An impressive wireless audio kit for amateur and growing creators just dropped to its lowest price yet. The Mic 2 dual-transmitter set of DJI’s is $219, an all-time low for the entire kit including two mics, a receiver and charging case — a bit of creator audio that is becoming one of the smartest buys around at this price.
Dual Kit Now Available At An All-Time Low Price
This deal is for the total package: two clip-on transmitters, an on-camera receiver with a touchscreen, hot shoe mount, iPhone and iPad adapters (USB-C and Lightning), plus the pocketable charging case. At $219, it’s about $50 below the recent street price and about $130 under its initial launch MSRP of $349.
For would-be creators who want to boost their sound without cobbling together cables and preamps, this is the type of plug-and-play kit that cuts setup time and simultaneously boosts production value.
Why This Mic is Important To New Creators
An audience will forgive a shaky shot; an audience will not forgive harsh, clipping, or muffled audio. Creator analytics, after all, never lie when it comes to viewer retention, and speech they can’t clean up and put in the same vein doesn’t help matters. A trustworthy, good working wireless system does more than just clean up your rig — it helps stabilize your sound and therefore, watch time.
It would be ideally frictionless, and that’s the viewpoint being taken with Mic 2. Each of the transmitters clip or magnetically pin to clothing, the receiver locks on a camera shoe, and phone adapters bundled in the box make transitioning from mirrorless to smartphones as simple as swapping connectors. No XLR boxes, no mess of lav cables, no guesswork.
Tech Specs That Can Save Your Shots in the Wild
The headline feature is 32-bit float internal recording. It records a super-wide dynamic range inside each transmitter, which you’ll appreciate in post when you have enough headroom to ease those unexpected laughter bursts, screams, or traffic passes that usually blow up. Put on conservative levels, and rock ’n’ roll — your edit suite does the rest.
Wireless works well for that run-and-gun. DJI claims it flies up to 820 ft (250 m) away in open line-of-sight before losing that picture, which is more than enough for interviews, talking-head walk-and-talks and wedding coverage. In various urban settings, you can generally count on strong connections that travel reasonable distances and are lag-free.
Battery life is about six hours per transmitter, with the charging case increasing total runtime to about 18 hours. And that will get you through a full day of mixed shoots without searching for outlets. Add a snap-on magnetic windscreen that’s faster to deploy and handles gusts better than your improvised foam.
Gain tweaks, mono/stereo routing, and noise reduction are easy to negotiate on the fly via the receiver’s touchscreen. A second redundant recording — wirelessly to your camera or phone as well as onboard capture in each transmitter — is an added layer of protection the pros swear by.
How It Compares to Rivals in the Creator Audio Market
At this price, the Mic 2 falls into a sweet spot. Rode’s Wireless Pro has some deep pro features, like timecode, it supports 32-bit float internal recording and, to be honest — the asking price of $399 for these is usually more in line with what one would expect. Most people love the Rode Wireless Go II and it can dip down near this price, but it doesn’t have 32-bit float and depends more on careful gain staging. Hollyland’s Lark M2, on the other hand, is super small and comes with a smaller price tag, but lacks some of the Mic 2’s redundancy and interface gloss.
DJI’s latest wireless systems have received rave reviews from independent test labs and pro reviewers, both for stable links and intuitive UI, as well as the implementation of magnets and accessories. It also comes with a charging case and mobile adapters in the box for two levels of appealing value out of its claimed $219 pricing.
Should You Buy the DJI Mic 2 Now, or Wait for Later?
If you’re starting a YouTube channel, filming vertical videos, shooting on-location interviews, or recording ceremonies — this is a no-brainer.
You’ll spend less time wrestling levels and more using your audio to create, with sound quality that reliably sounds professional across cameras and phones.
Power users who require timecode sync, or have niche workflows, may want to consider more costly alternatives or the latest-generation models. But for nearly all creators, especially those stepping up from built-in mics or budget lavs, the Mic 2 at its record-low price offers an unusual mix of quality, redundancy and convenience.
Availability might be different by region, and prices also fluctuate on popular creator gear. If the only thing between you and perfect-speech audio is just that, then this deal is the time to upgrade.
