- DJI OSMO Pocket Adapter: dcra.in/2tV6JAT
My Lav Mic: amzn.to/2VRkhKa
TRRS to TRS Adapter (Rode): amzn.to/2CjMgcL
TRRS to TRS Adapter (cheaper): amzn.to/2CwdWeD
Here's a quick look at the new DJI OSMO Pocket microphone adapter (USB-C to 3.5mm). This is the actual official adapter, since none of the 3rd party USB-C to 3.5mm adapters work at this point. I've tried both the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter as well as the GoPro USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, and no luck. Others have tried generic ones without luck either.
Remember if using a TRRS microphone (such as the unpowered lav mic I was using), you'll need a TRRS to TRS adapter. A TRRS microphone has three black lines on the plug part, whereas a TRS microphone only has two lines. So, if you have three lines, you need the small adapter (plus the DJI USB-C adapter). Whereas if you have a TRS mic, you don't need the additional adapter. Typically speaking powered mics are TRS and thus don't require an adapter, whereas unpowered mics are TRRS are unpowered mics and do require an adapter. Not always, but roughly.
Note for those curious, I also tried the DJI adapter with my USB-C port on my Mac, and it doesn't work (whereas the Apple one does), and I tried it with the GoPro Hero 7, and it doesn't work there either (whereas the GoPro one does). So it appears this is like all other adapters and it's totally manufacturer specific.
Got all that? Phew!

#DJIOSMOPOCKET #OSMOPocket #DJI
Hey folks - DJI finally released the adapter - it's $39, and available on DJI's site (here's a link): dcra.in/2tV6JAT - It says 3-4 weeks for shipping though, but hey, better than nothing.
I just received mine this morning. Mine ended up costing $54 because shipping was $15. If your order is over $50 then you will get free shipping.
@@DavidsFocus Hmm...must be some random DJI parts that are worth another few bucks to push it over and get free shipping + something else.
DC Rainmaker hey since the mic adapter has now been released could you test if it works with the wireless module?
Great! I just got the Pocket 2, this has been very informative.
I just ordered the Osmo Pocket 2 and will keep all this is mind! Thanks
That's good to know. I saw few people filming with their Osmo at the show and was wondering about video quality and sound. Thanks for the video Ray!
Indeed, saw a number of folks around CES as well using them. I think for tradeshows (or even vlogging), it's still a bit too cropped in natively for my liking (too close up), but once I added a small selfie stick/pole to it, it put it in a better spot.
Thank you so much for doing this the right way! I was so frustrated with all the other videos on this subject... All I wanted them to do was just tap the microphone once. :-)
Is there no DJI adapter yet?
I did a bit of a hack to improve audio in the wind while riding. I glued a bit of mic foam over both mic ports to create a windscreen and it seems to work really well and cuts down the wind noise. total hack, but it works.
Awesome! I’ve been waiting for a comparison video between the GoPro 7 and Osmo Pocket. So far nobody has done a very good one. Can’t wait for when you release the video. Keep it up.
Yup, looking forward to covering it from a sport-specific standpoint. I'm definitely converting to it for all my road-bike related video work that I need for the channel. But it's a tougher story for other sports (especially water related ones).
i have comparison video on my chanel DJI vs Gopro 7 vs Sony
I have to disagree, I've seen several comparisons that cover it fairly well. Basically, if you want a wide FOV and/or plan to use it to do sports/action shots, the Gopro wins. For many other filming situations, the stabilization of this thing puts it on top.
Hey folks - thanks for watching! I put a bunch more details on the whole TRRS to TRS adapter bit in the description box. Enjoy!
where u got the DJI adapter( with logo DJI) ? why not put link on description
@@adetfoto he got it from DJI directly for promoting purpose, it's not on the market now, for what we can do now is just waiting.
So glad to see someone review this unit, been waiting for this mic adapter to finally be released, love my pocket I use it as a second camera with my Panasonic ux180.
You must be the first to get your hands on this adapter. I ordered another cheap (55 cents) adapter from China where they claim it's going to work. Will see about that. Even 19 EUR would be way too much for a piece of plastic like that. Thanks for the great comparison and review.
Would definitely be curious to see if it works for sure! I suspect once the DJI adapters start shipping, I'm sure we'll see others that become compatible quickly. Though, that never actually happened for the GoPro adapter. :-/
I have been reading your incredible and comprehensive reviews online for more years than I'd like to admit, so glad I stumbled across your channel here and just like your review on your website you do not disappoint.
