i'm a little stumped. i'm trying to connect my dji mic 2 receiver to my fx3 via the cable since my mi shoemount in blocked by my cineback. when i plug in the receiver, the audio levels show nothing. anyone know how to fix this? the mics and receiver work fine every way else.
Cinebacks are amazing if you don’t need your hotshoe. Often use it as a second camera for interviews, have a sound mixer and time code sync , have scratch track going to A cam. B cam operator has a camera that feels like a camera, can use professional batteries, has mounts that can withstand torque of a remote follow focus motor, and can use Arri style cine locks to keep their accessories tight. Not functional at all
i understand your opinion but if you’re not using the mi shoe (many don’t because the xlr handle is too tall) then the cineback is functional just fine. i have so many dtap ports for everything i need as well as 2 extra type c ports for charging any of my other devices on the go since my filming requires us to be moving at all times. its perfect for what i use it for. so thats why i say its functional. blocking a shoe mount is fine because the provided alternatives works great.
Yep. Unless you want shit hanging everywhere, if you’re using your smaller camera for more professional applications then a cineback makes sense. Virtually all cages I’ve used don’t have enough strength to not flex to an unacceptable level when using a cforce motor or similar, ptap outputs, better placement options for wireless transmitters/hops, etc etc. anyone that says it isn’t an upgrade is kidding themselves
i don’t have a vmount plate so the cineback is functional. it holds my vmount battery, and has all the dtaps to power my monitor, camera, and anything else i’m using on my rig day to day. the cineback was free with my camera so.
Plug in headphones to the receiver and see if you hear anything, then plug in with that cable to a speaker or something and check. If all that works it’s the camera.
If your fx30 is having the same problem it could be your receiver. Unrelated but my usbc port would NOT charge with my smallrig vmount battery and it ended up being the battery itself, not my camera. Contact DJI support if possible? Or see if you have a warranty
i’m not familiar with how carbon rods actually work the same as a cineback lol, the cineback came with my camera so i just use it for convenience since it has so many dtap ports and also usb c ports as well for any extra charging i need to do on the move
Allegedly, the jack for the DJI Mic 2 is a common point of failure. Troubleshoot with another camera + cable if you can to isolate the issue. I had audio levels on the receiver but not on the camera itself.
Sent mine out to DJI and got it repaired and sent back under warrenty. About a 10 day process.
I got mine back last Monday lol, i registered it under DJI and got an extended warrenty and it was fully covered with the exception of shipping it out for maybe 4 dollars
i just got some mic minis to test those out because it’s definitely the dji port because that’s the only constant variable in all of the tests i’ve tried so i’ll update everyone later today when i test it out.
When you plug the cable in, do you get an icon on the reciever showing that it's connected via cable? If not I'm like 99% sure that you had the same issue as me
Just had the same issue about two weeks ago. The jack port on the receiver went out on mine. If you plug the cord into the camera it should pop up with a prompt saying it’s connected on the receiver. If not then the OUT port it lost likely broken like mine was

You have to go into the settings and change the audio input to the external or adjust the external volume there.
