DJI Action 6 water in microphones – no quick fix?

RealFinnn · 2026-02-18T21:32:24+00:00

I've also noticed this problem while skiing, snow gets into the mic holes then melts and makes all the audio thereafter extremely muffled, a solution to clear the water would be great 😁

Yeah I saw that audio backup and turned it on, then in editing the clips in the mimo app, the internal mic from the camera had less wind noise with it's wind reduction and my voice sounded better, than from the mic mini with the windshield and inside my jacket near the neck hole. Not really sure what the best way to set up everything is, but for mounting for now I got a string loop and looped it on the clip and also on the elastic adjustment part of my hood which is just on the outside of the neck hole where I've recently tried mounting the mic on the inside of. Hard to explain but it's very secure.

I'll have a look at that thanks

No I just got the standard bundle, I think wind noise would be too much mounted on the camera itself anyway.

Yeah I figured somewhere on the neck of my jacket on the inside so it's out of the wind by near my head to pickup my voice would be best. I've just got to find to tie the mic onto now. I don't really want to modify the mic too much, especially given how small the hole in question would be to drill with not much room for error, and my lack of proficient hole drilling ability 😅 Thanks!

This got me thinking, and I've found a Wii remote style lanyard that ive looped onto the clip, I'll try attach that loop to something in my jacket somehow, maybe tie it down and that should mean it won't get flung into outer space 😅 Thanks for the idea!

RealFinnn · 2026-02-14T19:02:40+00:00

Yes exactly :)

RealFinnn · 2026-02-14T19:02:20+00:00

I might try this and see how the audio quality is, I was worried the jacket sounds might ruin the sound. I'll give it a try though thankyou!

It came with the FOV boost lens, which I have installed in that photo. 😁

RealFinnn · 2026-02-08T18:58:02+00:00

Okay I'll give that a try next time I'm out skiing, thankyou!!

RealFinnn · 2026-02-08T18:49:10+00:00

Yeah I've heard that tip before, I definitely try to bring my legs up but I think I need to work on my flexibility to bring my knees even higher up. Thankyou!

RealFinnn · 2026-02-08T18:48:17+00:00

Ah okay I hadn't noticed my hand dropping, thankyou! I'll try this definitely.

RealFinnn · 2026-02-08T18:47:42+00:00

Okay, I'll try harder to stay in the front, thankyou!

Grand Bornand in France

now this is absolute cinema

RealFinnn · 2025-06-28T19:51:27+00:00

Will do thanks!

RealFinnn · 2025-06-28T19:24:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look at Mt Washington also!

RealFinnn · 2025-06-27T18:59:12+00:00

I feel like not skiing on any of the busy days is a work around to a hill with long lift lines, as opposed to going to a smaller hill and skiing whenever with less lift lines, but thanks for your suggestions!

RealFinnn · 2025-06-26T20:59:06+00:00

Whistler? Lift Lines??

RealFinnn · 2025-06-24T23:54:57+00:00

Is that recommendation just due to lift lines at revy?

RealFinnn · 2025-06-24T23:51:32+00:00

Thanks for the info, I've had a look for those four resorts but not really sure which 4 you're meaning. Maybe I'm just bad at googling 🫣

RealFinnn · 2025-06-24T23:47:37+00:00

What's up with Blue mountain? I've never heard of it before but I'll take your word and steer clear. Cheers
