Camera And Mic Issues.

[Marcus]

on my gopro i bought a 3rd party adapter so i could use my microphone.
when i use the camera it still uses the go pros audio for some reason and not the microphone?
does anyone know why?

I am pretty sure it's because of adapter. Do you have someone with a GoPro and mic? Just to check another adapter without buying a new one?

sadly not but you aren't the first to say its the adapter, maybe ill just buy a go pro one because everything else is go pro

The adaptors that get sold as gopro compatable are not. They need to have the correct internal connections to enable input into the gopro mini usb port. These ones being sold are output only and therefore the go pro does not disable its internal mic as it has not detected the presence of an external mic.

You can solder them yourself (plenty of guides on web) but to be honest I would just get the gopro adapter...

Or sell your go pro and get a drift, no need for any adaptor. ;x
