I got the DJI NANO but Tiktok blocks duplicate uploads, so I reversed the video to avoid the flag 🤣 Check out my Japanese channel if you want to see the unboxing 🇯🇵 #dji#djinano#djinanoactioncamera#actioncamera#reboxing
I just got ahold of the DJI NANO action camera. As my first action camera, I thought I would share my initial thoughts & impressions of it. This post is not sponsored by DJI, so I am sharing my own unbiased opinion.
Why now & why this specific model? There are several reasons. Firstly, as I have repeatedly warned, electronic prices have been trending upward. Even last-generation devices are being marked up rather than priced down as they are phased out like they used to be. It may be years before we see the type of price decreases that we use to as items were phased out. Additionally, there have been intensifying rumours of supply constraints specific to Japan in the form of import restrictions. Overall, I wanted to beat the market & get the NANO while I could before it gets marked up or otherwise becomes unavailable. As for why I got this specific model, already having the DJI Pocket 3 as well as my Samsung Flip 6, the reason is that it is compact & discreet in comparison to those. I primarily intend to use the NANO to shoot hands-free, utilising the included necklace attachment for easy point-of-view recording. I find that getting out my phone is intrusive since I have to hold it & draw attention to the fact that I am recording. Same with the DJI Pocket 3. For first-person-perspective shots with either of those devices, I need to carry around a chest harness mount then strap it on when I want to shoot. The result is much bulkier & ungainly, drawing undue attention to the fact that I am recording. Specific to my phone, I always worry that I might drop & seriously damage it in the process. As cool as they are, Samsung’s Flip series aren’t known for durability or ruggedness at all, & being without a phone for weeks due to an accident is not a position I wish to put myself in. With the NANO, I can easily wear it & nobody even knows that I’m recording. I also don’t have to worry that an accidental drop will cut me off from the world as it would with my phone. It is still a fairly large lens, so I think anybody paying attention would notice it immediately. I would not recommend it for 100% covert recording for that reason, but spying like that is not my intent. I simply want an unobtrusive, discreet way to record various events & attractions that I visit or overhead views of product unboxing/testing. At this point of what I suppose you would call my video career, it seems that the faceless videos I post get more traction than those of me talking. Maybe one day I will surpass this level, but in the meantime, I think this camera will give me a great edge in recording the types of videos that seem to perform best on my TikTok, YouTube, etc. Lastly, I am already somewhat locked into the DJI ecosystem, possessing not only the Pocket 3 but also the Mic 2. Therefore, buying another brand without the compatibility was less appealing than just sticking to something I was already familiar with & had both hardware/software for.
What Is the Performance Like?
So far, so good. I had been worried since numerous reports of overheating issues occurring within less than 10 minutes were rampant at release, but this does not seem to be the case with my model. Whether that is due to an upgrade of the hardware or firmware, I am not sure, but in my initial testing I got over 20 minutes shooting at maximum settings with no signs of overheating. Feeling safe, since I personally never record any longer than that, I cut off the overheat testing at that point to check out other features. I had initially mistaken the screen timeout for overheating. This occurred less than two minutes in, but after a slight bit of research, I realised all I needed to do was swipe right on the screen to set the timeout to “never” & the issue has not returned. I should also note that there is on-board memory capacity so, unlike the Pocket 3, you do not need an SD card before you can record anything. I opted for the 128GB, rather than the 64GB model, due to memory shortages being a driving force in global technology price increases. I tend to shoot everything in 1080p, but it is good to know that I have the 4K option there if I ever happen to want or need it. I do not think that we are at the point where most platforms fully welcome 4K, but since I am uploading to social media in an effort to become monetised, I do not think wasting space to have a 4K video that only anyone at my own home can see is worth the sacrifice. Just to mention the one real problem I’ve had so far, the DJI Mimo app not exporting my edited videos to my phone. The app will say that it is exported, but it does not appear in the DJI Exports album or anywhere else in my gallery. It takes several tries to push it through &, however many tries it takes, that many copies are pushed to the album when it finally does work (today, I had to push it through 7 times &, when it finally went through, I ended up with 7 copies of the same video). This is annoying & frustrating, but I cannot blame it on the NANO particularly since I am not sure if it is the camera, the Mimo app or even my phone itself. I intend to contact DJI support to see if they can provide some help with this.
