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

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.

This adapter works perfectly with my GoPro 10. Best to buy the mini cage so it can sit under the camera and plug into the USB slot. A bit pricey but completely worth it. Also make sure you buy a quality mic that can pin to your lapel

If you're serious about getting great audio on your GoPro, you need the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter. No matter if you're into vlogging, filmmaking, or living life on the edge, top-notch sound is just as vital as mind-blowing visuals. With this adapter, your audio will be as crystal clear as your video. A crucial point to highlight is the importance of having the right audio cable.

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.

Works great when pared with a cage to add exteral mic to a go pro.

Product is not waterproof and you need to cover the c port (maybe with tape) if you experience different weather conditions when using

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.

Like many other GoPro Hero 6 users I wasn't too happy about the price and size of this dongle just to add external audio to the camera, but bought it to make use of my Rode Video Micro for a vlogging rig. I was able to secure it to my camera by zip tying it to a cheese plate with a threaded grip mounted to an aluminum housing, a complicated but effective and solid solution. Pros: -Huge improvement in audio quality - (Be sure to enable Standard Mic + for best results with the Rode) Cons: -USB C on dongle does not pass charging to the GoPro, can't charge while in use, and the male USB-C on the dongle is quickly becoming loose from constantly unplugging it to charge the camera -Cost, $50 is a lot for a dongle -Size, You have to be creative to add this to your rig -Short cable, limits mounting options, and puts strain on the USB-C connection on the camera -Camera is not waterproof with the dongle connected Update: Just came home from a vacation to find a 1-hour video totally silent, it seems the USB-C connector is now working intermittently. Check your audio, can't re-shoot a vaction, pretty bummed.
