Each time I refer to TRSS, I meant TRRS. Thanks to @uldmedia for the tip, no pun intended 😁 Hope this video helps save some $$ and testing time. Appreciate you all!

Thanks for this!! It's always awesome to see what works and doesn't with tests before buying a bunch of new cables yourself.

dayum! Very thorough and concise, and thank you for the all the rapid fire testing WITH pictures. I don't need this info ATM, but am DEF saving this video for later projects down the road, thanks! Best of luck with the channel.

Just watched and my head is spinning :)

Yo! That was an epic video! I just picked up the Action 4 and using it with the DJI Mic wireless kit. Nice setup, BUT I didn’t know it would power such large usb mics too! Thank you!

Отличный гайд, спасибо. Теперь нужно найти как купить в России.

Video was confusing at first as you went too fast plus kept saying TRSS. I watched it a few more times while I tried my Rode video micro and Hollylang Lark M1 and got them to work using the the TRS to usb C adapter or a trs to trrs cable coupled to a usb c to female trs cable. I learnt the hard way that the trs to trs cable doesn’t work in the usb c to female end trs cable.

Thank you so much! I very much appreciate this video. I was struggling to find an adapter that would work with my original Rode Wireless Go and thankfully you had one in this video as an example! I went ahead and ordered the Hollyland adapter. Prior to seeing this video, I was very close to going to the nearest Wal-Mart and purchasing the Apple (I despise Apple so this would've been my only Apple purchase ever lol) USB C to 3.5mm female adapter. What a terrible mistake that would've been. Once again, thank you so much for this video. So helpful 😃 I hope to eventually upgrade to the wireless DJI Bluetooth mic for an easier connection without adapters.

Wow super sir.. 😮I really impressed in your R& D you save lot of money.. Thank you so much.. Subscribed 🙂✌️

Hello, Let me know which Mic combination works the best when you want to use the DJI OA 4 for Moto vlogging and do a Quick Capture. i.e. is there Zero Lag in Mic Detection in any of the combinations, when you try to record a video with Quick Capture. i.e. Cold Start.

Thanks for this!!! Awesome testing and review.... Pro level quality on the edit too. Used your links to pick up a few things!

Such a useful video, thank you so much for putting this together. Answered all my questions

Awesome detailed video!

Hi, I just got a DJI Action 4 today! My issue is that I have the Rode Video Go II and I noticed a big difference in audio levels when plugging it into my brand new DJI Action 4 with the DJI USB-C to USB-C charging cable provided versus a Rode SC2 TRS to TRS cable with a third party USB-C adapter to connect to the Action 4. The USB-C to USB-C cable provided in the box has quieter but smoother sounding audio and I had to boost the gain setting on the DJI Action 4 from the default of 6 to like 18 to get it to sound at the same level as when using the Rode SC2 cable with the USB-C adapter at the default gain setting of 6 on the Action 4. Could it be that I need a Rode SC-16 USB-C to USB-C cable because the DJI charging cable is not providing a proper audio signal? I suppose my third party USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter might be providing too much of a signal too. . . It was a $22 item on Amazon that clearly states that it can be used to plug in mics for audio.

Hey but I can use my Rode wireless go mic with this action camera and iphone 15 pro with the USB connection. I'm getting good signal.

The setups needed to connect audio to the new Osmo cameras is ridiculous. I'm glad I have my original Osmo Action cameras with the media adapter you mentioned at the start of the video. I have a mic on top of the camera cage and plug it into the camera and can also charge it at the same time. Minimal footprint minimal hassle. I wish DJI would plan ahead for something like this and make the same kind of adapter for their cameras or let a 3rd party make them also.

I can’t watch the video at the moment so sorry if you answered this in the video but is there any other microphones I can use like a wire in one

Well done mate for this amazing solutions. Cannot deal to record externally anymore... Sub !

Can I connect it with AKG LYRA microphone?

Thanks. Really helpful. I would have been interested to see how the Rode Wireless GoII would have sounded using USB-C to USB-C.

thank you so very much for this video, it helped me a lot!

I just picked up a OA4 and am using a MOVO VXR10 microphone connected through a TRS to USB-C cable I picked up from B&H Photo. Seems to work OK, but I need to figure out a better way to mount it so I can run a better wind blocker without it protruding into the camera's line of sight. Also need to do some testing with the gain settings.

Hello and thanks for this test, I have the Rode VideoMicro and the Hollyland 3.5 trs to usb-c cable and it works great! I only noticed that when I do vlog and am at 1mt distance from the mic, I have to push the db to +8/10! Did you notice the same "trouble"? Otherwise there is a really low volume.

This was perfect. Thank you!

Thank you for this thorough test. Have you had any success with recording in stereo? I've thought about using binaural microphones (stereo) to record audio on walking videos. Would be very convenient if the audio went straight to the video file in full stereo.

Thanks! that's a lot of effort. salute and good luck on you channel. you deserve more subscriber.

My Røde Wireless Go II works perfect with the cable from BOYA BY-K2 (USB-C to USB-C also works, but then about 4s noise sound at the beginning of video, after that period all works very well. So for short recordings I use the BOYA BY-K2, then about 1s noise)

i'm having trouble with my osmo action, when a press record, it takes like 10 seconds to start using the external usb c mic. then the video always start super loud and after some secconds it drops to normal. have anyone experienced this?

does the action 4 tell you if it's using an external mic? Is there an icon that shows up? In your video there seems to be one but my one doesn't have it.

I just received the Hollyland cable you've recommanded. Only to realise it is mono (it's mixing the 2 channel of my Rode Wireless Go 2 and that there is a very strong hiss in the background... Fortunately, I also ordered the MOVO UCMA 1 in the same time and this one works way better for me. It might also be something with the recent firmware update 🤷🏽‍♂

Silly question... I noticed the door panel to the USB input was off of your camera. How did you take it off without breaking it ?

