The most practical review of this action camera on YT to date. Nicely done Dave. Thanks for ringing this kit out for us in the DJI queue.
Agreed.
You’ve done it again Dave! Improving a vlogging set up for all the RUclipsrs out there. Your skills are definitely benefitting not just your subscribers but thousands of other viewers. The wide view is good but width wise I prefer the standard for the colour, but as you say there is a software update next month I am interested to see a side by side comparison although I doubt it will be necessary as the extra pixels will be amazing. On our last leg of the trip in Boston before flying home on Monday night.😂 Be well, ride safe and keep us educated with the help of your brilliant family.
Thanks Trev! What a trip you’re having mate. Safe journey home and when the dust settles let’s make contact about our hook up. 👍🏍🇮🇪
@@WheelieGoodTV 👍 we should try for sometime in October when you are not working. Will call you soon.
You're the only motovlogger I've seen to properly address gain levels, top job sir!
My question is, as a lot of people (myself included) like to hear the engine noise as a sort of underlying/background track to the actual voice part of motovlogging, have you considered using the second transmitter and hiding somewhere on the bike out of the wind, allowing it to record a separate audio track of the engine note, which you can then control in the edit process?
Thanks Ted, yes that’s exactly what I’m experimenting today with funny enough. Good results too! All shall be revealed shortly. 🤪🏍👍🎥
Man I just heard about the integration with the wireless mic. I just ordered one of these cameras and absolutely can't wait to use it on my bike. Getting good audio while motovlogging is like a science. This takes all the work out of it!
useful video. I bought this camera and I'm just starting a new channel. so precious. thank you man
Thanks so much, had the mic for awhile and couldn't figure out how to connect to the camera, we do now 😄 thanks again and stay safe and have fun 😊
Thanks! You can even buy the camera woman a coffee for her efforts!
Finally! Found a useful video that cares about audio as much as the video quality and answers if the Osmo is compatible with DJI mics 🎉
Spot on. I rarely subscribe because of those that are influenced by money, subs, and sponsors. You’re sincere, intelligent, fair, and well versed. Very refreshing. Thanks.
Oh by the way. Just a coincidence but I’m waiting for my Insta360 X3 and DJI Osmo Action 3 to arrive. Just sold the X2, GoPro 9, and Insta360 One R so I could upgrade. Very excited.
Jeez Sean, I’ll take that compliment!😮💨 Much appreciated.
This is how all action cam reviews should be done, really enjoyed watching you on the bike. I think I'm going to go with the Action 4 + DJI Mic set I already have.
Great choice Sir.
That's a lot of weight attached to the camera for dirtbiking.. and that mic is huge real estate in a helmet.. the sound is amazing tho!!! Looking forward to see how the attachment performs long term.
Hello, I have not received my action 3 yet, but I think you are absolutely correct. It's a simple system. I can't wait to try this setup
I’ve used it constantly this week since I got it and it really is a brilliant setup.
That's quite a good setup. Even the on board mic picked up the engine note. I haven't met the RS660 in person yet 😅. Keep it between the hedges.
Yep impressed with that mic. Well done!
It really is beautiful Chas!
Nicely done! Bought my DJI Osmo Action 3 yesterday. Searched online for attaching the DJI micro to it and yours popped up. Thank you.
Thanks Bob. Enjoy the camera, it’s superb.
more and more information. love it. Just setting up my cameras includes Insta 360 X3 along with two DJI action 2 cameras. those tiny little bit extra information about ISO, bit rate and color grading is really helpful. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the thorough setup and review. I have more confidence in my DJI Osmo Action 3 + DJI Mic setup now!
Just subscribed, I’ve had both the camera and the mic for a year now and have all but given up until seeing this video - I’ve been trying to do it using a lavalier mic in helmet and the transmitter in my pocket (unsuccessfully)
Soon as we have some salt free roads I’m going to try what you done.
Nice one
Good review! Best i've seen on the Action 3 so far!
