I fully agree, pro tune and adjusting it from Auto to stereo sounds way more crisp, and buy one of them wind Slayer foam sock things when it's wind and slip over it to refuse wind noise big time
PS - to be crystal clear, are there both TRRS (female) to TRS, AS WELL AS, TRS (female) to TRRS ? I am paying close attention and there seems to indeed be both and there also seems to be confounding information as to which one to use. Thanks for clarification.
I'm not super savvy on what your asking but if you see the description for the list of parts needed - I think you'll get the information you seek! Hope that helps!
Ok so.... I really didn't hear much of a difference inside a little bit better outside less Echo but a wired lavalier microphone is really useless you need to get a wireless microphone so you could station the camera in one spot and record your audio from a long distance away which is the most impressive way to do it!
I have these exact same components and it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to think my adapter is faulty. My rode mic works on my other equipment but I get no sound when plugged into go pro 7. Did you run into any issues like this or did it just work?
I haven't run in to any issues like that. If the components are hooked up exactly as I have them and its still not working then i would assume you have a faulty cable or faulty port on your go pro. Triple check everything is plugged in correctly and your using the correct cables.
Hi Alex. I have the exact same setup as you show and I can't get any sound. Is there some trick about how or when you plug things in? I think I noticed you didn't plug the mic all the way into the adapter but that didn't work either. And yes, I tested the mic on my phone and it works.
I could have been with these other comments 11 montths ago, but noooo, I'm Mr. Procrastinator. Thanks for a moment of your time, and I appreciate your thoughts. I have the GoPro Pro 3.5 mm mic adapter and was wondering if not having the TRR to TR adapter was the cause of my not having much volume/power from my inexpensive lavalier mic? Thanks in advance.
They made these to specifically only work with GoPro brand and makes it really hard to choose a cheaper alternative. I'm not sure if they have made another by now but last I checked it was only good to use the GoPro brand.
I was actually thinking of getting a hero 7 until I saw what you have to do to use an external mic. They should have just put a mic input on the camera
Angling With Alex hey thanks for the reply. Have you ever tried plugging in a usb mic? Just wondered if that worked without the $50 adapter. It’s not just the money for the adapter that bothers me it’s having to use an adapter.
@@davva360 I haven't but for the purposes of my fishing videos - i'm trying to reduce bulk as much as possible. Sorry I can't be of more help on this question!
hey man so i recently just got this setup as well but whenever i start recording it seems like sometimes it just stops working and goes to the default microphone for some reason and i have the cables rubberbanded to hold them in so they dont come unplugged. Do you have any idea what it could be? Also i see that you're a fishing channel, i am too man haha
YOu need to look at the lens and not the screen. It's apparent in the video. It's a hard habit to break I know but if you're sat at a desk you can put the screen down and force yourself to do it.
Yes I know... This is a bad habit of mine and in some of my videos you'll notice I do better but looking at the screen is so enticing! Thanks for this! Always good to get good feedback.
I have a Gopro 4 is the adapter for the hero 7 different from the 4. I feel like it is it looks like usb-c 1......2. Do you really need two adapters for this to work? The mic really wont just plug into the bigger adapter with plugging into the smaller adapter 1st smh
Thanks for this. I just got an external mic for my Hero 7 black. Is the TRRS->TRS adapter necessary? I don't have one of those. Also, does the camera automatically know/switch to the external mic when it's plugged in, or do you have to do something in the settings? I have a Rode "VideoMicro" mic.
Man, turns out, it is better to buy an external recorder and sync the audio. I don't know, just finding it too way expensive (adapter+dicent quality mic) Thx for the video.
Great video as always, the external mic always makes a difference and sounds more professional. I'm a big fan of the fir wind filters too. They have a pretty significant impact.
Yeah if I can't make a reasonable one for cheap myself - I'll be buying one. We shall see. Definitely need a wind filter on the water though. Thanks Inspector!
Truthfully seeing this mess of wires gets me straight to looking for alternatives to go pro. What the hell is this mess just for decent audio? Reminds of the the new MacBooks with only usb-c.
Great video! Thank you for sharing… Question: Can an “IK Multimedia iRig2” be connected to the GoPro adapter? I currently plug my condenser mics into a mixer board and then pass the audio signal (via the “aux send” on the mixer) to my iPhone. I’m considering using a GoPro7 instead of my iPhone for video capture of my drums. Thank you. 🥁
Gursi Singh there are cheaper adapters that have the correct sockets but I’m not sure they will work. Wish I knew they would because $50 is a lot for a little adapter.
I have a gopro 7. I do not like the camera and is a pos. I will just stick with my Panasonic G85 since better on all fronts from quality,design versatility.
Nice video... GoPro is simply apalling... Just when I think about buying one I hear the horror stories about a stupid adapter at an outrageous price. Like so many companies, they screw their customers with prices for accessories.
Thanks man this video was amazing thanks for helping me out hope you have a great rest of your day or night take care stay save during these times and may god bless you guys and you and guru family and your surroundings amen take care man stay safe bro this video helped me a lot thanks g means a lot I really appreciate thanks g if you need anything or need anyone to talk to lmk my insta is @hp_dripsyy thanks for helping me out a lot so if you need someone to talk to I’ll return the help back as much as possible I can amen ❤️🙏💪🏼🤟🏼
Cool video but GoPro sucks for this, another way to squeeze more money out of customers. This unfortunately won’t work for my GoPro cage and holder . Might have to sell and get a newer GoPro
Stop staring at the view finder and look into the actual camera. If you're going to give tips on cameras, it's best if you know how to use them properly.
Good god you’re talking too much. Just show the settings in the GoPro and how to connect the mic and that’s it leave all the other garbage out who cares about being out of stock stick to the task at
Go into protune on your go pro and switch the audio from "auto" or "wind mic" to "stereo" to get the best quality inbuilt audio quality from you gopro
I fully agree, pro tune and adjusting it from Auto to stereo sounds way more crisp, and buy one of them wind Slayer foam sock things when it's wind and slip over it to refuse wind noise big time
Great tip thanks 👍👍
At last. Exactly what I have been searching for. Thanks so much. 😊
PERFECT!
I'm confused, I thought up to Hero 7 didn't need adaptor, only 8 or later?

