Summary

Behnam regrets ordering a standalone cable for £25 when a whole new transmitter with cable would have been £50. He describes owning a DJI Mic Mini complete set and a Mic 3 transmitter, and considers selling the Mini kit and buying a complete Mic 3 system instead. SPEAKER_01 and SPEAKER_00 compare the products, noting the Mic 3 has better internal recording and 32-bit float, and advise Behnam not to rush selling the Mini. Behnam argues the Mic 3 is exactly the same size as the Mini, removing the Mini's ergonomic advantage. They discuss using Amazon resale to upgrade at a lower net cost.

  • Behnam states the Mic 3 is the same shape and size as the Mic Mini.
  • An Amazon resale Mic 3 transmitter was found for £52 with full warranty.

Tasks