Thanks Kevin. 🙏🎥
thank you for the video and your daughter for filming, i will try this next week
❤thanks because of you im buying both mic and osmo action 3 now
You won’t regret it. It’s a superb system!👌🎥🏍
A really good review of your setup there that and really informative.
Have used both Drift and Gopro for my setups in the past and whilst both of them were good in their own ways, the Gopro has known issues which surfaced with my own camera so I stopped using it entirely so have since been looking into other camera / mic alternatives and have seen quite some good reviews regarding DJI Action & their wireless mics.
Reckon I'll be getting these for my next setup at some point.
You won’t be disappointed. It’s a fantastic setup.
Subbed! very good video. This video settled it for me. Will get this adventure combo as my first action cam!
Cheers! It’s a superb setup. I’m still using it 6 months on and completely trouble free.🤗👍🎥🏍
Bless you for this vid! What a great analysis and at the same time an introduction to an unknown-to-me niche on RUclips of POV motorcycle vids! I'm about to order this combo. Stay safe Sir!
I am wondering if just one of the airmic pods is enough... as you can select backup recording. because you do want the engine sound track also.
That wireless mic is a good job Dave a handy bit of kit indeed without all the usual wires 👍🏻
Great info on this video thanks.
I have never ridden on a motorbike but if I did I would keep both hands on the handle bars of the bike when going at speed.
I enjoyed watching your video of the new osmo 3.
Regards
John, Glasgow, UK
Well I was on the fence about my next camera for the helmet. But it's this one, that mic set up is a godsend in comparison to the absolute faff with an external recorder. Great video.
Ah my old comrade! Yes it’s superb compared to what we were using. I place the mic inside my snood and secure it with the magnet next to my mouth. It’s such a game changer. Hope you’ve settled in over there! 🇺🇸
Such an excellent, informative video. So well done, and of course you inspired me to buy the full DJI Osmo Action 3 suite, including DJI Mic and the NDE filters. Sending you $50 for the professional consultation which saved me far more than I would have spent buying the “wrong” things. I’m now re-watching each of your setup videos so I dial in the right settings from the start. Thanks again Dave!
That’s so very kind of you. Appreciated hugely. 🙏🏍🎥
If you want more engine/exhaust sound, maybe it is possible to put the second microphone under the back seat near the exhaust? You get an extra audio file....
Brilliant review and clear information on the setting you use. I’ve subscribed straight away. Looking forward to watching all your videos. 👍
Many bike vloggers aim the camera just above the speedo to avoid the Internet Police.
I've just fixed a dji Osmo Action to my HJC helmet and I'll look into getting a mic adapter now.
Good stuff . keep it coming ... nice stuff
Would recommend film try 4k 60fps, I find it just makes the image crisper and the hedges flying by
Really pleasant and great video my guy
Hey Dave, Nice to meet you mate 👍 Outstanding DJI rig, excellent real footage with superb sound quality. And with the 360 on the bars, perfect combination to start the next adventure journey.
Thanks bud. 👊🏻🏍👍
Like you I’ve had enough of GoPro and tbh I was about to pull the trigger on an Insta RS…..fortunately I’ve just seen your video. Cheers for sharing Dave, you’ve saved me a few quid as I shall be opting for this setup 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You won’t regret it. It’s the best setup I’ve used to date and I haven’t even scratched the surface of its capabilities yet. You’re welcome and enjoy.
REALLY informative and helpful , I've the action 3 after getting the Moto vlogging up and running on the original osmo.
I've yet to get the audio side of things set up so THANKS fella . Subbed from Glasgow
So “Moto feelz” puts is 2nd mic in his backpack and it picks up the motorcycle noise you’re wanting more of. I also noticed you have a lot of motion blur which “moto feelz” fixed with changing some settings. I just got this setup and I’m testing it too. I’m using “moto feelz” settings to test it out. He even has a video on “night settings so check it out. @motofeelz on RUclips had a lot of great advise on using this setup for motovlogging. Now I just need to get my motorcycle back from the shop so I can’t test it all out. Should have it back this week as they were just doing some basic maintenance stuff to the bike. Great video by the way. I didn’t know the mics had a magnet on them to clip it inside the shirt!!! That’s an awesome feature. Still trying to figure out the best way to mount my microphone inside my home it so that it doesn’t fall out. I think I have a solution I’m just waiting on a part to come in so I can try it.
