Abomination

Discovering this is required for external audio such as a lapel mic in motorbike helmet means I won't be buying Hero5 or Hero6.
Competitor Yi include an adapter with the camera. If this were included free it's still a ridiculous bulky thing with no obvious way to hold it in place without stressing the connection.
It doesn't even deserve one star, it should be minus 5 stars as I won't buy the camera let alone this garbage to weigh down one side of it.
The solution is probably bluetooth based but gopro will no doubt have their own weird system which costs half as much as the camera.

3.5 mic adapter

Works great, but size and design could be worked on. It's akward and clunky. Makes my videos sound 100x better though.

Who decided to make this!??!

I understand you want to control the market so only your overpriced proprietary accessories work but at least concentrate on the last part THAT THEY WORK!!
This thing works 20% of the time since and not to mention that the USB-C connector has to be aligned with the stars for it to work and for you not to come home and only to realize there is no audio!!!

Very bad design
on September 8, 2017

- Expensive
- Nearly as big as the camera itself! -> buy so duck tape to attach it and end-up with a bulky and clumsy set-up.
- Must be connected directly to the camera. YOU WON'T GET AUDIO IF YOU USE AN USB-C EXTENDER CORD!
The only good feature that it allows you to have audio input AND power it at the same time. I was hoping to put it away from the camera, using a single USB extender cord to feed both power and audio in my plane cockpit. No chance for this elegant solution. I have to attach the adapter to the camera and run TWO cables through the cockpit.
Conclusion: a bad and expensive design. Very disappointed.

Product does as promised although it's kind of bulky for such a small camera. Also a bit expensive. Hope them come up with something different for the next GoPro model.