Great review on this Osmo Pocket Mic adapter very detailed and to the point without missing a thing, saved me a lot of time and probably money. Thanks!!
I think myself to be somewhat tech savvy and yes I should know about TRRS & TRS......let's put it this way, after watching your video I now know why the microphone for my GoPro doesn't work.
Thanks man!
Nice to see at least there are working samples floating around now. Still do not understand why the adapter is so long, personally I would have preferred they made it the same width size as the pocket (more cubed) but shorter. Looks like it could easily get broke or pulled out since there is just a small portion of the adapter going into the USB-C port.
Ideally if it was like Wireless adapter with same USB-C tip, tripod mount on bottom and the mic input on either the sides or the back (so you could still stand up the OSMO Pocket) like you can with the WL adapter since the cord comes out the back. It would be one accessory that would solve a few things. Or just add the Mic input and tripod mount to the wireless adapter as an all in one solution.
Nice! As soon as I got my Osmo Pocket, I got a cheap adapter - obviously it didn't work, but until now it's the most watched video on my channel. :-) Luckily my husband reminded me to do the tap-test while I was filming. Can't wait for adapters to work/the legit one to be sold.
I appreciate very much you made this video, I just got an Osmo Pocket for my TH-cam Channel and have been looking for alternatives to the audio Quality, yours is the most honest revision I found so far. Thanks.
Great video, and great to see proof that you can do a mic. The built-in one isn't impressive. Usable, but not impressive.
Thanks for this one Ray! I know it's not the norm but it's great to see your impressions since you are a power user of this gear.
Thanks Chris!
Thank you for this, it is so helpful for someone new to all of this (me!). I am about to upgrade to the Pocket after just using an old phone and dji gimbal for my channel. Noise on the phone mic is a major problem and this seems to be a good way around it. I don't want to make expensive mistakes!
Thanks for the video, very helpful, I got the accessory kit and I must admit I could use the audio adapter, hopefully that will be out soon. Kudos and thanks again
Thanks DC, you could make a video of how to bath a cat and i'd probably watch it, all good stuff...
Thaaaanks for you video, man!!! Now i ordered my Osmo Pocket with a Rode Mic and the TRRS Adapter! The Problem with the sound is solved now, i think! The cam is great and the sound now too! Thanks again!
I liked the sound Un connected. Louder and crisper.
Finally. Need this ASAP
Thanks for this. Looking to build my first vlogging to for cycling so this was super helpful
Good review! Looking forward to availability of the adapter.
Not only DJI charges you a premium for what is a cheap piece of plastic and makes it impossible to use a third party equivalent adapter but, at least outside of the USA this item is impossible to find. I even managed to buy it from a local reseller, I am in the UK, to be told the day before delivery (a good three weeks after I ordered it) that it was out of stock and would not be back in stock for another month at least. Furthermore, two-three days later, I received a stock reminder by DJI (as I had registered with their service before finding out that a UK reseller had one in stock) that the item was back in stock. Nevertheless, when I tried to buy it from their store (I received the reminder at 11.30pm and I saw the email only two hours later when I tried to buy it from their online store) I could not buy it and customer service told me that it was out of stock and tried to convince me to buy it from an American resellers for close to double its price (plus possible import tax by UK customs).
Thanx very much for this demonstration!
You Rock man! Absolutely great production and detailed review!!
Tapping the mic gets you all the subs and likes.
Love the vid! Thanks for the audio test
Hello, can you please provide me with the link for the adapter so I can buy it
Look forward to the comparison
Thank you. I have been raving them to tap. I knew it wasn’t working.
Whoa that mic adapter looks like a proper mic adapter and not a massive brick like GoPro!! Stupid GoPro I want for them to succeed but they make it hard
An absolutely insane design, so easy to damage the usb-c port, it should have been right angled.
thank you for the review, very helpful!
Thanks for sharing this
Nice one. Can't wait to get the mic adapter.
Just received the wifi module and this is working great!
NIce! I got the WiFi module as well, gotta take it out of the box tomorrow. Came in last week when I was at CES.
Ok, so just tried the wireless module. Oddly, it doesn't seem to work with the USB-C adapter for the mic. It just keeps using the internal mics. I suspect that could well be a pre-production bug since the USB-C mic adapter isn't shipping yet.
Hmmm Let's hope that its a pre-production bug and that DJI will solve it before they start selling them.
If not... I'll still get the adapter :-)
Thank you for testing things!!
Thank you for this important review on that Osmo Pocket microphone issue. When will the adapter finally be released though?
Don't know yet. Sending them another e-mail today to see what the latest is.
