DJI’s new Mic Mini 2 adds colorful covers to help them blend in

As with the Osmo Pocket 4 and recent Lito drones, DJI has no plans to release the Mic Mini 2 in the US, but it’s now available in most other markets. Pricing starts at €59 (around $69) for a bundle that includes a single mic transmitter, a compact USB-C wireless receiver, and a smaller charging case. There are several additional bundles available, including a €99 (around $116) option with two mic transmitters, a larger version of the wireless receiver that can be used with cameras, and a charging case large enough to accommodate them all. Obsidian black and glaze white magnetic covers are included, while 12 more colorful alternatives are sold separately.

The Mic Mini 2 transmitters are slightly larger and a gram heavier than the originals as a result of the redesign that accommodates the covers. But they’re much smaller than the Insta360 Mic Pro’s transmitters that will feature a customizable color E Ink screen. Battery life remains the same at 11.5 hours for the Mic Mini 2 with ANC turned off and 10.5 hours for the receiver, while the wireless transmission distance still maxes out at just over 1,312 feet. There’s still no redundant on-mic recording, but DJI teased a Mic Mini 2S version with that feature as part of today’s announcement that it claims will be announced this summer.
