The launch date for DJI's next microphone hardware has been known for some time. As we have discussed separately, the Mic 3 is now tipped to be joined by the Osmo 360 as part of a simultaneous release. While the design of DJI's first 360-degree action camera has been known for some time, it was unclear what the Mic 3 would actually look like.
Instead, the Mic 3 had only turned up on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with a few hints about its feature set. However, Jasper Ellens has now filled in the gaps by publishing several product images that we have embedded below. Surprisingly, the Mic 3 looks more like the recent Mic Mini than the existing Mic 2 (curr. $164 on Amazon).
To that end, the Mic 3 is said to measure just 14 x 28 x 29 mm and weigh 11.7 g. For comparison, the Mic 2 comes in at 22 x 31 x 46 mm and weighs 28 g. In fact, the Mic 3 is only marginally larger than the Mic Mini, which measures 16 x 26 x 27 mm and weighs 10 g.
Specifications for the Mic 3 remain unknown for now. With that being said, Ellens believes that DJI has effectively updated its existing receiver and charging case to accommodate 'new standards'. Presumably, full specifications and pricing will emerge before the Mic 3's July 29 release date.
