Does Mic Adapter Work with Gimbal?
[ New ]I have a Hero 5 Black and the GoPro Gimbal. I don't have a mic adapter yet. Could I plug the USB-C of the mic adapter into the Gimbal and have it work with my Hero 5?

This setup will not work as both the HDMI and the USB port are utilized when the camera is attached to the Karma grip.
Thanks!

Re: Does Mic Adapter Work with Gimbal?
[ New ]There isn't going to be documentation stating what the device CAN'T do, but for sure there is NO documentation stating that YOU CAN.
This is an old topic that was thoroughly discussed over two years ago. You are far from being the first person to think of this and ask this question. The two responses that you have gotten have been from GoPro employees. Trust me, they know what they are saying.

Re: Does Mic Adapter Work with Gimbal?
[ New ]The Karma Grip is not designed to be used with an external mic.
This is a fact.
The only thing obvious here, is your obstinate denial of the truth.
If you can come up with a workaround that allows for using the mic adapter with the Karma Grip, plenty of people would be very interested to hear about it. Good luck to you in your endeavors.
However, as of right now, it is not possible to utilize an external mic to record audio to a GoPro camera while it is connected to the Karma Grip.
This is not up for debate. This is a fact.