@@Dcrainmaker Awesome, thank you for your fast reply and the extra question to DJI. I bet a lot of people are waiting for this answer. :)
Thank you for this review. Can you please review the DJI MIC wireless pods? I wish to use this system on my iphone . Thanks
sounds great. i wish rode would make the video mic me L for usb C and osmo would allow to connect directly at the port :D. maybe a mic which can swivel around, so you can pick up sound from yourself or an interview partner... well i am dreaming
Hey. Thanks for the super clear summary. Have you anything more from DJI about when the DJI adapter is hitting the market?
Yes is the adapter available yet or not? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
I tweeted DJI in hopes of some indication of an ETA but nothing yet. I'm looking at this camera for work for ease of use, but if we can't get proper audio from a lapel mic it's a no-go.
Nothing yet unfortunately :( I’ll ping the media folks again and see if I can get a date.
@@Dcrainmaker Thanks. I have a H4N so I can keep using that for the time being. It just means I've got to sync up my audio afterwards.
I’m not savvy on fiscal quarters, but one video suggested that we should start seeing the other DJI accessories “sometime in quarter 2”.
When I use the Rode SmartLav+ mic with the Osmo Pocket, set to high audio gain, the audio peaks at -30db in Premiere Pro. Is this normal?
Thanks...i have been wasting time and money on adapters for the pocket.
Hey man great review. Just a quick question where did you get that DJI mic dongle from lolz
Thanks for making this video!
I really want that adapter but I'm guessing it'll cost $50 or something
I don't care about the price, I want it before may 2, my pct start date. Shh...
Turns out you were close - $39 - dcra.in/2tV6JAT - could be worse I suppose.
@@Dcrainmaker it couldn't be worse mate. The price is madness 😮
iamcolinedwards the GoPro adapter is $60 and the size of a Twinkie. Worse is all relative. 🤫
Hi, thanks for taking the time to put this together for us. Just to be clear, in order to use the Rode smartLav+ Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone we need the Rode SC3 3.5mm TRRS to TRS Cable Adaptor AND the Osmo Pocket 3.5mm Adapter? This is the setup you recommend? Thanks again and best wishes to you.
Correct, you need both for the SmartLav+, due to the fact that it's originally designed for smartphones instead of cameras.
@@Dcrainmaker do you mind telling me the reason for using this microphone instead of using one that wouldn't require the adapter? Thanks!
@@BestFavorite I happen to use this one the most simply because I also use it with my smartphone a lot when I'm not using the Pocket OSMO. There's tons of other mics out there though, so I wouldn't necessarily box yourself into a corner on this one.
Hope they release a USB C microphone a bit like the RODE VMML, it's too messy to carry a bunch of extra stuff to improve the audio quality.
This was really helpful! Thanks. Can you mention what lav mic you used. And, do you know of a double set-up lav mic you'd recommend? Thanks!!!!!
Thanks for the review, you got my thumbs up ;)
May I ask what wind protection you used for the mic in the bike scene?
I did a test with two Sennheiser lavalier mics and they both sounded pretty bad. So I tried the rode you use in this video and it works much better. Any ideas why?
Wish they would have put a mic jack on the wireless adapter, and hope the extension stick has a jack.
As well wish they had all or most the accessories available at time of release or at least with in that first week.
Given if any one got it at time of release needed most them and would like to try them to make sure this is something that works for them.
And you only have so much time to return it if not what you're looking for it to do.
That'd have been ideal - or, just having the mic adapter straight on the unit itself. Given the micro-sd card slot isn't waterproofed (or even covered), adding another non-waterproof port is no biggie.
Does anyone know if this’ll work with a splitter cable? To charge and have audio at the same time.. has anyone tried this?
Adapter is so big!
Are the build in microphones still working when the adapter is used?
If the build in is disabled then it defeats the use when you want to do a vlog where you want to interview someone.
The adapter is actually the smallest USB-C to 3.5mm mic adapter on the market from any major companies that I'm aware of. It disables the internal mics when you use the external microphone port. So you'll only get the mic audio recorded. That's pretty much the norm on all cameras. If you wanted to record multiple people in an interview, you could use other external mics that are better for that (or, even dual-channel it into the OSMO Pocket).
I thought external mic would make things better, but from the comparison I just heard... the sound was actually better without the external mic! Correct me if I'm wrong or missed something!
I noticed that there is less low end in the internal mic I thought the external was much better and les ambient.
cool thx DC
Great vid mate! Very informative :)
Thanks for the helpful video! What is the lav mic you're using?
