Now that it's 5 months later - lol, I'm getting the 5 for the same use (helmet chin mount), but for better audio, cheaper, and a smaller mic, I'm just going to run a lav mic directly into the camera, turn route the mic in front of my mouth. I'm still undecided on the mic2. It's got some advantages and disadvantages vs the Rode. Want to make sure I'm hearing the latest sound samples of the mic2 w/the firmware update. Also want to make sure I'm hearing it w/ the low-pass filter off. This is all because in the comparisons I heard 4-8 mos ago, the Rode Pro was not just a little, but MUCH better sounding. It was fuller, richer, and crisper on the top-end.
One question: is the DJI mic 2 connected to the DJI camera all the time? When using the camera in the one click function, are the two devices always connected? Or do I have to pair them every time? Thanks
I appreciate the noise canceling. Just wish there was an additional option to select Low, Medium or High noise cancellation in addition to the intelligent mode.
Mike 2 I got with pocket 3 then post action 4 update linked now seamlessly with both. I’d bought the Mike 1 with charging case etc not that long ago. I don’t blog much on my channel and the single Mike time wise / battery wise works effortlessly for the mean time so covers my needs. As you say the Mike 2 set up is truly a game changer 😊
Great review Tamara. I have the mic 2 with the pocket 3 and pairing it to the action 4 was so easy. Game changer. DJI are smashing it especially for anyone travelling who doesn’t want loads of big hefty gear. Pocket 3, Osmo 4 and mini 4 pro and you have everything you could possibly need in a small package 👍🏻
Funny, when I received my lone Mic 2 transmitter shipment today, I thought something was wrong because it seemed nothing was in the box. Online it seemed larger so I instantly thought they forgot to put it in the box! LOL Turns out it’s just so small than I thought, can’t wait to really use it like intended! Thanks again! You’re Awesome!
This is the BEST video on the Mic 2, PERIOD. I'm waiting on my single mic to arrive, (the $99) , because I want to use it for smartphones only. But I have a question. If I pick up the 1 mic and 1 transmitter option, does the transmitter have a mic too? Thanks.
Can't believe it took this long for a combination like this arrive in the market. Have been struggling with audio quality on all my past action cams. I'm gonna buy them both.
As an Osmo Pocket 3 owner, I feel a little screwed that DJI doesn't sell the Mic 2 as a single mic kit with the charging case. If you buy the single mic bundle, they give you a stupid little pouch and charging cable. Also, I wonder how many of the Mic 2's can connect to the Osmo Pocket 3 internally via bluetooth. Great video and I'm definitely getting the 2 mic set, so I guess I'll have 3 mics all together.
Hi man, just wanted to know all the setting that you are using, i used noice cancellation on -8 gain, and low cut on, but it sounded muffled, can you help please
@@TheExtrographer03 i use -12 gain, led off, vibration off, audio to video on, low cut off, 32 bit mic float on. Also got the transmitter firmware updated. works great for me
Tamara, let me know if I'm right. The advantage of the Osmo 4 over the DJI Mic 2 is its integration via Bluetooth, right? Because I was thinking here and using it together with the Osmo Action 3 I could simply record normally on both devices (without using cables) and then synchronize it in my video editor. Why do I say this? Well, firstly for the price, by buying the OSMO 3 + DJI Mic 2 I would save a few dollars... Another interesting fact is that I could record the audio from the Osmo 3 and also from the Mic 2 so that, if there is no wind, use the ambient audio generated by the Osmo 3 together with the audio generated by the Mic 2... In the case of the Osmo 4, if I connect it via Bluetooth, I would have 2 identical audios, both in the Osmo 4 video and in the backup audio generated by Mic 2... Am I right in my thinking? I did some math here and the Osmo 3 Adv + 1 Mic 2 is costing 400 usd.. An Osmo 4 + 1 Mic 2 is costing 469 usd... in other words, the Osmo 4 Adv alone costs 369, only 30 usd less than the Osmo Kit 3 + 1 Mic 2. What do you think?
How are you getting such a great quality with tiny camera like this ? Are you shooting D log? If so isn’t it much work? Are you shoot D log automatic??