Thanks for the tech input. I’ve ordered the mic set. Looks like dji are going to kick GoPro in the nuts again. For me, even with the slight reduction in video quality of the action 3 , it makes up for it in its usability and RELIABILITY. Can’t wait to try the mics out, even putting one in a back pack for exhaust audio etc. would I guess add to the overall video feel. 👍
This video was a great help thanks bro
Welcome mate.
Exactly the video I was looking for, thanks! Great set up! cheers
Can we just talk about how bad ass that bike is?! Lol! And that shirt is amazing. You change cameras more than I change my knickers. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Can you make a review between the DJI Action 3 and any Samsung phone in low light?
Thanks for a great review of setting up the Osmo Action and a mic. I'm brand new to this Action Camera stuff - and the first thing I've run into is the wind noise when attempting to use the built-in mic. No surprise of course. I didn't even know it had a wind-reduction mode - but - it sounds like it doesn't really do the job anyway. My main concern with trying to use the wireless is the chunkiness of the receiver. It is small in terms of hooking to your shirt. It seems NOT small when trying to stuff into the helmet. I ended up not using a strap for the helmet mount - so I can't hook to that strap. We'll see. Thanks again for a great review!
The other thing I do with the mic transmitter is to put it inside my snood (neck warmer) next to my mouth and held in place with the supplied magnet. It works superb! The wind reduction btw is as you thought…crap!😉
Great review, Dave! I have never watched your videos before and actually came here because I am looking for a better solution for my motorcycle filming build. I have always had wind in my footage no matter what mic I have used and I tried a few, but this setup definitely convinced me. Yea, the dji mis is expensive but its worth it. What I like a lot is how easy is to setup, right? Brilliant, brilliant. I still need to watch you newest video about this combo, but the more I watch the more I understand that I need a dji mic. One sub from me! Thank you! Btw, also like that accent of yours, its so different and pleasant to listen to.
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the kind words.👍🙏
i think you should be able to just use the 2nd wireless mic and place that outside the helmet and record 2 seperate tracks as left and right in stereo.
Great & informative video mate …just a quick question is it possible to transfer the video straight from the action camera to your phone(I phone) ?Best Wishes Always ❤
Thanks bud. Yes it is possible to do that, no problem.
@@WheelieGoodTV Thanks a ton …safe miles from India 🇮🇳
Excellent video Dave, really useful and informative. I've just given up on Gopro and gone for the Osmo Action 3 so this video is invaluable, thank you! 👍
You won’t regret the move! It’s changed my life. 👌👍🙏
Really enjoying all your videos - so informative and without all the typical waffle and mumble one has to put up with - well done.
Cheers Peter! 👍🎥
good info, I'm just starting out learning about equipment for filming on motorcycles. I got a used Akaso HD 1080P used for $30 and I am learning to film and edit a bit....
Good man Patrick. Everyone has to start somewhere bud.
The camera is very grainy but the dji mic is fantastic you could have been in a studio great video my friend 😁👍👌🇬🇧
Hi! Intriguing to hear you say the camera is grainy? I’m wondering if it’s RUclips compression or the fact this footage was mainly shot in 25p which gives it that more of a filmic look? Anyway, the footage at my end is crystal clear and the best I’ve ever had from any action cam. I’m absolutely delighted with this setup. 👍🎥
Looks like you’ve cracked it 👍 as in good pic great FOV and the sound is fab 👍 good system the DJI mic. I take it if it records within the unit in the helmet then in a rain shower you could potentially remove the unit receiver on the camera.
Yes absolutely Nick. I know you’re a fan of recording audio independently but with this system you have the best of both worlds and absolutely take the receiver off the cam in heavy rain. 👍🏍
Very nicely recorded, edited and presented.
