I have recently bought a Boblov X6 action camera and want to know if it is possible to connect an external microphone to it. It has a Micro USB and HDMI port.
Very unlikely, the cameras which accept external microphones normally have a 10 pin mini USB ports, not micro USB ports, and that looks like a 5 pin micro USB port which doesn't have enough pins anyway.
Thanks Nigel, yes the micro USB has only 5 pins. I was looking at taking a chance on this lead so I could plug in my lapel mic (3.5mm). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361929521844
Looks like I will have to go inside the Boblov X6 and de-solder the internal mic and solder in a female 3.5mm socket...
@Paffman , @Nigel ,this X6 camera can not support extra microphone;
The only way is split your microphone and solder to internal mic,red to red,black to black.
Thanks for that. I can fit a 3.5mm female jack and solder to the internal mic, but am a little afraid of damaging the body when I take it apart. Is there a diagram of how the X6 is put together that I could see before I try?
Hey,Steve,It is difficult to take apart camera,anyway,we made one video guide for you reference,and also sent its video to your email already,please check!
