The Mic 3 pairs easily with cameras, computers, and smartphones using both direct and receiver connection methods. It provides consistently excellent audio quality across different devices and environments. The transmitter integrates with the OsmoAudio system and can link directly to DJI cameras such as the Osmo 360, Osmo Action 5 Pro, and Osmo Pocket 3 without the receiver. The transmitters lack a 3.5-mm input for external lavalier microphones and the Safety Track recording mode from the Mic 2 has been removed, though similar recording setups remain possible. U.S. availability is uncertain due to tariff concerns. The two-transmitter/one-receiver package costs $329 and offers strong value.
I tested the Mic 3 with cameras, computers, and smartphones, using both direct connection and receiver connection methods. It paired painlessly with everything I threw at it, from my mirrorless camera to my iPhone, and the audio quality remained consistently excellent across different devices and environments. It's part of the OsmoAudio system too, meaning the transmitter can directly link with DJI cameras like the Osmo 360, Osmo Action 5 Pro, and Osmo Pocket 3, bypassing the receiver entirely while still offering high-quality audio.
The Mic 3 isn't perfect, but I found little to complain about. The transmitters no longer include a 3.5-mm input for connecting external lavalier microphones, which might frustrate people who prefer to hide their mics completely. DJI has also dropped the Safety Track recording mode that was available on the Mic 2, but it's entirely possible to rig one up using the available options.
US availability remains uncertain; like other recent DJI products, the Mic 3 isn't officially launching in America due to ongoing tariff concerns. US consumers may be able to source units through third-party retailers, but that's far from ideal for a product that should really be widely available. At $329 for the complete two-transmitter, one-receiver, and charging case package, the Mic 3 is actually cheaper than the Mic 2 was at launch,
