Smashed my damn camera! DO NOT BUY!

The metal around the adapter has deformed and when removed it DESTROYED my $600 DSLR! There is some semblance of FFS quality control. I recently buy ALL Revain electronics. Now everything is cheap Chinese junk.

Pros
  • FOR TRS AUDIO - The microphone adapter cable has a microphone jack that will work with a standard TRS 3-pin stereo audio jack.
Cons
  • Compatibility

Don't be fooled by the picture

Availability So the main picture of this article is a USB direct connection, but that's not what you get. The USB plug side is at a 90 degree angle. Not worth the hassle of sending it back. The buyer pays attention and looks at all the photos. On the rest of the photos they show a 90 degree connection.

Pros
  • FOR GOPRO AND ACTION CAMERAS - Compatible with HERO4 Black, HERO4 Silver, HERO3+, HERO3, HERO+ LCD, HERO+, HERO (2014), HD HERO2, HD HERO Original, Drift Ghost X and Drift Ghost XL . **Note. Not compatible with HERO9 Black, HERO8 Black, MAX, HERO7 Black, HERO7 Silver, HERO7 White, Fusion, HERO (2018), HERO6 Black, HERO5 Black, HERO5 Session, HERO Session, HERO4 Session and DSLR cameras.
Cons
  • Update

WORKS WITH A DRIFT GHOST X

I don't know about the quality or finish right now, I haven't tested it on the road yet. BUT I connected it to DRIFT Ghost X and it worked, which means it should work with Ghost 4K too. EDIT: It works fine and the audio quality for Drift Ghost X is exactly what we wanted.

Pros
  • PLUG AND PLAY - Our action camera mic adapter offers a simple and hassle-free connection with no software to download. Use immediately at will!
Cons
  • -

Total Waste of Money / Hero4 Video / Static and Pop-up Only

The thing doesn't work at all. I had to throw away 2 hours of video from my Hero4 because I figured a new mic dongle should work right away. The only noise it caught was a heavy static noise with occasional clicks and pops. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • 5-PIN COMPATIBILITY - Specially designed for action cameras equipped with a 5-pin mini USB connector. Be sure to check the specifications of the camera before purchasing. Not compatible with camera models with 10-pin USB or HDMI connectors.
Cons
  • No

No, buy the official cable

UPDATE: I was out of town to interview elderly family members with my GoPro and lo and behold, this cable broke while I was filming. It resonated in the GoPro and squeaked. Went and bought the official cable and no problem. DO NOT BUY. ------------- This cable does exactly what it takes without paying for an official GoPro product. Works great on my Hero4 setup and am very happy with it. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • CLEAR AND LISTENING SOUND instead. It provides secure audio recording by connecting an external microphone to a 3-pin 3.5mm jack on a compatible camera model. Get more compressed sounds with focused audio.
Cons
  • I'll add later

Absolute waste of money / Hero4 video / static and pop music only

This thing doesn't work at all. I had to throw away 2 hours of video from my Hero4 imagining that a brand new mic dongle should work right away. The only noise recorded was heavy static with occasional clicks and pops. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • CLEAR AND LISTENING SOUND. Allows secure audio recording by connecting an external microphone to the 3-pin 3.5mm jack of a compatible camera model. Get more compressed sounds with focused audio.
Cons
  • Out of fashion
