How to connect an external microphone to your Smartphone

TRRS to TRS DYI:

I always wondered why my 10$ external lapel microphone I bought for my GOPRO won’t work with my smartphone. The answer is that the ground and the Mic connectors are inverted between a microphone 3.5 mm male jack and a smartphone female 3.5 mm jack connector. This video shows step by step a diy (do it yourself) adapter to connect any microphone with a 3.5 mm jack to your smartphone. If you are too lazy you can still buy the MyMyk adapter for about 30 $.

I am an electrical engineer who loves programming. I like drawing and think and imagine my next video about cooking or how to fix my laptop or my cell. I gave myself a goal to fly a plane. I still have a lot of ideas to come.
