DJI Mic 2 camera adapter is a specially designed hot shoe adapter for use with DJI Mic 2 and Sony cameras.

DJI Mic 2 connects to the camera via the camera adapter, allowing for digital audio recording and providing power to the DJI Mic 2 receiver. The camera adapter offers a more convenient installation method, and its utilization of digital audio effectively addresses the problem of electrical noise often encountered with Sony cameras. 

If you use a Sony camera with DJI Mic 2 for recording, we recommend using the dedicated DJI Mic 2 camera adapter*.

* The Sony Hot Shoe Adapter cannot be used with DJI Mic 2.

Camera power supply: The hot shoe adapter carries the receiver, and the camera supplies a 73 mA electrical current to the hot shoe.

FAQs 

1. What are the differences between using the DJI Mic 2 camera adapter and using a 3.5 mm camera cable to connect to a Sony camera?

DJI Mic 2 connects to the camera via the camera adapter, allowing for digital audio recording and providing power to the receiver, while DJI Mic 2 connects to the camera using a 3.5 mm camera connection cable, enabling analog audio recording and achieving the "Powering on/off Camera Simultaneously" function.

2. Can the DJI Mic 2 camera adapter be used with DJI Mic?

No.  

3. When I connect DJI Mic 2 to my Sony camera using a DJI Mic 2 Camera Adapter instead of a 3.5 mm camera audio cable, the volume of the recorded audio varies. How do I address this issue?

Follow the Instructions on Recommended Gain for Camera Setup on DJI's official website to set the gain of the receiver and the camera to the recommended levels.
