Here's everything you need to know about DJI's microphone range.

DJI mic range There are two main microphone lines: Mic and Mic Mini.

The former is more pro-friendly, larger and higher specced (details vary by model, but expect superior audio quality, more adaptable noise cancelling and features like timecode and built-in storage).

The latter is more compact and lightweight — although note the main Mic models aren't exactly bulky — and an excellent entry-level choice.