I really like my Osmo Action 3, but need to go out driving with it even more if only weather could be warmer with no rain.
I tried the Cynova adapter but it didn't work, but I will get usb-c mic adapter tomorrow (I hope) so it will probably work. DJI Mic is a bit too expensive, but the sound is amazing.
I agree that the cost of the total setup is a bit pricey but the two together is not much more than the new GoPro by itself and then you need a mic and media mod etc. if you want simplicity and 100% reliability then this is the best option.
getting one xmas nice vid
Excellent vlog Dave now time to chose which camera to get keep up the great work cheers Glenn.
Cheers Glenn. Another one about this camera coming tomorrow night for the real nerds!🤣🤪🏍
Great Info! Thanks!
Welcome bud.🙏🏍
Love all the back to back testing! Are you tempted to switch up to the action 4 camera now?
No point for what I use the camera for. It’s got a better sensor which makes it better in low light but I don’t ride at night. The 3 is a superb camera. 👌🎥
Great stuff Dave! I have the dji mic and my osmo action three is on its way. I'll be doing some mountain bike vlogging and I'll have to give this set up a go.
Liked and subscribed!
Thanks mate. It’s a very fancy setup for mountain biking and will work superbly. Enjoy.
So fast, si dangerous 😮
That’s not fast.
Great vid !!! Was looking at the action 3 with a wireless mic saw moto uk did a vid but with the Instamic Pro Plus which didn’t need the receiver but you had to sink audio up but audio was stunning !!!
Yes I love Nicks channel @motouk and totally see why he records audio separately but this system is the best of both worlds. I’m delighted with it and it has really reduced the anxiety when going out motovlogging and not having to worry about camera freezes/crashes and constant battery failure. I’ve only used it for a week but it is superb!
@@WheelieGoodTV would you say that the best setup then ? Would just worry if using it if raining ?
@@Themotograndpa if it starts to serious downpour then just unplug the receiver from the side of the camera and put the little door back on and carry on recording the sound on the transmitter to sync afterwards. That’s what I mean when I say best of both worlds. It’s actually better than using a plug in lavalier because you don’t have that option of course.
These videos are GOLD! Thanks!
And thanks for watching bud! 👍🎥
I use the Action 1 with a Rode Wireless, looking forward to using my Action 3 with the Insta 360 X2, great for moto vlogging, if only I had your editing skills I might start a RUclips channel🤣. Great results by the way, I love modern camera tech….
Cheers Ian and yes my new setup is now the Osmo Action3 with DJI mic and the Insta X3. It’s brilliant!!
Put the door from the camera inside the mic charger so you don’t lose it.
Wheelie Dave...Just came across your channel while surfing!-lol. Just received OA3 few days ago & am wondering if should invest in DJI Mic. Seeing that I won't be shooting/narrating footage like yours, am still Up in the Air. IMO....Much rather prefer audio b4 20mins change over. To me, everything after 20:00 contains too much background noise. But maybe, it's just me?!....BTW....Aloha from Hawaii!
Thanks Harry! Still testing different scenarios but one thing for sure is this system is amazing!
Thank's For sharing 🤩👍 Great video test
Why do you record at 25 fps on a chin mount camera sir? I suggest you to record at 60 fps and drop the fps in PP afterwards if you really want that cinematic feel/look. And if you do so don't forget your shutter speed x2 of your fps count...
I live in Ireland which is a PAL region so 25/50 is our format. I choose 25 since it most cinematic but have recently been recording at 50 as most of my viewers watch the vids in their phones so at 50 it carries more detail. I always set my shutter speed at double the frame rate for that correct motion blur.👍🎥
the bike sound is low
Great vid, excellent presentation and info as always. Actually revisiting this on for the umpteenth time to see if I missed something.
Is it still working for you as described. I had a few weeks success but now it's showing a red icon next to the voice activation icon, records only long beeps or intermittent short deep beeps and static or no audio at all. I fear that the stress on the connection has been too much.