Was thinking of getting an external mic for my 7 but after seeing this, will give it a miss! What a load of faff for hardly any gain. Cheers
can you just use a normal usb c adapter to 3.5mm jack? to avoid that big ol block adapter?
Are there any settings needed done on the GoPro or is it simply plug and play?
Can you use on gopro 7 silver since your putting it in the side port anyway

Will the microphone with a usb-c work? I've heard the go pro won't recognize it.
If you buy a cheaper mic that isn’t the rode, do you still need that adapter?
Gah, spent ages trying to get my external mic working, and realised I had the ttrs-trs cable in the box the mic came in too.
good video, thanks dude
Does this adapter only work on the black editions?

Wish I could answer this - dont have the knowledge to say if that's the cause or not. Sorry!
Can you use any usb-c to 3.5 mm adapter or does it have to be this GoPro one?
I tried to do it with a non-GoPro mic adapter and it didn't work.

Does this one work on the gopro 7 white?
But if you need the USB C for it to be plugged into the power source, is there a chance to use the micro hdmi gopro port for an external mic?
you'll notice the gopro USB adapter actually has its own USB C port for external power.

I think the older GoPro didn't have the issue this one has and I think a lot of people use it because of this.
great video. Have you ever tried the wind foam covers for gopros?
I haven't tried them I don't think. Have you?
Kool, very informative brother man! thanks for the great vid!
Thanks Samuel! Glad you enjoyed!
cant u just get a usb c to 3.5mm for like 10 bucks?
Without adopter, We can't use external mic??????
That's correct :(

I wouls need to connect an XLR mic not a lav mic. A lav mic sounds terrible and its very limited.
The lav mic I use around water for fishing so I do have the luxury of an XLR mic - but I'm sure it sounds better from what I've heard!
Man, turns out, it is better to buy an external recorder and sync the audio. I don't know, just finding it too way expensive (adapter+dicent quality mic)
Thx for the video.
What adapter would I need to connect my hero 7 to my blue yeti microphone??
Research the connecting type of plug in on your Yeti and then see if there is an "adapter" that will work for you. Not sure myself.
Hmm so many connector to use the external mic.. :(
It stinks to have to do it this way!
@@AnglingWithAlex But the audio result is good i think,, because my friends offer me this stuff and i still have hero 4..

I'm not familiar with that one unfortunately. I'm sorry.
What gopro port plugs to the adapter? The usb or the hdmi?
the USB-C im pretty sure
yo thanks man
looks like gopro is leaning towards microsof.. need an adapter to attach an adapter..
Thank you. Very useful.
can i input a regular audio signal, for live streaming with my video
I don't know too much about live streaming with a gopro but I don't see why that shouldn't work?
bro you cam get one of those adapter things or eBay for 5 bucks(;
great video anyway.
That may be. At the time of the video they were VERY expensive.
@@AnglingWithAlex yea I saw the one off the Gopro app tho...it was VERRY expensive.
@@holeshothicksy3681 I can't find a cheaper one than on go pro site anywhere, let alone for 5 bucks...

@@davva360 I ve heard adaptors don't work because gopro uses so sort of encryption that only their adaptors can pass through
Great video. But the amount of adapters and wires is ridicilous.
So I bought a $4 USB C to 3.5mm adapter at Walmart and it worked beautifully without the $50 adapter
