Does this mic work with the dreaded WHITE - GO PRO 3 camera?

Brian - I don't know. But I can tell you, this mic is not something I would recommend. When I use it with my Canon T3i Camera, the camera supplies the voltage needed for the microphone (the mic doesn't have internal batteries). Sometimes, the camera voltage is too low and the microphone sounds very distorted. In addition, it tends to fluctuate in output - getting loud, then soft. A better choice would probably be one of the inexpensive Audio Technica battery powered mics. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

Any of the GoPro cameras that have a "Skeleton" back door, permitting you to attach a separate mic like this one, also let you plug the camera into AC power. Since this mic doesn't accept batteries and draws power from the camera, that's going to be your best bet to keep the mic voltage up and steady: power the whole camera via AC power or a lithium inverter pack, while you're using the lavalier mic. (Or, as Mike Curl said, just get a battery-powered lavalier like an Audio Technica: those are good little mics too. Always have a spare battery on hand though!)

If the mic connector on the camera is a screw lock connector it should work. If its not a screw lock the plug wont fit all the way in to the unit and it wont work

Yes, I used hero 3 black, it is just the mask with the mount, so should be compatible with any go pro, it does not include the waterproof housing if that's where the question was going

Yes it works on the Hero 2. But the recording will be on one side only. I haven't used it in a long time. But I needed a Movie Studio Platinum 12 to change from mono to stereo to get sound on both speakers. Also you have to make sure the mic is plugged before turning on. Some people who had their GoPro on then inserted the mic, had their mic break.

Yes it will work with any other compatible microphone even if you do not have a camera. My advice though is invest your money in a new Logitech Quick Cam in the long run you will be satisfied and get your investment back.

It works with every go pro model. It screws into the bottom of the camera case. Its just like the mounts you can buy for it, only this one goes on your head.

I'm not positive, but it is a standard microphone setup, so I'd say it will work. I'm not familiar with that mic though.Hope this helps

Yes. I use the camera input audio. Make sure you use a high gain microphone for best results. I'm using a Creative Sounds boom microphone.

If your camera or shell case has the threaded connecting hole it, this will work. It will not work with Go-Pro cases

If your GoPro hero 4 has an 1/8" input than YES! it will work. Great Mic too!

Well, it might work if you tape the mic to the top or side of the GoPro and forgo the clip. But, in any case, the mic is just not strong enough to pick up a lot of sound unless it's directly near the source of the sound

It should but you'll need a 3.5mm adapter cable if the camera doesn't support XLR inputs because this mic is XLR output. If it doesn't have audio input, then you'll need to record audio separately in which case it works with any camera. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure but in any case I wouldn't buy it just because of its severely limited compatibility. Ideally you want a mic that will plug into anything and work. This isn't it.

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 don't know whether it will work with a GoPro Hero 3. It works with a Canon 5D Mark III. I SUSPECT that it will work with any camera that has the correct little stereo socket connector. Bob

I looked at Youtube videos to get myself acquainted with the Go Mic and I saw a video that said the Go Mic comes with hardware that will allow it to be connected to a boom mic stand. I saw one video of a guy using the Go Mic with an adjustable mic boom. If you search for Youtube video called "Samson Go Mic demo" which was posted by tapkae, you might be able to come to your own conclusion. I don't want to mislead you into thinking the Go Mic will easily work with the ProLine stand but it turns out not to work or it's such a pain to deal with.

As far as I know It only works with waterproof housing for Hero 3 which is what I have. You would have to check on other models of GoPro to see if it would fit those.
