Very expensive for what it is
It's a flimsy adapter, the jack side is made to be screwed but I don't have those jacks, only regular ones, so it does wiggle quite a bit.
Other than that the power is converted from phantom power to the appropriate level so that part is ok.
Overall, I find this accessory very expensive for what it is.

Well done again Rode. 5*
Use
Connecting 5 SENNHEISER ME 2-II MIC via XLR to control room. Lavs needed power and this adapter did the job.
Pros
5 units was half the price of a single unit for the same function from OEM. Rode look after the end user so well.
Further information
What can I say you can't go wrong with Rode for anything. Use this for
5*
Excellent service by Thomann. 1st purchase. Strongly recommended.

Works fine but signal level is really low
Adapter works fine but when I connected my headset through it (Beyerdynamic MMX 300) signal level is really low. I need to max out preamps in interface to even hear something. I know it's always "better safe than sorry" since probably other mics could get damaged from higher voltage than VXLR+ feeds but still it's a bit of inconvenience.
Other than that everything is cool.

Adaptor for mini-jack terminated headset microphones
A very handy adaptor to use your mini-jack headset mics with normal cables via sound-desk +48v phantom power.

Good stuff, mono though.
Use
Switching the 48V phantom power of my audio interface to 3V for EM172 capsules. Works well for one. But since I'm working on a binaural recording setup, I need stereo. I wrongly assumed it would work because of TRS jack. Will buy a second one.
Would have been nice if this was mentioned in the description.

Works fine, allows longer cable runs with on camera mics
Use: allows me to use Rode VideoMicro with an audio interface/zoomh5, using XLR cables, or even on a boom pole.
Pros:
build quality
belt clip included
3.5mm threaded jack (screw on type)
Cons:
not as cheap as a passive adapter, but price seems reasonable
Have to think of a better mounting solution when using with a boom pole. Temporarily can use tape, but maybe an elastic band or something else would be better.

the perfect adapter
very good quality adapter, always handy to convert 3,5mm into XLR to use any audio device with a decent audio interface !

Get what you pay for
It’s cheap and it does power, but introduces a lot of noise floor to lavs. Can’t really be used to a professional standard for audio.
