I finally figured out how to attach mics with a 3.5mm jack to the DJI Action 2.  I hope this helps.  Enjoy!

Any android TRRS adapter works :-)   I used a TRS analog mic with a TRRS to TRS adapter works great.

The issue now is finding an adapter that works to charge the camera at the same time.  I tried 2 already and they don't charge and record at the same time only one or the other and the charge takes precedence.

Nice video and good info.  

I really wish that there was a rig that will allow you to attach a cold shoe to the DJI Action 2.  That would be really cool.

Yes, I tried many adapter too!!!  I tried the GoPro audio adapter, Cynova adapter, USB-C hub with multiple ports, etc.  I haven't found any pass through power solution unless you plug a battery bank directly into the camera's USB-C port.

You're welcome!  I've been waiting for the Action 2 for a long time.  Solve many of my problems, but also created a couple of problems for me too.  I'll post more about requested features that can probably be done with firmware updates.  Wait for those videos.

You're welcome!  Yes, I'm waiting on another company to create a heat sync and cold shoe casing for the Action 2.  That'll solve a couple of problems for us power users.

I have two adapters, both doesn't work. And as you showed in the video I have TRRS earphones only, still doesn't work. How can I troubleshoot or what else can I do?

Can you send me a photo or video of what you're attaching?  I'm having a hard time seeing in my head what you're talking about.  Why are yo using TRRS headphone?  I'm obviously missing/misunderstanding something here.

No one has found a solution at all.  It's sad that we can't figure this out by now.
