How to use the GoPro Microphone Adapter for HERO 5/6/7 Black

In this episode I'll explain how to use the GoPro 3.5mm Microphone to USB-C adapter with your GoPro HERO 5, 6 and 7 (Black versions).
It's a rugged piece of technology I find incredibly helpful when I make videos on my bike. This little gadget has been getting terrible reviews - probably because there's little to no documentation available on how to use it, or what settings it unlocks. In this video I'll show you all.
A German version of this video is available here:
• Der GoPro Audio Adapte...
I've explained how this works on the HERO 8 here:
• Using the GoPro Audio ...
Sadly it is not possible to use a regular (cheap) 3.5mm to USB-C adapter instead. I've explained the reasons for this here: wpguru.co.uk/2...
UPDATE January 2019:
I've reached out to GoPro in regards to audio not being recorded when using Quick Capture: ve... (thanks to Biker Bytes for bringing this to my attention).
UPDATE March 2019:
I've reached out to GoPro and asked why the adapter might be out of stock. Turns out they're just waiting for a new batch to be delivered from their factory:
/ 1110164772937453569
UPDATE December 2019:
Thanks to a comment on my German video, it appears that the Quick Capture problem has been solved in the latest firmware update for the HERO 5 Black (v2.7). His was the HERO 7, mine is the HERO 5 - if anyone with a HERO 6 can test this feature again, please leave a comment.

You saved my life! Your video is 5 years old and I just found it and with your help I could now solve my problem. I suddenly had no audio anymore (Hero 7) and even the GoPro support couldn´t help me. I was asking them about the settings and they had no idea! Before, my audio worked just fine without having Protune turned on but now, after watching your video, I turned it on and my audio works again! I don´t know why that is, but I´m happy to have audio back. I came to your channel, because I was going to buy a new (used) GoPro (Hero 8) out of desperation, but now I don´t have to anymore! So grateful! Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!! Yes, I know I used caps, but when a person spends their hard earned money to get their GoPro to work correctly, it's frustrating with zero instructions. Now for a test run snowmobiling and talking.

@WPguru 4 жыл бұрын

Aww, what a shame! Let’s go through this again, maybe we can make it work: make sure you don’t use Quick Capture. Switch on the camera first, then plug in the adapter. See if the menu under I/O appears and choose Standard Mic. Plug in your Mic and see if it works. If it doesn’t, change the 3.5mm connector (like if you had TRS, try TRRS or vice versa - some adapters seem to accept TRS like mine, others seem to accept TRRS). If that doesn’t work, try the whole sequence again, but use Powered Mic in the GoPro menu. Maybe your Polodou is an active mic and it needs phantom power. Before you go ahead, try your mic with a different device (like your phone) and make sure it works. That’s how I would proceed. Hope you get it to work!

Thank you! I'm new at all this and just bought this for 7 Black and am clueless. Although this video is over a year old they still do not provide any instructions. This whole GoPro world is hard to learn from scratch. Went out testing all the Protune settings on my motorcycle bar and helmet-mounted and nothing. You couldn't hear me say a thing over the wind noise over 20mph. Hours of poking around the internet found out I needed to spend more money that I don't have to buy a mic for inside the helmet and this Adapter. I was like you, opened the box with a blank stare thinking, OK, so now what do I do? I only knew about the Protune settings. Thank you for telling me about the Input/Output settings. Much appreciated.

You are so amazing for making this! I’ve had my GoPro Hero 7 for a while now and never understood why I couldn’t get the audio to work with my microphone. I have the GoPro adapter that you have but I bought it a while back when I had my hero five session. I’m not sure if it’s outdated or if it’s that I don’t have the correct microphone but I’ve already ordered the same microphone as you to see if that’ll remedy my issue if not I’ll just re-order the microphone adapter and hopefully my problem will be solved! I’ll try my best to keep everyone updated thanks

Good information on the TRRS and TRS adapter. Good information on the RAW audio track. I am stacking a Hero 7 Black with the new case, mic adapter and external microphone on top of a GoPro 9 Black in a protective case with cold shoe mounts. I can add the RAW audio track from the Hero 7 to the Hero 9 video in post. Two birds with one stone…so to speak. Each camera will shoot with different settings…resolution and frame rates. Thank you for taking time to explain the adapter. Fred in Texas

I was planning on buying the GoPro Hero Black 5 for a motorcycle trip but after reviewing this, I might as well not get it. With an adapter the size of a second helmet, the trip is going to be highly uncomfortable. It's not really a ''compact'' solution anymore as I can't put a GoPro on the helmet and a sturdy adaptor inside my helmet while also having an intercom on it. I'll have no place to fit my head! This review was quite helpful to make sure that I don't spend money where it's not needed. Thanks for that!

@WPguru 5 жыл бұрын

You're very welcome, I'm glad it was helpful. I still like the GoPro 5, and before I bought this adapter, I used my iPhone to record a separate audio track with an external mic. This was inconvenient in post production, but a slightly handier solution than using the adapter. Right now, a cable is connecting me and the camera - which means if I have to disembark the bike, I'll have to watch for that cable. With those two not connected, I felt as if the whole camera setup wasn't even there: I could get on and off the bike, walk around it, move it, without having to care about being connected to the camera. Just thought I'd share this experience, because it feels related to your motorbike trip. Aside from GoPro (who I believe do charge a bit too much for their cameras), look into the Yi series. From what I've seen, they're on par with the GoPro at almost half the price. I don't know about their audio connectivity though. Let me know which solution you're getting, I'd be interested.

Good Job. I figured it out myself after much testing using my Saramonic Blink 500 microphone receiver. Wish I saw your video before. Would of saved a lot of time. Thankfully Ulanzi has some good cheap cases that will hold the adaptor. Line In is usually from a soundboard, or other device such as other sound equipment. It usually means a 1v Peak to Peak signal. No amplification provided to the signal as compared to any of the microphone settings.

I just bought the GoPro Audio Adapter for my GoPro Hero 7 Black, and my experience is different from yours. In the video, you said that yours won't work with a TRRS connector. However, mine works just fine with TRRS. I used a Boya BY-M1 lavalier microphone with a TRRS connector, and it works perfectly. I don't know if the difference lies with the different microphones or with the Hero 7 Black and your older GoPro. But, as I said, mine works just fine with the TRRS connector on the Boya BY-M1 microphone. Interestingly, I also tested my audio adapter with the Boya BY-MM1 microphone. That microphone comes with two cables - a TRS and a TRRS. And with that microphone, the results mirror yours. It will work with the TRS cable, but it won't work with the TRRS cable.

I've just checked again to make sure, mine definitely needs the TRRS to TRS thingy. You're saying yours works straight with a TRRS connector? That's confusing! Perhaps GoPro made a change?

SUBBED! This was very helpful and informative for me. I appreciate all the time and research you put into this and then presenting that information clearly. Please keep these videos coming.

This video has saved me hours, thank you. I just couldn't get the sound to work, after 20 mins of fannying about I watched this & problem solved. Ordered a trrs to trs converter plug & jobsagoodun. I'm annoyed that it's cost £8 on top of the £50 already spent to get sound directly into my gopro.
