This is exactly what I needed. Thank you! I picked up the neewer action case using your affliate link so I can run my rode wireless mics with my dji action 4. Thanks for putting this out there! Huge help! Take Care
Thanks heaps for this helpful video. I have recently purchased the Osmo Action 4 and was considering also purchasing the Dji Wireless mic too. But now I know I can attach my Rode Wireless Go 2 Mic and it looks a lot better attached than the Dji Mic would. I'm going to stick with the Rode Wireless Mic Go 2.
Thank you. This is very helpful. I love the Action 4. I use it on the family ranch mounted to a Kawasaki Mule 4010, which is very noisy. The Rhode Wireless Pro provides pro-quality 32-bit float audio. However, I needed a way to mount it securely to the camera. I will refer to this video in an upcoming RUclips production. Thanks Again.

@@robertjames-life4768 yes I am aware of that. You have to choose between having the cold shoe clip or the male USB-C plug. If you choose the cold shoe then you have to use a separate cable like with the Rode.
@@freelyroaming I understand but still you can use the DJI the same way is my only point. I happened to already have the Mic. I agree though that the standard USB C plugged into the side is not a very solid connection.
I have the Samsung usb c cable, and I used the TRRS cable with it for my shotgun mic. However, there’s one question: after connecting I cannot see the mic icon on the screen. What I can see is the green volume line flickering right at the top when I speak into the mic. Am I right to assume that the mic is working and well connected?
Hi can I ask what cage you are using on the osmo 4 when attaching the rode wireless receiver? Is there a hot shoe? I am about to purchase the osmo 4 and have the rode 2 mics and wondered if I need to purchase a third party cage? Thanks Dave. Great video btw 👍
Brother just one question. You used Samsung's type c to 3.5 mm cable right ? Bcoz I have most of these cables don't work. I'm planning to get OA4 but just waiting to get an idea of audio setup. So if I get Samsung type c to 3.5 and a lapel mic with trrs to trs connector it should work right ?
yes that is what I used and it worked for me. I already owned it so it was worth trying. However,, I can't guarantee that all versions of their adapter works the same. If you are looking one to buy, you might be better off buying one that is designed for external microphones like this one amzn.to/44Tt0xO
@@freelyroaming I guess he is asking, as we need to set different Gain levels with different mics and different surroundings. a problem I recently discovered with OS4 since I started using it for MotoVlogging
Great video, thank you. Can the Rode Go also be plugged into the dji action 4 with usbc, or just the GoII? I tried it with mine but didn't see the mic symbol on the Dji screen.
Thanks. If the usbc connection works on a computer then it should work on the OA4. I no longer own the original Rode Wireless Go so I'm unable to confirm. Good luck.
There are certainly big improvements in the pro but in my opinion, 32-bit float is not necessary for almost everyone because only a very small percentage of people actually use the local recordings on the transmitters. Until cameras can record 32-bit float internally into the video file, syncing external audio is an extra step that most users of wireless microphones simply won't see any benefits from. You can still certain have audio clipping on the in-camera audio while using the Rode Wireless Pro. That is why they still have features like GainAssist as well as Safety Channel. Unless the user understands, using a Rode Wireless Pro can give people a false sense of safety only to find that they need to resort to the onboard recorded audio to save their clipped in-camera audio.
Hello and thank you firstly. I've just switched to the action 4 and I'm using the dji wireless mic. I've got the gain on the mic set to +7 and the audio is still low, what am I doing wrong? I use the dead cats as I'm usually outside but never had problems with low audio when filming with my Samsung s22 ultra, any advice greatly appreciated ❤
I am actually going to make a video about 4 different microphones I use with the OA4. The best one I've found is this one. amzn.to/43MCxYO Tiny yet extremely sensitive microphone for ambient sound. Keep en eye out for a video showing this mic.
I've been looking for a video using Rode wireless with Osmo 4 and finally found you make it so clear ! thanks you very much. Now I got the conclusion, Osmo 4 is what I am going to buy! One more questions, I actually have Rode wireless me, but I think it will work too right?
@@freelyroaming excuse me sir, one more question! on 5:11 to attached Rode on the camera, is that the original case or you have to buy from somewhere else? I'm afriad of there is no place to stick my Rode me on the camera
@@iamcheck.thisout no it's an aftermarket cage by neewer. There are several ways to attach it but they all require some aftermarket parts. If you watch my other osmi action 4 video you will see the cage and find a link to it.
Thanks for this video! I'm still back on the Osmo Action (1) but looking to jump to the 4. Have you used both OM4 and Rode Wireless mics with split channels? When I'm using both Rode Wireless mics on the Osmo Action 1 (and using the Rode split mode), it would only register channel 1. The only way to use both transmitters was to use the "merge" option on the Rode. I haven't found anyone yet that can confirm whether both transmitters can be used on the OM4 in split mode. Having the audio in split mode would help cut out unwanted noises from one speaker if the second person was talking, etc in post. Thanks in advance!
I have the option 1 but I haven’t a sound, maybe do you know why ?

