I ordered an adapter too. Perhaps with it it will be possible to record and listen without removing the microphone from the socket Its pros: With this adapter, a microphone with a minijack 3.5, a lavalier, of one popular, budget brand, works both in a standard camera application and in third-party ones, without additional adapters. The sound quality is good. Got cons: It does not crumble in the air, but is very flimsy in appearance.
