For those of you out there that produce lots of short form video content, be that on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, you can dramatically elevate the quality of your work by making this one simple change. Lots of folks don’t think twice about their audio before posting and then wonder why people are swiping past their content. Well, good audio can go along way and it’s not that hard or pricy to implement. Phones on-board microphones can make you sound echoing when recording indoors, and can pick up a ton of environmental sounds while outside. You also need to be really close to get anything that sounds even remotely okay.
DJI has you covered to bring you much better audio at an affordable price. The DJI Mic Mini bundle comes with two transmitter microphones, a receiver, and the charging case and it happens to be on sale. Normally you’d find this creator kit selling for $99, but for a limited time, the price has come down by 20% at Amazon. That will leave you only having to pay $79 while the deal is still live.
These DJI microphones are super low profile and set up real easily. Each of the mics only weigh roughly 10g. They come with a clip built into them which allows you to simple attach them to your shirt’s lapel, rim of your cap, or on a lanyard around your neck. This will keep them securely in place during the extent of your shoot. I suppose you can also just hold it, pinched between your fingers which a lot of creators across social media seem to gravitate toward.
When using a DJI Mic Mini while recording video, you get a lot more flexibility in the kinds of stuff you can shoot. For starters, your subject can be far away from the camera and still retain clear audio. Each of the mic transmitters can reach the receiver from up to 400 meters away. You can be a quarter mile away from the camera lens and still sound like you are standing right next to the camera, with crystal clear sound.
Noise Cancellation
When recording in spaces with huge crowds, you’re going to experience a lot of background noise. If you’re somewhere like an expo hall during a convention, the sounds of people chattering and moving around every which way can be deafening. This is no concern for the DJI Mic Mini. These mics support two different noise cancellation modes. The basic mode works for everyday use, isolating and amplifying the voice of your speaker. The strong mode works extra hard for noisy outdoor settings or something like that expo hall example.
