It's the reason I didn't left the Sony Mic alone. But the Sony wireless lacks 32 bit float, no way to see any battery feedback. So know I finally can switch to DJI❤
I just switched to the DJI Mic 2 and instantly went and ordered the adapter. That's a complete game changer for my workflow. Thanks for the video Chris!
i have to ask, how is this a game changer for your workflow? you're just replacing a cable that you have to plug into the camera and the receiver, with an adaptor that you have to plug into the camera and the receiver. What changes?
@@danielarmstrong2144 The less cables I have to carry/keep track of stream lines my flow. Not to mention there's no "plug" into the camera now, it's a hot shoe mic, just like the Sony ECM-B1M. Also the fact that I have an L bracket that doesn't have to be adjusted or moved to accommodate a 3.5mm cable, and helps me to go from vertical to horizontal seamless on the fly, and doesn't slow me down.
Mine arrives tomorrow. Literally ordered before watching a single video because I had feeling these would fly off the shelves. Us Sony shooters have been so spoiled with their native mic systems that this purchase was a no brainer. And it’s definitely priced to sell.
Hi Chris, it's way to late to comment but it seems to me there are two potential issues with using the adapter. Most significant is that on my FX30 this results in an automatic and unadjustable camera audio level which is not necessarily the level you would want to choose. I just did some initial tests and with quiet outdoor sounds it is setting the level way too low. I then reverted to the cable and was then able to set the level and the result was far far better. The second more minor issue is that the adapter then charges whatever you have attached it too - in my case the DJI Mic 2 receiver - and this means in circumstances where you have the camera switched on a lot of the time but record less often (for example walking around looking for birds) the camera battery gets run down more quickly.
The shape the adapter is means it will work in many cages directly. The front and side only stick out about 1mm-2mm most cages have that space. Also i think thats why they made it about 12mm height so it moves the receiver up to clear most alu cages. Will it work for all cages nope but it will work for many and its easy to check looking at a 'top' picture of a cage to see if you have enough clearance.
I'm new to all this, I'm just wondering why can't they just make the receiver bottom the same as the adaptor so I don't have to use a cable or an addition adaptor to make it work...
I don’t even own a DJI mic 2 but I bought one of these adapters as soon as I seen it released. Figured they’d sell like hotcakes and bought one just incase I got the mic 2 in the near future
i got mine, but when i plug it in, it does not pick up the audio, any ideas? the dji mice shows audio, but on my camera the audio is greyed out, im using an fx3
I wonder if its possible to timecode sync through the multi interface shoe? I know the DJI Mic 2 doesn't have timecode anyway, but wouldn't that be something?
Thanks! Great overview. 2 Things i might add: In your video you showed ONE mic attached feeding 2 channels on your fx3. Is it possible to feed the 2 mics into 2 separate channels on the fx3? And 2nd: i use the sony uwp series audio transmitter wich also has this digital transmit feature. While not having to use a 3.5mm cable is nice, the main feature of this for me is the digital transmit. Not converting it back in an analog signal wich then gets re-converted in a digital one is a huge advantage resulting is a significantly lower noise level. Audio is way more cleaner this way.
Yes and Yes, you can have 2 channels in max so either stereo or mono (2 channels mixed) but with a -6dB safety track. Transfer is fully digital at 16bit/48khz or 24bit/48khz. All controls will be turned of in the camera but you can control things from the dji receiver.
Great - but I wish (hope) that Sony will make that interface extension cable available to purchase (instead of hoping for a random one on eBay)). I wonder if it can in fact be ordered as a 'part' from Sony??
Hopefully the dji mic 3 has this on the clip already so u dont need an adatper. subtracting a cable but adding an adapter still makes u bring something extra lets hope they make a sony specific dji mic 3 with this already built in.
Well done Chris. Not seen this anywhere else. Literally is a game changer. Was under the impression only Sony mics would be making the most of the digital interface. Have you done any sound comparisons yet? Assume this is digital to digital interface (like the Sony mics) so skips the DACS?
