Common questions
What wireless mic system should I buy for video?
DJI Mic 3 and Mic 2, Rode Wireless GO II, Hollyland Lark M2, and Saramonic Blink Me are the standard picks for camera and phone video. They include 32-bit float on the latest releases (DJI Mic 3, Saramonic Ultra), which makes clipping mathematically impossible — a major reliability win for unpredictable interview audio.
Are 2.4 GHz or UHF wireless mics better?
2.4 GHz is the consumer/creator standard — license-free worldwide, great quality, occasional dropouts in crowded RF environments. UHF (Shure ULX-D, Sennheiser EW) is the broadcast/film standard — rock-solid in dense RF, more channels, but heavier, expensive, and license-managed in some regions.
Do wireless mics work with iPhones?
Modern systems include a USB-C receiver and a Lightning adapter or app-friendly receiver. Rode Wireless Micro and DJI Mic 3 connect directly to iPhones running USB-C (iPhone 15 and later); older Lightning iPhones need an Apple Camera adapter or a Lightning-equipped receiver.
