It’s also a fine choice for more experienced creators who need a tiny microphone.

DJI Mic Mini review: Design
The Mic Mini is absolutelytiny.
Each square TX unit weighs only 0.35 ounces and measures just over an inch squared.
Theres a clip on each TX for attaching to clothing, and magnetic fasteners for discrete attachment under clothing.

The magnet is also quite small and was easy to displace.
The RX unit has a connection button, a power button and a gain dial, and thats it.
The TX units have power and connection buttons.

Its only real adjustable features are gain, mono/stereo recording and noise cancellation.
Youll then have access to TX prefs as you would via an RX unit.
For smartphones and other action cameras, the TX units pair viaBluetooth.

DJI Mic Mini review: Audio quality
Now, onto the most important bit.
The Mic Minis audio quality is very respectable given its price.
They also reduce intrusive plosive popping sounds versus unidirectional mics, making them better for primarily vocal-based recording.
I tested the mic while playing a coffee shop white noise track to simulate a busy cafe.
In the video below, you might hear the audio with noise cancellation off.
The background cafe white noise is much more distracting, although my voice sounds richer.
The higher level of noise cancellation is intended for noisier outdoor environments, and works effectively.
In contrast, the clip below is shot next to the freeway but with noise cancellation off.
The same was true for the DJI Mic 2.
The Mic Mini does not record 32-bit float, although features a Safety track that adjusts gain by -6dB.
That said, the Mic Mini did a very respectable job in the audio clip below.
Each transmitter takes 90 minutes to charge via USB-C. That said, for such a tiny mic, the DJI Mic Mini packs quite the punch.
