AF100 w/GoPro Hero 3

[eqwalker]

I have just recently ordered a GoPro Hero 3 to record some in-car footage w/audio to match with other footage from the AF100. I currently have a couple of Audio Technica XLR shotgun mics that I have been using with my AF100 (phantom power) and would like to use one (or both) with the GoPro. The GoPro has only 1/8 mini jack on it. Is there any adapters or boxes to be able to use the XLR mics with the GoPro to capture sound, or should I abandon the idea and just put the AF100 in the car with the mics attached to it to use it as an audio recorder? Any recommendations? I have never messed with a GoPro before.

I did not know the new Hero 3 had a audio input, anyhow for what its worth i would stick with the AF100 for audio. Your mics are XLR balanced outputs and the GoPro input is an unbalanced input, you will need a box of tricks called a balun to do the conversion (balanced to unbalanced) and this device has also to supply the phantom power.
Also cars are electrically hostile places (well older cars are) and a unbalanced audio cable at mic level running into the GoPro camera is liable to pick up all sorts of electrical interference.
