There are some topics about this here if you look through all pages.

It is probably best to get a usb-c adapter and use any TRS mic.
BOYA BY-K4 is the adapter I use and it works great, but with a BOYA lav-mic it tend to be too loud so any cheap mic will do great.

A neat little directional mic that works via a usbC adapter is the Deity D4 mini. It’s a mini super cardioid mic that you can place on top of a frame, if you have one for the action and plug in a lavalier as well into the side of the D4 mini. That way, you can record anything in front while rejecting rear but pick your own voice up on the lav. Great for running around with the other half. Picks her up on the D4 and you on the lav.

Not for active stuff on bikes etc, but you get some great two way audio this way and still have just the lavalier if that’s all you want at other times.

I have ordered the Boya cable. Any recommends on trs mic?

Is it correct that we cannot have a mic and powerbank connected at the same time? Would a splitter work?
TIA

In theory it should, just need someone to try it out making their own cable/adapter.

So if anyone have soldering equipment and know theese kind, go ahead. And could even 3D print an adapter it would fit in.

It might be a nice idea if DJI produced a proper adapter for their cameras. This hunting around for one that works is a bit silly. I use the Boya and it works well. Not always readily available here though.

Hi there, i´ve bougt the Comica Vimo C3 wireless lav mic and Comica gave me a USB C to 3,5 mm cable, that fits perfectly in the mic receiver and in the OA3. But, the OA3 does not recognize the Comica mic.

So, I guess, that not every cable can be used? (It works fine withe the TRRS/TRS cable and the 3,5 mm/USB C adapter from apple.)

Hello, I have a question related to the microphone.  before I buy a wireless one in the future, I need a microphone for a motorcycle helmet.  How to shorten the cable in such as in the picture?  you need a maximum of 50 cm and there are 3 meters?  Cut and solder?  How do you solve this problem?  Thank you in advance for your help.
