It's good, but sometimes you just want things to be a little better. And while you can't do much for the visuals, the audio is another story. You can always carry a compact wireless microphone to capture better audio, which will easily elevate anything you film. It used to be pretty pricey, but the DJI Mic Mini makes it possible on a budget. Small but powerful The great thing about the Mic Mini is that it's extremely compact. This bundle includes two transmitters with microphones and a receiver that plugs into your phone's USB-C port. If your device accepts USB-C input, the Mic Mini will likely work. It's a plug-and-play device, so compatibility is strong across a wide range of products. So, don't just limit yourself to the phone and plug it into your tablet, PC, game console, and more. You can expect clear, crisp audio and transmission up to 300 meters, with 11.5 hours of total operating time. That should be enough for a full day of recording for most people. If you need more time, you'll need to remember to charge them between uses. DJI makes a charging case, but it's sold separately from this bundle. If you're in a noisy environment, these microphones also have noise-canceling abilities. There's even a setting to prevent audio clipping. For the most part, you're getting a ton of value here at this $45 price point. If you've been thinking about picking up a microphone, give this one a shot. We don't think you'll be disappointed.
