Thanks! Fair warning though - You'll be a little disappointed if you're looking for a review, since I really only talk about how excited I am to use it. I'm more than happy to do a practical review after using it for a while, if that's something you'd be interested in.
I know! I have to say that this is probably the biggest downfall that I've seen in the way of the new design. Having said that, I think I understand the compromises that they're making and their reasoning. I see it as focusing more on video quality and migration to modern technology such as USB-C, which might restrict them from keeping useful features from the old design. I was going to buy the mic adapter for hooking up to my in-helmet microphone, but decided to buy the Zoom H2n instead since the GoPro 8 mic adapter doesn't appear to be waterproof, either.