Perfect Review 📸👌👌👌

Super useful info, thank you!!!

excellent review thankyou very much

Thanks for the clear compilation of the cabling options of the DJI Action 4. Am just a little confused because you sometimes talk about TRSS - know only TRS (tip / ring / sleeve) and TRRS (tip / ring / ring / sleeve). Find also in the Google search nothing to TRSS?

Have you tried the Hohem Mic-01?

Thank you for your hard work !

Thanks! Super helpful video.

Great video !! Upon coming across so many options here, I just figured the USB-C to USB-C charging cable that came with my DJI OSMO Action 3 works well with an AnkerWork M650 RX which also has a USB-C as well as a 3.5mm input. I haven't tested extensively the USB-C to USB-C connection between the camera and the RX in terms of voice recording quality but Do you think it has any disadvantages ?? Appreciate if you can respond with your expert knowledge. You deserved a subscribe because this video opened up multiple ideas for me. Oh ! and not to mention saved me $$$ buying two different adapter+cables. THANKS !!

Tried the Apple USB -C to trrs with Jbl Commercial CSL M20B it has trrs pin didn’t work, tried another Amazon mic with trrs and it works, sound is pretty decent.

Thank You👍

thanks for information

Do any of these solutions allow for stereo recording?

Thank you so much, this was amazing! 👊🏼🔥

Dayummm❤

Very useful video! Thank you!

Hi, anyone here who uses the "Hollyland Lark M1" microphone(s) with an Osmo Action 3 or 4? Which case can you recommend to mount the receiver on top and then connect it to the cam with e.g. the Hollyland USB-C to TRS cable?

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

great vid thanks, i knew you meant trrs - its all a tad confusing but possible to keep track of. is it just any ol coupler for the hollyland to rode config? just a trs to trs coupler? brand doesnt much matter?

I have a Saramonic Blink 500, what is the Saramonic mic adapter for use on Action Cam 4? Can I use Saramonic SR-C2001?

@01:28 you're using a USB-C OTG cable. Doesn't that cable include a DtoA converter? The OSMO takes a USB-C digital feed directly from your mic when you plug it in directly. Is the signal chain converting twice when you use the OTG cable? Mic outputs digital, cable converts it to analog, camera converts it back to digital to add to the video? Is there a regular USB-C Splitter that you could use in that case?

Did you also test the Boya BY-M4? I purchased the Sennheiser XSLav and it just doesn't get detected if camera is left idle for long.

Is the coupler for hollyland adapter female to female?thnks

One other question: when you have two people on the Rode Go ii mics going into the Action 4 do you get both Chanel’s saved on the card?

Can you man a video on Dji pocket 3 with Dji warless mic ?

Thank you! best value from this video! - Wanted to check with you the new Rode Wireless Pro will directly work with Digital input on OSMO? TIA

🔥👍👍👍

First of all thank you so much for this video...👍👍 My question is, could you please share the link of the converter from USB to USB-C that you are using with KOOPAO USB-C OTG cable.I think you mentioned in the video its KOOPAO as well, but I couldnt find any kind of converter in amazon.If there isnt anymore, which one should I use..?

Thanks for the video! Just got the dji action 4 after almost tossing my hero 9 off in the weeds. It's captured all my video and lost just about as much lol! I did have my mic setup working really well with the gopro. I use two trs mics, one for me and one for my buddys intercom voice by my helmet speaker. I think I'll go with the trs to usb c adapter you mentioned. Any preference on the coupler for the two trs connections? Thanks again man!

1:09 USB C to USB B???

For some reason when I connect Goii receiver with USBc to USBc on the Action 4 I get static only (I have ordered the DJI mic set)

Thank you so much for this video. Does the camera still waterproof when connect with these cables?

So this camera is able to have bouth external mic and power at the same time? 'cause the Actions before had this disabled because of thermal issues...

Nice Video Thank You, and a New Abonnent, grüße Michael

Cool video. But i have to ask , whilst vlogging on the streets of big cities with a action 4 should is it possible to add an external mic that records front and rear. For example when i flip the camera away from me or towards me then the sound still is even. What's your thoughts? Or should i just use the built in mic and fix in post? Thank you so much as always

Please reply if possible, I've JBL CSLM20B auxiliary lavelier microphone, I purchased a usb c to 3.5mm connector to connect it to my osmo action 4, but it didn't connect. What am I missing ? How do I make it work, please help Thanks in advance ❤

Can we use tws earphones as mic with dji osmo action 4?

Thankyou so much for the video. I am trying to set up a motovlog rig and by far the biggest headache so far has been sound. The only thing I've gotten to work so far is the Ankr adapter with a smart Lav+ from Rode. But even tho the camera sees this TRRS set up it doesn't see it enough to allow for the actual settings for gain and wind noise to be displayed so I haven't actually used it in action. I also bout Saramonic TRS adapter Saramonic Lav omnidirectional TRS mic. The adapter says right on the packaging that its for DJI Osmo Action..but my Action 4 does not even see this set up. I guess when they say Osmo Action ..they literally mean the first gen camera only and not the whole action line? Anyway, I'm interested in the Ankr to Shure MVL lab set up and I have a question. Did that set up not only just see the mic but also allow for the gain setting and other features to be displayed under the external mic symbol?

Did you test rode wireless usb-c to usb-c?

Stereo or not? the usb-c/trs adapter (Boya or other) on the Action 4 if connect a stereo microphone?

…nice review…slow down a little…but this is just constructive feedback…I wished I was able to make a video like this….

In short, the DJI Action 3 and 4 are shit to connect external microphones to them.

Can I connect it with AKG LYRA microphone?
