Why trust us? | How we test
DJI just doesn't want to slow down. Mere months after launching the Mic Mini 2 (which is pretty good as I found in the review), the company has followed fast with the Mic Mini 2S.
That S in the name is all about storage. The newer model will record directly to the mic itself, which has been the biggest differentiator between DJI's Mic and Mic Mini lines.
Each transmitter now packs about 14.5GB of built in storage, enough for up to 28 hours of audio in the default 24 bit mode, and it supports 32 bit float recording too.
32 bit float essentially removes the risk of clipping, so if someone unexpectedly shouts or a shot goes from a whisper to a scream, you can fix the levels afterwards instead of losing the take.
For content creators just starting out, being able to restore a recording that would otherwise need redoing thanks to loud popping P is a massive benefit.
DJI has also leaned on AI for noise cancelling, with two selectable levels. Basic is tuned for indoor clutter like fans, air con hum and reverb, while Strong is built for noisier outdoor environments and street interviews.
Clipping Control steps in automatically when volume spikes without warning, and Loudness Balance keeps output consistent across a conversation, which is handy for interviews or livestreams where speakers naturally vary in volume.
There are also three voice tone presets, Regular, Bright and Rich, for shaping the sound without touching an editing timeline.
For anyone recording group conversations, one receiver can now pair with up to four transmitters at once, making the Mic Mini 2S a reasonable option for podcasts, roundtables or multi person shoots.
It's also backward compatible with the original Mic Mini, Mic Mini 2 transmitters and the DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver, so existing DJI mic owners aren't locked out of upgrading gradually.
The transmitter itself weighs around 12g and can be worn with a clip or magnetically, with DJI's existing range of colourful magnetic front covers compatible here too.
There's also a new Time Series cover collaboration with illustrator Victo Ngai for anyone who wants their mic to look a bit more considered than "off the shelf tech accessory."
DJI has also built in OsmoAudio Direct Connection, letting the Mic Mini 2S transmitter pair straight to select Osmo cameras, including the Osmo Pocket 4P, Osmo Pocket 4, Osmo 360, Osmo Nano and Osmo Action 6, without needing a receiver at all.
It delivers 48kHz 24 bit audio directly to camera, which should appeal to anyone already shooting on DJI's Osmo range and wanting one less thing to carry.
