Terrible for helmet use

Comon GoPro sort it out - do you really expect helmet wearers to have this just dangling around or taped to the side of a helmet? - nothing says "ruin the look of your Shoei helmet" like this ugly ass thing stuck to it.. When you get it right i will buy one..
GOPRO what are you thinking? Why on earth has this thing to be so BIG? I need an external microphone because the sound is like crap when the hero 5 black is in the frame or in a gimbal (you can hear motor noise or me holding a tripod when i move my hand). I am a first time gopro user with the hero 5 black and love it for the most part (when I don't need the audio) but seriously disappointed by this.
GoPro seems to be following Apple's new mantra of "If it's not broken, lets change it to a new port". No idea why you'd go ahead and change the new GoPro Hero 5 so it doesn't work with old adapters. Sure, this adapter works, but so does using a chainsaw to cut bread. Practicality, people.
How hard can it be to make a simple usb-c to 3.5mm mic ??? Seems like that's what everybody want! And we can't find the explanation, why you didn't do it in the first place????
