Pro mic adapter
on December 29, 2017
Posted by: Tobin T.
Solidly built product and works exactly as expected. However I have 2 main complaints. The form factor is a little large for me personally and the price is also high in my opinion for what it is. I knew this going into the purchase but there are no alternatives if you want more premium audio quality out of your gopro. So all in all, a little frustrated with the size/price, but if you want killer audio, this is the way to go.

Great product! Well made.... I only wish it wasn’t almost as large as the camera itself!

Why so big??!! Really GoPro??!!!

I can't understand why this adapter is so large? Its larger than the camera which is mind-boggling considering that the adapter provides only a handful of small purposes. I am a motorcyclist, so having this extra "Thing" attached to my helmet, that I constantly have to plug in and unplug, is kind of a pain.
This reason is why I gave this item a 3 star. It does its job well but it could be better. I expected better from GoPro.
While you are at it, create an adapter that allows Sena Bluetooth users to record audio from other users. Similar to what the GoPro 4's had with the Sena audio pack. I have a 6 and the content I capture would be so much better if the camera could hear the other people involved.

No problem at all, just find the right port to put it into and it worked great with my wireless sennheiser mic.

Improperly fitting USB-C and 3.5mm ports
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: Anonymous
Perhaps my unit is defective, but what are the odds that *both* the USB-C and 3.5mm ports are out of spec?
USB-C cables do not fully seat on the adapter, leaving about 2 to 3mm of the connector exposed and therefor prone to walking out. It seats sufficiently to charge the camera via an external battery, but isn't suitable for field use.
The 3.5mm port also has a loose fit, even worse than the USB-C port. The slightest bump will dislodge the 3.5mm connector. It is wholly unusable in a real world setting.

Disappointed that they came out with a new version of the Hero before providing an in line adapter solution. People have been complaining about the giant box since the Her 5 came out, and over a year later Gopro still isn't listening. There's a reason their stock is in the tank.

Wish the jack was on the actual camera as opposed to a seperate part.
