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

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.

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.

Works as advertised.

WORKS AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO

Works great, but feel like its over priced.
