Brilliant, but…actually, there’s no real “but”.
As an audiophile who needed something “quick and reliable”, I’ve been through various wireless mic options, and none fit the bill, until the DJI Mic 2 came along…The Good:Bluetooth! Yes, the mics can be “standalone” connected to your bluetooth device. This is utterly brilliant. Is it perfect? No. Is it perfect for the run & gun scenario, filming something for social media? You bet. This includes connectivity to the iPhone’s bluetooth, as it can be connected to the DJI Oslo’s, the Insta 360 X3, etc. This feature puts DJI above the competition - at least for me.32-bit float: In the ever competitive race with Rode, DJI has now caught up and introduced 32-bit float recording. Is this important for you? That solely depends on your use-case scenarios and whether you’ll be in a reasonably controlled space and/or if the “wearer” understands that sceaming into a microphone will make the sound unusable. 32-bit float is not 100% fail-proof, but it may be the deciding factor between unusable, clipped audio, and audio you can recover in post editing.Size: The size of the DJI, when compared to its appropriate competition, is FAR more desirable. It’s small and compact, relatively inconspicuous, except…did we really have to emboss the DJI logo in brilliant white? C’mon now. That’s a bit much. Although, it’s a solvable issue.The Receiver: The features of the receiving unit, with its jog-dial and touchscreen, is definitely advantageous over the competition, and the included connectors for lightning or USB-C devices, neatly stored inside the transport case, are a great touch. The cold-shoe is now integrated into the receiver and very sturdy. It can be mounted in any direction, giving you visual access to the very legible display. Best yet, the receiver has a small and removable tab, allowing you to connect the supplied dongles. Smart design and well integrated.The Transmitters (mics): Sleek and small. Unfortunately, from the original DJI mic to the Mic 2, DJI desired to become “transparent” and apply the DJI logo in, recessed, font. Well done for the DJI engineering team, but you need to talk with the design and brand team, and have a little jousting battle. I’m rooting for you, engineers. For those who do not want to advertise for DJI, after plopping $349 into their bank account, a bit of gaffer tape will resolve the issue, and improve the looks of the unit. I have not yet tested whether that affects the range, but in case it does, a black marker will neatly cover up the white font.The transmitters do have an option to connect a wired lavalier mic, however, it cannot be screwed in. To me, that’s a non-issue. Unfortunately, the lav mics are a separate purchase, and not all lav mics perform the same. Thus, some testing will be required.The dead-cat/windmuff: DJI was really thinking on their design-feet, and the dead-cat now has an “appendage” which allows it to “mate” with the microphone, creating a solid bond. None of the twist-and-turn action as in prior designs or with the competition. Just go deep into your juvenile fun-cave and bring those two lovebirds together. Voila. Solved.One small contention, though: why is the dead-cat not in the same color as the transmitter (black) but off-gray?! Makes zero sense to me, and no, there’s no way that I have found to change the color. Maybe this will be an aftermarket solution.The transport case: metal housing, a single USB-C connector (more in a sec), a singular carrying pouch with accessories. It’s all well designed and appears to be quite durable. The case recharges both transmitters and the receiver, although I have not yet run into a situation where I’m out of battery on any of the units. Your mileage may vary, and the recharging power is not as strong as Rode’s Wireless Pro. Also, you cannot place the mics into the transport case when the dead-cat is mounted, which was possible on the Rode Wireless Pro. However, opposing to Rode, you have one neat carrying case, and the dead-cats live in there. It’s a minor issue.The “meh”:The sound quality lacks a bit in saturation and “fullness”, when compared to the Rode Wireless Pro. However, this can be fixed in post editing by EQ’ing to your liking. At the same time, this usually only stands out in a side-by-side comparison. Thus, if the listener doesn’t have their ear tuned to comparatives, I suspect that no one would decry the slight lack of bass.Will the metal transport case be affected by moisture, or extreme cold? Only time will tell, and chances that anyone is using the DJI Mic 2 on harsh environments, for long enough, is likely questionable to begin with.The ugly:Nothing. At least not yet.Is it pro grade?No, it is not. It’s upper-level, high-end, YouTube production worthy. Would I recommend this for a feature documentary movie, intended to enter film festivals? Nope. But, I’d say the same for the Rode Wireless Pro. That’s not the use-case for any of these solutions. Can you make do in a pinch and then post-process to compliance? Yes, but it’s still not a “Hollywood” solution for a full film. Then again, there aren’t many of us who do that, so with that being said….Would I recommend and buy the DJI Mic 2 again? Yes. Absolutely.

Better than expected!
Wow, this is so much better than my Rode Go. The best feature is that you can record directly into the transmitter and it records. Then you can plug that into your computer and take the files off for editing. The quality is much better than I expected too! My first recordings were outside and inside, with wind or with potential echo - and the recordings came out clear without issue. I am amazed and very glad I got this.What they say it cannot do is connect to my GoPro 12, so I haven't even tried to do that yet. I do not plan to buy the Osmo Action just for the instant connectivity because I already have GoPro batteries and stuff. But that is an amazing feature I hope will someday work with GoPro also.I think I will learn a lot with this because it invites me to raise my audio editing to a more complex level.

32 Bits florantes :) es impresionante...
simplemente increible por su precio con una calidad practicamente profesional y 32Bits flotantes con grabacion interna y otras funsiones que de seguro te gustaran, comprar este equipo es ir a la fija sin rodeos y con la seguridad de que no te dejara abandonado.

This is surely a nice piece of gear for my needs that works seamlessly with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It's fairly simple to figure out how to use especially with all the videos on youtube. The sound quality is just right and saves me time from having to add eq, compression and limiting in post editing. I wont get into everything I love about it but I will say that I thought there was an app that adds additional functionality... I can't find an app anywhere. I have seen videos of people using the app but I cant find a single download. So I took 1 star. Aside from that, this mic is amazing and Im happy I have it!

Perfecto
Que más decirles? Se conecta solo a la camara, es chico, el iman parece que atrae el centro de la tierra. Y encima viene con una funda
