Excellent GoPro Hero5 Black Audio with the GoPro External Mic Adapter

[@hhyperdd]

Simply wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this informative video. Nicely done and very succinct.

[@BrewCityRider]

I liked the first one...I believe it was standard setting and no external mike. Very clear and natural. Awesome porch dude!

[@JordanKeyes]

I prefer using the external mic. Helps reduce wind noise and handling noise, and makes it a more direct sound. Without a mic, it's a much wider, more natural sound, but you get a lot of external ambient noise that you may not want.

[@berntey]

Thank you for a very calm and useful review!

[@TriathlonTaren]

Hey Jordan, you mention taking off the door and that's obviously the only way to make the adapter work. Will that then nix and waterproof qualities now that the door is open?

[@skyshotsflorida950]

Great review! Thank you- and the standard with the wireless mic worked best. The "plus" was bordering on over-modulation

[@GabrielGGabGattringer]

Very interesting video & comparison of the GoPro modes, IMHO this "Non powered Plus" setting sounds best! Not muffled noises. Clear voice.

[@JordanKeyes]

NonPowered+ was the best for the Hammer & Anvil mic I tested with, definitely. For the Pinmic, Standard worked really well.

[@MetalfreakApollo]

Jordan Keyes I'd agree with Gabriel as well, the non powered plus setting sounded the best.

[@RayanAbbaszadeh]

i bought a new go pro hero 5 black, and wanna have better sound because i work for TV station and sometimes when i go travel I prefer to use this small device instead of my big camera , but sound is not good . now first of all could you tell me can I use GoPro hero 5 black for tv broadcasting ? and the second one exactly what kind of microphone should i buy

[@ColoradoEveryday]

Thanks for the review. I just installed the mic adapter and did the TheAdamBlack modification using a replacement enclosure. I can't believe how bad the internal mic on the gopro hero 5 is. Way too much boomyness. The external mic fixes that but at quite an overall cost.

[@verdonww]

GOPRO is simply just punishing their customers because they bought HERO5 camera, I am pro photographer and have in camera equipment over $50K, but nobody from "big guns" companies did what they are doing.... How somebody can possible make for own product microphone connection what you have to buy adaptor with the same connection and don't even have own GOPRO microphone.... plus doesn't work with GOPRO gimbal, actually the connector is bulky what what will be impossible for gimbal to be in level..... Instead making horrible gimbals, useless drones and shitting your customers away what about working on Bluetooth microphone, whats the purpose of action camera if you can use it only as regular point and shoot, hope more people will step away from your product soon as possible, it should be illegal to make a product with mind to ripoff the customer !!!!!!!!! GOPRO CRAP!!!!

[@jusgoonin]

The fuckin connector (adapter) is same size as camera is complete absurdity their stock has been plummeting I swear about 4yrs ago I pitched a 4K camera to them which I never heard back maybe that had this in pipeline already

[@SteveOxley1]

the camera and gimbal are good but gopro just needs to make better software updates and think about there decisoins (drone without any sensors wtf)

[@alecjarmain8394]

Verdon Tomajko got to lazy to read but I'm guessing the point of this is you saying the why they are ass holes... here's your fucking medal🥇

[@FoxPeaTwo]

Didn't know about those options! Thanks a lot! Should help out with my audio conundrum

[@chinmarifpv3319]

Good Audio feedback, but also wanted to see how the actual mic was connected to the gopro5.

[@akungwelly]

You forgot to mention that the gopro audio adaptor works only on TRS audio adaptor.

[@ANDREW247]

very nice video! i waited about a 1.5 weeks to get this thing because it wasnt in stock on amazon and after recieving the adapter i just figured out that it doesnt work with some mics.

[@JordanKeyes]

Just watched your video, that's odd. You said it doesn't work with some mics, have you tested it with other mics and had it work? What setting did you turn on inside the camera? Standard, Non-powered? Also, just have to ask, the mic you're using, does it work with other cameras? Is it a TRS or TRRS (smartphone) plug?