I would love if the adapter was a bluetooth receiver for the DJI Mic 2 TX - an even more minimal setup to get audio into the Sony digital shoe... But this adapter is pretty cool.
That would be probably 1 channel and lower audio quality this ships the analog convert and no bt signal so you get full 24bit/48khz into the camera. I am not against bt as a backup method but this at $35 is better.
It's sad that it doesn't work for the Sony zv1 :( I was dumb to buy it without even researching. Well, I guess I now have a stronger case to buy a new camera. 🤣😅🤣
@@chrisbrockhurst I would run an extra two channels of wireless at all times if I didn't have to sacrifice an XLR port for it. I don't want the K3M hanging out up there since it's so big
Why didn't you tell anything about possible quality improvements on the audio by using this method by the way? Or are there none? And it's it just only for convenience?
Indeed you can expect a lower NR given that it skips the analog conversion and feeds the camera directly with 2 channel 16bit/48khz or 24bit/48khz. How much that effects things really depends on your setup.
The assumption you make is the same one DJI makes… that all users own the receiver. But guess what? Many users only own the Mic 2 and many of those users own two of the Mic 2 transmitters. Why? Because they also own the hot selling DJI Pocket 3… which was offered bundled with the Mic 2, but can support up to two transmitters. So for the many DJI Pocket 3 owners there is really no way just to buy the missing receiver. It would be great if DJI offered a Receiver and Charging case bundle so Pocket 3 owners could complete the set, and also benefit from being able to use the Mic 2 with their other cameras. Because most DJI pocket owners are not going to opt to buy extra Mic 2’s since the Receiver can only support a max of two transmitters. I really hope someone at DJI pays attention to this.
Well said!! They sold the OP3 Creator Combo pack as the one to get, then completely screwed us with options for the Mic 2 pack. I hope DJI see this and rectify it!
not needing to bring the 3.5mm cable is not "one less thing to pack" when you're adding in something else to pack. the addition of the adaptor means you're not gaining or losing anything. you still have to plug it into the receiver and then into the camera, you still have to pack them separately because it doesn't fit in the charging case, and you still need to be careful with it because if you break the pins it's the same as breaking your cable. it's net 0 for packing, nothing has changed except your mic is now more expensive AND doesn't support auto on/off...
Yeah, appreciate the mention of the 'cage' (which is how I have my Sony camera setup). But, clearly that's not saving me anything so for me I'm out. Still appreciate the information.
you can get the sony multi interface cable with just a simple email to your local sony alpha service center like so: "Hi... I have a sony xlr mic and lost the cable." They will answer: "sure... it's 50 bucks + shipping." The end
this was great, until I tried to mount it on my zve1 with cage and realized I just wasted 35 bucks because it didn't fit. Amazed that they didn't think ahead as most users have their cameras in a cage.
Always love to discover these new gadgets on your channel but this workaround completely defeats the main purpose and that’s not mentioning the cost, even for the adapter alone.
Too much time, trouble and accessories to make this work. Ima stick with my Rode Wireless Go II Dual Mics. I think those have better sound quality than DJI Mic 2.
Without being able to store this adapter IN or ON the Rx itself in the case .. it absolutely is "just one more thing to worry about" and just replaces one small cable with one small adapter. This is so useless
Dude wtf man, that unboxing was just so uncalled for, it made my kid puke which then made my dog puke outside which then made my neighbor puke and he got pissed. Chill.
Maybe put in your title just for the Sony cameras, such a disappointment this is only release for Sony, Sony ain’t always the perfect camera for most people
I was about to pull the trigger on some Rode mics, but this honestly might sway me to DJI.
Cables are the enemy
Yeah. Major plus. I still record off camera due to cables
It's the reason I didn't left the Sony Mic alone. But the Sony wireless lacks 32 bit float, no way to see any battery feedback. So know I finally can switch to DJI❤
I just switched to the DJI Mic 2 and instantly went and ordered the adapter. That's a complete game changer for my workflow. Thanks for the video Chris!
