The factory is holding off on this cable.@sjcam_official how's the work on adapter going?

Hi, so no way to record via cable from other source?The factory is holding off on this cable.
Thanks a lot. I´ll give a try to that.Maybe try the Movo mic adapter.
Maybe try the Movo mic adapter.
Just got it. Will test in a bit.@Pablo Zenair can You let us know if it worked? cheers!
That does not work. SJ7 Star's mini-usb use non-industry standard connection points. Guess you guys only want us to buy your mic. Sad cause I want to use different mic.Maybe try the Movo mic adapter.
somebody confirmed Eaton mic would work with an adapter......That does not work. SJ7 Star's mini-usb use non-industry standard connection points. Guess you guys only want us to buy your mic. Sad cause I want to use different mic.

Several people have made their own adapter cables... we will create a thread on our forum with solutions to those who want to use their own mics.I do not really care if I have to buy an adapter that was made by SJ and pay more for it, or buy a no name one that actually works. For me it is necessary not to be locked to SJ: s own microphones. Primary because SJ makes cameras and not external microphones. And because of that I believe that the sound quality will suffer. I am also convinced no one will buy an action camera just to use it with SJ: s current external microphones. Moto-vloggers? Sure, but I can guarantee you that they rather just plug and play with an adapter and use their usual setup of external microphones. What Pablo Zenair is talking about I believe is a more common cause. Where having an action camera actually makes sense. In an aircraft or similar.
I currently own a SJ4000 which I rate highly. That´s the camera that I attach to the roll bar of my rally car when I go rallying. And believe me, it preforms. But I have always missed that possibility to have the sound from the intercom going directly in to the camera. Which have made me use a Zoom h1 to capture the sound from the intercom. Which a then have to sync with the picture from the SJ4000. A job that is both frustrating and tiresome. After a rally with 5-6 special stages. And I believe that´s why GoPro is bigger than SJcam both when it comes to rallying and flying. Just because sound, and in this case from an intercom makes for a huge difference.
When the day comes that we can buy an adapter (similar to the GoPro one) which makes it possible to attach a normal 3,5 mm cable to an adapter and plug it in to the SJ6. Please tell me. Because I will be the first one to order myself a new SJ action camera, and adapter.
Yes, we do... one sec pleasehi,
I'm willing to make an adapter on my own, I have a bunch of electronics at home that I can use.
The official SJCAM mic is not good for motovlogging, the mic is to big and the impedance generates an high gain level that I don't wan't.
@sjcam_official do you have a pinout for the USB adapter? I need to know which pins are connected to the MIC.

I bought a sj7 star along with a microphone. The camera is great but the external is picking up wind noise only even inside my camera helmet. I have tried putting foam/deadcat/tape. Nothing worked. I will share u a link of a video in case u want to hear what it sounds like.This new review thoroughly tests internal and external SJCAM mics. v1.15 fw:
