If you expect 100% audio for your video, look elsewhere.

Well, this is sounds fantastic when it works but when recording it will randomly drop the audio. Also, if you use the charging port sometimes you will have electrical noise in your audio. Since I'm using it to record live sermons there is no going back and doing a retake. So it's a complete loss for that video. Tried getting support, been in queue on phone and online chat for over 55 minutes. If you want to have audio you are better off getting a Zoom and recording the audio separately b/c this will only frustrate and disappoint you. Either that or just buy a different camera (non-GoPro) that actually can record audio consistently (wish I had).

Not for go pro 3

Wasted my money on this because I can't use it with my go pro. You changed the adapter and made the old one unavailable so people have to buy your new model. Not cool. Switching to another company's product.

Barely works?

I use this mic when I'm flying so you can hear the radios on the gopro footage. My old setup with the Hero4 Black and 3.5 adapter worked great. This one has terrible quality, and goes in and out all the time. Not sure if I just got a defective unit or what...

Too dang large

It's very frustrating that you are forced to use this massive hunk of cabling to try to get decent audio out of your tiny sports cam. The cable is so thick that bending it is also a pain when I am trying to strap it to the camera. This whole setup is turning out to be a massive pain. I think I am going back to my Hero4 set up.

Gets the job done....

Does what it's designed to do but way too bulky. Seriously an adapter shouldn't be as big as the GoPro itself. And way too expensive for what it is. I can do without the USB C port. I just want better audio.

Extremely disappointed

I bought a Hero5 with the intention of using whilst motorcycling and I want to capture audio through a better mic than the inbuilt one. I wish I had learned about the need for this specific adapter before purchasing the Hero5 as if I had known it was necessary, I would have chosen another camera.
The adapter is ridiculously large and defeats the purpose of using a GoPro as now I have to have two mounts on my helmet and the whole set up is quite bulky.
At the very least, I hope that GoPro releases a smaller version of this adapter compatible with the Hero5 before abandoning the model and moving onto the Hero6. For the amount this company charges for their products, I feel that they at least owe their customers that much.
A big let down to find that such a well respected and recommended company has released a product which is not really fit for purpose.

Loose connection

The mic adapter is loose and sometimes causes the connection to be lost entirely. Tried multiple mics and adapters. Same result.

3.5mm Mic Adapter—Really?
on May 5, 2017
Posted by: David
For a company famous for scaling things down, this mic adapter is a disaster. It's like a giant elephant trunk hanging off the camera, making it much more difficult to use the camera in action shots. I mean: COME ON !!
GoPro needs to fix this and fix this fast.