[@ANDREW247]

Jordan Keyes you just shed some light on this for me! yes, the ones that didnt work are smartphone 3.5mm mics. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks so much!!! now i know.

[@JordanKeyes]

Not a problem! I've been in that exact situation before, that's why I asked. :)

[@ANDREW247]

Jordan Keyes since u seem like the man to ask about this, what type of connector does the mic adapter take? TRRS?

[@JordanKeyes]

I've only used TRS (non-smartphone) microphones, like the Rode Videomic, the Audio Technica AT8024, and a couple of lavalier mics

[@DonJoyce]

Good helpful review. Now to check out your drone videos!!

[@MrSeinfeldFan2]

Hello, a question please. I dabble with video recording a bit, but not an expert in any way. I never used my GoPro 5 hero black with a MIC, just camera's mikes; and whatever sound was recorded on the videos came out ok. Meaning I heard the sound on both ears using my headphones or earbuds (I use them a lot, mainly to avoid bothering other people). I never even questioned if the sound was stereo or mono because it was not important to me. What was important is that I heard the videos on BOTH channels. Yesterday for the FIRST time I used a little lapel mic with the $50 adapter that allows you to record using a mike. But the sound that came out only sounds on ONE channel / ear, and that really bothers me. Also when editing the clips using Vegas Pro 16, the same thing, I can only hear sound on one channel. You would think Vegas Pro should be able to split the "one channel sound" so that I could hear it on both channels, and it probably can! but I am just not familiar with this issue and how to fixit using VP16 if there is a way. Meanwhile, not the end of the world, but I was wondering if you have an idea of what I am talking about? and if so, how could I fix the problem? TIA E.M.

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

So, I know this is a weird question but you seem to know what your talking about 😎 If you plug the adapter in, and set the setting to line in. Then don't plug any mic in will it cut off the sound completely? I do some recording over an HDMI capture system and I provide my own mic audio into this capture system. My other cameras I can set the mic gain to manual and just turn the build in camera mics off. But the GoPro out the audio over the hdmi cable and I can't seem to turn if off. Would be a nice firmware add, turn mics off. But I can't seem to find a way to do this so I was thinking if I plugged this in, and didn't connect a mic up to the 1/8 jack but still provided power then maybe the video would transmit over hdmi using LIVE hdmi out and not have any audio with the hdmi signal and fix my issue. Currently since it give audio over hdmi and I have better mics into the mixer the. I end up with a double echo audio feed in the video that's impossible to edit out post processing since both are recorded in the hard with the same audio file. So cam you try this? It would be great to know, or I will have no choice but to return it.

[@JordanKeyes]

Done and done. Hero5 + USB-C audio adapter + "Line In" selected + no mic attached = in-camera audio Hero5 + USB-C audio adapter + "Line In" selected + powered mic connected, but powered off = NO audio So if you've got a mic that requires power that you could plug in, leave it turned off, you'd be good to go.

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

Jordan Keyes Thanks, that's awesome you checked with a phantom powered mic also. I appreciate the extra for a comment reply, most people don't even reply these days. I know I try to reply and help everyone with a question, but I'm not even close to your sub rate so I couldn't imagine the amount of comments you get. Well since I knew their are ways to hack a mini USB cable as the drones are doing for FPV flight on the Hero4 silver and 4 black I originally was looking for that one. Only because the viewing for linear is in the 5.0 firmware. 4K isn't on the radar and I dint see it being a need for a while. I could not find a silver for a justifiable price, I paid $359 for the 5, so 399 for a silver in a store didn't make sense. Used, possible option but these things get beat up so it's more of a risk and 299, same as on Amazon. I like buying local incase something is wrong. I didn't think Costco had any in stock but I called around today and found one, the last one in the area. I drove fast and scored it, even better I got the solver at 199 with external battery charger, two batteries, extra mounts, back plates, and a Sam disk 16GB MicroSD card. So I guess the 5 is going back and I'll figure out a cable hack to turn off the mic on the 4 silver or buy a cheaper external mic box even if it doesn't pass power since I have two batteries now anyway and hack that box to act like it has a phantom mic plugged in and switched off. But again, thanks for checking that, now I have an idea how I need to mod the mic accessory to make it work for me. Scott

[@JordanKeyes]

Not a problem, man! Happy to do what I can. Have a good one, and good luck with it!

