i will just repeat what someone wrote here and nobody care (as i have exact same case): bought it in order to record myself while riding my motorbike,, also bought a cheap mic to be able to give the sound to the gopro and thanks to the comment also had to buy the passdoor. i was very exited like, recording without the mic is a bit boring. got the mic with a standard 3.5mm jack and got some adapRead more about review stating why so useless?ter with it, even a usb C to jack then i was like oh yeah let's try them, first the ultra cheap adapter since it came for free with the mic and it work great, no noise or anything else than my voice, second test, using this adapter and guess what: not a single sound, the best way to loose time and money. Had to test the usb C adapter too and yes it work but again, spending that much just to have the Type C cable connected to an extender throught a door and every part was paid, really useless
I use the drift mic alongside with this adapter and my gopro hero 6 black. So far so good BUT... each time you turn your gopro off, you MUST disconnect and reconnect the battery and the microphone (a soft reset) otherwise you will completely use audio.
péssimo muito grande uma boa compressa a outra fora pô valor.

GoPro have done a software update on the Hero 9, which renders this item useless, the software now cancels out external mic connections on ANR Headsets for pilots. GoPro solution spend more money on a Media Mod, this revamp of software happened in 2020and a revised update solving came a couple of months later. Come on GoPro support your customers
I use the Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter to connect the RODE GO II to the GoPro 7 Black. It is difficult to use without a means of attaching it either to the GoPro or another piece of equipment, such as, motorcycle, bicycle or helmet. I purchased a third party case that holds the Mic Adapter and enables connection to the GoPro. The RODE GO II wireless receiver clips into the cold shoe of the case with the RODE short 3.5mm cable connecting the receiver with the adapter. The set up is reasonably compact and importantly one unit that can be mounted on a selfie pole or helmet mount. The case is NOT waterproof but then neither is the GoPro as the connector door has to be removed to attach the adaptor cable. The adaptor and RODE GO II wireless mics work well. Only downside is that the adaptor is rather large and awkward to mount.
Purchased this for a hero 10 to use with the purple panda mic. Tested every possible solution that I could find online with no luck and it did not work. I only get white noise with this plugged in.
Ordered for gopro hero 5 session does not have correct connector and does not work

Mr. N, Thanks for the insight. The Mic Adapter is to be connected through the Media Mod, and the Media Mod is not compatible with HERO5. It's compatible with HERO10 and HERO9 cameras. -Team GoPro
I agree with the comments about the block connector, the cable needs to be longer so it’s not in the way. Or an adapter that holds the block next t or attached to the camera. Sadly my experience is not good, using the Hero 9 and connecting it up I get a horrendous high pitched squealing feedback tone. No has come up with why or how to cancel or neutralise the noise

Kevin, Thanks for the feedback. When you connect the Mic Adapter, is it to your in-plane intercom system? _Team GoPro
