This is just wild to get a microphone to work on this OA3, they advertised as straight in with no adapters. Got a nice Sennheiser USB C microphone - now it is useless.
Hi, thanks for this. I found you as I was considering trying the Purple Panda mic with the adapter on my OA3. Previously, I used a Saramonic mic adapter with a cheap Hama Notebook mic (no longer available) which produced a nice 50/50 voice/exhaust recording, but recently, I had been having issues with corrupted files. Either video with no audio, or no file at all. So I bit the bullet, and bought the adapter and DJI’s own lavalier mic. I recently released my own test on this set up, riding my Royal Enfield Classic 350 on the motorway and normal roads. Now, ok, we are not talking massive speeds here, but the quality was pretty good. It was a wet and windy day, on the motorway we experienced a bit of clipping around 60mph, but on the normal roads it was very good. The reason I was thinking of trying the PP mic, is that I have lost some of the exhaust note, I would say we are now at 60% voice 40% exhaust, which I am a tad disappointed about. That said, there is hardly any wind noise, and most people who commented, were very impressed with just how clear it is. With your exhaust being higher up, and louder, I really think the DJI mic might just be better for you. In my test, I didn’t fit a dead cat, and the mic was fitted just in front of the right hand cheek pad, the camera gain was set to -5. Have a look/listen, see what you think (just tap on my symbol 😉). Cheers
This adapter works like a charm with DJI OA 3 for motovlogging..I would have never bought this if you had never made this video as it is a bit expensive deal for a microphone adapter.. Thanks for making this!☺️
Hi, just purchased a oa3 and a cheap aftermarket adaptor, i use a purple panda mic for motovlogging and thought it would all work with this cheap adapter to which it doesn't work. I'm over the moon for watching your vlog and I'm going to order one asap. Thanks mate Ride safe
Since you put the video out, have you changed to using the wireless mic 2?? I’m new to DJI and have both, but still need to do some testing, I still think the adaptor at £45 is better than GoPros media mod….also would you run the wired mic in stereo or mono? Thanks for the video
Hi Charlie, firstly sorry for the delay, it slipped through the net!! To be honest the DJI stuff is very good BUT it's really about the placement of the microphone, some helmets are better than others. So you just have to go out and ride with different settings and locations to hear what is best. I'm still trying to get it better. I use mono, stereo would be used for when you have the 2 mics and you want to pop one in a rucksack for exhaust sound etc then this allows you to have separate volume levels and you can play about with those in post edit to get the right balance of sound. Hope this helps a bit!
Hello, I'm from Thailand and would like to ask: Between DJI Osmo Action 3.5mm Audio Adapter and Saramonic sr-c2003, which one has better sound quality? Thank you for the answer.
Hi, great question.Just been into my garage and tried it...action 4 no problem, action 3 defaults to internal mic when the power is plugged in, but you can charge it with the mic plugged in. I will put an update in description . Thanks 👍
Wicked and thorough video dude, massive help, got a question though about the mic connections. I’ve got the dji mic 1 kit and I wanna know if I can use the second mic but stored in my backpack (to get clearer exhaust audio) AS WELL as having one of them in the helmet and connected to that 3.5mm. OR, use the 3.5mm connector, but connect the audio receiver in the mic kit to it INSTEAD of the audio jack( I.e, the usb type c port) That way it can be a wireless connection but to 2 mics? One in the helmet and one in the backpack? Would be very helpful and making editing of my future vids ALOT easier if that were possible. If you have the “dji mic 1” kit, would you be able to test that and see if it works??
hi. Yes that works , I have done it, but there is a bit of work to do in editing when it comes to the audio. I just put the 2nd mic in my back pocket and then adjust the audio levels as and when I want the sound of the exhaust to come through when editing. Easily workable but most of the time I forget to do it as it makes more work for me,. I should have used it for there m1000xr video I did a few days ago but didn't. Plenty of RUclips videos showing how to use 2 microphones and what to do in post edit. All takes TIME......👍
@@gsd32i sound! As long as I can use my dji mic 1 kit, plug it into the extended bit and use both mics wirelessly that’s plenty for me! Cheers dude, I really appreciate it!
Im just testing the adaptor with mixed results. My main issue is with my KTM 690 at speed. I have a rally tower which blasts my helmet with air. Going slower or standing up seems to be the only solution.
Hi . Try wedging it in the side between the check pads and inside of the helmet . I have got a plastic strip wrapped in black tape that slots inside the chin area of the helmet and I simply clip the microphone onto that .
Only thing with the OA3 and the adapter is power pass thru doesn't work. With OA4 you need a very hot mic to get good recording levels for non super loud environments.
To be fair the OA3 has quite a bit of audio distortion compared to the OA4 but a good review of the adapter this, did have the OA3 a little while ago though will be upgrading to the OA4 soon.
What I am trying to do is use the audio input from my in ear monitor while playing drums. Basically I have a mix that I control through my phone from the soundboard, and I want to use a splitter to split one send to me and one send to the dji and record what I am hearing in my in ears on the dji so that i get good audio mix from recording drums. do you think this would work?
Hello I hope you are fine. The Osmo Action 4 does NOT require adapters to connect a DJI Mic 2 microphone, since it connects directly to the camera via Bluetooth, that is how I use it and if I want to use a wired microphone, I would buy one with a type C connector. But If you are going to use the two tx of mic 2 if you should use the rx connected directly to the camera without so much cable
Off topic question if you could be so kind. Did you resolve your left leaning issue on the GS? I just installed some Pirelli Scorp Trails II’s and I now have a slight left lean happening.
Good news that it works with the 3 :-) Did you manage to adjust to remove the wind noise and if so how?? Love your videos, they have so much of what is required
Wait till you try the OA4 with the stand alone Mic 2, complete game changer and perfect at -12 gain. Don’t RUclips just for personal use but I dropped the Lavalier mic and clip the mic inside my neck warmer using the magnet, useful for me as I use a modular helmet but I now have a lot of expensive gear. Dave at Wheelie Good TV uses the same set up. We do live in an age of amazing tech but your solution is great for the OA3 which is still a super camera. I use mine now on the handlebars looking towards the rider.
Thanks, it's great if you have the money to change to the next best thing every year, but it just gets too expensive. If DJI wanted to send me one to test then I would gladly do it. Dave is a sound tech chap and clearly knows his stuff. If a friend has one I will ask to try it out.Enjoy making more videos with the new mics and ride safe. 👍

