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 $.