How does the Bluetooth handle distance? How far from the camrera can you get before Bluetooth signal drops? Another informative and enjoyable watch Ms. Tamara. After much research on the A4, the OP3, and I360 AP, I decided that the Insta 360 Ace Pro would be best for my vlogging style. It's supposed to be here tomorrow. I'm a little apprehensive about leaving the GoPro ecosystem but dealing with "Thumbscrew Syndrome" since the Hero 5, and unexplainable powering off of the GP 12 during recordings, I think I'll be okay with decision and will make the necessary adjustments. I will be using, or attemptinjg to use, my TOSICAM Mailada Wireless Lavalier Microphone System with the I360 AP. I haven't seen any videos on that compatibility. 💜
Brilliant! You have solved my action cam + mic dilemma. Didn't want to shell out on a Pocket 3 for the mic when Action 4 is the best all round fit for my vlogging style and now that i can add bluetooth Mic 2, sorted.
Mate, was one of your issues with the pocket 3 the background blur? It looks nice, but I feel like some vlogs are better when you can see everything in the background clearly. More interesting. And the quicker turning speeds with the action cams, which you can't do with gimbals. We on the same page?
@@l337z0r Exactly this. Pocket 3 is a great lil cam but any gimbal will stutter from fast movement plus I don't care for the background blur and associated focus hunting in/out. It's superb in low light but my Vivo X70 Pro+ is equal in that regard. Thus with Mic 2 now launched, I will go with Action 4 + Mic 2 + my phone (and upgrade to Vivo X100 Pro+ when it launches, love these phones, Zeiss lens, 1" sensor etc, blows away iPhone particularly in low light). Cheers!
I have a question. Does the DJI MIC2 RX connect wirelessly to DJI Action 4? Maybe I need to describe the flow because I want to use 2 mics. DJI Action 4 < ---- > DJI MIC2 RX base cold mounted. ( Wireless Connection ) -------> x 2 DJI mics ( 2 person interview )
I love my Osmo Action 4 but I have to disagree here. Unless you are planning on walking kind of far away from the camera when filming, you do not need any external microphone. The microphones built into the Osmo are incredible ! They pick up sound very clear. I filmed a kayak seminar, the speaker was about 20 feet from me and his voice comes through so loud and clear ! I can't say enough good about this camera's audio.
I’d have to disagree. While you might not always need an external mic, if it’s windy and you want the cleanest audio, then you will want one. Also in areas where there is a lot of ambient sounds too. But that’s just my experience.
You showed how to pair with the Action 4. How does it work when you want to use the receiver again? Does it auto-connect, or do you have to ‘re-pair’ with the RX?
Tamara...thank you *SO* much for the great job you do with your videos. I just got a DJI Osmo Action 4 with the MIC 2 and Osmo Action Remote Controller and your material has been so useful. Keep up the great work!!
Hi Tamara! Thanks so much for this video. You def answered my question about the receiver towards the end of your video. I will primarily use the osmo action 4 w/ the mic 2 for motocross videos and I wanted the mic 2 for sure...but now I think I'll get the receiver too, in case I want to do a video with more than one person. Appreciate it!
Tamara,.,, this is exactly what i was needing... I have the Pocket 3 and Action 4 but was wondering about the DJI Mic 2 to see if it would function with both cameras.... very clear content, clear audio and awesome video.... well done and thank you so much
Thank you for your detailed review. I have an action 3, but for moto vlog, its internal mic is not the best… (camera not waterproof anymore, the receiver is a bit problematic to connect to the camera etc. ) For me, the best option is a full wireless microphone, but action 3 not support this, so I thought I sell the action 3 and buy a 4. I didn’t know the mic also records audio simultaneously if the action 4 is also record it, but in this video, it was explained. The best thing is that the mic2 is also available without a receiver, for me the receiver is not necessary now to use it with action 4 or a mobile phone. I thought I order an rx now, but in eu its out of stock :/
Tamara, why doesn't DJI offer 1 TX, 1 RX and case for those of us who bought the Pocket 3...Where is the option package for those of us who already own 1 TX? I have to buy the 2 TX package because I need 3 microphones??? Could you please raise your voice and bring some light to this issue. They could easily have done it. But I don't see it on their website. Thanks so much. love the channel!
