Add pro-grade audio to your 360 setup without breaking your flow. This compact adapter lets you plug in an external 3.5 mm microphone while keeping power flowing via USB-C. It’s precision-shaped for X5 so it stays completely invisible in 360° shots, and the buckle mount clicks in securely for fast on/off between setups.
