- Connect Adapter to Camera: Carefully insert the USB-C male connector of the Saramonic SR-C2006 adapter into the USB-C port of your DJI camera. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Connect Microphone: Plug your external 3.5mm TRS microphone, wireless receiver, or audio mixer output cable into the 3.5mm female jack of the SR-C2006 adapter.

Operating Instructions
Once the Saramonic SR-C2006 adapter and your external microphone are connected to your DJI Osmo Pocket or DJI Pocket 2, the camera should automatically detect the external audio input. Follow these steps for optimal operation:
- Power On: Turn on your DJI Osmo Pocket or DJI Pocket 2 camera.
- Microphone Power: If your external microphone requires its own power source (e.g., battery-powered), ensure it is turned on. The SR-C2006 provides plug-in power for microphones that require it, eliminating the need for separate batteries for some microphone types.
- Audio Monitoring (if available): If your microphone or camera setup allows for audio monitoring, use headphones to check the audio levels and quality before recording.
- Recording: Begin recording video as usual. The camera will now capture audio from the connected external microphone.
- Disconnecting: When finished, power off your camera and microphone, then carefully disconnect the adapter and microphone.