Tamara, thanks for the heads-up on the DJI Mic 2. I'm thinking I'll opt for the separate transmitter kit since I can use my DJI Mic 1 kit in the event I need multiple mics to record on my Action 4. And the $99 price tag is a whole lot better for my budget.
10min ago I was about to order the Action 4 with the Mic 2 for the same use...but luckily she said, there is only one mic working....now I need to hope for an update and wait :(
@honestnerd I place one mic under the helmet to record my voice for vlogging, the other mic in my backpack to record the exhaust sound. Each records one mono audio line (left/right). This way I can combine both to a in overall much more better sound. That´s because usually when motovlogging with one mic in your helmet, you can hear only your voice, in worst case with really nasty wind noices in the background. In my case I can kind of "replace" the wind noices, because you hear the exhaust instead. Also I can get way more creative in editing Videos. For example I can decide (even while I´m out driving) when I want to record only the driving or the landscape, and I always have a nice and clean sound of the bike. So when I´m having a good day riding my bike, I just turn my mics on and I record whatever I want during the day, without changing something. I just hit the record button of my cam whenever I want....and decide while riding OR afterwards , if it is going to be more a "motovloggy" video, more just riding, or a combination. Sry I hope you can understand, english is not my native language :)
Great video..I like the awesome color correcting you're doing. BUT...what i find with these mics during outdoor use...is that it makes the sound too sterile. For instance in the. beginning of the video, as your walking down the street and talking, your voice sounds like it's in a sound booth or something. There's no ambience. I don't know if that's the mic doing that or if in post you may be a little heavy on the voice isolation software setting.
Great video, and very quick of the mark! So, you are not able to use both mics wirelessly with the DJI Action 4 and still require the transceiver? Does the transceiver still need to be connected to the Action 4 via USB? Nice village by the way 👍
Great review, Thank you. Is the battery run time you mentioned continuous use or do you get the mentioned run time when recharging the mics from the case. I am curious what the mic continuous run time is prior to recharging it ?
Have you tried using the new DJI Lavalier mic? I'm wondering how it compares, using the Mic2 directly, compared with using it through the DJI Lavalier mic.
Thanks for the video, Tamara. Just had to check this out before going to the store to buy one. Wasn't sure if just a Mic 2 -transmitter would work with the Action 4 but most obviously it does. Great stuff as usual, thanks again.
Fantastic review! So, if I buy the DJI Mic 2 with the Receiver and two Transmitters, how do I connect it to my DJI Action 4? Do I just connect the DJI Receiver to the side of my Action 4 via the USB-C interface, and the Action 4 will pickup audio from both Transmitters in my recorded video footage?
Really good informative video. I use a go pro 12 and am looking for a microphone, go pros seem like a nightmare to use an external mic. With the osmo 5 coming out the 4 has dropped in price. Going to go for the 4 and mic 2 thanks to your video. Thanks very much. 😊
I’m new to making videos. I have a Pocket 2 and an Insta360 Flow for my iPhone Pro Max 15. I’m going to be bringing these with me on the Camino de Santiago (hiking trail). With weight and cost in mind, what would you choose to use? I was just looking at the wireless microphone from Hohem.
I appreciate the detailed info about this mic, I was not quite sure I wanted to get one but after watching this i'm sure I need one for my gear bag. Also, I have a question for you, is all your B-roll footage in this video shot with the action 4 as well or another camera?
All the footage that isn’t product shots of the mic and camera was shot on the Action 4, so anything where I’m walking around outdoors or showing outdoor footage. The other shots were with the Sony A7s III and Zeiss Batis 40mm CF.
I have a dilemma and I’m debating whether to buy the mic 2. I’m not using it for vlogging as such, but would use it for cycling videos and capture conversation with others whilst riding. Would the mic 2 be an upgrade? Would it capture and improve Audio over the Osmo4?
If you’re going to be cycling I’d imagine you might get quite some wind hitting the Action 4 (depending on how fast you’re going), but even if cycling slow-ish, if it’s a windy day having the Mic 2 with the windshield will improve the audio quite a lot.
