DJI Launches the Mic Mini

DJI has officially launched its latest innovation in wireless audio technology—the Mic Mini, a compact addition to its acclaimed wireless lavalier mic series. Don’t confuse it with the Mac mini; this powerhouse is designed specifically for creators on the go, featuring a sleek design that packs a punch with improved features and enhanced battery life.

Compact and Discreet Design

The Mic Mini set includes two lightweight wireless transmitters, each easily attachable to clothing via a secure magnetic or clip-on method. The intent behind this minimalist design is not only to reduce bulk but also to ensure the microphone remains discreet, allowing users to focus on their content without drawing unnecessary attention. To combat wind noise during outdoor shoots, the set also includes specially designed windscreens.

Versatile Connectivity

For connectivity, the wireless receiver unit is versatile, compatible with a wide range of devices—including cameras, smartphones, tablets, and computers—thanks to its dual USB-C and 3.5mm TRS connectors. A standout feature enables you to charge both the transmitter and your smartphone simultaneously while recording. Extremely handy for those extended shooting sessions!

Advanced Noise Cancellation

But what truly sets the Mic Mini apart is its advanced noise cancellation capabilities. Users can choose between two levels of noise reduction: Basic for quieter indoor environments or Strong mode for dealing with the hustle and bustle of the outdoors. Moreover, an automatic limiting feature helps prevent audio clipping—a game-changer for high-energy recordings. It even records a safety track simultaneously, ensuring that a quieter version of your audio is available in case the main track peaks too high.

Dual Transmitter Capability

The receiver can accommodate two transmitters at once, enabling users to record two individual audio tracks or blend them into a single track—either in mono or stereo mode. The adjustable gain control dial provides five levels of sound optimization, allowing for personalized audio management.

Convenient Charging Case

Included in the standard kit is a convenient charging case that can recharge both transmitters along with the receiver a remarkable 3.6 times, delivering up to 48 hours of continuous use! Each transmitter boasts an impressive battery life of 11.5 hours, while the receiver itself runs for 10.5 hours on a full charge. Need a quick top-up? A mere five minutes of charging grants about an hour of operation!

Additional transmitters can be purchased for $59 each, perfect for content creators wanting to enhance their setup. For those using devices with a Lightning connector, an adapter is available for $19.
