DJI Action 4 & DJI MIC2 - No Receiver Needed!

With the latest Firmware update, DJI has enabled their DJI MIC2 to natively connect via Bluetooth to their Osmo Action 4! Just like the Osmo Pocket 3, this is a feature a lot of us have been eagerly waiting for!
Now we just need them to officially release the DJI MIC2...

    Hey, thanks for your comments and like and sub! DJI def deserves props for having the foresight to implement this in the Action 4 when it was in development. Combined with the 32-bit float back up, I see this being huge for some moto folks!

    Hey Wayne, I have the Pocket 3 Combo and OA4. Just paired it with the Mic 2 and it worked flawlessly! Thank you so much, I didn't even know there was a new firmware update!:) FURTHER TESTING: Just filled a bog bowl of water, left the tap running at maximum stream and placed the camera at the bottom. Walked to the other end of the room then came back and took the camera out, did not stop talking the whole time. When looking at the footage it surreal - all you see is a water fountain while hearing crisp studio-like audio. Amazing, this just opened the door to endless shooting possibilities!:)

    This is a great news not only for motovlogers! I am a runner and I record my runs, and very often I record my thoughts during the runs. Currently I'm using Comica Vimo S which works fine, mainly due to a very light microphone: only 10g (the mic is bouncing quite a bit). However, I have to connect the receiver which requires: (a) removal of the flap and (b) use of a special USB-C angle adapter. It is not very convenient. The wireless receiver within Action 4 make the camera considerably more attractive. Unfortunately I have Action 3...

    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 reciever. I want to make sure that when I modify any settings via the Action 4 camera, do those settings stay that way on the transmitter, even if I later use the transmitter on it's own without the Action 4? 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!

  • @WayneRECs

    @WayneRECs

    Ай бұрын

    As of right now, yes, the majority of Mic 2 TX settings can be accessed on a connected Action 4. I'm currently running this exact setup and often times just use my Mic 2 as a standalone 32-bit float recorder. I think there is only 1 setting that is RX only and that's the ability to disable the TX power button from turning on Noise Reduction. That's not to say tho that DJI won't make this setting eventually available on the OA4 via a firmware update. All TX settings are saved when it's disconnected from the Action 4 (or Pocket 3 or Mic 2 RX). However, I think if you change a setting in camera without a mic 2 connected, upon pairing, those new settings are automatically written to the TX. Additionally, updating the firmware of the Mic 2 TX via USB-C may reset the TX settings to factory default.

Also, for those who don't know this: the DJI Mic 2 also pairs up with mobile phones and for example the Insta360 cameras. It doesn not work with the GoPro Hero 12 atm, as GoPro made a mess of bluetooth in that.
