Can you tell me what to search for? The links posted above are no longer active, and I do see several usb to 3.5 jack adapters but they aren't specified as compatible with the X series. I know they have uncommon usb sized ports so wasn't sure what to search for.

I searched for "Fujifilm X20 x100s Microphone Adapter USB [Multi-connector to 3.5mm Stereo] FUJI". I found just one listing on eBay.

Yeah, I saw that one too. Looks like I missed that one by a few days. But that's okay, I am planning to make my own now.

I found the correct connectors and ordered them. I've done quite a bit of soldering so I'm pretty comfortable with the process. If anyone is interested I'll make a few since they come in a quantities of 10.

If you sell them on eBay i imagine they will be quite popular. I have the Fujifilm X30 and if they have continued making these propietary wires you really should not have any problems selling them.

I were not good enough at soldering to make them myself.

My parts finally came in the mail and made myself one. I don't have a mic yet but will test it once it arrives.

Your soldering skills are better than mine. I tried making my own by ended up buying one on eBay.

You have done well, Padawan.

Hi,

I know this is an old post, but probably still helpful for a lot of people! (Myself included).

I know this is for 3.5mm and not 2.5mm, but would the adapter included in this also do the job to allow the use of an external mic?

You could give it a try but I doubt it. The wire / adapter from Fuji is propietary so I doubt it is compatible with equptment from other wendors.

I have the same problem/question with my Fujifilm X20 and I asume I am looking for the same adapter. Do you sell these adapters or interested in selling me one?

Hello Ilpostino, well 9 years past but still I'll ask you the question: did you ever make your X20 working with an external microphone?