Thanks a lot for this video. Too bad DJI Osmo Action 4 don’t operate directly as a DJI Mic receiver. Even if it could to be the perfect solution, I don’t think DJI is going to make this appends.
Good news! The OA4 has been updated to support the DJI Mic 2 which doesn't use an external receiver. Might be sold out for a while when it comes out, tho.
You probably know that they just recently upgraded the firmware so the DJI 2 transmitter connects directly to the camera, no need to hook up the receiver anymore

Hello and thank you for your video. I tried connecting my Rode Wireless Go II receiver to the Action 4 via USB cable (tried some cables and they behave all the same way). Long story short, i'm unable to get a stable connection with the receiver. Most of the times the Action 4 doesn't recognize it and after several tries it starts recognizing it, which makes this solution not really depenable on. The Action 4 looks to be functioning correctly, the PC connection works, the webcam mode works, the 3.5mm jack to USB adapter works. But the direct USB to USB connection doesn't (or doesn't always). Have you experienced this situation and how did you fix it? I'm running on latest firmware at the date. Thanks.
@@freelyroaming Good to know. There must be something with my setup. When it starts to work, it goes on also after several power on/off, but if i left the camera off for some time, say a couple hours, then it becomes unstable again. Really puzzling.
nice, but how did you attach it to the camera? is that a special housing? I have the action 3 and it came with the housing cage but it doesn't have a cold shoe mount? thanks I don't think you said about that part?

@@freelyroaming what’s crazy is I bought the DJI Osmo 4 action and should have got combo with DJI goal wireless mics, the dual mics by themselves may be Dec before they are available to purchase without Action 4, I goofed. That’s a crappy marketing plan for consumers
is the protecting case that comes with adventure combo pack holds the wireless go ii?
No you need something with a cold show mount. Any aftermarket cage will have one. Or you can get the Ulanzi OA-19 currently on sale. amzn.to/41hikZT
Wait... no mic adapter needed? I buy...
Hello! Thanks for the video. Do you have an issue with usb-c connection if start record from sleeping camera and using top button. I have Comica VM10 Pro and Rode Wireless Me and on both mics first 5 seconds of audio is broken by clipping effect. If camera is working and you start record all sound in video is clear.
I usually wait until I see the microphone icon on the screen before I do anything in front of the camera. It can take a few seconds from time to time
@@freelyroaming Good advise! But my camera mounted on chest during bike trips and I just count for 5 seconds and then speak to mic. 👍😂
@@pedalezh yeah that seems like a good solution
whats the case you use on the action 4? so i can attach my mic

How did you attach the receiver to your camera case?
An aftermarket case like this one.

@@freelyroaming awesome! Thank you! Your video was super helpful! Getting the mics set up to do interviews at an event. Thanks again!
How will hollyland lark m1 work with dji action 4. Anyone tried it?
I don't have a m1 but it should work directly via USBC
