one on my shirt for multiple hours and easily forget that it’s there. The size makes it less noticeable to your viewers as well.
If you have used DJI’s Mic or Mic 2 models you will notice the receiver itself is also smaller, which is great, but it means that some features had to be sacrificed, namely the LCD screen that lets you monitor input levels. There is a dial that allows a +/- 12dB level adjustment but you will probably want to do a quick test recording just to make sure the sound levels are where you want them to be as Mini is not capable of recording internal audio.
The charging case has a spot for each transmitter, the receiver, and two adapters (only one for USB-C is included). Also included are two pairs of windscreens and a soft carrying case for everything. The receiver will fit into the case with the USB-C or Lightning adapter attached and even the mics can be put into the case with windscreens attached, which is really convenient. The case will charge the two mics and the receiver all at the same time and includes a USB-C port on the back to charge itself. The case features a button to unlock it which lessens the chance of it opening unintentionally.
Setup couldn’t be any easier. The receiver attaches directly to a smartphone (or laptop) with the USB-C adapter that’s included. Older iPhones will need a Lightning adapter that unfortunately requires a separate purchase. You can also connect the receiver directly to a DSLR or mirrorless camera with the included 3.5mm TSX cable. The mics automatically pair to the receiver when they are placed in the case so on both my iPhone 15 Pro and Sony camera simply connecting the receiver and pressing record was all I needed to do. The only downside is the receiver does stick out awkwardly from the bottom of your phone. However, the receiver does have a USB-C port of its own and therefore allows passthrough charging to your phone. I was not able to get it to do passthrough recording to my portable SSD though.
The performance is outstanding. I was able to get clear audio from both mics and was impressed with the automatic noise cancellation when I tested it with some fake airplane noises. While I could still hear the noise in the background it was faint, and my voice remained prominent and clear. There is a yellow LED on the mics that signals noise cancellation is enabled. You can tap the power button to toggle it on or off but note it will do it on both mics simultaneously. There are two levels of noise cancellation that can be set in the DJI Mimo app: Basic or Strong. In addition, the mics feature automatic limiting that prevents audio clipping so if you yell into the mic it should not distort. This can also be disabled in the app. I found the range from the mics to the transmitters to be very good, even indoors. There are other settings that can be adjusted in the Mimo app besides noise cancelling but for the most part the app is not needed in normal use.
While everything has been positive so far, I did run into a few quirks with the Bluetooth connectivity and iOS. First, you can only update the firmware on iOS with Bluetooth, including the receiver. Android does not have this limitation.
Secondly, while you can pair the microphones directly to your phone with Bluetooth and record audio without the receiver, I found that success in this mode will largely depends on the app you are using. The Voice Memo app used the Mic Mini as expected but the default Camera app did not. Even the more advanced Final Cut Camera app for iOS did not work. That app gives you the ability to change audio devices but the DJI Mic Mini was not available. Connecting the receiver allowed me to switch between the DJI Mic Mini and the Internal microphone in the Final Cut app as expected. I’m pretty sure both issues are limitations of iOS and not shortcomings of the product but thought I’d mention that it’s best to just use the receiver. You’ll get the best audio anyway over Bluetooth.
Pros:
– Includes 2 Tiny Mics w/ Clip-on and Magnet attachments.
– Charging Case charges transmitter and receivers
– Active Noise Cancelling Built-in
– Bluetooth, USB-C or 3.5mm Wired Camera Connection
– Passthrough USB-C Charging
– Includes soft carrying case for charging case and accessories
– Comes with 4 Windscreens
– 400m of Range (unobstructed)
– Syncs Directly with DJI’s Osmo Products
– Excellent Battery Life
Cons:
– Quirks with Bluetooth and iPhone
– Receiver sticks out awkwardly on phones
– Does not record audio on its own
Overall – these are great for content creators who are looking for lightweight, discreet microphones that just work out of the box-as long as you use the receiver.

Wonderful mics love them, had the pleasure of vlogging in colorado with the family with the dji mini mics & i was merly astonished! Very crispy

The DJI Mic Mini is a really great compact microphone system that sounds great and is super versatile and easy to use with a variety of devices wired and wireless.
You get 2 microphones, which are very small and light. They can attach via an integrated clip or with a small magnet and they don’t pull my shirt down while I’m wearing them. There are also 2 different colored windscreens included that clip onto the top of the microphones.
The receiver is a little bulkier and can connect to a phone over Bluetooth or via the included USB-C adapter. It can also connect to a camera with a TRS cable, which is also included. Having it connected to my phone made it a little unwieldy to use, but it was mostly manageable. The receiver has a gain adjustment knob and a couple of buttons for power and pairing. The microphones are automatically paired to the receiver out of the box.
All of the parts in the system store and charge in the included charging case and DJI also includes a nice little pouch to keep the charging case in with the cables. The case charges via USB-C and a charging cable is included, but no wall adapter.
The audio quality with the mics while recording videos is so much better than what I can get from my phone and requires very little input from me. Noise cancelling does a good job of cutting out background noise without degrading my voice.
I have not been able to run the batteries down on these yet as I’m usually recording in short bursts, but the stated battery life is 10+ hours on both the microphones and the receiver and the battery in the case will provide a total of 48 hours of operation, which is more than enough for any scenario I can think of.
Overall I’m really happy with these microphones. I think audio is an often overlooked component of videos and these offer a really simple and easy way to improve your audio.