Do I Recommend This Camera?
I do. Many reviews that I watched & read prior to making my own purchase warned that it is not a true action camera, but that is not my intended purpose anyway. I do not plan to take my NANO kayaking, rock-climbing or on a motorcycle (especially since I no longer have one). I simply want to use it for both event videos & product unboxing/review videos. If your intentions are the similar mine, I would definitely recommend it. A closed model such as the DJI Action series would likely be better for you if you are planning to partake in more extreme activities such as outdoor sports, etc.
As I mentioned above, prices may soon go up due to shortages of memory at an industrial scale &, if you are in Japan, additional import restrictions may further limit or cease availability. Therefore, I would advise getting it sooner rather than later.

The highly anticipated DJI Osmo Pocket 4, the next iteration of DJI’s popular ultra-compact 3-axis gimbal camera, has encountered a setback in its release schedule. Initially rumoured to launch as early as 18 December 2025, the device is now expected to arrive in the latter half of January 2026, according to reliable industry sources.
Reasons Behind the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Delay
Insider reports from Photorabz indicate that the postponement stems from unprepared accessories for the new model. The core camera is reportedly ready, but ensuring a complete and polished ecosystem has led to the shift. Recent updates suggest the release is slated for January 2026, likely towards the latter half of the month.
Potential Teaser & Ongoing Preparations
Action camera outlets report that DJI may unveil a teaser page by the end of December 2025. While a December launch is now ruled out, preparations continue – the device has secured FCC certification in the United States, clearing regulatory pathways.
What to Expect from the DJI Osmo Pocket 4
As the successor to the acclaimed Osmo Pocket series, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is poised to feature enhancements such as a larger battery, potential dual-camera setup & improved stabilisation for portable videography.
DJI fans are far from short of new gear. The company has delivered several notable launches in recent months, including the compact DJI Osmo Nano wearable camera (launched September 2025), the flagship Osmo Action 6 action camera (launched November 2025), & the advanced DJI Mic 3 wireless microphone system (released August 2025). Additionally, the innovative Osmo 360 panoramic camera debuted in July 2025, expanding options for immersive content creation.
Advice for Osmo Pocket 3 Owners Looking to Upgrade
Those considering selling their Osmo Pocket 3 to fund the Pocket 4 & secure the best resale value should act promptly. The delay provides an extra grace period before the new model’s arrival potentially impacts second-hand prices. Listing on resale platforms now could yield stronger returns ahead of the January 2026 launch.

ついこの間まで、俺は「DJI Mic を受信機なしで使う方法」を記事＆動画で紹介していました。 ところがここ数週間、特にYouTubeで多くのクリエイターが「DJIがこっそり出した“秘密のモバイル受信機”」に大騒ぎしています。スマホ撮影向けに静かに発売されたこのアイテム、頻繁に完売しており、メルカリなどで法外な転売価格で取引されている状況です。
Not even all that long ago, I wrote & provided video instructions for how to use DJI Mic devices without receivers. However, in recent weeks, many content creators, particularly on Youtube, have been going crazy over a supposedly “secret” item: a mobile receiver that DJI quietly released for content creators who use their phones to record.
This secret item has frequently sold out to the point that many people are paying exorbitantly high markups on eBay & the like just to get their hands on one. So I’m here to remind you that you don’t actually need this device. I don’t say that just in the general sense that you should forgo all worldly possessions, give up on your content creation dreams & become a monk, but to show you again how you can get this device’s functionality, FOR FREE, without the need or use of any external receiver.
Starting off with iPhone since you people may well not be able to use this receiver, should you even be able to get your hands on one, due to the fact that it only comes in a USB-C configuration & is incompatible with older iPhone devices with Lightning ports.