[@carstairs242]

This is another example using the USB standard and making it proprietary to the manufacturer who made. This is just like the HTC Bolt that you can only use HTC branded ear buds only using the USB type C port.

[@antonioalvarez530]

With the fifty dollar USB attachment and an update you can change the setting on the GoPro 5 to a line in? Therefore allowing user to mix sound via a mixing board for live band recording?

[@Goosestep1]

love your review Jordan

[@marcusone1]

Thanks for the video. Can you link the two mics you used?

[@rubik224]

Plus option sounds a bit like it's clipping. Definitely record without the plus option and boost later if need be if there is no noticeable hiss with the normal mode.

[@RichardsWorld]

Hmm.. I wonder if this would work with the new Yi 4K+ camera.

[@ProjectResident]

what camera are you using indoor? I like the quality and a depth of field. thanks

[@bradleyabel1130]

I agree with the power plus with rode mic with deadbeat it sounds to loud and almost natural, the other setting for the rode much sound the best on my opinion.

[@roguemoto8262]

looking for a fix for GPH5 external mic brick getting major clipping and crackling. Your vid gave me some ideas before throwing in the towel. thanks

[@BikerNiladri]

what can be the price of mic adapter in hongkong

[@EdwardYourHondaManTomilloso]

can it charge the battery externally while the mic is running too? for example, if I was filming a fishing trip and have it running the whole time without swapping batteries while it's connected to a battery bank. Will it take the audio and charge at the same time?

[@JenniOrlopp]

Will this adapter work for any other model of gopro ??

[@JordanKeyes]

I believe it works with the Hero5 Session, but only those 2. It has a USB-C plug on the end, and only those 2 cameras use it.

[@ozcanturgut8730]

Hi Jordan, Quick question for you. In the beginning of the video, when you are inside, you are super clear and the sound is great as well. I am looking to get either a gopro 5 Hero or something else, but I kind of do not want to walk around with a dslr with a shotgun mic if I don’t have to, but the gopro sound is not great either. What camera and mic are you using at the beginning of the video? Ozcan

[@unomasenlaruta]

it is possible to connect the external mic adapter and a powerbank in the same time? the adapter plugged to the camera and the power bank plugged to the usb-c port included in the adapter? Because I have a wasabi handler + powebank and I want to connect de external mic and powerbank too.

[@dkmackie]

I'd love to know this as well, can you use external power AND external mic at the same time?

[@fishycomics]

Enjoyed the review. like the sound I see this as gopr had no room for the external mic hardware and here we got the oprional part via a type c port. Lol. again great job, got mine coming for a lot less money due to reward points. otherwise I deal with the lousy sound of t default that gopro knows about oil wells. we live and learn.

[@Nrijder]

I want to know if you can charge it while you are using an external mic. It definitly looks like it but that doesn't mean it does.

[@ANDREW247]

N-rijder yes u can

[@trunksGav]

Wait so that adapter doesnt have a mic on it I thought the l shap adapter you pluhhed in was the whole thing. Plug that in and its a mic

[@rockymountainroughridersofMT.]

Quick question, when using an external mic, does the wind only setting and the stereo setting change anything as far as the mic performance ?

[@FishHawk]

Does using a microphone impact the battery life of the GoPro?

[@davidwalsh49752]

Fish Hawk I'd like to no that too the battery life as is, is bad enough.

[@xxOzzie63xx]

Excellent review, thank you very much. I am very interested in the Rode PinMic, I use a Rode VideoMic Go on my Canon EOS 7D MK2 and am very pleased with that. I have a hero 5 Black and want to use an external mic, so will look at that Rode mic you used.

[@NARRASSAFilmes]

Can I use this adapter with the Gymbal, or it could disbalance the Gopro because the extra weight.

