    Hello,

    I've just bought the new waterproof housing with external power support for my SJ6 Legend.
    I needed it for my motorcycle, so that i can charge the camera while driving and at the same time protect it from water/dust/etc.

    The sad part is that it only supports the charging cable... the sjcam external mic has a 90º angle connector that won't fit on the hole of the housing.. :(

    The new housing should be compatible with sjcam mic's :(

    Best regards.

    I had to cut it.
    I lost waterproof but whatever, I don't ride with rain.

    Hopefully Dwayne b will come up with a way to build a cable that allows using a standard USB cable which is modified, outside of the waterproof fitting, for power and a mic.

    Or, possibly incorporate the signal to the USB output, and make the microphone connection *outside* the waterproof case, perhaps?
