You will need the adapter. There is no 3.5 mm audio jack on the Hero 5. You will need to plug the adapter into the usb-c port to create a line in for your mic to get better sound for your videos. You could also just use your phone as an external audio source to use the mic you have and edit the sound together in post production. The adapter is a ridiculous and bulky piece of tech that negates the small and highly portable features of the gopro camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you need to use this adapter to connect an external mic to the GP5. This camera has HDMI out, and USB-C in. The adapter lets you go from the 3.55mm jack from any mic to USB-C. It also has another USB-C port so you can charge the camera while it's in use. I tried other adapters that looked like they'd do the same thing (cheap chinese knock-offs), but they don't work with the camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to use the adapter to get any external audio devices to work with it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sadly you will have to get this adapter do use a external microphone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you have to have the adapter in order to run a standard mic. I use a Rode mic with mine.