Thanks a lot. I’m very surprised to hear you’re having issues. Mine has been faultless and I use it constantly still. The only time it crashed out was when the receiver terminals got dust on them from riding through a dirt track. I sprayed them with WD40 and all good again.
Just for input for other motovloggers searching for this, apart from using the wireless mics that have internal gain control, I don't currently see how to get good audio on the Osmo Action 3 for motovlogging. Even with the firmware update allowing you to set gain down to -12db, the signal is too hot for any of the many wired lavaliers I've tried. If I want to use this for motovlogging (because like many of you, I'm sick of GoPro) currently this setup seems to be the only option.
Good point!
Have you figured anything out?
now hold on a minute!
at 3:50min you said it "clicks in nice and tight"
to what? the USB C port? i would not trust a USB port to hold and extra cam equipment. 😲
please explain somebody
🤣🤣👌 Yep it does click in but as it’s raised a lot of concerns it has also made me aware, so I now put a thin elastic band around the cam and receiver.😮💨🎥
I’ve been trying to get decent audio for my voice, I found that I put one DJI MIC in my side bag on -12 and it picks up the exhaust sound fantastic but I’m still trying with the voice inside my lid, still can’t get the settings quite right, any suggestions for mic gain?
Thanks
Thanks for the video . Just taken delivery of the mics and the quality is top notch . Can’t wait to try on the bike . With the new software and -12 db now available to be set on the camera A3 , what are your settings for audio now , when out on the bike ? 👍
Any news for best input gain in the action 3 Menü?
Fantastic video Dave,
Thank you for sharing your setup,
Was thinking doing the same and you now confirmed it it works,
Regarding recording the motorbike sound and the environment i would use the second mic and place it somewhere in the back pocket and this should be great fun to add the real sound along with the clear vlog recording sound.
i look forward to try this setup myself :D.
Thanks Alin. I now use the second mic like you say for recording engine noise and it works superb. 👍🏍
@@WheelieGoodTV thank you Dave for confirming 👍
Cannot wait for the weather to improve a bit so I can test it out.
Quick question , will this setup work on the scorpion adx2 with the helmet open ? Was thinking of that helmet but not sure , currently own a Tracer 9gt and I suffer with buffeting hence I was thinking of an kind of adv helmet but not 100% as the bike is more like touring bike. Any thoughts ?
@@alinwithther6 don’t buy the ADX2 if you already suffer from buffeting as the peak on this helmet is terrible. It is unusable at motorway speeds. However, the mic and camera will work perfectly with any camera as a quick option I use now is to pop the mic inside my snood (neck warmer) and hold in place with the supplied magnet. This means it doesn’t have to be attached anymore to the helmets as such.
@@WheelieGoodTV thank you for the reply Dave,
Much appreciated.
From your experience what touring helmet do you recommend ?
Great video 👍
Can you tell me how to remove the lid for the usb c port? Thanks
Thanks Bin, you just open stand pull it off.
@@WheelieGoodTV thank you so much!🙏
Wheelie~ like~yu created epic job! )
Cheers!!
What about long rides? If you’re riding all day, and turn on the camera in between intervals, so you have to turn off the mic everytime? Because the mic would be inside the helmet?
The mic battery lasts for 7 hrs so I just leave it on all day and pop it in the cradle for a quick charge when I have lunch.
@@WheelieGoodTV yeah but then will we may have to manage 7 hours of audio footage ?
@@WanderDa no,
no, no. The camera only records the audio when you press record. I don’t leave the camera running all day. 🥴
@@WheelieGoodTV understood
👍👍👍👍👍 thanks
Awesome review… subscribed… hope to see you around on the road soon… Looking forward for more content…
Regards,
Richie
Cheers Richie!
I have the Action 2 with the DJI Mic, only really just got both. Was considering the 3 but hearing about focus issues. I like the Action 2 as it is modular
The focus issues aren’t an issue really. It’s only a problem for close up work less than 50cm. 👍
@@WheelieGoodTV ah ok, so a bit like the overheating that the Action 2 was supposed to have. Will be ordering then. Just watching your Connemara video
@@thecivvie it really is an incredible camera and I’ve used it for nearly a month now with Zero issues. Picture quality has just been improved too with latest update.(less saturated).
