The adapter works well, and it is nice to have the option of charging while using a mic. It would be awesome if there was a smaller mic only adapter without the USB port available too.
You guys really need to provide at least a 3.3 foot extension cord for this that's compatible. Most of the USB-C extension cords don't work with this microphone adapter. Not everybody wants to mount their microphone adapter right at the camera. It'd be nice to be able to mount it in a different location.
I have made attempts to record video and audio with my new Rode Videomic Go using my new GoPro5 and the adapter. I keep getting clicking noises repeated through my audio. I have tried the suggested troubleshoots and have asked others in GoPro & blogging/vlogging chat groups. Suggestions were to update the software for camera and turn off wifi/Bluetooth connections with phone & camera. Haven't used new equipment since my purchase in December. Super frustrated!
It's an overprice, bulky, inconvenient afterthought that is impossible to rig in most positions. A terrible piece of design. I wonder how they intend for it to be secured/rigged? Is it just supposed to dangle there from the USB-C socket... on an action cam? Ridiculous.
I love the karma grip. I'm always using the GoPro with the karma grip. Unfortunately the sound is garbage. Beside the wind noise the gimbal is also making disturbing sounds. Solution: NONE! This adapter can not be used when the camera is in the gimbal. So beside the fact that the adaptor is horrifying huge, is unusable. GoPro, please release a bluetooth microphone.