I'm waiting to receive my Action 4 + Mic 2 TX and your video answered my question about changing mic settings without receiver since I didn't purchase it. Thanks for your informative work
I'm wondering if the Action 4 camera gives me the ability to change all settings on a Mic 2 transmitter (32 bit float, low cut filter, etc) , without a Mic 2 receiver. I want to make sure that when I modify any settings via the Action 4 camera, those settings stay that way on the transmitter, even if I later use the transmitter on it's own without the Action 4? That would allow me to just by an individual transmitter, without the reciever. I'm trying to decide whether I can buy just the transmitters without the receiver, and use my Action 4 to basically get full functionality out of the transmitters, apply settings I want, and then use the transmitters as standalone onboard recording. Thanks!
Thanks for the details of mic 2 Wanted to know does this immediately get paired with the mic2 and start recording When we press the record button the camera via quick action button when it’s off
I'm guessing the Mic 2 cannot record stereo from a stereo microphone connected to its 3.5mm input? I have a decent Audio Technica stereo mic that I have been trying to make work with the Pocket 2/ Action 4. Unfortunately no stereo solution so far
Excellant video, was looking into a pocket 3 but i think think if i upgrade my action 3 to the action 4 and microphone kit this would be better for me along with a gimbal
Hi 👋 great video like always 😊 i wounder if the mic 2 can connect to the gen 1 receiver? I will get my pocket 3 combo tomorrow and i have the gen 1 mic and receiver already. If i need 2 mics can i connect the mic 1 and 2 to the gen 1 receiver? Keep up the good work ❤
Arrgh this DJI mic 2 is so incredible with my Osmo Pocket 3 that I think I will buy the Action 4 for my fast mouvement movies :) Or maybe I will wiat for the Action 5 , do you have an idea when it could be released and what could we wait for this version 5? :) Cheers and thnaks from France! Michael
does it start recording the audio in the mic, as soon as I hit the quick capture button, the OA4 is in shut down mode prior to hitting the quick capture button.
Great Vid. Is it possible to use the Mic 2 with 2 x Osmo Action 4's. So 1 mic recording from each Osmo Action independantly, the other the same ???? please.
Hi Tamara, i have a question. I already have the DJI Mic 1 with the receiver. I'm planning to get one DJI mic 2 transmitter. Do you know if the DJI Mic 2 transmitter can be connected to the DJI mic 1 receiver?
Really great review, I was searching for this setting if the DJI Mic 2 could turn on when I start recording with my DJI Action 4 before buying it. Thanks :)
@@TamaraGabrielUK The DJI Mic 2 could stay in sleep mode and be awaken when you press the record button on the DJI Action 4 ? The 6h of battery life is when recording right ?
Great review, thank you for all information. May I ask I want to use this for my motorcycle trips and I want one mic to record my voice in my helmet, and with the 2nd mic to record engine sound. You said Osmo action 4 only connects one transmitter via wireless, so that's bad for me. But if I buy 2 tx + 1 rx package, can I pair osmo action 4 with receiver by wireless to record video with 2 mics audio included at same time?
Hi Tamara, great video! Thank you, i’ve a question for you, i’ve already have an action 4, and just ordered the single transmitter (black one) for sure i’ll use it paired with the OA4 but i’d like to use it even when i use my canon mirrorless camera as an external recorder(syncing the audio in post). The question is, if i setup the mic 2 transmitter on action 4 (gain, 32float, noise canc and so on) then switch off the action 4, will the transmitter maintain the settings? Thanks in advance cheers from Roma Italy
@@TamaraGabrielUK Damn, that sucks. I only have the action 3, and like you said, losing the waterproof quality of this camera kinda defeats the purpose. Hopefully the action 5 will come out soon. Do you think it will work without the transmitter on that? Also 1 more question. Do you think the dji mic 2 is decent for recording ambient sound in nature? I might also use it for my sony rx10iv.
I'd assume that the mic would work the same for the future Action 5 as it does for the Action 4, via direct Bluetooth connection with the transmitter alone. The Mic 2 would be a decent choice for ambient sounds. There are dedicated mics for that, but if you want the versatility to use it in other scenarios then it would do the job.
