Effective but Not Loved

To use the adapter you must pull off the side door making it vulnerable to moisture and dust. It is very large and seems like the charging port is unnecessary unless it was designed to be plugging into a wall. It nonetheless works yet to mount a mic with the GoPro is very difficult. Most mic's are hot shoe and there are not many adapters that allow for a GoPro mount and hotshoe. Overall it works but I don't love it.

It's connected to the headphones output and I can hear the conversation loud and clear. Also the engine noise is now only 2% of what it was. It's a must have!
The mic. adapter for the GoPro hero 5 is over priced, bulky and completely in the way when using the GoPro. Why on earth would you bill yourself as the best compact action cam and then come up with a brick of an adapter to connect an external mic.
Not sure what the issue is, but gopro seems to have made it difficult or impossible for anyone else to make a sound plug adaptor. That wouldn't be so terrible if they have made one themselves that is reasonably priced and small in size.
Instead, they made a unit that is way, way oversized and which is very difficult to work with on the camera.
Yeah, it has a pass-thru, which will no doubt be super handy in some instances, but if you don't need it, it is a waste of space. GoPro needs to have two models and let you choose what suits your situation.
It's heavier, bulkier and more expensive than the adapters for the older GoPros. Also it won't work with some of the mic adapters I use with my other GoPros and cameras. I've been very disappointed with my GoPro experiences recently.
This is my second attempt at posting a review. If your filtering team don't allow this post, AGAIN, not to worry there are many more avenues I can take to get my opinion known. This product is WAY over priced. Wake up gopro and listen you your customers!
