Junk
on April 9, 2022
Posted by: Nicholas
I bought one for my Hero 5 Black. Who would have thought you need a GIANT adapter to run a small microphone to motovlog? The adapter they sent was garbage and finally GoPro covered it under warranty. Even with the new adapter, the audio was hit or miss. If you plugged this in after turning on the camera, issues such as static/low volume or no audio would occur. Just to record audio you need a lengthy ritual of ensuring everything is in place (USB-C doesn't click into place), so you never know if you're capturing audio until AFTER you review your footage. It's a pain that you can't simply plug in an external microphone. Because of this, I don't motovlog. Who knows if what I'm saying is going to be recorded or not.

Nicholas,
Thanks for reaching out. The HERO5 is an early model, and audio capabilities on the new HERO9 and HERO10 are much improved. Hope this helps.

Doesn't work
on March 18, 2022

I was excited to finally get something that would allow me to connect my rode wireless mic and get decent audio. But it doesn't work. Tried everything, it's complete garbage. I should have taken note of some of the other reviews that said the same thing.

why so useless?
on March 1, 2022
Posted by: Ygrek
bought it in order to record myself while riding my motorbike,, also bought a cheap mic to be able to give the sound to the gopro and thanks to the comment also had to buy the passdoor.
i was very exited like, recording without the mic is a bit boring. got the mic with a standard 3.5mm jack and got some adapter with it, even a usb C to jack then i was like oh yeah let's try them, first the ultra cheap adapter since it came for free with the mic and it work great, no noise or anything else than my voice, second test, using this adapter and guess what: not a single sound, the best way to loose time and money. Had to test the usb C adapter too and yes it work but again, spending that much just to have the Type C cable connected to an extender throught a door and every part was paid, really useless

What a con
on December 21, 2021
Posted by: Lee
GoPro have made a decision to lock down the USB port so you can only use their over-priced accessories. This puts them in the same bracket as Apple! I'm temped to send my GoPro back!

Out of sync (here’s the only solution)
on December 7, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
If you record with external audio input, it will drift out of sync.
The only way to ensure sync if you begin recording with this 3.5mm adapter UNPLUGGED then plug it in after recording started.
GoOro have fixed the sync issue with the media mod, but that contraption requires you to completely remove the camera from its mount to change cards or batteries, so kinda the same pains, transferred.

another thing unusefull !!
on November 24, 2021
Posted by: Vitor C.
again, i invest so much money on gopro things to record my cockpit image and audio and its simply unusefull... i dont understand how this is possible... first of all, gopro got complicates what was simple and as if that wasn't enough someone invented something that looks like a weird appendix that swings from side to side (I can see those cables won't last long). To make it minimally useful we have to buy this and that to suport that... thats the business. secondly, the box doesn't have enought instructions (thanks youtubers for helping me on manage and set up this "fantastic" adapter) i'm still trying to unveil how set this up for gopro 10 and finally record the comunications between pilot and air traffic controler.
