Hi all,

I'm trying to connect my DJI Mic 2 receiver to my Action cam 4, so I can have both mics feed into the camera.
If I connect the receiver directly using the usb C connector, it works, but then I have to remove the latch on the side, otherwise it doesn't fit...
So I bought a usb C male to female cable to put in between the two so the latch can stay attached to the camera... But now it doesn't work...
Eventhough they are connected, the camera does not pick up on the Mic receiver. There is no green audio bar on my screen, registering the audio from the mic receiver now...

Do I need a special usb C male to female cable?

Is there another way of connecting them? I read that using bluetooth you can only connect one mic, not both... And I need to be able to connect both...

Also, as a side question: is there a camera cage available with a horse shoe mount so the receiver can be attached to the camera?
Thanks a lot!!!

Kind regards,
Peter

Remove the door, use the rx.  no way around it. I no longer look for type C  extendors , DI  will not release one or others made one good luck

So an extender cable does not work, regardless which one? It has to be connected without any piece in between?

A normal USB-C cable works. I Just tested with the cable that came with my DJI Action 4. The DJI Mic 2 receiver has a USB-C port that you can plug the cable into.

Oh wow!!! That does work indeed!!! So cool... And weird... Because I did try that earlier... And then it didn't... I must have done something wrong...
But it does work now!!! Super cool. So... Is there a protective camera cage available for the Action Cam 4 either by DJI or by a third party vendor that allows the RX to be clipped on by the horse shoe slider?
Thanks a lot,
Kind regards,
Peter

Ulanzi, neewr they make cages for it

Hello, there. Thank you for sharing this query with us. We're glad to know that you've found a workaround to this setup. Currently, Osmo Action 4 only supports connecting to a maximum of one DJI Mic 2 transmitter. We hope you'll find the best recommendations that you may need regarding this accessory. Thank you for your support.

For the original Osmo Action cage I recommend the Ulanzi OA-19 cold shoe adapter

thanks   for the confirming Lutzmix,

I would not want to lose or break the USB side door, Adding an extender also brings in to being more careful, not to damage the port. IMHO.  I personally remove and place to the side, just me

Thanks for all the replies! Ulanzi cold shoe clip has been ordered

you have to wonder when these companies are gonna get the people who actually use this gear to help with design suggestions?  Fancy selling 2 transmitters but you can't connect them.  But hey then you can via another companies cold shoe and bracket.  Why not put a cold shoe on the action and add a usb-c port or a 3.5 port for the receiver????  seems so simple and easy.  bet even the 5 comes out without these most ordinary advancements.

I'm still hoping the 5 will allow two mics to be connected via bluetooth

Insta made a snap on one. Maybe DJI can do the same