[@kevystead]

Seems like this adapter is necessary for capturing audio from a mixer for band and such.. Thoughts?

[@WisLockman]

I just traded my Hero 3+ Silver in for the Hero 5 Black. I want to try and hook up the Rode filmmakers wireless mic kit and see if this works. If no then I will do my audio with my Zoom H4n Pro Recorder and sync it together. I know I'll have great video.

[@TimRobson]

How did the Rode kit go, Kenneth?

[@icarlitoswayi]

Hey Jordan great video! Is there a gimbal that will support the Gopro 5 black with the external mic adapter? Thanks !

[@ProjectAnubisUSA]

Can I use a type c to aux adapter for a external mic? Or does it have to be gopro adapter because of software. ...

[@Subi_doo]

Last test is the best.

[@tropicshade]

Every variable you used sounds better than the autonomous camera mic!

[@sudhindrakamath]

is it possible to simultaneously charge the gopro and record audio with external mic.

[@SnakePliskinXX]

Thank you very much for testing

[@telmopelicano]

Can you use the adapter and an external microphone with hdmi out at the same time? I want connect my go pro to an external recorder

[@andreaturbolz3542]

Can GoPro be so stupid to make "impossibile" to have good audio with the Karma Grip? It seems....The genious who made this choice should be FIRED. How can I buy a Karma Grip with this limitation?

[@roadwornfrets8148]

Hi from Dublin. Great video, thank you. For recording bass guitar with a Go Pro 5 & the Go Pro adaptor and an External RODE Pro Mic, should I select powered or non powered or plus or standard?? Cheers. Niall

[@DillyVesper]

In gopro 6 you should have same options but only reads not available!

[@DamianDodd]

Great video, subbed. Once again, GoPro releases a camera with piss poor mics and charges us an arm and a leg to use a decent mic. I think this is my last camera with them. The only thing I'm happy about is that the cable appears WAY more flexible than the one on the Combo Cable I used for the Hero 4. That one barely bent and punt tons of stress on the micro USB.

[@allenr265]

Is there just simply a Bluetooth mic that exists that can pair with the hero 5? Thanks

[@neoestrin]

In standard mode (with the rode pin mic) have you kept the Audio in Auto or is the Manual mode on? (Wind/Stereo mode)

[@XplorerSteveDIY]

Can the mic work though the USB C on the Karma grip?

[@JordanKeyes]

Not the last time I tested it, and the firmware for both the camera and the Karma Grip haven't been updated since then.

[@GeekDetour]

Thank you guys - for asking and answering :) This is also a VERY important matter to me - I would totally use the Karma Grip with the External Microphone Adapter plugged at the bottom (even it being a huge ugly box)... I am truly hoping they fix/allow this feature!

[@WeekendWarriors87]

i know this is an old comment but this feature is still not supported, gopro said so in a recent online show

[@SteveOxley1]

same geek detour

[@jejoko]

Hello, Great video. Will this adapter work with the gopro 5 silver with a wireless mic? Thanks.

[@christian.derr_official]

One Question: You also can charge your battery with a Powerbank while use the Microphone Adapter?

[@heatherbashow1995]

Do you know if the adapter and GoPro can handle a mic and external power pack at the same time?

[@superZangetsu93]

just signed up for the 30 day free trial with gopro plus. if you do this you can get 50% off the adaptor through the gopro site. once i received the adaptor i just cancelled my membership. just suggestion for everyone to save some money. not sure how long the offer will last though

[@nemof]

powered plus had some clipping, it was just a bit too loud. perhaps mic placement

[@StrangeButTrue56]

what I am looking for is a microphone for GoPro hero 5 black and iPhone 7 plus that can record my voice clearly while standing 30 feet away from it. any idea, any recommendation? thanks

[@brainiac1234]

I’ve tried everything :/ my adapters are working I have a strong feeling and so are the mics I just bought but all I get is static sound, nothing overrides it. Idk what the problem is so it has to be the gopro. I even can charge the gopro with the cable but sound just doesn’t wanna work, I received 2 of those 50 dollar ones and I know they work cuz I get a charge from it too but iI am clueless on this. Can I still contact gopro about this problem and see if they can fix it?

