Only a short while ago, Igor Bogdanov disclosed some interesting information regarding DJI's upcoming budget microphone. To give some background, DJI already has products like the DJI Mic 2 and the more affordable older model, the DJI Mic, which is currently priced at $249 on Amazon. Nevertheless, reports suggest that the new DJI Mic Mini will be even less expensive.
Pricing Details
According to both Bogdanov and Jasper Ellens, the starting price for the Mic Mini is expected to be just €59 (about $62). For an extra €30, users can get a version that includes a transmitter and receiver, bringing the total to €89 (around $94). Additionally, a full bundle containing two transmitters, a receiver, and a charger will be priced at €169 (approximately $179).
Release Date Expectations
Sadly, there is still no confirmed release date from the popular leakers. However, Ellens has mentioned that the launch of the DJI Mic Mini is "coming up real soon." This leads to the reasonable assumption that DJI might officially unveil its first true budget microphone by the end of this month, at the very latest.
Battery Life Insights
On another note, Ellens has indicated that this microphone can operate for up to 10 hours on one charge when connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. In comparison, its proprietary charger is said to deliver up to 48 hours of battery life before needing a recharge. Ultimately, DJI doesn't have much more to disclose about the Mic Mini. Meanwhile, Ellens has also shared new promotional images of the product, which can be seen above and below.
