Works great if you set it up properly. The adapter is bulky - no doubt about that! It fits well and it works well. No sound issues and the mic I use (Rode) sounds amazing with my Hero 6. There are a LOT of other reviews on here that say you can use some cheap headphone adapter that works with Moto z or other devices - WRONG! DO NOT listen to those reviews, I made that mistake and just got my refund after wasting my time ordering all kinds of products that do NOT work. It sucks, because this is way over priced and it's bulky, but it works and there are no sound or connection issues. Sometimes the seller changes the product without updating the listing so they can keep the reviews, but if that was the case, I think this seller would have been better off listing this as a new product. A lot of people mentioned using this with their session or hero 4... I don't even think that's possible because this adapter is USB C. While I hate the size and price, I had to write a review that clearly explains who this is for and what to expect. That is the reason I gave it 5 stars - because no one else did. Ignore the other reviews because they are very misleading.

A necessary evil.

Bought this to use with my hero 5 black and a lav mic on my motorcycle helmet. Camera is mounted centered and low just in front of my helmets chin used industrial strength Velcro to attach the adapter just to the side of the camera on the jaw of helmet. Small size very light weight works like a charm and using good Velcro allows me to easily swap it over to my Tripod when I have the camera set up for non helmet uses. Idk why go pro would need to make us all buy this $50 brick on their newer models but they do and the onboard mic is junk. Do not buy off brand usb c - 3.5mm stereo adapters as a go around it’s a waste of time just suck it up and buy this

Works like it's supposed to

It works exactly like it's supposed to. I've had mine for going on 2 years now, zero issues. I find it pretty greedy that GoPro makes you buy it to use a mic, though, as if you didn't just spend hundreds of dollars to buy the camera to video your activities (I mostly motovlog while riding my motorcycle), that's pretty dirty imo.

Great Durability but...

I'm thankful i got this mic adapter for my hero 7. I was super tired of carrying around a big DSLR camera for short and quick vlogs, but also worrying about if my DSLR would be safe from any water or even worse drops... I highly dislike the internal mic of the go pro's so improvised and bought a cold shoe for my go pro also with a mic. It works super great and its quick to just throw in my bag and not carry to much things on my travels. The only thing i'm kinda worried about for not myself but for others is the sound quality and durability of the cord. In one of my videos i recorded i long video which was my first time using the go pro mic adapter. The sound was kinda making a high pitch static noise which was odd to me but i'm not sure if it was the adapter or the cord was to stiff to bend to connect it into the go pro which made it not connect all the way in. The price of this adapter also seemed a little bit more pricey than i expected for a small mic adapter box plus i had to improvise to find a way to keep it secured from hitting my go pro while i'm vlogging. The new Go pro hero 8 also came out and i'm worried when i get it I won't be able to use it. But other than that i still have this product and it works well, with no issues at all! Highly Recommend!!!

An Adventure

Good tidings person reading this, Let me tell you the story of my purchasing experience. So nowhere does it say this thing can't work with a Hero 7 White right? At least nowhere I was looking at least, anyways. I get this big ol bad $50 hunk of plastic and plug that bad boy into my 7 White right? Doesn't work. Well shucks, what am I to do now? I didn't want to return in, I bought a purple panda mic, and a case to hold the adapter and the camera all in one, so I couldn't do that. Did I wait until 7 Blacks dropped in price? Nope I had to go bargin hunting for a GoPro. Well I found one. It was a Hero 5 Black and it did everything I wanted it to. I drove 2 hours to a sketchy neighborhood, bought it off a guy who spoke not a lick of english, had to figure out how to understand Dutch real quick and switch the settings back, drove another 2 hours home just to find out that this adapter did EXACTLY what was promised, and allowed me to use an external mic. TL;DR it works yo

Easy upgrade for a GoPro 7 black

Unit is easy to use and install but only works with certain models so check and check again. Works with Most Black models : such as GoPro 7 black / GoPro 6 black and so on. Also purchase a case to put the camera and the unit together or the unit will just be hanging around. I believe the unit should come with a case and be a little cheaper but it is worth it to use a external microphone Of your choice with GoPro camera. Thanks

Neccesary evil

Albeit a bit cumbersome and clunky it is a must have for any decent audio out of the gopro line. why they cant add a proper mic in on the side of the camera in the first place I simply will never understand but this little device is prob another way to make a buck since they have to sell it separately. But alas, it is the only option for us that need real audio.

Does it's job, with there were more reliable options

I've read multiple reviews on how GoPro's adapter is the best without sacrificing quality. I could buy something for half the price but if it makes the sound quality worse, I can just use the stock mic on the GoPro. I can tell the difference and it's great for vlogging and video recording. I just with there was a way to make the GoPro slightly more water resistant. I don't like how the contacts are exposed like that.

Loved It!

You have to know how to hook it up, very easy and works great. I read other reviews saying it wouldn't work but mine works like a charm right out of the box. 5 Stars all the way. -Art, VIP Entertainment.

Expensive little guy, but it works well.

WHY go pro, WHY must you put absolute garbage mic's into your products. This adapter does very well, has a charge pass through so you don't need to disconnect it. I use it with a Rode mic and it seems to perform very well. Don't expect any sort of water protection when using this being you need to keep the door cover open or off to use it.
