DJI OSMO Pocket Mic Adapter Tests // USB-C to 3.5mm Microphone Adapter

DJI OSMO Pocket Adapter: dcra.in/2tV6JAT
My Lav Mic: amzn.to/2VRkhKa
TRRS to TRS Adapter (Rode): amzn.to/2CjMgcL
TRRS to TRS Adapter (cheaper): amzn.to/2CwdWeD
Here's a quick look at the new DJI OSMO Pocket microphone adapter (USB-C to 3.5mm). This is the actual official adapter, since none of the 3rd party USB-C to 3.5mm adapters work at this point. I've tried both the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter as well as the GoPro USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, and no luck. Others have tried generic ones without luck either.
Remember if using a TRRS microphone (such as the unpowered lav mic I was using), you'll need a TRRS to TRS adapter. A TRRS microphone has three black lines on the plug part, whereas a TRS microphone only has two lines. So, if you have three lines, you need the small adapter (plus the DJI USB-C adapter). Whereas if you have a TRS mic, you don't need the additional adapter. Typically speaking powered mics are TRS and thus don't require an adapter, whereas unpowered mics are TRRS are unpowered mics and do require an adapter. Not always, but roughly.
Note for those curious, I also tried the DJI adapter with my USB-C port on my Mac, and it doesn't work (whereas the Apple one does), and I tried it with the GoPro Hero 7, and it doesn't work there either (whereas the GoPro one does). So it appears this is like all other adapters and it's totally manufacturer specific.
Got all that? Phew!