Interesting so it isn’t a firmware upgrade that’s needed - it’s internal proprietary electronics in the adaptor. Be interesting to see how full blown professional powered mics would work - the uk Tasman 10cs recorders I have have a passthrough and are small enough for portability. All everyone needs now is for the Cine-D back in the firmware and that is a viable tool for ‘some’ professional filming. Also be interested how something like the mymyk+ could handle dual mics into it. Up to now I’ve been using dual sound so this should solve a lot of problems.
Correct - no firmware needed. Unfortunately aside from a few other random Rode mics and some prosumer wireless lavs, I don't have much else higher end. I'd love to see a V2 of the Pocket include a slightly wider lens, and then Cine-D or like on it. Though, can't imagine what prices might do...
*I'm getting royally fedup with the lack of availability of ANY accessories* from DJI for the OSMO Pocket here in *Canada !* I love the excellent quality and build of DJI products, but I am *disgusted and generally frustrated with this company's disrespect toward it's customers !* We *Still* cannot get *the external microphone adaptor* and many of us are getting *really tired of waiting here in Canada for the availability of DJI accessories !* DJI *please stop disrespecting your customers !*
That mic adapter is great! Are you haveing focus issues on it as I am? Hoping to run with it for the Houston Marathon but the reliability of the focus is frustrating.
Thank you for this video! It was very useful.
What is that place where you were riding a bike? Looks gorgeous!
I have bought a Osmo Pocket 3 , but it cannot be conectet to the røde Mike with the adapter ? do you know somthing buy thaT ???? BESTREGARD FOR NEW YEAR 2024 SØREN COLDING
dji.com has finally added the Osmo 3.5mm adapter to their accessory page for email alert of when it gets in stock.
You mentioned that someone may need a trrs to trs cable. How is the Osmo connector situated? Is it situated for 2 rings or three? Do you know when it will be available? Nice video by the way.
Nice video bro.. very informative and done it in detail.. so where can I buy the mic adapter
or where can I steal one lol
I also want to use the Osmo Pocket on a show floor but I'll be doing interviews and product walk-throughs with reps. In the case where I need to record a person, and not myself for selfies, do you have a rig recommendation? I am happy to buy and mount a directional mic but I am not sure the best way. It'd be great if DJI made a USB mic that plugged directly in the port and just stuck out a bit. Like you, I'd like to avoid using my phone attached if I can.
@DC Rainmaker. Thanks for clearing that out. When will we see a full review of the Osmo Pocket from you? I find it hard to trust a lot of the reviewers and I always go and check out your reviews before buying a new gadget.
Hoping to get it out next week. I had wanted to have it out this week, but honestly, just a bit backlogged on a few other things that have to go out first this week. Cheers!
@@Dcrainmaker . Any idea when you will be posting the full review?
The Osmo starting price is excellent but the price of accessories puts it in a different category. And I consider the accessories to be necessary. Maybe next black Friday will have a more affordable package. A bit like the combo packages on the DJI drones.
I definitely agree, to me the OSMO Pocket feels a bit like a sales/market test. Specifically, with how much 'de-bundling' (as they call it in the airline industry) they can get away with. Features like WiFi or Bluetooth that should absolutely be in the package, but somehow aren't. I love the unit, and honestly don't miss the connectivity a ton - but still, everything on it is an odd upsell. More so than usual for DJI.
Same problem with the Hawkeye firefly 8SE action cam. Hard to find a suitable jack to use and alternative Mic that has a 3.5mm jack. Firefly supply a USB lavalier microphone for use with their camera but I gave up trying to find an adapter to allow me to use my RODE videomic with it.
Does anyone know why, even months later, the availability of the microphone adapter is still so poor? DJI says they will ship in 10-15 days after payment clears. That means you are looking at over 3 weeks to receive it, best case scenario. B&H sends me an update every 2 weeks to say they still don't have stock. There are a few eBay listings from Chinese sellers - again, 2-3 weeks to arrive, best case.
But why is this adaptor so long? Seems to me they could have manufactured something a bit shorter?
Thanks for the fab update, are all of the current mic videos really fake? Cheers
Indeed, it's really nuts how many of them are fake. Most of them are click-bait titles and then sometimes they say it didn't work. Then the remainder it takes a bunch of folks in the comments to point out it didn't work.
DC Rainmaker Crazy isn’t it, it’s all about the views for some. I can always trust your reviews 👍🏼
Any video claiming it works and using any other adaptor is fake.
Not all 3.5mm Jack's have both out put and input, people buy adapters that only have the output.
