Is this audio adapter two-way?

Question

I have a stereo 1/8" jack on my camera and I have a mono shotgun mic with a mono 1/8" cable end and am looking for an adapter to connect the two. The description of this doesn't say if it is too ways (it mentions that it goes from the 1/8" end to the 1/4" end) so I was wondering if it goes too ways since I obviously need the signal to go through the 1/4" end and out the 1/8" end as a microphone, not through the 1/8" to the 1/4" end like a headset. Here is the adapter I was looking at: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Monster-Cable-1-8--Male-Stereo-to-1-4--Female-Mono-Cable-Adapter-330091-i1172784.gc

Answer 1

first double check to make sure the 1/8" connection on the camera is for a mic. it could be for headphones to listen to playback.  next try the mic with its mono plug as supplied, that should work just fine, you will have mono sound recorded. you should not need an adaptor.