[@TheAntibyte]

Would a USB-C extension cable with this still allow the go pro adapter to work? I'm thinking of making a custom handle and mounting the adapter inside the handle, at least that's the plan. Or ill just end up getting a zoom H1 and externally get my audio.

[@CafèZelberto]

The plus on the second mic 🎤 sounded a little to loud, other than that they were pretty good and a nice improvement, would be worth the upgrade for vloging for sure the sound without a mic wasn’t that good at all, I really wish I bought a GoPro 4 I saw one recently with so many extras for less than a 100 dollars or less than £90

[@MitchellMillennial]

can you plug this in the bottom of the karma grip?

[@wilsonlee63]

$50 BUCKS might be worth if it can also work with other non GoPro devices too, there's probably a built-in audio DAC chip only compatible with GoPro action cameras. I use a decent sounding external microphone for my smartphone & it's better than the built-in one, would like to know what audio format GoPro uses?

[@ScootersBasement]

I would like to run my guitar mixing board into the 3.5mm adapter for the hero 5 Black to obtain a cleaner sound than just using the camera by itself and recording the sound from my amp in an open room. Which mic setting would you recommend using on the hero 5 audio preferences for this situation ?

[@bbvlogs8253]

I want to know if this mic adapter can work with other cameras... I can't find normal USB-c to 3.5mm adapters ANYWHERE!

[@JordanKeyes]

What sort of camera are you trying to use it with? I've got these adapters: amzn.to/2pBzxdv and they didn't work with the GoPro, but I picked them up because they were super cheap

[@bbvlogs8253]

Jordan Keyes I have the new Yi 4k+, which now has usb-c for external mic.

[@JordanKeyes]

I saw that after looking at your channel. I wonder if it can use any old USB-c to 3.5mm adapter like the ones I linked to, or if it needs something special...

[@bbvlogs8253]

Well I purchased just some normal ones. But they didn't work when I tried it today. What I'm thinking is, it needs to be something like the go pro adapter. It must be something in the rectangular part of it that has a chip or something in there that allows it to recognize power.

[@ufcsportswear]

not only did they mess up with this 2 ton audio adapter but if you take pictures its only in 4:3 ratio not 16:9. Unless I'm blind as hell and there is a setting. Does anyone know if there is a setting to go from 4:3 to 16:9 size pics?

[@dropleckk4404]

Can you tell me if there is a way to disable the mic on the gopro hero 5? Thanks. I want video with no background noise for certain shots.

[@jusgoonin]

Tbh I really thought the lapel mic was best however the standard GoPro mic wasn't bad. Not for the 150$ you gotta spend to get into a stereo mic

[@nzbeeker1]

What would you recommend for in-helmet audio? I am using a Sony AS20 with lapel mic and when I get up to highway speeds, the audio is very bad. I have tried the standard foam mic cover and have tried a deadcat, but if you go over some of my videos, you will see what I mean by bad audio at highway speeds.

[@jay.0621]

i wanna know if this thing can withstand high speed runs if i mount my go pro outside my car.

[@krijac4513]

will the mic adapter work with a USB C extension cable? For my setup i need a longer cord...

[@RonnRider]

Great vid mate. Just purchased a Karma Grip and supposedly there's an update upcoming where you can use the USB-C port in the bottom of the gimbal for external use (mics etc). I also have a Hero 4 with a Removu R1 M1 which has a back pack and supplies great sound but again...can't use it! I was going to get Removu S1 Gimbal (which I could use with the mic backpack) and had paid for it but is taking way too long to ship (still hasn't) here in Australia so I got a refund and purchased the Karma Grip.

[@JordanKeyes]

Where did you hear about an update for the Karma Grip? I haven't been able to find anything yet.

[@RonnRider]

Hi Jordan, there isn't one yet but I watched a video on KZbin and it said one should be coming soon...fingers crossed!🙏🏾

[@kylephilops123]

hey this is some good info man. what is that mic that you have on your chest at the end there? how is it working? and where could i get that?

