Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How would I use this microphone with a GoPro Hero5? I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

A: This DPA 4060 has a locking 3.5mm connector and it also requires 5 to 10V of plug-in power so I would not recommend it for use with the GoPro Hero5. The 4060 is really designed for use with a wireless transmitter, not for direct connection to a camera. Additionally, the 3.5mm GoPro mic adapter has a standard non-locking input so the mic will not be connected securely and it is very likely that the mic may require more voltage than the camera can supply. You definitely can use the DPA 4060 with a wireless mic system such as the Sennheiser EW 112P G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System - A: 516 to 558 MHz (B&H # SEEW112PG4A) -- you can choose the frequency band. The wireless transmitter will supply the proper voltage for the mic and the wireless receiver will connect to the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter (B&H # GO35MA) without any problems. We also have other wireless mic systems that use the same type of locking connector and wiring as Sennheiser which would be compatible with with the 4060 mic. We can also help you to select a different mic if you do prefer to use a wired mic with the Hero5. Please contact us by phone or through live chat on the website for further assistance.

Q: 5. Can work with rode wireless pro?

A: No, the DPA 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Interview Kit is not compatible with the Rode Wireless Pro natively as the mic has a Microdot connector. You will need to use an adapter like B&H # TEMA01.

Q: 6. why there is no compatibility list for the microphone???

A: The Canon DM-E100 Directional Microphone is compatible with any camera that has a 3.5mm microphone input that is capable of supplying plug-in power. As such, any list of all compatible models would be excessively long and ultimately unhelpful.

Q: 7. What plug do I use for lectrosonic I thought it was Ta5 but I only see TA4 on the 6060

Q: 9. what is the clip that the man in video used to hold the mic onto his cloth?

Q: 10. Why has no one reviewed this mic yet, I can't find any user based or professional reviews anywhere online. Can B&H give an indication of its quality, pros and cons?

A: I dont know why the mic has yet to be reviewed by customers. Though, there should be some reviews available online. That being said, while I have yet to use the mic myself, its predecessor was a solid quality mic, and I would expect no less from this one.
