Didn't work in no time

Worked for about 6 months of weekly use then will charge but not connect to pc or microphone. Not buying another because of price and have moved on to better other brand camera anyway.
bought this for recording my voice during rides but the jack/socket doesn't state it's specific meaning every commonly used mic will not work with this so you have to buy a seperate adapter. other than that it works as expected. great product just needs information updated to avoid frustration.
Correct function of the adapter only in power on mode of the camera

The adapter allows me to record better sound through an external microphone. When using the adapter with the GoPro 5 Hero black camera, it is necessary to start recording in power on mode. If I use the shutter button to quickly start recording, the camera only records sound on the first shot. The following shots are without sound. The user needs to be alerted to this programming error.
It's your only option. It works but is bulky and expensive.

If you want an external mic on your GoPro (in my case the Hero 5 Session, this is your only option. It seems expensive for what it is and it's quite bulky to work into a helmet cam setup. How we, all that being said, it does work well and will hopefully last a good long time. Definite downside that you have to remove the door for the SD card and USB-C port. You loose the weather protection. I've had some sound quality issues but hopefully a better mic will solve this.
I use a helmet top camera so was very disappointed with the unflexible nature of the mike. I am now trying to source a C2-C2 extension in the hope I can get the mike to work. If this fails will probably send it back.
I actually got the media mod first, and had instant buyer remorse once I realised I couldn't get access to the battery and memory card easily. Once I switched to this mic adapter.. it just worked. One thing that GoPro could improve on this adapter is the support for displaying mic levels on the screen!