[@BluedemonZL1]

if I were to get it and use just a regular mic to help my voice sound better since mine is low and I make auto vlogs

[@tcrossau]

Any way to cut down on the size Jordan? Trying to put a mic onto my Feiyu Tech G5... Can't have that much weight

[@samskeeter1]

Thanks for doing this clip. Will any old mic with the right plug work with the adaptor? I found a list on google of the ones that would work and damned if I can find it again.

[@TheRavenK]

Hey, Is this the only one adapter that works with Hero5 Black.?

[@georgeaura]

why doesn't it works if the gimbal if the adapter has the ports on them, shouldn't the gimbal then plug in to the adapter as it would if it were connected to the camera?

[@JordanKeyes]

you'd think the gimbal would pass through the data from the USB-C port on the bottom of itself to the camera through its USB-C port, but for some reason it won't. I don't know anything about the internals of the Karma Grip, so I'm not sure if there's even any thing going between the two ports, but it would be silly if it didn't...

[@georgeaura]

Jordan Keyes man that's crazy what a disappointment that it can't be used together

[@reiztrigger]

i'm interested in the "line in" setting, using this with a very loud mono-synthesizer signal (eurorack-synthesizer). does anyone know, if the combo "GoPro5 with this adapter" would be substantially better than GoPro4 with the old/simple mic-adapter cable on such a hot line-in signal? thanks a lot.

[@syilim]

Hi. Thankyou for the review. Im new to Gopro, but have got myself a gopro hero 5 along with a Feiyu G5 gimbal. Unfortunately, theres audio issues with the build in mic when using with a gimbal. But since this gopro audio adapter is relatively big/heavy, it would definitely affect the gimbal's motors, so I was hoping to attach the audio adapter to the gimbal handle itself, but this would require the adapter to be connected to the gopro for an extension cable. Do you know if the adapter still works if it was connected via some sort of usb-c extension cable to the gopro? Many thanks

[@The.Incliner]

Do you think the adapter will work with a Sony wireless mic?

[@riverbenddrummer]

if i am coming out of an in ear monitor what setting should i put it on, the entire band mix will come through this unit, its called an Aviom personal in ear mixer, should i be on line in?

[@amedeosohomedia2243]

Hello Jordan, I just bought a GoPro Hero5 and I am totally confused here. I need an external mic that works with the gopro 5 adaptor you show in the video. I do content videos in KZbin and need something that will work well in my office mostly. What do you suggest? Have you ever tried the BOYA BY-LM20 Lapel Clip-On Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone with 2.5mm Mic Adapter they offer with this mic? (I read wonderful reviews about this external mic) 1) I don't know if this mic with Gopro original adapter works for the gopro5. 2) I don't know if this mic works with the adapter they sell together with the package at amazon (not sure they sell original adapter) 3) If not, what do you suggest? Thanks a lot

[@JordanKeyes]

Looking at the BOYA BY-LM20 on Amazon, I don't see any that come with a USB Type-C adapter, so I'm pretty sure it won't work with the Hero5 out of the box. I've tried a couple of generic 3.5mm to USB Type-C adapters with the Hero5, and none of them have worked either, only the official one from GoPro that I showed in this video.

[@amedeosohomedia2243]

thanks. If I buy the Boya and use the official adaptor from gopro, would it work you think? Thanks a lot

[@NomadByFate]

hello Jordan , do you know if this adapter works also on dslr or sony like a7r etc... ? thanks

[@janardhand6200]

Is this port useful for charging in parallel when we use go pro during shoot with vlog and charging?

[@VictorYurkin]

Hi! Would you be so kind as to help me with the question: in case we plug GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter directly into Karma Grip will it work that way?

