I bought this to use with my GoPro Hero3 camera and have had trouble with it (no audio is produced) - has anyone used it successfully w/ a GoPro?

Does a GoPro use a cell-phone style headset jack? This is a Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve, it's only useful in mobile phones and certain computers that expect there to be a headphone with a mic attached. I don't own a GoPro, but I doubt it would work unless they designed it to use (for example) iPhone headphones.

Yes, I have used this microphone for mobile recording for my radio broadcast. I used with recording via my iPhone.

I've not tried it, but since the Hero3 is a smaller size GoPro, I would think that it would not fit properly in this kit. Call GoPro support to be sure.

I have a GoPro Hero 3+ and it works fine. Dove 16 times, replaced the inserts only after each two dives and had zero troubles.

Yes, I use this with my GoPro. You just need to have the tri-pod mount for the go-pro.

Haven't tried that camera but have tried very light point-n-shoot cameras and they worked also. It's all in the setup of the weights. The GoPro has a very wide angle lens which should reduce movement somewhat also.

I bot this because gopro makes customers buy gopro items or else if you buy a 3rd party adapter it wouldn't work. I'm not sure, I don't want to say yes that it will work but you can always order it and return it if it dosent work.

As long as it has a microphone input that accepts either a 3.5mm or an XLR cable, I couldn't see why not. It may be in your best interest to ask the question "Does this camera have a microphone input and if so, what size?" on the gopro hero 4 page.

to me it is a hit and miss on the olympus ME-51S stereo Mic. I used it on my Gopro hero 2 and had problems with it recording. I might have gotten a bad unit. I have not tried the ME51S on any other devices/recorders that I have but I will try it some time in the future.

I sent it back because neither mic worked. I sent the replacement back, because one of the mics didn't work. I don't know what a GoPro Hero is. I did buy a AKG WMS40 Wireless Mini Single Vocal Microphone Set, Band 45a. That has worked out pretty well so far.

It will work with anything that has a 3.5 mm input jack. I did not have good audio with my gopro hero 3 though.

I purchased a GoPro for videos. I've only used this camera with the underwater housing & it has taken some amazing photos during my night dives. I have tried to take pictures of some moon rises and they have not come out well since I do not know how to set up the camera for those types of shots. Overall I love the camera but still learning how to use the settings to maximize my shots.

Yes it does. It actually IMPROVES the sound quality. The internal microphone will do a much better job of picking up external sound. Instead of mostly picking up the famous popping that is a defining quality of the GoPro while in its waterproof housing. Though I bought my frame to have the ability to attach an external microphone via Micro USB.

I used this float with my gopro as well and it works great. This is a great "fire and forget" type of float as well. I connected the float to the gopro and would dive down to get very specific video and once done, would simply let go of the camera and let it rise to the surface while I stayed below for a little while longer... having then two hands free. Once at the surface it is right there waiting for me.

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

Works fine if you use the GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter which connect any 3.5mm microphone to your GoPro.Compatibility: HERO3+, HERO3 You can see the adapter on the GoPro site.

As long as your Gopro has 1/4 or 3.5mm connection for external speaker it would be OK