@@WheelieGoodTV will be buying mine as my Xmas present to myself 🤣🤣
How do you take the door off?
@@ARVIthereyet you just have to twist it with a bit of force. It’s only clipped in.
Want to say for people wondering, the newest firmware have fixed the sound to have -12 also.
Thanks for the video) What about rain though?
Hi, yes it’s not totally waterproof. I’ve ridden in heavy rain for two hrs and surprisingly it all still worked but I was doing it to try and get it to fail. I think if I was to do a tour in the future I’ll put some sort of protection like blu tak or similar mouldable plastic over the join.
This is the expensive deluxe version of an external audio solution on the Osmo Action 3. With the disadvantage that you have significantly more weight on and in the helmet. It is a mystery to me why DJI does not provide settings for the OA3 with which you can level the input signal. Because there are compatible USB-C lavalier microphones (which costs nearly nothing compared to the wireless system) that you can simply plug in and placed in the chin area of the helmet.
They don't weigh anything. However, these only produce distorted audio via the OA3, which is completely unusable. I assume this is intentional because it is the same with the OA1. One wants to sell just the own expensive solution. A wireless system to bridge 10 cm? Somehow this is comedy. Thanks for the video!
Was there any problems with the receiver detaching from your camera at higher speeds?
Do you suggest any elastic band to hold it tight just in case?
Great review btw
Never a problem Ryan but yes I put a thin elastic band around both just in case now. 👌
For the best motor sound I usually put one wireless mic back in the "trunk" under the seat with the wind shield on. I have a strap around my medkit and it sits really tight, does not rattle and gets clean sound from the engine and exhaust. The only thing is too much water on the streets but it does not get too much water in there on the bottom. I havent really tried it but I am sure a small plastic bag would not distort the sound too much and keeps even the little water away.
I still have the question whether you can connect both mics to the receiver at once or is it like a back up mic?
Hi, good idea. Yes you can connect both mics to the receiver at once. This is the whole idea of this system.
Seems like a great set up, I'm currently using the Insta 360 One X2 linked to the Rode wireless Go 2 system which captures the perfect balance of speech/bike audio when my wife is pillion with the second transmitter. I'm considering an upgrade as picture quality on the 360 doesn't seem to match 4K from action cameras.
I did notice though that the grass was looking quite vivid with the Action 3 and seemed much more natural from the new Insta X3. I'm torn between buying the X3 and using the X2 in single lens mode for better quality or getting the Action 3 and sticking with the X2 for alternative views?
How did you Mount the røde wireless mic 2 go? Thanks!
@@betweenframesproduction3968 I bought a handle bar clamp on Amazon, the type with a U clamp and a double ram type ball mount one of which has the 1/4 inch thread. Then screw the short 360 selfie stick onto it. Then using a Ulanzi mount for the Rode receiver place it like a washer on the top of the selfie stick before screwing on the 360 camera. The receiver is linked to the camera via the 360 mic adapter ( sold separately) and the bendy connecting wire supplied with the Rode Go 2.
A lav mic in mine and my wife's helmets is then plugged into the Rode transmitters which we keep in our jacket pockets. Gain levels on the Rode transmitters need adjusting according to which lav mics you use. I hope this helps, audio for Moto Vlogging is a tough nut to crack, trial and error led me to this solution. You could also just plug a long leaded lav mic into the mic adapter direct into the camera but then your tied by lead and it would show in the footage. I hope this helps, any further questions please feel free to ask me, I'm always happy to help 👍😀 p.s. don't use open ended adjustable clamps they work free at speed and the 360 will flap about with wind speed. Only the U type with two locking nuts is secure enough.
Thank you so much for this review! Spot on! I am SUPER FRUSTRATED with my GoPro 7 and 8 cameras since they lock up, switch to random modes, and sometimes quit recording audio. Does the DJI have any of these problems? Thanks again for the video and taking the time to share your results.