🤯Had no idea that you could use the DJI Mic 2 with Action 4 without a separate receiver! I thought this was just the new Pocket 3. Then when you told us we can use the Mic 2 with iPhone via Bluetooth, me head blew off. Now, if I can just find a VFM gimbal that I can use with Action 4 AND my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’ve got all my bases covered 🫶
That audio video sync feature is brilliant. Do the mic and camera boot at the same speed do you know? If I start recording is the mic ready to go or is there a couple of seconds pause? I rode dirt bikes so hit record and when I see the light I start talking.
📄 These are the settings I use with my Osmo Action 4 geni.us/878R

You've got a great voice for vlogs. Not just the accent but the smoothness and softness of your voice sounds good through the mic.
Thank you 😊
This is a game changer for my motorcycle vlogs, having bought the Action 4 for my helmet I have ordered a single Mic 2 to pair for commentary👍
Is it easily installable inside the helmet?

So when I´m having a good day riding my bike, I just turn my mics on and I record whatever I want during the day, without changing something. I just hit the record button of my cam whenever I want....and decide while riding OR afterwards , if it is going to be more a "motovloggy" video, more just riding, or a combination.
Sry I hope you can understand, english is not my native language :)
you can use two audio source with oa4 setup, if you use 1 of them standalone, but you have to post process later to add the second audio to the video
@TheTomy03ful Yeah, that’s a good solution.
@honestnerd umm lol, there are 2 people. Dang!
So first question…..can you use the mic 2 Bluetooth feature on the GoPro 12 as well? I love your British accent btw lol
Great video..I like the awesome color correcting you're doing. BUT...what i find with these mics during outdoor use...is that it makes the sound too sterile. For instance in the. beginning of the video, as your walking down the street and talking, your voice sounds like it's in a sound booth or something. There's no ambience.
I don't know if that's the mic doing that or if in post you may be a little heavy on the voice isolation software setting.
Wait. Whaaat. Can this be paired with a GoPro 12? This is a great setup for vlogging
Great video, and very quick of the mark! So, you are not able to use both mics wirelessly with the DJI Action 4 and still require the transceiver? Does the transceiver still need to be connected to the Action 4 via USB? Nice village by the way 👍
Love the vibe of your video! Great work!
Thanks!
Great review, Thank you. Is the battery run time you mentioned continuous use or do you get the mentioned run time when recharging the mics from the case. I am curious what the mic continuous run time is prior to recharging it ?
Have you tried using the new DJI Lavalier mic? I'm wondering how it compares, using the Mic2 directly, compared with using it through the DJI Lavalier mic.
Thanks for the video, Tamara. Just had to check this out before going to the store to buy one.
Wasn't sure if just a Mic 2 -transmitter would work with the Action 4 but most obviously it does.
Great stuff as usual, thanks again.
quite cool video! 👌.. just one more thing: the pairing button lets you start/stop the cam if connected via blutooth. 😉
Fantastic review! So, if I buy the DJI Mic 2 with the Receiver and two Transmitters, how do I connect it to my DJI Action 4? Do I just connect the DJI Receiver to the side of my Action 4 via the USB-C interface, and the Action 4 will pickup audio from both Transmitters in my recorded video footage?
Exactly. But make sure you plug the receiver in facing towards the back of the camera or you’ll see it in your shot.
Really good informative video. I use a go pro 12 and am looking for a microphone, go pros seem like a nightmare to use an external mic. With the osmo 5 coming out the 4 has dropped in price. Going to go for the 4 and mic 2 thanks to your video. Thanks very much. 😊
Hi Tamara. Could you please confirm if it is compatible with pocket 2 and action 3?
Thank you.
I'm curious - What gain setting for volume are you using with this mic for both the A4 and P3?
Nice video.
Great features from DJI as usual.
DJI, if you’re reading this, can I swap my less than a year old DJI wireless mic for this? ☺️
Amazing quality on this video! Can you share the camera settings you used for the talking head shots? Thanks!
