We get a lot of people thinking that their 3.5mm Mic Adapter isn't working even though they have tested it with multiple microphones. In every case I have seen so far, this issue is not with the adapter, it is with their choice of microphone. Many "non powered" mics, meaning they don't have a battery in them, still require power. In these cases, the mics use what is called "plug-in power". What this means is that power for the mic is supplied through the camera itself.
Microphones that have their own batteries should all work properly as they do not need Plug-in Power.
While there are other mics that don't have batteries, and do not need Plug-in Power, these are usually pretty cheap mics and are not going to give really good results most of the time.
I hope this helps some people.
