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:

I've explained how this works on the HERO 8 here:

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/2020/07/gopro/

UPDATE January 2019:
I've reached out to GoPro in regards to audio not being recorded when using Quick Capture: twitter.com/versluis/status/1089522137709318148… (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:

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.
