DJI's small and lightweight model of the wireless microphone 'DJI Mic', the ' DJI Mic Mini ', was released on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The DJI Mic Mini is a low-priced transmitter with a price of 7,700 yen, but it is equipped with a noise-canceling function and is compatible with smartphones, making it the perfect wireless microphone for beginners who are interested in Vlogging.

The DJI Mic Mini consists of two parts: a 'transmitter' which is the microphone itself, and a 'receiver' which receives the microphone recording. It's very easy to use. First, remove the transmitter and receiver from the charging case. When you remove them from the charging case, the transmitter and receiver will automatically turn on and pair with each other.
Then, simply connect the transmitter to your smartphone or camera. To connect to a smartphone, remove the cover on the bottom of the receiver and attach the smartphone adapter (TYPE-C).
This time, I tried connecting the DJI Mic Mini receiver to an iPhone 15 Pro.
All you have to do is shoot video or record audio, and the audio from the DJI Mic Mini will be recorded.
The DJI Mic Mini's noise canceling function has two levels, 'strong' and 'basic,' which can be switched by pressing the power button on the transmitter.
The microphone volume can be adjusted by turning the dial on the receiver.
In the movie below, a circulator is turned in front of an 'iPhone 14 Pro with nothing attached' and an 'iPhone 15 Pro with DJI Mic Mini attached' to generate noise, and a sentence is read out behind the iPhone being filmed. With a standard microphone, the noise of the circulator is carried and the voice becomes distant, whereas with the DJI Mic Mini, the sound of the circulator is almost canceled and the voice can be heard clearly. At the end of the movie, the noise canceling function is switched to 'strong', and you can see that the sound of the circulator is almost gone and the voice is quite clear.
The nominal transmission distance between the transmitter and receiver is 400m. The following movie shows an iPhone recording using the DJI Mic Mini from distances of 50m, 100m, and 150m. It turns out that the voice is recorded even at a distance of 150m, and it can be used without any problems even if it is quite far from the camera. In addition, the sound of rain and crowds is canceled, and the voice can be recorded clearly even in the city.

The nominal battery life of the DJI Mic Mini is up to 11.5 hours for the transmitter and 10.5 hours for the receiver. With a fully charged charging case, it can be used for 48 hours. The transmitter and receiver can be fully charged in 90 minutes and 100 minutes, respectively. A quick 5-minute charge can also provide 1 hour of use.
The receiver is equipped with a USB-C port, and when you connect the receiver to a smartphone and connect it to a power source via the USB-C port, you can charge both the smartphone and the receiver at the same time while using the device. You can also charge the receiver from the connected smartphone.
In addition, the DJI Mic Mini also supports Bluetooth connection, so the transmitter alone can be connected to a smartphone. Press and hold the pairing button on the side of the transmitter to enter pairing mode, and although it's a little hard to see in the image, the LED indicator will light up blue.
In this state, when searching for Bluetooth devices on the smartphone, the DJI Mic Mini transmitter was detected.
However, since the iPhone's standard camera app does not allow audio selection, you cannot select the DJI Mic Mini as an audio source with the transmitter alone, but you can select the DJI Mic Mini transmitter with a third-party app. As a test, when I checked the settings screen of
Also, if you have a smartphone, you can change various settings, including noise cancellation, by connecting the DJI Mic Mini to DJI's official smartphone app '
Items that can be set other than noise canceling are as follows.
To connect the DJI Mic Mini to a camera, simply connect the receiver to the camera's microphone input with a 3.5 mm TRS camera audio cable. The clip part of the receiver is compatible with the camera's shoe mount, so it can be fixed as shown in the image below. The receiver's power is also switched on and off in sync with the camera's power.
The DJI Mic Mini is very lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around. It is also very easy to use, with no complicated settings required. In addition, the transmitter alone is a low-priced model that costs less than 10,000 yen, and it also has a noise-canceling function, so I felt that it was a good entry-level model for wireless microphones.
The DJI Mic Mini will be available for purchase from the DJI online store or certified stores such as Amazon.co.jp from Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The suggested retail price is 24,200 yen (tax included) for a set of two transmitters + one receiver + charging case, 13,200 yen (tax included) for a set of one transmitter + one receiver, 7,700 yen (tax included) for the transmitter alone, and 9,900 yen (tax included) for the transmitter charging case.
