Is the DJI mic 2 worth it with the fx6?

Thinking of picking up a DJI Mic 2 with Sony shoe adapter for some run and gun work. Ease of use, no cables and 32 bit float are the main attractions. I already own a few Tentacle Track E's, G4s and a Rode Go II set. Anyone use the DJI in a professional set up? Thanks

Non-UHF systems still feel like they should be relegated to bonus recordings via the rx, but you're talking about 32 bit float recording straight to the transmitter?

Sounds like a great set up, but I don't think a UHF system from Sony or Sennheiser is hard to use, or has annoying cables.

It depends what you mean by run and gun, there are times I appreciate AAs, rather than having to charge yet another device via USB-C in some random hotel room.

What's the latest with these systems, is the DJI mic 2 leading the pack? Or is there a better RODE option?

I'm a fan of fewer post steps even though syncing is pretty easy.

Hey, Rob. The dji records 32bit to TX, correct. The setup with the g4's is a bit more involved i.e. scanning freqs, etc. than the DJI mics. I pretty much wanted a mic that I can drop on a podium or something an not have to worry about clipping or post sync...

Is this right:
- transmitted audio that's the audio channel for each video clip, via rx, and
- an option for separate audio clips recorded inside the actual transmitter?

Are they both 32 bit float? Then you have the choice to use recordings from inside the transmitter if, for example, there's interference from the wireless?
