I was always under the impression that the Session did not support external mics. But you clearly show it working. Awesome!

Great, simple, straight to the point video. Thanks for sharing!

I agree on the Rode recommendation. I use the Rode VideoMic and the Rode SmartLav+ and rate both very highly in their respective price range.

Can I just use the adapter with no mic to mute all sound from the hero 5 ? Thanks.

I cant remember the video that we were talking on nor was I able to find it. But at your behest, I got the GoPro mic adapter for my hero 6 and the Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera Microphone with Rycote Lyre Shock Mount, and there is absolutely a very good improvement in audio quality. I have not yet tested it in the shop with the fans running, but I aim to do that tomorrow. I will let you know how it turns out. Thank you.

Useful video, thanks. Do you know if third party adaptors work with these cameras?

OMGosh! This is very helpful indeed! I've been despairing with the audio on my Hereo 5 inbuilt mic. Just bought a Fimi palm and am experiencing the same horror.

wow, they're smart enough to make the door removable, not smart enough to put a headphone monitor jack on the adapter

Great video, I liked it because it wasn't confusing at all😊

Do you film with GoPro flat color mode?

Hi. Great video. Simple clear instructions. Even when I connect my mic, I still get a static sound. Set up is all the same. Any ideas?

Very informative for a newbie! Have you updated for 2019?

great video as always! cheers mate

great review

@AirPhotography I have the Hero Session 4 now too and can't find the external mic hookup after I got the rode video micro I also use the hero6 black and microphone I love it

I'm amazed at the number of decent cameras there are out there with no audio input jacks. That said- thanks for a fine review

Hello, I started watching you video and have enjoyed your presentation very much. I'm getting a Hero 5 black and would like to know, if you happen to have tested; can we charge hero 5 through the mic adapter: 3.5m is for mic and C is for charging the camera? I called GoPro and they said not possible. Thanks

Great video! Is this mic waterproof? I want to start filming my SUP Adventures and I want good audio.

Hey man, wonder if you have any suggestions for me. I do a lot of outdoor adventure videos with my GoPro and a lot of it involves water activities. Any way I can cut out wind noise and improve my audio quality whilst keeping my camera safe if it does end up in the water? Thanks in advance

superb video! thanks for sharing :-)

Do you recommend this Mic for record the exhaust sound for a Car track video?

Really sucks that the mic can't be used when the GoPro is mounted in the Karma Grip. Their engineering department is pretty lame.

So if you could adapt that 3.5mm jack to a lightning dongle on the opposite end of the proprietary go pro bs, and then hook a wireless transmitter to that lightning end that you adapted, do you think it would work with a wireless lapel mic?

HuskyKMA to my knowledge there isn’t yet but my brother just bought a cheap audio recorder that works pretty well. I think it was around $20 so no big deal if it gets destroyed. Then you just line the audio up with the video.

Will this work with gopro session 5 with 2.0 software update?

I would like to know does this GoPro adapter for external microphone works on other devices like other brand of action cams or even smartphones? I assume it has a built -in audio DAC chip of some sort, as you mentioned only this GoPRO accessory for audio input will work & no third party alternatives. As to the external microphones RODE meets the specifications, I also noticed another port besides 3.5mm jack is present, is it also a USB Type C port for possibly a microphone with USB Type C connector?

Awesome video!! But I need some help. I have a hero5 black. Gopro microphone adapter (2 of them now) and the same rode microphone in your video. The microphone working is hit or miss. I plug it all in, then turn on camera from the side. Then record. It worked at first. Then it didn’t no matter what. So I bought a new microphone adapter. Then it worked for a little. Now I just did some recording and it has NO sound. I started going into the preferences EVERY time I turned the camera on to make sure it said “standard mic”. It did. Then to be safe, I recorded what I wanted AGAIN with standard mic plus. That way I had 2 chances if it didn’t work. WELL I HAVE NO AUDIO. Any help is appreciated! Thanks for the awesome recommendations I love the case too!!

Hi! Would you be so kind as to help me with the question: in case we plug GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter directly into Karma Grip will it work that way?

