DJI Mic 2 + Sony Adapter: Lavalier Boosts Audio?

Is the DJI Mic 2’s audio too low when using the Sony digital adapter? In this video, I address the common criticism of low audio levels when pairing the DJI Mic 2 wireless microphone system with Sony cameras, specifically the Sony A7C.

Many users, including myself in a previous video, have noticed that the audio output is significantly lower than expected, requiring substantial gain adjustments. In response to a subscriber’s request, I’ve conducted a thorough test using a lavalier microphone connected to the DJI Mic 2 transmitters.

This test focuses on whether using a lavalier microphone can effectively solve the low audio level issue. I tested the setup with both the Sony A7C and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, providing a comprehensive look at the audio performance.

Here’s what you’ll find in this video:

  • Testing the DJI Mic 2 with the Sony digital adapter and a lavalier microphone.
  • Comparing audio levels with and without the lavalier mic.
  • Real-world audio tests using the Sony A7C.
  • Testing the same lav mic setup with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
  • Analysis of audio quality and gain requirements.
  • Addressing the low audio criticism and providing potential solutions.
  • Comparing this test to my previous test that showed low levels.

If you’re experiencing low audio levels with your DJI Mic 2 and Sony camera setup, this video is for you! Discover if a lavalier microphone can be the solution you’ve been searching for.

“Fast Car” Cover Fail? Why Country Twang Isn’t Enough

This clip is a leftover from the Spicy’s Bar review – I liked the conversation with Ben about “Fast Car” and cover songs in general, so I am sharing it.

I feel like the cover version simply added a country twang without really bringing anything new or unique to the table. In my opinion, a truly great cover song should take the original material and reimagine it, showcasing the artist’s own style and talent.

Is simply changing the genre enough? Or should a cover artist strive to add their own creative spin?

Let me know what you think in the comments! Do you agree? Disagree? What are some of your favorite cover songs that truly made the original their own?
