Thank you for your insights. And special thanks for providing the links to the products you've tested. Made it a lot easier to get exactly what I wanted. 👍
Nice video indeed
Dude, you’re the legend. Thank you for the video!!
Make sure to read the description of the video. There are some caveats that appeared after recording.
You're really good at whatever you're doing sir. May good bless you for everything you had taught everybody in this world, directly or indirectly. It was a good deep comparison and clear explanation plus, you're keep updating and replied with fact and it is fun for me to read it 😊
It's so rare for me to put down comment but i make an exception for this one. Because you're really good at this. Good luck in whatever you do and wherever you're.
From Malaysia with love 😊
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for your video. i purchased the Kiwibird USB C TRS adapter and used both a Rode and Zalman Lav mic and both are clipping extremely fast. They are way too loud.
I also tried a Boya BY-M3 USB C mic and it's way too loud aswell. Do you have any idea why/ how?
Which combination do you use inside your motorcycle helmet? I have a purple panda and its too sensitive ... ironically, the Pro Mode only allows to add db ... works perfect with a GoPro Hero8, but just cannot get a good clean sound in my helmet with the DJI Action 2.
Great video...At this point have you tried it on the last firmware? and how did it go?
I tried a local brand wireless mic in my country, and I connected it directly using usb type c ~ type c (the mic logo appears) but the mic doesn't work, do I have to try using a 3.5mm jack connector ~ type c so that it works?
It should just work with type-c to type-c, if the microphone logo appears. That sounds like a problem with your microphone.
Thank you for explaining. I bought the dji action 2 power combo for my vlogs but indeed the sound recording can not be improved ( very bad ) . I have the DJI osmo action which is perfect. I hope to solve the problem with an external usb c microphone.
cant you use a microphone on the power conbo???
@@themrhtc8757 yes
Excellent 👌🏻
That's a handy collection of audio adapters! It's worth pointing out that the new Rode AI-Micro interface allows two separate lav mics to be connected for interview purposes, and headphones for monitoring and playback. It also supports stereo mics so long as they are self-powered. Cheaper interfaces also allow headphone playback. And I'll also mention that Zoom audio recorders can be connected via their USB socket to the Action 2 USB socket, and used as a stereo mic or as an audio interface with other stuff connected to their mic/line inputs.
I have the Røde Wireless Go II, both one of the original PicoGear 2 and one of the new long range PicoGear 2 Pro, a DJI wireless mic set (en route) and a bunch of InstaMic's .... so I don't think I need more for now :) But with the DJI Action 2 now just taking a standard USB audio interface, the options are literally endless. Something that is much appreciated.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual can I use a mic with the power combo? In case, which one does it work?
@@themrhtc8757 You can. They are all listed in the description.
Cheers for this 👍 Any idea if that USB-C + 3.5mm splitter will work on the Insta360 One R?
Unfortunately not. The Insta360 uses a specialised sound adapter, so you have to use their adapter.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual bummer. Thanks for the intel
You can use a bluetooth headset or mic (airpods, generic bluetooth or instamic) and that'll free up the USB port for charging or using the Android Transfer cable though. InstaMic is not cheap, but the quality of those mics is superb. That option is fairly unique to the Insta360 cams.
I have some videos upcoming on that, both for the One R and the One X2.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual nice, I’ve been using the mic adapter and the Rode wireless go, but will experiment with Bluetooth headphones etc. I had forgotten about the Instamic, cheers 👍
I have not changed the audio-levels in post process. Also, obviously it's possible to add more gain on the Røde Wireless Go II, but I sort of wanted a realistic comparison. I had a look for a link to purchase that Motorola / Denon headset, but have not been able to find any. There should be comparable headsets out there.
Update 15.02.2022: It seems that, at least on the latest firmware, DJI disables the microphone / headset profile on the USB port, once power is plugged in at the same time. I've tested this with both the ManJiaHui USB audio adapters and using the USB-C hub and it's the same behavior. A bug has been filed with DJI, and I'll see, what they come back with.
Did DJI reply? I suspect it was deactivated so that the Cam with Micro use can only be charged via DJI Mic. I don't have a DJI to test it at the moment.
@@nico_albrecht It's in the standard USB UAC design. The microphone and charging share the same pins, which is the reason that most action cam makers use proprietary USB audio modules, same as DJI did before. DJI moved to standard UAC to support the DJI Mic, while keeping the DJI MIc universally usable for everything else.
great video. Are all external mics only possible in mono. Or is stereo possible?
All, the USB sound adapters, that I have tested are TRRS. That means stereo headphones + mono microphone. I've not come across an audio adapter yet, that would take a stereo microphone input. If you record with the DJI Mic and it's USB interface directly connected to the DJI Action 2, then you however do indeed get a stereo track. So if you can find the correct USB audio interface, you can indeed record stereo audio.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual Thanks.
Is the usb connection still working, has the "bug" been fixed. Thanks
If you are talking about not being able to charge and use the microphone at the same time, that is a limitation in the USB-C hardware design. However, there seems to be a workaround, that works with the DJI Mic. I have not tested this myself, yet.
I can also confirm, that you get stereo, when using the Røde Wireless Go II, so the Røde AI-Micro should also work for stereo mic input.
hello. nice vid. i bought the man jia hui. if you charge the camera, the mic doesent work. it feel like disconected. any ideas why?
That sounds odd, but I will double check that. What are you charging the camera with ? Power bank ? And if so, from a USB / QC or PD port ? Also, what microphone are you using with that ?
@@EmeraldAudiovisual mic rode lav plus trrs. charging whith usb from computer and with a 230 v charger
both same problem
I can confirm that. Even worse, it does the same with the USB hub, so it's not your mic adapter, that is at fault. It's simply the DJI Action 2 turning off the mic, once you connect a power source. I'm actually going to file that as a bug, because that makes absolutely no sense.
@@EmeraldAudiovisual thats right. I can't work with that. When i saw this on your Chanel i thougt : o cool thats what im looking for.
Did you try to use mic and charge at same time?
As per the note in the description: the external mic goes off during charging due to a USB design issue.
can you use a remote control with this?
I am not aware of any remote control for the DJI Action cameras apart from their app for Android and iOS.
8:57 only front mic
9:13 all 4 mics
9:54 rode go
10:12 rode go and smartlav+

There's a pretty big difference from the screen moduke mics
Yes. Audio quality increases a lot with the dual screen module.
I cannot believe that there is no way to charge this device and use a external mic. Even with a dual adaptor, the camera only recognises the charger and the external mic disengages and reverts back to onboard cameras. Not happy, I had better mic and charging functionality from the Original DJI OsmO Action
It's a design flaw in the standard USB audio design. The same pins are used for microphone and charge. So your headphones work, but your microphone does not.
That's the reason, that the original DJI Osmo Action, the Insta360 cameras and many others use proprietary microphone dongles/adapters. DJI moved to a standard UAC design to accomodate things like standard USB microphones and their DJI Mic wireless solution.
Make videos short and talk on the point ... Not a good review ... At the end it feels waste of time ... Not getting enough knowledge compared to time spend ...
