GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter for (All HERO Cameras) - Official GoPro Accessory

So I've had this Mic adapter for a few months now and it works fine and all.First I wish it wasn't 50 bucks. I mean that's not terrible but it feels like an after-market kick in the shin to me.As I'm editing a video I now see that this mic adapter was slightly unplugged from the gopro and i've lost all of my audio. Now that's my fault I guess. Still terrible. Although I do find the plug in to be kind of loose. I'm talking a few thou off of a smooth satisfying fit. The connection wobbles and it just doesn't feel good. There is no other option to convert audio without this device. Relating back to the 50 dollar kick in the shin.Go Pro. Guys if you're listening I don't care if you have to make the next go pro twice as large I would still buy it if I could just plug in a microphone without having to buy this adapter. I really hope the age of making devices smaller and smaller is over. I don't care if its the size of a Gameboy color. I buy your cameras because they take more of a beating than my DSLR. That and I really like your passion for 60fps.. I think you are lacking in universal simplicity when it comes to this part. I reluctantly bought this. I didn't jump to buy this.I gave you guys 5 stars because I still needed this thing. It works fine but I'm not very trustworthy of its craftsmanship when considering reliability and longevity. Of course I bought the case to hold this from dangling. Which makes me think I would have paid you for a whole package anyway. Why isn't this adapter just a case in itself? Like something I can slap my go pro into and a mic port is all I have to worry about.It's just an idea Go Pro. I'd rather you be built like an old gameboy or a nokia in some ways. I still love you but you don't need to be so tiny. Throw a mic port in there. I don't care if you get a little fat. I still gave you a good rating.

This adapter works just as I was hoping it would. I use it to connect the line out of my Zoom Q3 HD and H8 cameras using a 3.5 mm stereo cable to my GoPro 11 Black. It even charges the GoPro while attached. I like the image from the GoPro 11 better than the Zoom’s but the Zoom mics provide better audio than the GoPro’s and are convenient to take on the road. As long as I set the line out audio output to 50% on the Zoom cameras, I do not experience any clipping either . While the GoPro’s internal mic provides decent audio, the audio quality and stereo imaging are enhanced greatly using this device.Update: I think this issue is intermittent but I noticed that sometimes the stereo audio would be summed to mono. The workaround I found was to follow a simple process of 1. Power up the GoPro, 2. Plug in the Media Mod, 3. Plug in the mics, 4. Plug in the power for the Media Mod. This seems to work all the time. I love this Media Mod now. With the Zoom mics from the other cameras, it makes a simple, compact solution for live streaming and even for capturing high quality recordings of my piano performances. The Media Mod is a no brainer if you are a musician looking to capture decent quality audio for your music videos.

If you want to use an external microphone with your GoPro, this is the adapter to get. It worked exactly as expected and the audio quality was much better than the built-in mic. It's a little pricey for what it is, but it does the job reliably.

I was about ready to absolutely trash this device in a review, and then return it. After spending forty bucks, I was really disappointed. It didn't work at all. But then I thought I'd be fair, and try a different approach.If you plug this GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter into the camera along with, say, a lapel mic, and then turn on the camera to start recording, it won't work. Not at all. It's not that it will record poppy, scratchy, bad, or poor quality sound. It won't record sound at ALL.However, if you power up the camera, then plug the adapter and mic in, it WILL record high-quality sound (assuming that you've got, say, a high-quality lapel mic). Garbage in = garbage out (so invest in a good mic). But don't blame the adapter. I tested this device not only with the new GoPro HERO (2018) but also the GoPro HERO5 Session. It worked with both cameras. However, it would appear that the cameras need to recognize the adapter and then the insertion of a 3.5mm mic or other input before it will allow recording with an external device.I do have one complaint though, and that's the reason for the 4/5 star rating. This thing is overpriced. You know it, I know it, and GoPro knows it. They could have built a mic jack into the camera, or sell this adapter for five bucks. They are gouging us, but they know they can because no one else makes a reliable and working GoPro mic adapter.Still, I'm keeping mine. The internal GoPro mics are horrible, and this gives me crystal-clear audio using a lapel mic.Cheers.

I'm thankful i got this mic adapter for my hero 7. I was super tired of carrying around a big DSLR camera for short and quick vlogs, but also worrying about if my DSLR would be safe from any water or even worse drops... I highly dislike the internal mic of the go pro's so improvised and bought a cold shoe for my go pro also with a mic. It works super great and its quick to just throw in my bag and not carry to much things on my travels. The only thing i'm kinda worried about for not myself but for others is the sound quality and durability of the cord. In one of my videos i recorded i long video which was my first time using the go pro mic adapter. The sound was kinda making a high pitch static noise which was odd to me but i'm not sure if it was the adapter or the cord was to stiff to bend to connect it into the go pro which made it not connect all the way in. The price of this adapter also seemed a little bit more pricey than i expected for a small mic adapter box plus i had to improvise to find a way to keep it secured from hitting my go pro while i'm vlogging. The new Go pro hero 8 also came out and i'm worried when i get it I won't be able to use it. But other than that i still have this product and it works well, with no issues at all! Highly Recommend!!!

Works great if you set it up properly. The adapter is bulky - no doubt about that! It fits well and it works well. No sound issues and the mic I use (Rode) sounds amazing with my Hero 6. There are a LOT of other reviews on here that say you can use some cheap headphone adapter that works with Moto z or other devices - WRONG! DO NOT listen to those reviews, I made that mistake and just got my refund after wasting my time ordering all kinds of products that do NOT work. It sucks, because this is way over priced and it's bulky, but it works and there are no sound or connection issues. Sometimes the seller changes the product without updating the listing so they can keep the reviews, but if that was the case, I think this seller would have been better off listing this as a new product. A lot of people mentioned using this with their session or hero 4... I don't even think that's possible because this adapter is USB C.While I hate the size and price, I had to write a review that clearly explains who this is for and what to expect. That is the reason I gave it 5 stars - because no one else did. Ignore the other reviews because they are very misleading.

Does what it's designed to do. Can't really beat this, especially since it's official from GoPro. Only problem is the overprice.

Gopro really knocked it out of the park with this one. Hobbling their cameras so you have to purchase extra accessories to use basic, common devices like a microphone with their device.And it's not even that good.People note that the audio can cut out.They make no OEM mounting solution for this dongle--so it just flops around in the wind.And they could've added a second headphone jack for audio-monitering--and, oh, I don't know--and rheostat control or something for the volume levels?For $50 I'd expect something other than a glorified Y-splitter.This is some real bs.And don't even get me started on their "Media mod" for the GH8--which they've ditched again for the 9.They think we're just going to buy all new accessories every time they fart out a new model--while the new model's the same as the old model--I'll pass.BlackMagic will destroy them if their price ever comes down.All GoPro really has these days is the name.

L'adattatore è ok, costo eccessivo ,non comodo da fissare se usato sul casco potevano studiarlo meglio ....

Excelente! Funciona como deveria. Uma pena a câmera não ter a entrada de 3,5mm logo de cara como as GoPros 1 a 3, mas é a vida.

good 💯

It works how you this it should and works in light rain too.

説明書も一切必要ないくらいシンプルです。とても使いやすい。だからこそ値段が高いな〜と思ってしまう。あとは、ケーブル部分がもう少し長いと使い勝手がいいかなと思いました。水辺では使用しておりませんので、耐水性に関しましてはコメントを控えさせていただきます。
