Chinese company Boya has been producing microphones for content creators since their launch in 2012, from wired lavalier mics such as the Boya BY-M1 which features in our best microphone for vlogging and filmmaking guide - to wireless mic kits such as April 2024’s release of the wireless Boyamic kit.
Released into a crowded market in November 2024 is the Boya mini - a 2.4GHz Digital Frequency wireless microphone kit that is billed as the smallest wireless mic kit in the world. With new mics being unveiled each month this may not be the case when you read this review but at the time of writing this is indeed the smallest mic kit that I’ve tested and reviewed for Digital Camera World, and I’ve reviewed 29 mic kits including this one to date! Both the Boya mini transmitters and receiver fit into a case that’s small enough to be confused with your ear pod case when you reach for it in your pocket! The smallest mic I’d tested before encountering the Boya mini was the Godox Cube and despite being even smaller, the Boya mini can outperform the Godox Cube in relation to broadcasting over a distance without signal dropout!