Install RØDE Reporter: Search for “RØDE Reporter” in the App Store (don’t worry, it’s free–no signup or subscription necessary), download it, & grant microphone permissions when prompted.
Connect DJI Mic 2 via Bluetooth: Press & hold the pairing button on the DJI Mic 2 transmitter until the indicator flashes, entering pairing mode. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > Bluetooth & select the DJI Mic 2 (it may appear as “headphones”).
Confirm Connection in RØDE Reporter: Launch the app & verify it displays “External Microphone” rather than “Internal Microphone,” indicating the DJI Mic 2 is connected.
Open the Native Camera App: Keep RØDE Reporter running in the background. Launch the iPhone’s Camera app, select Video mode, & the DJI Mic 2 will capture audio wirelessly.
Record Your Video: Begin recording. Create a short test clip to ensure audio quality & levels are satisfactory.
NOTE: The Bluetooth connection may route audio output to the DJI Mic 2, which lacks speakers. Disable Bluetooth or power off the Mic 2 to hear playback through your iPhone speakers after recording.
Much easier than iPhone, there’s no need for you to download anything, simply go to your native camera app & enter Pro Video mode to pair your DJI Mic via Bluetooth.
Connect DJI Mic 2 via Bluetooth: Power on the DJI Mic 2 transmitter. Press and hold the record button (link button) for three seconds until the status indicator flashes blue, entering Bluetooth pairing mode. On your Samsung Galaxy device, navigate to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled & select “DJI Mic 2” from the list of available devices (it may appear as a headset or microphone). Confirm any pairing prompts. The indicator will turn solid blue once connected.
Launch the Native Camera Application in Pro Video Mode: Open the stock Camera application on your Samsung Galaxy device. Swipe left or tap “MORE” at the bottom, then select “PRO VIDEO”. This mode provides advanced controls, including the ability to select external audio inputs.
Select the DJI Mic 2 as Audio Input: In Pro Video mode, locate the audio settings icon (typically a microphone symbol) above or near the record button on the right side of the screen. Tap it to access the audio source menu. Choose “Bluetooth” or “External Mic” (it may list the DJI Mic 2 directly). Ensure the internal microphone is disabled if prompted. The application will now utilise audio from the DJI Mic 2.
Record Your Video: Adjust video parameters such as resolution, frame rate, or exposure as required. Press the record button to begin capturing video. The DJI Mic 2 will wirelessly record high-quality audio synchronised with your footage. Record a short test clip to verify audio levels and clarity.
At its original $15 MSRP this mobile receiver that DJI released was generously priced. However, generous pricing proves futile with minimal supply, as evidenced by the secondary market AKA scalpers selling the DJI mobile receiver several times its original price. Still, armed with my how-to instructions above, you no longer need to purchase one at all so you can use that money you saved to buy yourself a shirt on the Necrolicious Store to look cool in all the videos you record.

Samsung’s One UI, built on Android’s Bluetooth audio framework, supports external microphone input in Pro Video mode without the restrictions found in iOS. Once paired, the DJI Mic 2 functions as a standard Bluetooth audio device & Pro Video mode allows explicit selection of the input source. This ensures real-time wireless audio capture directly within the native application, eliminating the need for additional software or hardware.
Additional Guidance
Gain Adjustment: Adjust the DJI Mic 2’s gain settings via its built-in touchscreen or the DJI Mimo application (if installed) before recording. Test clips are recommended to ensure optimal audio levels in varied environments.
Firmware & Software Updates: Keep the DJI Mic 2 firmware updated via the DJI Mimo application, and ensure your Samsung Galaxy device runs the latest Android/One UI version to prevent connectivity issues.
Limitations for Live Streaming: This Bluetooth method may introduce slight latency, making it less suitable for live streaming. For such applications, consider using the wired receiver connected via a USB-C adapter.
