For anyone that regularly is producing short form video across all the big apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, there are some small tweaks you can make to your format to help elevate your content. Something a lot of folks just getting started tend to ignore for too long is audio. When you shoot your videos just using the on-board mic for your iPhone or Android smartphone, it is extremely noticeable. The person on screen sounds far away. If they are inside, there is a distinct echo. If they are outside, you get the sound of wind, crowds, or other environmental noises. The best way to improve the quality of your videos is by focusing more on your audio, and you can do so with the help of the DJI Mic Mini.
DJI has a bundle that comes with two of its transmitter microphones, a receiver, as well as a charging case that can hold all three. Typically, this set sells for $99, but for a limited time, you can score the pack for good 20% off. That ends up taking the price down by $20 to just $79 for a limited time.
What creators find attractive about mics like the DJI Mic Mini is that they are low profile with easy setup. Each microphone only weighs in at approximately 10 grams. They have a built-in clip which can be adhered to your shirt, the end of your cap, or on a necklace lanyard. It’ll stay there securely in place for the full time you are shooting.
Using a DJI Mic Mini over just your phone’s audio opens up a lot more flexibility in the type of content you shoot. For starters, each microphone can wirelessly transmit its sound to the receiver up to 400 meters away. You can stand the full length of one lap around around a track, only appearing as a tiny spec on camera, and yet still have your audio picked up crystal clear.
Noise Cancellation
When recording in crowded spaces like an expo hall during a convention, you’re going to get a lot of background noise with the sounds of people chatting and moving around the concrete floors. The DJI Mic Mini can address this. The microphones support two different modes of noise cancellation. The basic setting is good for every day use, while strong mode is designed to take on loud noises. That setting is great for outdoor spaces as well as highly trafficked indoor areas like you’d find at a convention center during a con.
