3.5 Mm Jack To Micro Usb For Charging

So yes. First off this thing cleans up your audio from external mics very well. I've tried this on my motorcycle with the gain set to -10db and it turned out very clear (I am still editing that video). It fits nice and tight onto the side of your Action 3/4. Something to note....you WILL need to remove your usb-c access door to use this. Lucky for you, it removes easily by design and yessss it fits Into your camera while your camera is still in a cage. Another thing is you CAN use the usb-c port to charge your camera while still using the 3.5mm jack to plug a mic into while recording. - The 3.5mm jack is a TRS port so your mic has to have 2 lines on the 3.5mm end (not 3) in order to work with this adapter. - You cannot use the usb-c port of this mic adapter with a usb-c microphone as that mic will not work. If you have a usb-c microphone, plug it directly into the camera to use it. - the usb-c port of this adapter can be used to transfer files from the camera to your phone/laptop/tablet or PC or charge the camera ONLY.

This mic having both a 3.5mm jack and USB C jack is Key! I use the 3.5 when mounted on my camera cold shoe, with very short patch cord. But I use a long (33 foot) USB C cable when I put this mic on a boom and connect it to my computer. The USB C jack is a digital signal so immune to RF interference--dead quiet. A 33 foot analog 3.5mm cable would be way too noisy with RF hum. Running USB C right into computer is much easier to work with (and cheaper) than a full XLR setup (the usual way to keep the signal quiet).

I started with the Micro, but soon desired some of the features found in this shotgun mic. I felt this version was a good balance between the micro and the more expensive NTG/Pro versions. I love the improved shockmount, a single mount is annoying since the mic bounces a lot with one mount. I also dig how versatile this mic is. I can use it on my cams or plug it into my computer for voiceovers. The pickup is much improved over the Micro, sound is more full, and overall I wish I had just started with this mic instead. It handles close and somewhat far audio pickup well, fulfilling pretty much all of my nearfield audio needs. I mostly use the 3.5mm input, but the USB output offers more granular control via RodeCentral. I like that's powered by USB/3.5mm, battery based mic's run the risk of running out at inopportune times. The only con is that I wish they'd provided the nicer coiled 3.5mm cable found in the Micro, but the supplied cable is fine.

Bought 2 of these cables with the intent to chop in half and solder the DIN connector of an Ultrasync One stock cable to make a direct timecode cable for Sony FX-3/30 cameras. With a little continuity test, solder, and heat shrink it works perfectly. These micro USB Multi connectors are longer with more pins than regular micro USB. Internal wires: Red=3.5mm Tip=Timecode, Yellow and Black=3.5mm Ring and Sleeve=Ground. Use this info as you like!

I'm using this adapter to get an RCA stereo auxiliary input to plug into my car stereo, which has a 3.5 mm stereo jack. This works exactly as it should. The RCA female plugs fit nice and tight, so I don't have to worry about the connection loosening over time. Great value for the price.

I use it to connect my Sennheiser G4 500 series and it has not let me down so far. I like the locking 3.5mm jack, make everything just a little more secure on a hectic set. One less thing to think about.

so just fyi if you adapt a mic with a 3.5mm TRS plug to XLR, heres a really useful tip adapting what looks like a 3.5mm stereo jack to a 1/4 inch jack to the XLR adapter you will wanna use a 3.5 mm jack to a 1/4 inch MONO jack. otherwise you will not get a signal. i know it seens like a 3.5 stereo jack to a 1/4 inch jack seems like what ya wanna do. And a lot of people make this assumtion, i did. Just figured id share this info for anyone who is trying to troubleshoot why they are getting no XLR input.

Overall, they Have a Nice Clean Sound and They Come with the 3.5mm Adaptor so if you done need the 1/4 jack you can still use and enjoy these headphones.

I use this to convert my Rode NTG 2 to my Canon t4i's 3.5mm mic jack, and I am very pleased.

Sound quality is great. Incoming and outgoing. Also love that it has a 3.5mm jack in addition to the USB
