DJI, the global leader in drone and camera stabilization technology, is reportedly preparing to unveil its next-generation wireless microphone system—the DJI Mic 3—with a design significantly more compact than initially anticipated. Leaked images and insider reports suggest that the new model takes heavy inspiration from the rumored DJI Mic Mini, a yet-unreleased ultra-portable version of the company’s popular wireless mic lineup.
A Sleeker, More Compact Design
According to recent leaks, including a tweet from industry insider Jasper Ellens, the DJI Mic 3 will feature a refined, pocket-friendly form factor while retaining the professional-grade audio quality DJI is known for.
The new design appears to ditch the bulkier rectangular shape of the DJI Mic 2 in favor of a slimmer, rounded casing, making it easier to conceal on talent or fit into tight camera rigs. Early renders also suggest an improved magnetic clip system, allowing for quicker mounting on clothing.
Enhanced Features & Specs
While official details remain under wraps, sources close to DroneXL report that the Mic 3 will include:
- 32-bit float internal recording (matching the Mic 2)
- Extended battery life (up to 8-10 hours per charge)
- Improved noise reduction for clearer dialogue in noisy environments
- Multi-device pairing, enabling up to four transmitters to connect to a single receiver

Competing with Rode & Sony
The move towards a smaller design could be DJI’s answer to competitors like Rode’s Wireless Pro and Sony’s ECM-W3, both of which have emphasized portability without sacrificing audio performance. If the leaks hold true, the DJI Mic 3 may become the go-to choice for vloggers, filmmakers, and journalists who need professional sound in a discreet package.
Expected Launch & Pricing
Rumors point to an official announcement in late July or early August 2025, with a retail price likely hovering around $349 for a two-transmitter kit—placing it in direct competition with its predecessors and rivals.
Will DJI’s latest mic shake up the wireless audio market? With its rumored miniaturized design and pro-level features, it certainly has a strong chance. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the expected launch window.
