That's actually my video. Here's what I ended up doing:
I tested connecting via Bluetooth, buying just a DJI Mic 2 transmitter, and connecting to my X4. I thought this would be a great simple approach for motovlogging. But, after many tests, the quality just wasn't there.
I posted and asked questions all over, including both DJI and Insta360 forums, but no one seemed to have any luck with this approach at speeds on a motorcycle.
What I learned was that the bluetooth connection is fine for simple audio needs, but just doesn't cut it when motovlogging at speed. And, I learned that, when connected via Bluetooth, you cannot use the noise-cancelling feature of the DJI Mic 2 transmitter.
I tried the transmitter in the helmet. I tried connecting my existing lav mic to it that is already in my helmet. And I even tried outside the helmet in various positions.
In the end, I ended buying the DJI Mic 2 1RX 1TX set and a charger. I also purchased the Insta360 mic adapter, and the XMount 360 that allows for easy mounting of the receiver to the X4.
I just got the equipment today, so haven't tested on the bike yet. But other testing shows that this will work great. I can now do 32-it audio if I want. I can use noise cancelling if I want. I can control gain on both the transmitters, and on the receiver as it's going in to the X4. And now that it's connected via the mic adapter, I can see my audio readout lines right on the X4 display.
More money than I planned on spending, but this will do the trick.
After all this, and converting away from GoPro, I wonder if going with the DJI Mic 2 and the DJI Osmo Action 4 would have been a better and easier approach!
