Save $60 on the DJI Mic Mini Kit—Price Drops to Just $109 Today

Looking to upgrade the audio for your phone or action camera footage? Amazon is offering $60 off the DJI Mic Mini kit. Our reviewer gave DJI’s lavalier mic, a 7/10 and this kit includes two mics, a receiver, and a handy charging case. That’s the lowest price yet for this bundle at just $109, and it’s a great value on this easy-to-use and lightweight microphone.

These little mics and their fuzzy windscreens have become increasingly popular over the last year, popping up on collars and in the hands of YouTubers and livestreamers across a number of social media platforms. They sound crisp and clear, and they do a great job of cutting out all the ambient noise that smartphone mics tend to pick up when recording.

They’re also generally very easy to use, with iPhones automatically preferring the wireless mics, and Android phones just needing them selected in the camera app. They have much better battery life than the slightly older and fancier DJI Mic 2 (9/10, WIRED Review), partially because they don’t record locally, but they’re a lot cheaper and lighter in return.

While you can buy the individual bits à la carte, the bundles includes two of the wireless microphones, the wireless receiver, a set of windscreens in two colors, all the charging and connective cables you’ll need for both cameras and phones, and a charging case for the mics and receiver. You can also pick up a receiver and mic on their own for just $59, but given all the small bits and parts, the kit seems well worth the extra cash.

Our reviewer, Julian Chokkattu, did find the setup required a bit of manual dexterity, which tends to come with the territory. The receiver, for example, plugs directly into your phone, and you shouldn’t need to take your case off, but it requires a surprising amount of force to connect or disconnect. The reduced footprint also means it’s easy to lose some of the smaller bits and plastic covers. There were some oddities with the app, too, involving updates and connection types, but nothing that’s cause for concern once you have everything set up the way you like.
