Another bad product
on August 14, 2022
Posted by: Thomas S.
Half my videos didn't have audio, because the adapter had such poor connections. I have hours of lost footage because the external mic adapter was not functioning despite being plugged in and checked (REPEATEDLY). It might work and it might not, which is unacceptable for any camera and equipment. It's also very large and cumbersome which defeats the whole purpose of a small action cam. Ignore this warning at your own peril-You WILL be disappointed. Find a better option, they are certainly out there.

Didn't last even a year, stopped working after a few months of usage. It's was hard to find and get at the time.

Hooked up my dji mic onto my gopro hero9 with this adapter and it works and sounds great. I think it is expensive for what it is but not alot of options

Works great but.....

I use in aviation and needs the dongle cord to be about 3ft longer to avoid having it dangle in front of passengers. The USB standard allows proprietary direct connect devices so a standard USB extension cable won't work. I had to build one after buying a second device and reverse engineering the USB pinout. GoPro support understood but had no interest in helping.

Mic Adapter
on June 28, 2022
Posted by: Chris W.
Works well but with no instructions I had to reply on You Tube. Seems large considering Go Pro is a small camera. Disappointed I had to purchase this adapter to make the external mic work. And is a high cost.

Will not charge HERO 10
on June 25, 2022
Posted by: RANDALL H.
The whole point of this adapter is to supply an external audio mic input along with power to a Gopro camera. The USB -C plug next to the 3.5mm audio plug seems a dead give away that this is the intended purpose. This mic adapter will not charge a HERO 10. I was told this by Gopro support after my purchase. It would save everyone some time and trouble if they would spell this out in sales and information on this product.
Response from GoProBy Mary Rose Machajewski, June 27, 2022
Randall,
Thanks for reaching out. Note we we say on the product page:
Enables high-quality audio capture when using a pro-level external mic
USB-C power and data extension with 90° connector
Connects a wide range of external 3.5mm mics
Enables stereo mic and line input for external audio sources like an audio recorder or mixer
106dB stereo analog-to-digital converter
There is no reference about the Mic Adapter being used as a power source.

Works great for aviation!

Very crisp audio, works very well. No issues so far. I fly a Cessna 152 and use the Bose A20 + Bluetooth headset and mount it on the "Spider Swivel GoPro Mount."
