In this vid I test the new Action 4 firmware upgrade to see if it works with the transmitter from the Osmo Pocket 3 within the world of motovlogging (Vlogging on a motorcycle). The signal is pushed to the limit but I try to find the sweet spot by exploring different gain settings.

Great video, thanks Dave. I'm really looking forward to trying this setup, DJI Mic 2 isn't available on it's own yet, but the leaks suggest it is coming soon 😃 The leaks also suggest a similar setup to the current mic, 2 mics & a receiver. Obviously with bluetooth the separate receiver not needed so much now, but it'll be interesting to see if you can capture audio from 2 mics into 2 channels, left & right like the current DJI Mic. That would allow you to have the 2nd mic setup to capture raw sound of the bike without the wind noise, exciting 👌🏻

These mics look like the ideal solution for when it's raining. I currently have a pair of Actions 4's and the DJI mics, which I am very happy with, as I have one in my helmet and my wife will have one in hers. As long as she stays within 250m of me when we ride, they will be the perfect solution to being able to be able to capture our conversations. I was thinking that if it's wet, we'll just have to use the onboard sound recording within the mics and sync it in post, but the Mic 2 may be the answer. Yet more money DJI will get from me 😂.

Only improvement I can think of...allow 2 mic 2 transmitters to connect wirelessly without the need of a dedicated receiver. I'd like 2 mics so I can use one to capture just the exhaust sound and for the odd occasion when I need to mic up two people.

Morning Dave, thanks so much for putting this together. I am having so many problems with my Action 3 at the moment, it is driving me bonkers. Video being recorded, but no audio…..Recording first 9 minute segment fine, but then not recording anything on the next segment ! I use the voice control, telling it to start and stop. It will start recording when I say “start recording”, but sometimes it won’t stop when I say “stop recording”. It is almost as though it doesn’t think it is recording, even the red light is flashing indicating it is. This is when there is no recording on the file segment. Aaarrgghh ! I am losing confidence in it 😢 So few people have had issues, and I definitely can’t find anyone on RU-vid who has experienced the same as me. This set up you have now looks amazing, but I am not confident enough to go and buy another DJI 😢

Since you saying about turning off the voice prompt, I haven’t had any more issues, though I did replace the sd card at the same time. Something else I have now done, as I no longer use the voice prompt, I was finding the recording button hard to use, especially in gloves, so I stuck a self adhesive button on the camera, which has raised it by about 3mm. If you watch my later vids,scroll to where the camera is facing me, you can see what I mean. Cheers

As an Action 4 owner, I'm quite excited by this. We use the Rode Wireless Go2 to get our joint audio from two bikes onto one camera.

@WheelieGoodTV 5 месяцев назад

You can definitely record two mics but the range is a bit shit. Not any further than 100ft really and has to be line of sight. I’ve only done tests stationary and not moving on a bike so this could reduce it even more.

Great video about a subject that has us tearing our hair out most of the time 😂 We really struggle on our channel with audio quality using the Osmo action 4 and we’ve tried so many different options and configurations to try and solve the problem. I wonder if you’d mind me asking a question or two. As we’re off travelling again on the bikes in a couple of days in a last bid attempt to up the quality of our sound I’ve ordered this wireless mic. Because I record audio from both of us through the intercom I have a lav mic next to the speaker in the helmet to record our conversations. Would I be right in assuming that the wireless mic won’t draw any (or very little) power if it only comes on when you press the recording button on the camera? I’m hoping that it will last a full day on our travels if it only draws power when we activate the camera Sorry for such a long comment, but thanks again for a great video

@WheelieGoodTV 2 месяца назад

I’m worried you may have misunderstood a little bit. When the camera is powered up it doesn’t power up the mic, the mic has to stay powered up permanently. However, the good news is that the battery in the transmitter will last approximately 4 hrs before needing a quick charge. One annoying thing though is that in the latest firmware upgrade, if the transmitter doesn’t detect a receiver ie in this case it is the camera since the receiver is built into the camera then the transmitter powers down after 15 minutes which is ridiculous. I have addressed this with DJI and explained why this just doesn’t work for motorcyclists. As a result of this I now use a DJI wired lav mic through the DJI audio adapter and bought the GPS remote to trigger the camera. At least there’s one less battery to worry about charging now on a tour. Enjoy your travels and I hope the system works out for you. 🙏

@wanderinghonda7963 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for the reply, it’s wonderful to have an expert in the field to provide new ideas particularly with the incredibly tricky audio issues around motovloging. I bought the DJI audio adapter in the hope that it would alleviate the dreadful clipping that occurs with this camera and a lav mic in a helmet but the result was dreadful. The audio was unusable. It’s interesting that a lav mic and the adapter works for you without clipping, I might try it again perhaps with the new DJI lav mic. Thanks also for the information about the mic lasting four hours before needing a quick charge. Unfortunately, that won’t work for us so I’ll definitely be returning the wireless system and attempting yet another lav mic set up 😂 I’m actually delighted to be able to provide you with a bit of information in return for your wonderfully detailed reply. The auto shut off feature in the latest firmware upgrade can be switched off. (According to DJI support). Apparently the Osmo action 4 menu needs updating so you can’t do it from the action 4 menu but it can be done via the pocket three menu. You can disable the auto shutdown feature so that mic should stay on. Hope that helps and thanks again for such a detailed reply.

