DJI Mic 3 aims to make wireless audio foolproof for vloggers and interviewers

From adaptive gain to 32-bit float safety nets, DJI’s latest clip-on mic is built for creators who can’t afford do-overs.

Wireless clip-on mics have become essential for creators — light, discreet, and simple to use. But anyone who’s relied on them is always wary of the weak spots: voices that clip in noisy settings, guests who fade into the background, or entire takes lost when a signal drops.

DJI’s new Mic 3 aims to fill those gaps. It introduces adaptive gain control, designed to rein in sudden peaks or boost softer voices without manual tweaking. There’s also dual-file 32-bit float recording with 32GB onboard storage, saving every take twice — one untouched, one enhanced — to guard against dropouts or distortion.

Built for bigger setups

For interviews, DJI added voice tone presets (Regular, Rich, Bright), which apply a basic EQ pass, so multiple voices sit together more naturally. Larger shoots are also covered: the system supports up to four transmitters and eight receivers, with timecode sync built-in to keep multi-camera edits aligned. For those who require more control in post-production, Quadraphonic mode enables up to four independent tracks (mic recordings) on supported cameras and software.

Portability and endurance

Each lightweight transmitter weighs just 16 grams, minimising tugging on clothes, while the receiver features an OLED touchscreen interface for ease of control. The battery life is adequate, with up to 8 hours per transmitter and 10 hours on the receiver. With the charging case, you can squeeze out up to 28 hours of battery life. A five-minute quick charge nets two hours of use, and a full charge takes under an hour.

DJI quotes a 400-metre range with dual-band hopping for stable transmission, and the system pairs directly with Osmo cameras without a receiver. Standard TRS, TRRS, USB-C and Bluetooth connections cover everything else.

For users, it means you have a system that runs all day and connects directly to most cameras, phones, or laptops without the need for extra adapters.
