Has the extension and "bung" set-up worked for you? I'm almost about to give up with the gopro all because of this damn mic adaptor!I have been having some real annoying issues with the GoPro Hero 5 mic adaptor, it is garbage but with no other options available (without using a separate audio recorder) I have been trying to sort them out.
Basically the adaptor does not work in the rain, audio cuts out and clicks and clips. I also fear regular removal of the USB-C to remove the camera from it's case will cause the connector to fail.
So what have I done?
I have purchased a USB-C cable extension and mounted the mic adaptor on the back of my lid and put a bung around the connector on the camera to hold out the water hopefully and hold it steadier so it won't wobble about so much. This I'm hoping will fix all the issues.
I no longer use a bung, got a rubber case for the camera which keeps out the water from the connectors (I cut a slit in it to insert the mic adaptor)
How do you ride like this with such a setup.. How do you ride fast without any worry about something coming off? I could never ride with such a setup.. I would be so distracted that my stuff will just fly off when I'm speeding.
Soz, they were posted before Photobucket held us to ransom with all our pics demanding money to continue hosting them, I'll find a decent pic of the 3D printed GoPro mount and bung it below...
It is all pretty secure. TBH I'd not run with the peak if I was going to be riding fast as it generates a bit of wind noise, but if touring it is plenty secure and nothing moves around.
