Review on 🎀 Onvian 3.5mm Female to 5 Pin Mini USB Male Microphone Adapter Cable: Superior Sound Connectivity for Your Devices by Chris Bhatia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will NOT turn off GoPro's internal mic

Fits and works but will NOT turn off GoPro's internal mic. Instead, it adds sounds from additional microphones. Frustrated that the GoPro's internal mic is still active, I did a little research and found that the only way to ONLY use an external mic on a GoPro was to buy YOUR $20 adapter. This has to do with the number of wires in the cable. GoPro (from what I could find up to this date) doesn't have an option to disable the internal mic without using the dedicated adapter. This makes a world of difference when trying to eliminate wind noise with an external microphone. . I used an Onvian cable when I was at the track with my car. I have a dedicated mic that worked great with another camera, but with this cable and a GoPro, the GoPro's internal mic is still pretty loud. After writing this review I was contacted by Onvian representatives. They offered to refund the money for the purchase as it didn't suit me. I agree with my review because of their attentive customer service. Hopefully there is some indication that the GoPro's internal mic isn't disabled so others don't have the same issue.

Pros
  • Wide Range
Cons
  • Weak Adjusted