Do u know if Its this adapter compatible with Mic 1?

Does it powers the receiver as well ?
Yes
Don’t forget now you can use the DJI mic and have a 3.5mm shotgun mic attached the the mic in on the cam and have two audio sources
arg, feels like it should be for the DJI Mic 1 as well.
The connectors are physically different unfortunately

Amazing video man! Love it! Definitely upgrading to these mics for this haha
Awesome, btw loving the warm look your doing for the new studio
Thanks man!!
Any cage recommendations that will expose the cold shoe?
I was wondering how you could attach a top handle to this combo?
Is there also a canon version?
Can use with lumix s5iix?
Does this increase the bit rate vs using 3.5 audio jack?
Thanks for the vid ! Can’t find if it works with Sony A7 IV…?
It's literally in the list he is showing. ILCE 7M4
I need it lol ohhh well I guess I have to get the mic 2 now lol 😂 Great video!
is this adapter is compatible with canon?
I'm new to all this, I'm just wondering why can't they just make the receiver bottom the same as the adaptor so I don't have to use a cable or an addition adaptor to make it work...
Does it work with Nikon z8/9?
Adapter power suply?
I think it's the value prop that makes this a gamechanger. It's a nifty thing that's appropriately priced... pretty rare in camera accessories 🤣
Im so confused, how does the dji mic 2 connect to say a nikon z camera??
can the top bit be charged or powered by the camera, or is it something your going to need to constantly take it off the camera to charge it?
HI. Is 32 bit supported with this configuration?
Do the DJI mic 2 have the same problem that the original has when using some lapel mics? They would have a ton of noise while using most mics.
Too bad its not rotatable or switchable
Can you include the link of the Sony models compatibility please. I cannot find on website at all.
I hope the Hollyland make also a little adapter for the Lark Max series.
I don’t even own a DJI mic 2 but I bought one of these adapters as soon as I seen it released. Figured they’d sell like hotcakes and bought one just incase I got the mic 2 in the near future
If you use this adapter and also a cam mounted shotgun mic plugged into mic in on the cam what happens?
i got mine, but when i plug it in, it does not pick up the audio, any ideas? the dji mice shows audio, but on my camera the audio is greyed out, im using an fx3
Is there still a debate about audio quality over the mk1 mics with and without the new lavs ?
Is it possible to use the DJI mic 2 only via bluetooth to the a6700? ( that is without a receiver)
Is there a difference in audio quality when using the adapter vs a 3.5 mm cable
I wonder if its possible to timecode sync through the multi interface shoe? I know the DJI Mic 2 doesn't have timecode anyway, but wouldn't that be something?
great if they can be used it on sony a6000...
Don't they?
i like how this puts more pressure on rode to make something similar but as it stands, id still chose rode over dji
out of the compatible camera list, does anyone have any solid suggestions? A lot of those are in the ball park of like $7,000.

Thanks for the tip on the PDF, as I couldn’t find the info on the dji website.
I had to search for that one hard
Great - but I wish (hope) that Sony will make that interface extension cable available to purchase (instead of hoping for a random one on eBay)). I wonder if it can in fact be ordered as a 'part' from Sony??
Apparently there is ways
Can you record in 24bit or only 16bit?
The cable is super buggy as well ... Mine keeps on malfunctioning and I lose audio right in the middle of a shoot
Hopefully the dji mic 3 has this on the clip already so u dont need an adatper. subtracting a cable but adding an adapter still makes u bring something extra lets hope they make a sony specific dji mic 3 with this already built in.
how about a cold shoe mount for the DJI Mic 2 that doesn't suck.....
This works great
Seems to work for the FX6 as well!