Hi there. None of those problems with the DJI, it works superbly and every time without fail. I’ll never go back to GoPro.
Thanks so much!
your video is very good, I bought the ddji microphone with action 3, but the receiver connection to the camera seems to me to be a very fragile connection... I'm afraid of asking or the receiver falling... If you found a solution to make the receiver connection firmer, share it with us because the damage is great, if it drops rss
Hi, yes I just but a rubber band around the camera and receiver now just to be sure. Works perfectly. 👌🎥
Very interesting and informative nice one mate
Appreciate that George. 🙏🏍
Great setup ! Thanks for this very cokm video ! I'm considering leaving gopro and find another setup such as this one.
Question on the dji mic : Could you use the 2nd mic to record the engine of the bike only for example by putting it under the saddle ?
Would use the first mic to record voice and 2nd to record engine. What do you think ? And is there any easy way to sync both sources in post production without the "clap" trick ?
Could be an option to have the best world ?
Yep I do that all the time now. You don’t need to record and sync as the sound goes straight on to your video track. You just have the ability to record separately if you want. It’s all very user friendly. 👍🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV thanks my friend for sharing experience ! no issue with the magnet system on the camera on the helmet is it strong enough when riding on the highway for example ?
I might not have the proper insight but why don't they integrate the wireless connectivity for external mics in the camera? They could share the same battery, same screen for settings and have no need to waste space for plugs / sockets. So space shouldnt be an issue.. Being able to pair external mics directly with the camera would be even more convenient
Yes but the camera would have to be a lot bigger. They want the consumer to be able to use the Mic system on other cameras too, as I do.
Hello,
Thanks for your video. It is very detailed and well presented. I have a question, is it possible to use DJI mic receiver during rain while connected to Action 3?
Thank you.
Many thanks, I have been caught in the rain a few times and it’s been ok but I wouldn’t recommend it because the input is an electrical connection. What I do then is simply use the mic transmitter which records the sound independently within the unit and sync it up
In the edit later allowing me to put the rubber cover back over the camera input. Hope that makes sense. 🙏🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV thank you so much! Idea of having inbuilt audio recording in microphone is fantastic one.🤝.
Hello Dave thank for sharing the video, it made me firm up my mind to buy this product, here i have a question about that chin mount you have on the helmet, will it to avoid mirror closing?
Hi Tianfan. The chin mount still allows the visor to close no problem on my helmet. 👌
Thank you Dave for response me so quickly, it helps me a lot!
Thanks for the great video! When you filming on your motorcycle do you start recording with a remote control or don't have Dji any remote control for there action 3? And the mimo app is not available in Playstore but when you want to make fast short video's like in the GoPro quick app it isn't possible I guess? Thanks in advance
Hi Nick, I don’t bother with remotes I just stop the bike and repo the Insta 360 to different angles and then run those shots just for a few minutes. I just stop/start my chin cam as I’m passing somewhere interesting or have something to say. The GoPro app really isn’t great for editing.
Hi! Great video. I have the DJI mics and am thinking of getting the Action 3 for cycling videos. How secure is the connection turn between the two when it’s just plugged in the USB C port? Have you ever lost the receiver!? Or is it very secure? Thanks.
It is secure but I but a thin elastic band around the two just to be sure now.
Looking forward to trying my Action 3 out when it arrives. Hoping to team it up with my Rode Wireless Go2. Pictures look great.
Your main title on the vid just says DJI Action; not Action 3.
Thanks for the vid Dave.
Jeez thanks for spotting that buddy. The algorithm wouldn’t have been to happy about that. Duly updated.🙏🎥
@@WheelieGoodTV Welcome 👍
Hi Dave great video. Can you advise what product you use to connect the mic to the camera assuming its a cable 🙂
Hi Steve, the mic is built into the wireless transmitter so I just stick it inside the helmet behind the straps for the camera mount. No wires anymore. 😜👍
@@WheelieGoodTV Hi Dave excuse the ignorance so audio is recorded on the receiver, downloaded from that matched to the footage? Thx for your patience 👍
