At a premium price-tag of £35/$35 for the official DJI accessory, consumers felt obligated to hunt for cheaper alternatives but very few work successfully, infact the majority do not.

We have tested a third party 3.5mm to USB-C adapter with the DJI Osmo Pocket as well as the latest DJI Osmo Action camera and unfortunately our testing was unsuccessful, this is frustrating for consumers and we hope that DJI may in the future consider future devices for compatibility with third-party adapters.
