GoPro Pro 3.5mm Microphone Adapter for Select HERO Cameras

works great, adds external audio to my gopro 11 black mini, and charges at the same time.

This adapter works perfect with my Hero 7, but not at all on the Hero 9. The hero 9 doesn't have the menu option to enable the external mic connection. It seems like the firmware needs an update to enable it. Same problem wit TRS and TRRS sources. It just doesn't work on the Hero 9 as of Sep 20, 2020. I am on the phone with support as I type this, and they made me reset the camera and do a manual update. Nothing works. They claim the support ticket will be escalated internally at their support team.

I run this to get better sound streaming ball games. Just prior to adding the external mic I swapped to the magnetic connector door for power via external battery and to minimize issues during wet weather. This does NOT work with those connectors. I was forced to go to a door with pass through USB. I would like to see this directly off a magnetic connector.

Let me say up front that my use case is outside of what GoPro intended. I record sports that last longer than 15 minutes and have no cooling airflow. This adapter is perfect for adding a mini shotgun microphone, but there's a caveat that you should be aware. This adapter doesn't allow enough current to run the camera from an external battery alone. If you run the camera with external battery along with an internal battery, then it overheats and shuts down. Updated firmware didn't help. Not GoPro's fault, but would have been great if it could have passed more power to the camera.

I moved to a insta 360 because of gopros hacky gadgets for audio. It would have been great if the usbc port on the 13 handled audio. . . but instead we have to bulk it up with accessories that completely defeat the purpose of a gopro in the first place.

I have bought this adapter and it was working fine for some time and now its completely not working never show input mics when attached via adapter. completely waste of money.

The audio quality on my GoPro H6 is inaudible with the native mic. So I had to buy this expensive piece of garbage just to get any audible audio at all. When I plug it in, it's not only about the length of the camera, it's too big and creates an unnecessary addition to the form factor. It's not very secure because it's just plugging in to the USB-C port, the audio still sucks even with a Saramonic mic! Although the sound is now intelligible, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel AND there's an occasional buzzing sound because EVIDENTLY the external mic adapter picks up the buzzing due to the WiFi from the GoPro being ON!! AND, if you haven't noticed. The adapter stupid expensive! Rip off. Very disappointed in GoPro.

A large chunk of change, for a product with terrible reviews that you guys refuse to keep in stock but limit your Hero 5,6, & 7 to? I don't understand. Seriously considering returning my device. Without an external microphone, my hero 7 Black is rendered useless for blogging. So discouraged.....

I use this mic when I'm flying so you can hear the radios on the gopro footage. My old setup with the Hero4 Black and 3.5 adapter worked great. This one has terrible quality, and goes in and out all the time. Not sure if I just got a defective unit or what...

Quase tão grande quanto a gopro hero5, tem um cabo pouco flexivel e muito grosso. Me parece que quando conectado está sempre exercendo pressão no conector de entrada. Para fixar o adaptador a um capacete ou no monopod me parece a coisa mais horrivel do mundo! Numa era onde a tecnologia preza por aparelhos compactos e minimalistas, um acessório quase do tamanho da sua camera é inaceitável! Uma pena que outros cabos usb C com adaptação 3.5mm não funcionem. Existem inumeros deles no mercado e super discretos! A Gopro tem o dever de redesenhar esse acessório e faze-lo menor! ah! E o preço então.... Nem se fale!