On the camera screen swipe left from the right hand side. You will get the Pro settings page, press the little studio mic 🎙️ symbol and it’s in there.

Thanks! Today DJI present Mic2) Did you notice, how hard bluetooth connection discharge the camera?

@WheelieGoodTV 5 месяцев назад

No I didn’t, I haven’t ridden for a full day yet using this kit due to the crap weather here in Ireland. I’ll look out for that though…🤔

Recieved my dji mic 2. Still weather in Russia is not comfortable for test. Do you have any updates about battery life of camera?

@17cream 3 месяца назад

I use the gps remote and the action 4. The remote can put the camera in sleep mode. Would the mic2 stay connected or would there still be the 25 sec delay in syncing that you observed for wake up?

@WheelieGoodTV 3 месяца назад

Good question and unfortunately the answer is it still takes 25seconds. I also have the remote and this glitch in the system still makes it unusable for me.

Hi mate, i`m hiking over here in Scotland with the bluetooth connection to my Osmo action4 and im finding the same problem When i start recording it sometimes takes ages for the mic to connect to the camera which is a pain in the butt sometimes it connects right away sometimes after 10secs sometimes over 20secs, very unreliable...might have to do what your doing and keep the camera on.

@WheelieGoodTV 4 месяца назад

Yes I’m surprised they still haven’t released a firmware update. DJI did respond to the issue on my channel but have since gone quiet again which makes me think they can’t find the answer to the issue just yet. I’ve had to stop using this configuration as a result because it’s not practical.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the video, this was exactly the information that I was searching for. I also have the Action 3 and the Pocket 3, and I was wondering if you could connect the Mic2 to the Action 4. I yesterday connected DJI directly, but they told me that it isn't possible.... I have the DJI Mic (1) now connected to the Action 3, but have it mounted directly in the helmet. If you want to know how, I'm happy to share it by e-mail to you (pictures). I only see that I have a lot more wind noice....

the latest action4 v01.03.08.20 firmware on Jan 10 seems fixed the pop audio thing. do you upgrade the latest firmware?

@WheelieGoodTV 5 месяцев назад

Yes I’ve upgraded but still a lot of popping. 🤯

@jacklawes5703 5 месяцев назад

Hopefully the mic2 isn't locked to only work with DJI products after the Osmo Pocket 3 and they will release firmware with support for the action 3 and other products... I'm presuming the Mic2 does everything on its own and is just using the paired device as a storage and controller...

@WheelieGoodTV 5 месяцев назад

It won’t work with the Action 3 without the receiver because the 3 doesn’t have a built in receiver. However, I’d say this tech will be standard in all of their future cams.

The Mic 2 pairs with my iPhone 15 Pro Max through Bluetooth.

@jacklawes5703 5 месяцев назад

@@AidanPed yeah I spoke with DJI support and there's no hardware within the Action 4 so it's purely firmware... I'd say a update will be out to let you use them.

Hey, hey mate ...is any way to get the sound wireless and connect this mic with a Sena system (so we can have the soundand conversation when we travel with other riders or passengers ???) Its a big deal for a lot of riders i believe. Thanks if you do have any suggestions!!!!(and even if you dont😂)

@WheelieGoodTV 5 месяцев назад

Great question but one I haven’t experimented with yet. Bruce @teapotone is the master when it comes to this. Watch his recent vids around Scotland, the sound is amazing from the comms and his helmet cam.

Is their a reason why i cannot access the gain settings for the mic 2 on the action 4 . Through Pro and then clicking on the mic symbol?

@WheelieGoodTV Месяц назад

@Saucey65 9 дней назад

I've seen threads where people say the mics over bluetooth directly to the action 4 pick up a lower quality of sound than it would with a receiver plugged in.

@WheelieGoodTV День назад

Mmm I haven’t noticed that in fairness. Maybe it’s been rectified with a firmware update. 🤔

@Saucey65 День назад

Good to know because I would honestly love have some better less wind struck audio for my clips @@WheelieGoodTV

Aiii, the 25 seconds delay is a complete no-go for me. The old Osmo Action with a lavalier mice in the helmet records immediately. Its far from perfect, but sound delay is just a showstopper. Thanks a lot for this review!

I Got the GoPro 12 just because of Bluetooth so I can connect it directly to my helmet comms. Since I'm using the Shuberth C5, which already has everything embedded, there are no wires, no need to weird setups. I just have 2 issues: 1) Bluetooth connection takes time so no insta capture like you mentioned. 2) Haven't figured a way to have 2 active connections meaning I either connect to my passenger helmet or the GoPro (still checking on this). I barely done any sound quality testing so I can't really say much about that either apart from that it works. Also, the GoPro still saves both tracks (Camera mic + bluetooth track) Thanks for the info, always cool to check how others are doing it
