I just got my 4k+ and it looks really great! The only thing that bothers me is the microphone adapter. It does not allow you to charge and use the external microphone at the same time. There is an adapter for the GoPro that does the trick, but I don't think it's working with our Yi 4k+. Did anyone try that or know another third-party adapter that is actually working? Maybe there will be one in a few months...
 
Yeah I would want something like this too. A sort of dongle cable, that allows you to hook up a
battery bank for charging, or to run the camera with that extra power. And at the same time
use a external microphone, stereo is best but mono works too.

It depends on what camera it is, most of them did use a mini-USB port, and some do have
USB microphone option. Now with this new Ambarella chip they have moved on to that USB-C
port. I guess we will have to wait a while.

It does take some time for YouTube reviewers to catch up to these new cameras and test them out.
 
I don't think a mic./power cable is available least of all from Yi.
If you owned a gitup git 2 such is available. Gopro complicates the need with that ridiculous huge dongle!