Will you do a review of DJI Pocket 2?
I notice there's like a "cooldown" once you plugin the mic while recording. Like the levels adjust for a moment and not instantly.
Layperson question: why can't lapel mic just be wireless bluetooth?
Like the mic on Airpods or any other wireless headphones you can answer calls with. I mean, it's supposed to be portable and the whole wire mic situation is an ugly solution.
Yeah, the main issue is size and transmitter distance. Things like Airports and other wireless ear/headphones are super small - but they only have to receive signals up to about 1-meter. If you go beyond that, usually it starts dropping connection. With a wireless lav mic type setup, people would expect min 3 meters, sometimes more. That's gonna be tough from a power draw standpoint today without getting bigger.
we need link for the adapter
Thanks Ray nice video...ever thought about making a video on Compex electro stimulation devices?
Thanks! Yeah, my challenge with those type of devices is I feel in order to review them properly I'd need to have a super structured schedule with consistent (progressive) load being applied each week. Else there's just too many variables. For me right now, I'm consistently doing something each day, but what I do sorta goes with the wind. :-/
@@Dcrainmaker Fair enough, BTW should you be around Brussels or Antwerp one of these days do not hesitate to make a sign, I would love to share a run and perhaps help you trying one of those cool gadgets !?
If you use the Do It Hall Hanlle, can you get around the need to use the adapter?
...and it's a 2 channel device, so it should be good for xy and m/s stereo.
Can you confirm that it can be plugged into android, AND the mic after will work out of the bottom ( meaning I can use the phone brace with hot shoe mount, plug in osmo pocket to phone, plug in mic adapter and put mic in the hot shoe adapter on the top)? Aka full on vlog kit...on other things when its plugged into android the bottom port stops working, that'd why in concerned?
I am waiting for 2 months in thailand and yet the product is not available cant find it at all . Dji marketing is so bad cant find any accessories
Além desse microfone que já vem com ela, tenho como colocar lapela? Pq preciso de 2.
Se tem como, qual e como você recomenda por? Pq pelo que vi os adaptadores que vem com a câmera é tipo macho, porém na lapela q quero, também são entradas macho e eu precisaria de entradas fêmeas e não encontro. Tô perdida!
Tá sendo minha maior dificuldade até então por não saber também se usando o adaptador a câmera vai reconhecer... :(
Hi i have a question plz, this adapter from dji, does it work with gopro 7, thanks
No, sadly no compatibility between them (I tried).
@@Dcrainmaker does it work with osmo action? anyone knows?
Very useful review. Thank you! Have you found that you need a dead cat on your lav mike when riding outside? And were you using one in this video? The sound quality on the bike was great and I didn't hear any wind noise.
No dead-cat on the mic at all. Just straight-up Rode SmartLav+ mic as-is: amzn.to/2W76dwr
DC Rainmaker thanks! That's pretty impressive as you were in some windy conditions.
Who do you get this adapter i found nothing in the internet.
Fantastic video and great insight... do you have any advice on what would be needed to connect an external 3.5mm tie mic to an Apple USB C iPad Pro 2018? Thx
Yup, you can use Apple's own USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. I tried it and it works just fine (with Apple products). Enjoy!
Massive thanks!! This solution works perfectly.
Would you know if a Rode mic work when I attach it to a Samsung Note 10?
I need to have the osmo on a stand, but I can't connect the mic with the tripod I have. Is there another tripod where I can still connect the mic to the bottom of the osmo?
since it's not out yet to buy, where can I steal one lol
Plugging in turns the adapter
Into a LEVER that sticks out too far
Making accidental damage more likely.
There seems to be a little delay with the video and audio syncing. Is that because of the adapter, or another issue?
Hey, I love your video. Do we have any more information about when the adapter will still be here. I'm in China and it hasn't even appeared here yet!
Yup - a mere 2 hours after you hit post on your comment: dcra.in/2tV6JAT - Enjoy!
I'm guessing the adapter is incompatible with their tripod accessory?
How to mount the pocket on a vertical mini tripod with that 3.5mm adapter on ? do you need any kind of additional plate ?
Excellent video. I can't wait for it to become available - like you I have bought all the overpriced accessories though still waiting for delivery...... As a gimble camera I find it great except in low light.
Dude, add some sound dampening material in that room. Just because your using a lab mic doesn’t mean you’re getting quality sound.
Can you use the mic adapter and a powerbank at the same time some how??
Hello, what usb-c adapter are you using ?
I've tested with some usb adapter and it's not working for me
