/u/MrBoski - sorry to hear that. Here are a few options you might want to consider for getting decent audio input for your videos:

Option 1 - trade the G7 X for a 4K superzoom with a mic jack

If you're still inside the return window for your new camera, you might try returning it.

For a few dollars less than the price of a [$599 PowerShot G7 X] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEWYE12/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NEWYE12&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20), you can get a [$597.99 4K Panasonic FZ300] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GAHNGM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B015GAHNGM&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) with a 24x constant f2.8 zoom.

It is a little [bulkier than the G7 X] (http://camerasize.com/compare/#573,630), but it has 4 times the video resolution, a standard 3.5mm mic jack and hours of continuous recording time at 1080p (no 30 minute limit).

Here is the image quality this camera can produce (please select 2160p and watch at your monitor's highest resolution):

Look at the tip.

Compare to something built for a typical computer

The mic you linked to is using a trrs connection (tip, ring, ring, sleeve). That's normally for stereo headphones + a mic. The mic input on your desktop/laptop is probably expecting either ts or trs. You might get it to work by not pushing the connector fully into your computer - but it really depends on how that mic is wired.

You'll likely need an adapter. I have no experience with that adapter - just linking to it based on the name alone.

Based on the cost, it would probably make more sense for you to just buy a mic that's designed for PC input

Do a google search for trrs vs trs for more detail.

Hi /u/kelhamisland - from your description, it sounds like you have one of three possible problems [Referral Links]:

  1. If you're using a straight adapter, you may have an impedance problem. Your low impedance pro mic's output needs to be matched to your medium impedance camera input. I use an [~$18 Hosa MIT-156 line matching transformer/XLR to 3.5mm adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IAJ2O/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0002IAJ2O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) to solve this problem. [Here's] (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mVcvBM6WRT0/Uz1yVcOzfFI/AAAAAAAAIzw/P81VZu4i7xo/w724-h543-no/P1120703.JPG) a picture of my Audio Technica AT835b pro XLR mic plugged straight into the Panasonic GH3 with the Hosa. It works great.

  2. If you're already using a line matching adapter, you may have a gain problem. If so, you need a clean external preamp. The least expensive is a [$33 (as of this post) IK Multimedia iRig PRE for iPhone] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007534LFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007534LFK&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) with a [$17 Rode TRRS to TRS adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L6C8PNU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00L6C8PNU&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) to convert the iRig's 4-pole iPhone output to a 3-pole stereo output your camera can handle. This setup will provide you with phantom power and external preamplification for less than $50.

  3. 6 feet may be too far away. Instead of a lav or the hassle of dual system sound - I would put the mic on a [~$100 boom] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002ZO5WM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0002ZO5WM&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and get it to within 3 to 5 feet of my subject.

    Here's a Wistia tutorial on why a shotgun on a boom is a better choice than a lav: http://wistia.com/learning/choosing-a-microphone

It just bridges the grounds. Plenty of other options, but this is the one I have experience with.

u/twoworms2 · 1 pointr/videography

Yup this is why I always have a few of these around https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L6C8PNU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thing is Deity claims their mics like the D3 will adapt itself either TRS or TRRS however I've found this only works with certain equipment.

u/robogranny42 · 1 pointr/videography

If you're on a low budget a Zoom H1 and a Rode Lav mic will work great, with that mic you'll need an adaptor as it is designed to work with phone ports

>Both have the small bar on the cord with the volume up and down buttons.

Well, I'm not too familiar with these, so I'm not sure if that's where the microphone is. The best way to make sure is to see if the cable end you're plugging into your receiver looks like this - or if it looks like this. If it's the latter, you'll run into the problem I've described earlier. You'll could obtain a cable from Bose for a hassle free solution, or experiment with adapters - I say experiment because pinouts can vary.

u/fnat · 1 pointr/Nexus6P

Something like this could be a possible workaround if it's wired correctly?

Edit: I used a somewhat related method to add mic capabilities to my Fidelio X2's:

Product 1: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OTEPUIU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - this will work on the Nexus 6P if your headphones has a detachable jack.

Product 2: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y4663GG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This will split the headphone and mic signals from the above cable into separate channels. In my case it was required for computer use since I use an external DAC for the headphones (which does not support TRRS) and had to split the mic into a separate cable. Works like a charm (you'll lose the button functionality here but that's to be expected) :)

Hi,

​

Does anyone know why my external microphone (a Saramonic SmartMic https://www.amazon.com/Saramonic-SmartMic-Microphone-Devices-Black/dp/B0142ASNY8) which is a TRRS plug, when plugged into my TRRS to TRS adaptor (https://www.amazon.com/Rode-SC3-3-5mm-TRRS-Adaptor/dp/B00L6C8PNU), and then the adaptor plugged into my iPhone 6S Plus' headphone jack (a TRS I believe), my mic does not seem to be working.

​

The voice memos and all my video recordings are still using my iPhone's internal microphones and not my external mic. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there any fix for this? I really do need to get an external mic working on my iPhone.

​

Thanks!

If this is the problem and you don't want to switch headset, there probably are TRRS -> TRS adapters available.

But in its current state you’re not supposed to be using it that way— you can use it with your phone through the Rode app in its current state but for everything else— like your mentioned computer input, SLR and audio recorder all require the TRS adaptor. Phones have the audio connection TRRS which is not up to the TRS quality. You need this adaptor if you want to use it with anything else besides a smart phone and that’s why you’ve gotten sub par results: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L6C8PNU?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

This is a TRRS mic for iphones and other smart phones

You want a TRS mic to work with your gopro.

You can just buy a TRRS to TRS adapter and it should work fine.