I've had my Hero 5 and Rode micro since 2017. This week the audio is horrible, scratchy and fuzzy. Looking under the audio input tab. Mine says N/A and the text is grey. I assume that means my mine isn't working. I shoot video and car shows with loud exhaust. Do you think I blew the mic out? Cars were 3 ft from camera.

Have you ever mount a Parrot Teleprompter in the GoPro?

I purchased these exact products, GoPro Hero 5 Black, Mic adapter, Rode Video Micro, plugged them in just like you stated and all i get is a buzzing noise in my videos, no audio. When i plug in the same mic to another device the mic works just fine.

You need to select the powered mic setting, the video micro is a powered condenser mic

That adapter is awful and unfortunate and discouraging. My GoPro 3 Jack straight in. I was excited about the GoPro 5 but now it looks like I have to add a big adapter and I'm not sure how to do that with my rig. Thanks for the video!

Does your camera register the adapter is plugged in without the mic and give you audio settings? I just spent like a hundred dollars through Amazon and it worked for a day. Now it's not recognizing it at all. No audio settings. I'm trying to figure out if the adapter stopped working or if it's the mic or both. Or even the USBC port. Any help is much appreciated. Really upset over this.

QuikCapture and Promic non-powered mics will not allow your Microphones to work, keep that in mind? The work around is to use the On * Off mode, or use a Powered mic and quikCapture .

Can I use that mic on my GoPro+?

Hello and thank you for your video I really did appreciate it. I have a question that I am hoping you can help answer for me. I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to have a external mic and a battery pack or a extended battery connected to the GoPro microphone adapter for the GoPro Hero 5 all at once. I have included a link and if you can do me a big favor and click on that link and check out the product that I am talking about, it is a battery pack or extended battery for the GoPro Hero 5. So if you can please click on the link and let me know if it is possible to attach this battery pack to the GoPro Hero 5 using the external microphone adapter that you mentioned in this video, because if I am correct it looks like it is possible. I saw on your video on the adapter there is the round slot that you thick the microphone into and next to that is another slot that I think you can use to attached a battery pack or extended battery. I hope I am correct so as I said please click on the link and let me know if this is possible, and thank you so much I appreciate your help and I definitely appreciate your time... sincerely, Blair!* Suptig Waterproof Light High Power Dimmable 5200mAh Battery Waterproof LED Video Light Fill Night Light Diving Underwater Light for Gopro Hero 6 Hero 5 Hero 4 Hero 3+ Hero 3 and SJCAM or Yi action www.amazon.com/dp/B071JHY3ZJ/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_sFMdBb6H11RPZ

Don't know, but if you go searching for one, they are called lavalier microphone, or just LAV-mics. The best reasonably priced LAV-mic (according to other people's opinions, I DON'T OWN ONE) is the Rode SmartLav+. It's wired, but that's the only one I know about.

Just bought an adapter so that I can use an external mic while vlogging on my motorcycle. Wish that I hadn't bothered. I got home and downloaded all of my footage to find that only the first video had audio. Turns out that if you use 'one touch record' with an external mic this is what happens and GoPro have never addressed it with a firmware update! There is a workaround where you can power up first and then press to record, but it's just a out impossible to do with a chin mounted Session 5 and motorcycle gloves. Not good enough or practical enough in what is supposed to be an 'action cam'

I have the Hero 5 black. Just watched my vacation videos. The picture is great, the waterproofing is great, but the sound... OMG! The microphones pick up every sound from the handling. If I touch the case, the microphones pick it, and it's not a quiet sound. I had the GoPro on a floating grip, and every smallest of sound when I grip the handle is transmitted via the frame on to the microphones. So all I can hear is a terrible racket. I wish there was someway to fix this without an external mic, which would make the camera not waterproof. I've searched dozens of videos and blogs, but no-one seems to have come up with any good solution. They have drilled holes in the frame, put hairs on the mics, but ended up making it sound much worse. Some suggested to insulating the grip with thick foam, which might be the only solution. Not very good one, because judging from the video, they still had some handling sounds.

my session 5 says mic okay but i get no audio. 2.51 is the firmware version I have and i can unplug and get internal sound but not external. I'm using a TRS as well. what gives?

can that be used with the hero 4

I wish this Rode Video Micro had a foam sleeve instead of the dead cat. I sometimes get the dead cat hairs in my videos.
