GoProPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter for (All HERO Cameras) - Official GoPro Accessory

This product works great to improve the audio on my Go Pro Hero 8 Black. It allows you to plug in a microphone and charge via USB C at the same time - critical for my YouTube videos. I can now connect my Rode wireless lapel mic for much improved audio. One thing to know: Powering up the GoPro by voice does not seem to work with any external mic, but once powered up, all voice commands work fine.

These work great but so expensive. Simple add on to get audio footage from GoPro cameras

Alright so it sucks that you actually HAVE to get this becuase it is a little pricey for an adapter but you literally have to get this or your GoPro with an extended mic or whatever you use. Or nothing will work trust me. But I guess all I can say is it works I mean I’m not sure if the quality’s from the mic or this thing so lol I’m not sure anyways if your wanting a mic with your GoPro then either get a wireless mic via Bluetooth or get this adapter and a mic of your choice CYA!

I was about ready to absolutely trash this device in a review, and then return it. After spending forty bucks, I was really disappointed. It didn't work at all. But then I thought I'd be fair, and try a different approach.If you plug this GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter into the camera along with, say, a lapel mic, and then turn on the camera to start recording, it won't work. Not at all. It's not that it will record poppy, scratchy, bad, or poor quality sound. It won't record sound at ALL.However, if you power up the camera, then plug the adapter and mic in, it WILL record high-quality sound (assuming that you've got, say, a high-quality lapel mic). Garbage in = garbage out (so invest in a good mic). But don't blame the adapter. I tested this device not only with the new GoPro HERO (2018) but also the GoPro HERO5 Session. It worked with both cameras. However, it would appear that the cameras need to recognize the adapter and then the insertion of a 3.5mm mic or other input before it will allow recording with an external device.I do have one complaint though, and that's the reason for the 4/5 star rating. This thing is overpriced. You know it, I know it, and GoPro knows it. They could have built a mic jack into the camera, or sell this adapter for five bucks. They are gouging us, but they know they can because no one else makes a reliable and working GoPro mic adapter.Still, I'm keeping mine. The internal GoPro mics are horrible, and this gives me crystal-clear audio using a lapel mic.Cheers.

No complaints other than how big it is. Works as advertised

Generic ones did not work only the GoPro brand worked so I could add on the external mics.

Like many other GoPro Hero 6 users I wasn't too happy about the price and size of this dongle just to add external audio to the camera, but bought it to make use of my Rode Video Micro for a vlogging rig. I was able to secure it to my camera by zip tying it to a cheese plate with a threaded grip mounted to an aluminum housing, a complicated but effective and solid solution.Pros:-Huge improvement in audio quality - (Be sure to enable Standard Mic + for best results with the Rode)Cons:-USB C on dongle does not pass charging to the GoPro, can't charge while in use, and the male USB-C on the dongle is quickly becoming loose from constantly unplugging it to charge the camera-Cost, $50 is a lot for a dongle-Size, You have to be creative to add this to your rig-Short cable, limits mounting options, and puts strain on the USB-C connection on the camera-Camera is not waterproof with the dongle connectedUpdate: Just came home from a vacation to find a 1-hour video totally silent, it seems the USB-C connector is now working intermittently. Check your audio, can't re-shoot a vaction, pretty bummed.