hello sir, may I know what kind of mic did you used for your dji adapter?

Gkad you found the video of use. 😊
Less distortion on the OA4 set up maybe drop db to -7 or -10 may make better in wind noise at speed
Hi . Yup it’s still works in progress but pleased overall. Reality is 40 mph is excellent on the A4 which is what I will be using . 👍

@ ok thanks for the reply
Hello, I'm from Thailand and would like to ask: Between DJI Osmo Action 3.5mm Audio Adapter and Saramonic sr-c2003, which one has better sound quality? Thank you for the answer.
Hi . Not used the Saramonic
also do I have to buy the dji version or can I just use a usb-c to 3.5mmcable
Thanks ever so much for this, trying to find an action 3 option an you answered my prayers lol
Glad I could help!
Hi does using the mic adapter make the camera not waterproof?
Correct, I use some swimmers ear plug wax, works a treat courtesy of Amazon.
Is it also possible to charge the Action 3 while using it? If I'm correct, the microphone doesn't work on the Action 3 when the camera is charging.
Hi, great question.Just been into my garage and tried it...action 4 no problem, action 3 defaults to internal mic when the power is plugged in, but you can charge it with the mic plugged in. I will put an update in description . Thanks 👍

Finally got mine! And yes! It works in OA 3! Charging works too. But it doens't when you try to try file transfer

Thank you.
You're welcome!
The OA3 still sounds slightly distorted. Maybe if you set the gain to minimum you could improve it. Thanks for the video!
Noted! Still testing in with different places in the helmet
Off topic question if you could be so kind. Did you resolve your left leaning issue on the GS? I just installed some Pirelli Scorp Trails II’s and I now have a slight left lean happening.
Hi. I ended up changing the tyres in the end. No more leaning issues.
Thank you for the reply
Thank you Very Much for your help!
Good news that it works with the 3 :-) Did you manage to adjust to remove the wind noise and if so how?? Love your videos, they have so much of what is required
Wind is deadcat and keep it some out of wind. You can remove wind in edit. But that leaves speak, and most other will be gone. So, best is deadcats.
I have to set my mic gain for kayak fishing with a hotter mic to +11
Nice helmet too!
Thanks 👍
