I want to be able to use this with an external micro phone, does it set forward enough in horizontal shooting that the cord into the phone is not obstructed by the Osmo?  

Hi. Thank you for reaching out to DJI Forum with your inquiry. I hope our valued DJI members can provide you the best response to your query. Thank you for your valued support.

Bumping for answer, can anyone help me with this. Even if you use an Android, this should be the same.

I have tried it with an lightning connector attached to an rode filmmaker mic but I had to place the receptor in to my pocket. The main problem is that the dji mimo didn’t work with the mic so I end up getting nice videos but no sound at all

Does someone knows if the dji mimo app work with external mics on an iPhone 11?
