DJI Action 4 & DJI MIC2 - No Receiver Needed! 

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!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience! Now if only DJI would release the MIC2...

Does the microphone work as a camera remote control (as with the Pocket 3)? That is, can you start and stop video recording using the Mic2?

I've heard that the MIC 2 does work as a remote for the Action 4 just like on the Pocket 3.

​@@WayneRECs Thank you!

​@@WayneRECsWill any Bluetooth TWS work with dji action 4. Go pro 12 can do that and I wish dji action 4 also gets an update.

It might, with something like the instaMic.

@@BassManStrikes Thanks, never heard of InstaMic but just looked it up. Pretty sweet that it's waterproof, that would make a really nice setup since I'm around water 99% of the time when I'm recording or if I'm out in the rain.

Same! But I think the wait will be worth it!

For real right! It will be a game changer for a lot of Action 4 owners!

@@WayneRECs I have the action 4 and am getting the pocket 3 in a couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to use the action 4 on my bike but have been struggling to get decent audio as the vibration is a major issue. Now I’ll be able to stick the wireless mic somewhere and get natural audio. I gave you a like and follow. Keep it up.

I think this 32-bit float option pertains to the DJI MIC2's ability to toggle on/off 32-bit float recording within the transmitter.

@gaspollmv kita tunggu dji mic 2nya bang😁

Hopefully they sell only the transmitter

? old garmin Virb had that 8 years ago. They was lightyear's ahead of garmin. But did sadly stop. Still using garmin, + oa1+3

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.

@@WayneRECs this is super helpful, I'm going to pull the trigger, and happy I can get by without a receiver. I appreciate the time you took!

@@WayneRECs Why not just make an open source custom firmware instead...

Totally! For channel's like yours, I'm sure keeping your camera waterproof is a huge benefit!

yep I’m up here in the Pacific Northwest and we have lots of wet weather😂 it’s definitely gonna make a big difference. thanks for the info I just updated my. Osmo

No word yet, but I'd be awesome if it was under my xmas tree this year lol!

haha I know right!!@@WayneRECs

If it's bluetooth, it can do, what garmin did years ago, in Virb. Back then, i did not find bt any good. Can be, it's better today. Or there mic2 is. Do not waist time on any bt, have a real check on the dji mic2. Sound is hard out were the action is

I haven't heard anything about the release date, but as they soft released it with the Pocket 3, I'd imagine it would be relatively soon.

DJI will not $ profit from you doing that, so NO 😂

@@MatthewTaylor3 I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept it a closed system either. However Insta360 ace pro already allows third party microphones to connect wirelessly.

I'm not an expert in how wireless bluetooth protocols pair, but I would think DJI would keep this feature limited to it's products. (Plus I couldn't pair any of the wireless systems I have directly to the camera...)

What you can do is connect the fulaim receiver to the Dji mic 2 through the 3.5 mm jacks. That will allow you to use both mics of the Fulaim. I tried it with my Hollymark mics and it worked. Not sure how sound would be affected but it sounded good to me.

@@Salems413 Thanks. Yes, that should definitely work. But I was mostly interested in sending the signal straight to the Action4 for vlogging and biking. This would be very handy for my use case. I am not going to buy a new camera before early next year though, I guess someone will have figured out by then. Thanks again.

Please xplaine. how conect 2 transmiter ( dji mic 2 )to action cam 4 without receiver?,

Sounds like the feature would be perfect for your application! I had hopes that DJI wouldn't abandon the Action 3 as I still think it's a great camera, but it looks like they poured a lot more attention into the Action 4 (unfortunately).

Seems like that would be the way to get the most out of your mic and cameras!

That's a great point! Single functionality was a big downside for some so being able to charge and use a wireless mic solves that!

It's my favorite day of the year lol!

For real! Hopefully DJI offers a few options when it's released.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to seeing the results on your channel!

@@WayneRECs I'll try get something up tomorrow. I also want to test the bluetooth range. I did try to pair the InstaMic Pro Plus already ... that is unfortunately a no go. DJI have it locked down to their own, but that was expected.

Agreed! And this is the one time I've ever wanted someone to drop a mic...lol

Awesome! I know this is a solution you've been waiting for! Glad to see DJI pulled through for Moto folks!

@@WayneRECs I'm so happy! 🤣 I just got good news today from my doctor about my brain tumour scan a year after treatment so the DJI news is not the best today but close 😂

Unfortunately at the moment, no. The Action 4 can only connect to a single Mic 2 TX.

Yes with the RX you can. not directly to the camera though.

Yeah, this feature could be worth the upgrade from the Action 3!

I guess you discovered my secret identity lol! Never noticed so I guess they're my natural hand gestures...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I don't know for sure, but I imagine DJI would have a few different purchasing options, like a set with 2 TX and a charging case or an option to buy a stand alone TX (which I know Pocket 3 owners would love).

@@WayneRECs ok thanks…

you need the receiver of course for that also without the receiver, the bluetooth audio is crap

lol it did go on sale few weeks ago. So i did buy one. Don't be sad. dji mic wireless is timeless. And if you do other stuff then yourself. It's great. Remember, you can synk in post.

Totally! This feature might put DJI on top of the Action Cam Wars lol!

Might be time to upgrade at least 1 camera to the Action 4... lol!

@@WayneRECs I was just so disappointed with the 3’s that I can’t bring myself to buy the 4! Worst focus of any DJI I’ve owned. Worst overheating. Just soured my experience!

You never know! A feature like pausing seems like it could be pushed out in a firmware update.

Totally!

for me motovlog which is only short distances, waterproofing is very important especially if the DJI Mic 2 is really going to be released and can be used with the DJI Osmo Action 4 when it rains wow that's very good.

@@gaspollmv Audio adapter + wired lav live on my helmet and we have survived hundreds of tropical thunderstorms. It is weatherproof enough. You don't need a wireless solution.