Do you have confirmation for that? Would love to use it with my FX6
Well done Chris. Not seen this anywhere else. Literally is a game changer. Was under the impression only Sony mics would be making the most of the digital interface. Have you done any sound comparisons yet? Assume this is digital to digital interface (like the Sony mics) so skips the DACS?
thanks just ordered from your B & H link
Hope you like it!
I would love if the adapter was a bluetooth receiver for the DJI Mic 2 TX - an even more minimal setup to get audio into the Sony digital shoe... But this adapter is pretty cool.
That would be probably 1 channel and lower audio quality this ships the analog convert and no bt signal so you get full 24bit/48khz into the camera. I am not against bt as a backup method but this at $35 is better.
That last second color grade though
is it possible available for Lumix in futture???
Sure if they make it market size these days i would bet sony then canon and if demands is good other brands that have a digital in on the hotshoe.
Game changer, currently collect money for the mic & adapter
Does anybody know if Rode has made such mounting adaptor for Sony fx3?
wheres the link to the compatability list please
List is in the video
No support for Panasonic Lumix S5iix cameras?! So is a no go for me...
The auto power on/off not working is a massively sad blow.
Wish Nikon or Sony would make the camera Bluetooth able to pair with DJI via Bluetooth to transmit the audio wirelessly
Damnit why doesn’t for the DJI mic 1
🤷🏻♂️
Found my model on you video I just had to pause it. Hahaha. Sony ZV-E10 💪🏽💪🏽
It's a shame that the adaptor does not support camera on/off! But thanks for pointing out.
It's sad that it doesn't work for the Sony zv1 :( I was dumb to buy it without even researching. Well, I guess I now have a stronger case to buy a new camera. 🤣😅🤣
Does this give off any horrible RF noise /interference that the Rode mics can suffer from?
No its a fully digital connection from the receiver to the inside of the sony camera.
@2:52 shocked to see the PRICE 😔
Extremely fair price
Auto Turn Off/On feature is a big dealbreaker for me. Cut the cord but the chances are you are destined to forget to turn on the receiver.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
No FX6 😢
Can you imagine? That would be game changing
@@chrisbrockhurst I would run an extra two channels of wireless at all times if I didn't have to sacrifice an XLR port for it. I don't want the K3M hanging out up there since it's so big
No chance this works on the DJI Mic 1? Looks like there is some aspects in the firmware to account for this.

Thanks for the PSA that this exists! :D
Any time!
Would be amazing if sony could release relocation cable as a separate product for sale.
I’ll definitely consider it when the shipping cost isn’t 50% of the item cost.
Amazon. Free
@@chrisbrockhurst Not yet in Canada. The "included" shipping is just built into the cost for now. It will be a few weeks.
They should make a version for Lumix, but I understand why they started with Sony.
thats cool but i use a cage that blocks my fx3 hot shoe
Uh oh

Contact DJI aftersales support. They should be able to sell any component separately that's not listed.
doesnt do any good for me cause all my cameras are panasonic lumix

That’s one way of looking at it. If you wanna keep the cable you go right ahead, who am I to stop you.
@@chrisbrockhurst who said anything about you trying to stop me? This just doesn't change the amount of things you pack like you said it does.
Yeah, appreciate the mention of the 'cage' (which is how I have my Sony camera setup). But, clearly that's not saving me anything so for me I'm out. Still appreciate the information.
The cage makes everything complicated but also useful. We can’t win
I buy new dji mic 2 how can i use dslr camera?? Cannon??? For recorded
Wondering if anyone tried this with the A7iii ?
im wondering the same - its not listed on the compatibility list - but fx6 isnt either and people claim it still works
Not having it as an upgrade to the first gen feels bullshit tbh. Especially since the first gen already had adapter swapping capabilities.
Aaaaaand my FX3 still has that weird 3.5mm input issue
This fixes that I guess!
RODE pleeeeease do this
Thank God they threw the 6700 in there ;) mine will be here today :)
Wish I would have waited for the Mic 2.... I have the original and don't feel like buying yet another system.