Alternative Applications: If Pro Video mode is unavailable or you encounter issues, applications such as Open Camera or Blackmagic Camera support Bluetooth microphones and can serve as alternatives. However, for seamless integration, the stock Camera application is recommended. Note that older Samsung models with Exynos processors (e.g., pre-S21 European variants) may have compatibility limitations; Snapdragon-based devices, such as the S23 or S24 series, perform optimally.
Stereo Recording: For dual transmitters, pair both via Bluetooth, but verify stereo support in Pro Video settings, as mono is the default. Full stereo recording may require the receiver.
This method enables creators to capture professional-grade video & audio using the DJI Mic 2 with Samsung’s native Camera application, without requiring a receiver. Have you tested this approach on your Galaxy device, or discovered alternative solutions? Please share your feedback in the comments & distribute this guide to assist fellow aspiring videographers.

After extensive online research, I found no clear instructions for using the DJI Mic 2 wirelessly with the iPhone’s native Camera app for video recording. Consulting Grok, I developed a straightforward method using Bluetooth, eliminating the need for a receiver. I’m sharing this guide to help creators achieve high-quality audio with their DJI Mic 2 on the iPhone’s default Camera app, avoiding additional equipment costs. Note that I have tested & confirmed that this method works with the DJI mic 2. I highly suspect that it may also work with other Bluetooth microphones, including those by other brands, but I do not have the DJI Mic Mini or the DJI Mic 3, nor do I have other brands to test with. If you have another brand of Bluetooth microphone, please give it a try & comment below if it works.
Why This Method is Valuable
The DJI Mic 2 offers exceptional audio quality, but its Bluetooth functionality isn’t natively supported by the iPhone’s Camera app for video. Purchasing the receiver increases expense & setup complexity. This cost-free solution, utilising the RØDE Reporter app, ensures a portable, wireless recording experience.
Step-by-Step Guide to Recording Video with DJI Mic 2 with no Receiver
Install RØDE Reporter: Search for “RØDE Reporter” in the App Store, download it, & grant microphone permissions when prompted.
Connect DJI Mic 2 via Bluetooth: Press & hold the pairing button on the DJI Mic 2 transmitter until the indicator flashes, entering pairing mode. On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > Bluetooth & select the DJI Mic 2 (it may appear as “headphones”).
Confirm Connection in RØDE Reporter: Launch the app & verify it displays “External Microphone” rather than “Internal Microphone,” indicating the DJI Mic 2 is connected.
Open the Native Camera App: Keep RØDE Reporter running in the background. Launch the iPhone’s Camera app, select Video mode, & the DJI Mic 2 will capture audio wirelessly.
Record Your Video: Begin recording. Create a short test clip to ensure audio quality & levels are satisfactory.
NOTE: The Bluetooth connection may route audio output to the DJI Mic 2, which lacks speakers. Disable Bluetooth or power off the Mic 2 to hear playback through your iPhone speakers after recording.
How It Works
iOS restricts Bluetooth microphones in the native Camera app. By activating the Bluetooth audio session in RØDE Reporter, the connection persists when switching to the Camera app, enabling wireless audio capture.
Additional Tips
Record a test clip to adjust the mic’s gain via its settings.
Ensure the DJI Mic 2 firmware & iOS are updated to prevent connectivity issues.
For live streaming, this method is unreliable; use the wired receiver instead.
Another option for using the DJI Mic 2 & other Bluetooth microphones is to download the Blackmagic Camera app & record using it instead of the native iPhone camera, but some users have reported issues with file management using this app, so this article’s method is best for those who prefer to use the native iPhone camera rather than 3rd party camera apps.
This method enables creators to record professional-grade video audio with the DJI Mic 2 on the iPhone’s native Camera app, without a receiver. Have you tested this approach or discovered other solutions? Share your feedback below & distribute this guide to assist fellow creators.
Of course, if you want to avoid the added hassle of such workarounds, you can buy the real thing, transmitter included. Prices on the Mic 2 recently dropped to record lows with the release of the Mic 3, so there has never been a better time to buy!
