Well, i got my info wrong and purchased an Action 3 a couple days ago, I have purchased 10 dji products, an original osmo, osmo pocket, a phantom 4 pro, a ronin gimbal, the dji follow focus and 4 dji action cams, i used the original action cam on a helmet for a while but the lack of horizon level makes what i'm using it for nauseatingly untenable, so I purchased the Osmo Action 3 exclusively for the horizon leveling aspect while believing i would be able to charge and use an external lav mic at the same time, I do LONG construction videos while I narrate the process, I place the mic very close to my mouth with a dead cat windscreen on it, this way when i'm running saws and drills and hammering or sanding etc, my voice gets picked up nicely and the background noise stays way off in the distance, I finally broke down and bought an insta360 a while back because of the horizon leveling, they indeed have a Cynova type usb-c/3.5 adapter that allows you to charge and external mic simultaneously, the only drag is i have to go into the insta360 software to get what i need, a whole extra step, but in reality that extra step is worth it as otherwise my audio is pure garbage. That said if the original osmo action had horizon leveling i would've been completely happy with the Cynova adapter as it charged and external mic'd simultaneously, it worked great, the idea that dji would even think to put the osmo 3 out without the ability to charge/external mic at the same time is completely absurd imo, this Osmo Action 3 will be returned this weekend when i have time, back to the insta360 and the other 4 stationary Osmo action originals, very disappointing
fwiw, with the insta360 I can and have recorded 100's of hours of horizon balanced video/audio and charged simultaneously at 2.7k to 4k reso 24fps with a 500gig sd card till it runs out, no problems, that equates up to 10 hours straight with minor breaks sometimes! Same with my 4 Osmo Action originals minus the horizon balance, it's a shame the 3 is completely useless to me |
