Questions & Answers

Is there anything wrong with the smaller, simpler and more convenient connector for the Hero 4? Are those who use GoPro trying to upset them?

As far as I know, I do not represent GoPro by any means, but my guess would be that due to the amount of technology in the Hero 5, they may have left out the hardware to record with an external microphone to save space in the camera. Even though people complain, I also have one of these, and it's not very In addition, you can get a USB-based device Plugging a C-type jack into a USB port The adaptor should not be placed near the camera and should be connected to an extension cable. In my opinion, having a charging port that can be combined with an external microphone is superior to having a small adapter.

Are there plans to make this work with ?

The answer is yes. With a firmware update set for release in December, the HERO9 Black will once again run the app.

Why is this part priced at 400% more than it should be? Price gouging of the highest order! ?

It's as good as mine that they changed to this adapter for these five, six, and seven inch screens Approximately seven years earlier, there was one.

Would you be able to use it for Hero ?

Added to my hero 6 but didn't work

Selected User Reviews For GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter for (HERO8 Black/HERO7 Black/HERO6 Black/HERO5 Black) - Official GoPro Accessory

There was a loud pop like the sound of an aircraft
3/5

There are a number of problems! The company's nbsp purchased this even though it was a bit bulky, and I had to return it to GoPro because the three screws were loose. The female input slot is 5 mm wide. Mic male 3 was so tight, I could barely hold it. This input spec calls for a 5mm cable. There was also a slight consistent helicopter noise, and it would occasionally fail to record. It made plenty of helicopter noise when I used it and it would consistently record without sound when you pressed the record button. I told GoPro about it, and they sent me a new one. If you wish to record sound consistently with the adapter, you will need to download an app on your cell phone. It was extremely loud and unbearable because the sound was like that of a helicopter. Buy the following instead of wasting your money The Moto Z Type C to 3 is a 1. 2 to 1. 4 liter engine. 2 Pack of 5mm Audio Adapters for Headphones for Mac and PC In C to 3, the following sentences are translated. For $7, you can buy 5mm. You can buy it on Amazon for 99 cents. I love it!.

Hero 5, Hero 6 and Hero 7 are the only devices that will work with this
5/5

You need to set it up properly for it to work. There is a lot of bulk in the adapter You can bet on it! The fit is good and the functionality is good as The Rode microphone I use (on my Hero 6) sounds amazing and does not cause any issues with the sound. lot of reviews on here that suggest you can use one or another high-quality headphone adapter to use with your Moto Z or other device This is incorrect! Listen to the critics as they are all false. I made that mistake and I’ve just got my refund after spending a lot of time and money on useless products. Usually the seller changes the item without updating the listing so they can keep the reviews, but in this case, I think the seller should have priced this item differently and listed it as a new product. Several people mentioned using this with their Hero 4 or session. Since this adapter uses USB C, I do not think that's even possible. Even though I hate the size and price of this doll, I want to write a review that clearly explains what this doll is for and what to expect. I gave it a 5 out of 5 because of those reasons. They didn't do it because nobody else did it. It is best to disregard the other reviews due to the fact that.

THIS ONLY WORKS WITH A TRS 3
3/5

BEFORE YOU BUY, KNOW THAT. There are five microphones. The fact that the adapter only works with TRS microphones really left a bad taste in my mouth. Those of you who do not know what TRS male 3 means should investigate it. You don't have to blame me The 5 cable is Compared to TRRS headphone cables with four sections, it's a headphone cable with three If your TRRS microphones support TRRS to TRS conversion, you will need to buy a TRRS to TRS converter (I recommend the MOVO converter) for it to work with the Gopro Microphone. It would have been nice if they had included one with this overpriced product or even mentioned it on their product page so their customers have to waste their time figuring out how to get their microphone to work, and then spend even.

You can use it if you understand how to set it up and how to use it
4/5

In the process of reviewing this device, I was all set to trash it, return it, and never use it again. As soon as I spent forty bucks, I felt extremely I tried it, but it did not work. After that, I thought I would be fair and try another If you plug this GoPro Pro 3 into a computer, it will display the following message. In this case, the 5mm Mic Adapter as well as a lapel mic cannot be plugged into the camera, so when you turn it on and try to begin recording, you'll get an error message. That's not the case There is no likelihood it will record a poor sound or produce sound that is poppy, scratchy, or of low quality. The sound will not be recorded at all. You WILL be able to record high-quality video if you plug in the adapter and mic after you turn the camera on and turn it on. (your sound card ideally should provide you with "quality" sounds A lapel microphone of excellent quality). The best mic is one that isn't dripping in garbage (good mic = great output). The adapter is not to blame. In addition to the new GoPro HERO (2018), I tried this device with the GoPro HERO5 Session as well. I tried it with both cameras and it worked. There seems to be a problem when it comes to the cameras, in that they must recognize the adapter and then the 3 has to be inserted. This software does not allow you to record with an external device until you plug in a 5mm mic or other input device.

I do have one complaint, and that's the reason I gave it 4/5 stars. There is no way this thing is worth the price. The truth is known to us all, to GoPro as well. If the camera came with a microphone jack, or if this adapter were selling for five bucks, they would have made more money. It is the only place to get a reliable and working GoPro mic adapter, so they are gouging us, but they know they can get away with it. I still keep mine, as the internal GoPro mics are crappy and this offers sound quality that I can't get from the stock mics A lapel mic is used to get clear audio. Thanks for reading.

Getting it is horrible, but it must be done
3/5

You'll be hooked by the GoPro! The prices are way too high and the size is too large. You can at least make this adapter easier to use if you want to trap people into using it.

That is a lot of stuff
3/5

For the gopro 5, the mic adapter works great, but due to its large size it is difficult to mount on the camera. With any tripod or mount I use, I find it difficult to figure out whether to place the large adapter on top or on the bottom. No matter how I get it, it seems to get in the way. There is currently only one device that can be used with the gopro 5 or 6 that will allow a microphone to be plugged in. There used to be aftermarket adapters but Gopro has changed it so that they work only with their models. Thanks for reading! If this review was informative, please click the yes button.

You need to be careful when buying! The name brand product I purchased here is quite possibly one of the most frustrating and annoying I've ever used
3/5

I can't recommend that you buy it since it does not work reliably enough to warrant the expense. There is no proper connection between the mic jack and the plug because the mic jack is so poorly designed. It is rare that audio is collected more than 25% of the time. This is not a good choice if you're doing an interview or recording any video where the audio is important. How many times have I thought the audio recording of my phone had been successful only to find out it did not work. One of the worst parts is that you can't check if it's working until you review the video on the camera after recording or uploading it. In fact, the only reason I've continued to use it is because I'm not aware of a more efficient solution that incorporates an external microphone.

It's important to be aware that the 3 could have a Quality Control Issue
3/5

An adapter with a 5mm female connector has been provided. On this adapter, there is a female 5mm connection. Using the Rode VideoMic Me with my phone does not produce sound, but if I plug it all the way into this adapter, the sound does not The Rode VideoMic will work if I pull it out of the adapter for about one click, but I am on the verge of disconnecting it. I consider the one that I have now unusable for my needs at this time. A few others online also seem to experience the same problem, so there must be a quality control issue with some of these. It's a $50 loss for me now.