[@JordanKeyes]

It didn't work the last time I tried. I keep hoping they'll put out a firmware update to make it work, but I don't think they have yet

[@amitaiefrati4111]

Can you recommend on a mic(not a rode) that is not so big so i can put it in my helmet?Something like Sony ECMCS3(but not this one). And that will work with this adapter. thanks

[@LegalizeOneDee]

Hi, i'm using the Rode Video Mic Go. Which audio setting should i use? After the gopro update, the standard mode is with the non powered mic

[@BehzadBhandari85]

Hi. Plz help. Me.. I wanna record my keyboard /synth playing with this adapter. With go. Pro video.. Will this work? Line in? Or only mic?

[@NoahThomas29]

Does anybody know of any alternative adapter that would work on the hero 6? Cause the gopro adapter is way to bulky and expensive.

[@Dt3kno]

Is it worth it if I connect my mixer do it so I can record my jams?

[@WRiderr]

So you mean i just ordered those ebay adapters for nothing? what the actual fuck is gopro thinking?

[@FFG7x]

GoPro is thinking about $$ and is making you purchase their adapters just like most apple products. Sucks

[@Meekerextreme]

Just like Apple does, smart business but it does piss off consumers to. Be nice if they integrated bluetooth connectivity like my SENA Prism does. Sadly SENA is not updating their cameras so optics are way behind now. But they at least did show you could have bluetooth audio built in *sigh* GoPro just doesn't understand how many bloggers are out there that don't want to deal with cables.

[@KruisinKevin]

I have a gopro hero 4 with the Saramonic G microphone with usb male on the mic. Im looking to upgrade to gopro 5 or6. So I'm thinking the my saramonic mic would fit? any feedback appreciated.. Thanks

[@JordanKeyes]

Unfortunately, no. The newer GoPro cameras all use USB-C, and the only luck I've had with connecting a mic to them is using the external adapter shown in this video with a mic attached over 3.5mm cable.

[@KruisinKevin]

Jordan Keyes Ok. Go figure. More profit for Gopro. Thanks for sharing your video and feedback

[@barbatrukko]

Hi, can I use this adapter for connect a LineOut from a Mixer? Or i can have problem with Impedance? I know that impedance is different from mic and line

[@JordanKeyes]

I haven't tried it, but on the Hero5 I know there was an option for Line In, so it might work.

[@barbatrukko]

@@JordanKeyes Thanks

[@YoyoFidozz]

Sir, i'm using Red Buffalo action cam for now. The problem is, i never found Mic adapter for my action. I've tried looking at any store, like always never fpund it. How can i solve it? What type of mic adapter which is suitable for my cam. Tq sir

[@Kindertoysindo]

This external mic work it to dji action or no?

[@SilverfoxJB]

I absolutely will never buy another GoPro - I am glad they are failing as a company. This is such a bullshit thing to do. They know what their customers use the cameras for. The price is already over the top and then this surprise. For a motorcycle vlogger, you have to find room to fit this dam thing. Also to use the waterproof case with a microphone you have to drill holes in it and there for it's no longer waterproof, surely given what people use these for a little bit of design thought ...... The guy that started the company was just interested in taking massive amounts of money out of the company to buy his Jet and Boat he was not in it for the long term judging by how badly the company took it's eye off the ball. They missed the drone market completely. Also the obvious lack of design thought in the GoPro, it's just awful - For example, My SJCam, I can take the SD Card out or charge the battery when in it's cradle (non waterproof case for mounting on a helmet) - To charge the GoPro or take the SD card out I have take it out of the very snug case everytime. As I said I'm glad they are failing, the competition are already over taking them.

[@HalfdeadRider]

I feel the pain bud :)

[@olanmccarthy109]

is it a 5 pin adapter and will it work with other action cams

[@MondoDelleIdee]

sorry if I disturb you again, I have the mic adapter but I still have to buy microphone. I want to spend maximum around 30 euros and at the same time have a good quality audio... I'm very confused... What is the microphone you used on the video... because you sent me two links and the socond one (Lavalier) I can't afford!

[@alissaniel7293]

Hi I was just wondering if I have a cheep mic adapter for the hero 5 will it work if I put those special settings on for the mic adapter? Thanks

I've tried 3rd party cheaper mic adapters for the Hero5, and they did not work for me. The "Audio Input" section always showed N/A, meaning it didn't see the microphone.
