DJI appears to be lining up a smaller, cheaper sequel to its compact wireless mic, and the leak is doing a lot of the talking for it. The Mic Mini 2 briefly surfaced on DJI’s China site before being pulled, giving away the hardware, bundle options, and pricing ahead of the teased global reveal.
The headline trick is cosmetic, but it is a smart one: colorful magnetic faceplates. Most bundles ship with black and white plates, while the top kit includes the full set. That sounds minor until you remember how many creators want gear that looks less like lab equipment and more like something they can leave on camera without apologizing for it.
DJI Mic Mini 2 specs and battery life
On the audio side, DJI is keeping the formula familiar. The DJI Mic Mini 2 offers 48 kHz 24-bit recording, automatic anti-clipping, basic noise cancellation with two levels, and 32-bit floating-point internal recording. It also adds voice tone presets called Normal, Bright, and Rich, which is the sort of shortcut that should save beginners a few awkward export sessions.
Battery life looks close to the original formula too:
- About 11.5 hours for the transmitter
- About 10.5 hours for the receiver
- Up to 48 hours total with the charging case
In a market where Rode, Hollyland, and DJI keep nudging creators toward simpler plug-and-play kits, that combination of long runtime and built-in recording is the real selling point.
DJI Mic Mini 2 prices from CNY 179
Pricing is where this gets interesting. Based on the removed listing, the DJI Mic Mini 2 starts at CNY 179 for the transmitter alone, then moves to CNY 329 for a basic transmitter-and-receiver combo or a transmitter with a charging case. A bundle with a charging case, one receiver, and two transmitters is listed at CNY 429.
- CNY 179: transmitter only
- CNY 329: transmitter and receiver, or transmitter with charging case
- CNY 429: charging case, one receiver, two transmitters
- CNY 599 and CNY 698: higher configurations with additional transmitters
Accessories are listed separately too: windscreens and magnetic faceplates at CNY 99, with special edition faceplates at CNY 199. That pricing puts the bundle ladder squarely in impulse-buy territory for anyone already filming on a phone, mirrorless camera, or compact rig.
US launch still looks uncertain
The big unanswered question is whether this actually reaches the US in a clean, timely way. A Mic Mini 2 variant showed up in FCC filings earlier this year, then vanished, which is a familiar pattern for DJI products that do not always arrive everywhere at once. The company has done this dance before, and it often leaves buyers waiting while competitors move product off shelves.
So the near-term story is simple: DJI has another compact mic almost ready, it is trying to win attention with customization instead of raw spec inflation, and the global reveal should settle whether these leaked prices hold up outside China. If the company keeps the pricing aggressive, the only real question is how long rivals can justify charging more for less convenience.
