Lavalier Mic Shootout! DJI vs. Sony vs. Weishan

In this video, I put three different lavalier microphones to the test with my DJI Mic 2 wireless system! I wanted to see if upgrading from the built-in microphone was worth it, especially in different recording environments.

Here’s a breakdown of the mics I tested:

  • DJI Lavalier Microphone ($36): This mic performed consistently well both indoors and outdoors, providing clear and reliable audio.
  • Sony Stereo ECMLV1 Lavalier Microphone ($28): The Sony mic delivered fantastic audio quality, particularly in indoor settings, with a rich and detailed sound.
  • Weishan 2-Pack Lavalier Microphones ($12 – or $6 each): At just $6 each, these mics offered surprisingly decent audio. They’re a great budget option for those who need multiple mics or are just starting out.

I tested each mic in various conditions, including indoor quiet spaces, outdoor windy environments, and general speaking scenarios. I’ll share my thoughts on the sound quality, ease of use, and overall value of each microphone.

Overall, I found that using a dedicated lavalier microphone significantly improved the audio quality of my DJI Mic 2 system. If you plan on using your DJI Mic 2 for field recordings or in situations where clear audio is crucial, investing in a good lav mic is definitely worth it.

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.

“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?