Sure, you can see all my settings here geni.us/878R
Can you add two wireless mics for interviews
I’m new to making videos. I have a Pocket 2 and an Insta360 Flow for my iPhone Pro Max 15. I’m going to be bringing these with me on the Camino de Santiago (hiking trail).
With weight and cost in mind, what would you choose to use? I was just looking at the wireless microphone from Hohem.
Once again congrats Tamara for your video !
I appreciate the detailed info about this mic, I was not quite sure I wanted to get one but after watching this i'm sure I need one for my gear bag. Also, I have a question for you, is all your B-roll footage in this video shot with the action 4 as well or another camera?
All the footage that isn’t product shots of the mic and camera was shot on the Action 4, so anything where I’m walking around outdoors or showing outdoor footage. The other shots were with the Sony A7s III and Zeiss Batis 40mm CF.
@@TamaraGabrielUK all of the shots in this video look really good! Thank you for the info
Can pairing 2 transmiter to dji action cam 4... ?? Like a pocket 3?
Can you use two microphones with the DJI Pocket 3 for interviews?
Can it pair with both mic? Or only one mic.
That's what I'm trying to figure out. Do you know the answer mate?
One, via Bluetooth. I talked about it in the video.
Great video. I found that getting one of those windslayers solved all my audio issues. Didnt use my wireless mic on this trip.
I have a dilemma and I’m debating whether to buy the mic 2. I’m not using it for vlogging as such, but would use it for cycling videos and capture conversation with others whilst riding. Would the mic 2 be an upgrade? Would it capture and improve Audio over the Osmo4?
If you’re going to be cycling I’d imagine you might get quite some wind hitting the Action 4 (depending on how fast you’re going), but even if cycling slow-ish, if it’s a windy day having the Mic 2 with the windshield will improve the audio quite a lot.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thank you Tamara x
You’re welcome
As I get ready to head to Italy and get a Mic 2 for the trip, this is great!
I have action 3 and now the mic 2. Any idea why the mic2 doesn’t work with the action 3?
It only works via Bluetooth with the Action 4 and Pocket 3. For the Action 3, you need the receiver.
Is the mic waterproof ie can i use it in the rain
I'm waiting to receive my Action 4 + Mic 2 TX and your video answered my question about changing mic settings without receiver since I didn't purchase it.
Thanks for your informative work
Great timing on the video Tamara
I love the fact that the Mic 2 connects to the Action 4 without an adapter.
I'm wondering if the Action 4 camera gives me the ability to change all settings on a Mic 2 transmitter (32 bit float, low cut filter, etc) , without a Mic 2 receiver. I want to make sure that when I modify any settings via the Action 4 camera, those settings stay that way on the transmitter, even if I later use the transmitter on it's own without the Action 4? That would allow me to just by an individual transmitter, without the reciever.
I'm trying to decide whether I can buy just the transmitters without the receiver, and use my Action 4 to basically get full functionality out of the transmitters, apply settings I want, and then use the transmitters as standalone onboard recording.
Thanks!
Yes, if you change the settings from the Action 4 it will apply to the mic even if you don’t have the camera connected.
Thanks for the details of mic 2
Wanted to know does this immediately get paired with the mic2 and start recording
When we press the record button the camera via quick action button when it’s off
I'm guessing the Mic 2 cannot record stereo from a stereo microphone connected to its 3.5mm input? I have a decent Audio Technica stereo mic that I have been trying to make work with the Pocket 2/ Action 4. Unfortunately no stereo solution so far
Excellant video, was looking into a pocket 3 but i think think if i upgrade my action 3 to the action 4 and microphone kit this would be better for me along with a gimbal
Hi 👋 great video like always 😊 i wounder if the mic 2 can connect to the gen 1 receiver? I will get my pocket 3 combo tomorrow and i have the gen 1 mic and receiver already. If i need 2 mics can i connect the mic 1 and 2 to the gen 1 receiver?
Keep up the good work ❤
Arrgh this DJI mic 2 is so incredible with my Osmo Pocket 3 that I think I will buy the Action 4 for my fast mouvement movies :) Or maybe I will wiat for the Action 5 , do you have an idea when it could be released and what could we wait for this version 5? :) Cheers and thnaks from France! Michael
Thank you, that was very informative 🙏🏻
does it start recording the audio in the mic, as soon as I hit the quick capture button, the OA4 is in shut down mode prior to hitting the quick capture button.
