UPDATE: OK. I now have my GH5, and have set it up. I put this audio interface unit on it, and then put a Rode NTG-3 on that. I recorded a vlog. Here is the verdict. This unit is really great. Like, GREAT, great. There was no noise. The audio was spotless. Everything seems very sturdy. Also, I confirmed that this unit will NOT work with the GH4. I put it on one of my GH4s, and the audio interface would not power on. Apparently, there is no way to supply a constant source of power from the GH4 to this audio interface. So this interface is strictly for the GH5. But it is still one heck of a compact, light, and high quality audio interface. So when working with a GH4, one still has to use a Tascam or H4n if you want to feed XLR mics into the GH4. Or one can use, say, a Sony wireless setup to go directly into the GH4 without an interface. But for the GH5, this audio interface is the way to go.
There's obviously more options out there, but this does the job and offers a quick simple way to reduce editing time.
For projects that need a quick turnaround, this is great.
Reviews that point out how cheaply made it feels, are right. Light weight is good, but this really feels cheap for the price.
The box arrived crushed, but the item seems fine.
Conclusion: it does what it's supposed to do. But, I don't know if it will stand up to real world use, outside of a studio setting, as it feels like the slightest little knock could break it. Time will tell.
Returned. Over a month and Amazon refuses to refund. Good product. Terrible service.

I used to attach my Zoom H5 to my rig, and then run a line out from it into the GH5. Effectively, it gave me 2 XLR inputs, good quality audio directly in-cam, and the option to have a backup audio recording (in-cam and recording to the H5).
Using the DMW-XLR1 is quicker and simpler to set up out of my bag—less cables, less weight. On a recent live-event shoot, when I thought intermittent loud music was clipping, I was surprised to hear that it all sounded great (I think it has a built-in limiter?). Either way, it sounded great and that was without using the -20db pad.
Improvements/requested features for the next iteration:
- Option to duplicate Ch.1 to Ch.2, but record Ch.2 at a lower db (however, maybe not needed as the limiter worked so well?)
- A 3.5mm jack to accept a line out from something like a Zoom H5 recorder or other microphones with that output
Great piece of gear that doesn't add weight or get in the way.
Top reviews from other countries
I also got an XLR splitter cable to create a safety channel when recording people speaking.
When connecting or removing the XLR cables from the DMW-XLR1, I recommend doing so while the unit is off your camera. This ensures you're not putting pressure on the hotshoe connection because the fit for my cables has been snug.
Love this adapter and highly recommend.