Can’t see wireless mic option in settings on my action 4?
Is there a tripod 2ft-4ft for this camera?
Great Vid. Is it possible to use the Mic 2 with 2 x Osmo Action 4's. So 1 mic recording from each Osmo Action independantly, the other the same ???? please.
One mic for both cameras at the same time?
Hi Tamara, i have a question. I already have the DJI Mic 1 with the receiver. I'm planning to get one DJI mic 2 transmitter. Do you know if the DJI Mic 2 transmitter can be connected to the DJI mic 1 receiver?
All of your videos are great. Many thanks!
Really great review, I was searching for this setting if the DJI Mic 2 could turn on when I start recording with my DJI Action 4 before buying it. Thanks :)
It won’t turn the mic on automatically, but if the mic is on it will automatically connect to it if it’s already paired.
@@TamaraGabrielUK The DJI Mic 2 could stay in sleep mode and be awaken when you press the record button on the DJI Action 4 ? The 6h of battery life is when recording right ?
Is hollyland wireless lark 2 mic can use with DIJi action 4 wirelessly?
How many mics can you use at once?
Great review, thank you for all information. May I ask I want to use this for my motorcycle trips and I want one mic to record my voice in my helmet, and with the 2nd mic to record engine sound. You said Osmo action 4 only connects one transmitter via wireless, so that's bad for me. But if I buy 2 tx + 1 rx package, can I pair osmo action 4 with receiver by wireless to record video with 2 mics audio included at same time?
Tamara, Another great video. I am looking forward to your video using the gimbal with the action 4, I have the gimbal but have not used it.
Hi Tamara, great video! Thank you, i’ve a question for you, i’ve already have an action 4, and just ordered the single transmitter (black one) for sure i’ll use it paired with the OA4 but i’d like to use it even when i use my canon mirrorless camera as an external recorder(syncing the audio in post). The question is, if
i setup the mic 2 transmitter on action 4 (gain, 32float, noise canc and so on) then switch off the action 4, will the transmitter maintain the settings? Thanks in advance cheers from Roma Italy
Hi 👋🏾 Yes it will maintain the settings.
Will the DJI mic 2 work with the DJI Osmo Action 3?
Greetings from Atlanta Georgia US. Love your vids. I always learn valuable info ✌🏾
Thanks ☺️
Is there a way to connect two mics to the camera, like you can with the Pocket 3?
Only with the RX.
Very good presentation. Thank you!
Amazing video, as usual! Does the dji mic 2 without transmitter also work with the action 3?
Thanks! No, not without the receiver.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Damn, that sucks. I only have the action 3, and like you said, losing the waterproof quality of this camera kinda defeats the purpose. Hopefully the action 5 will come out soon. Do you think it will work without the transmitter on that?
Also 1 more question. Do you think the dji mic 2 is decent for recording ambient sound in nature? I might also use it for my sony rx10iv.
I'd assume that the mic would work the same for the future Action 5 as it does for the Action 4, via direct Bluetooth connection with the transmitter alone. The Mic 2 would be a decent choice for ambient sounds. There are dedicated mics for that, but if you want the versatility to use it in other scenarios then it would do the job.
🤯Had no idea that you could use the DJI Mic 2 with Action 4 without a separate receiver! I thought this was just the new Pocket 3. Then when you told us we can use the Mic 2 with iPhone via Bluetooth, me head blew off. Now, if I can just find a VFM gimbal that I can use with Action 4 AND my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’ve got all my bases covered 🫶
That audio video sync feature is brilliant. Do the mic and camera boot at the same speed do you know? If I start recording is the mic ready to go or is there a couple of seconds pause? I rode dirt bikes so hit record and when I see the light I start talking.
It’s pretty instant tbh, I’ve not noticed a delay between the two.
Great, i have buy this mics today, great video, regards from Spain
Does the Bluetooth function work with the Dji osmo Acton 3?
No
excuse me i have question can we connect 2 mic with action 4
