GoPro Hero 9 Mic Options and Testing

Is it possible to get a USB C to 3.5mm jack and plug in any mic? Do I absolutely need the media mod?

Few years later, here I am with the comment, mate, where did you buy that furry thing that you put on your GoPro camera? I think that for my needs, the built in mic with that thing is more than enough. :) Thanks! Btw, I subscribed, great content!

the media mod mic sounds like ass. i have it. but i use it to plugin an external mic.

Just subscribed!

Wish you would have showed how to actually set these up

I missed why you said you try to avoid using auto wind reduction? Also I hate how GoPro forces people to buy media mod to add mics, shouldn’t that be open to all manufacturers

if u make a video about audio play back ur stuff on utube and hear that ur video sound sux.

Little different but what mic would you recommend to pickup vehicle noise I like to capture motorsports style videos

Great video. I just have two questions for you. Why not have the wind reduction feature turned on all the time, and where did you get the wind screen? Thanks for the content

Thanks for all the test very helpful

I have the hero 5 black and I need an external mic like the Lav style that I can place in a separate location from the gopro so it does not pick up the same vibrations from the road. It seems the hero 5 black utilizes a clunky box adapter in order to use an external mic. Do you know a better way or do I have to upgrade?

built in mic is better than media mod mic. Period.

Thank you! This was a huge help!

Love the etm mic!

Hello Mr, I’m from Cambodian use gopro hero10, make to videos I’m not use microphone.🇰🇭❤️️🙏 Thank you

Great test. Lav is best for voice as you said. Built in mic with auto wind reduction seems the best and most practical overall.

awesome video! question, what ulanzi cold shoe adapter is that?

Media Mod sounds totally good to me and I'm usually pretty particular about this stuff (hens why I'm watching this comparison).

Can you use the ETM-001 directly with the GoPro hero black nine, or do you need to also include the Media Mod?

Hi. Why are you using an adapter with three stripes instead of two. ?

Hello
I take the liberty of contacting you I am French I am looking for an alternative to the GoPro Hero 9 microphone I am filming sporting events on a scooter I am looking for a microphone to plug into my GoPro Hero 9 black so that I can comment on the bike race live

the gopro hero 9 has 3 mics, so if you cover all 3 you should be good to go without anything else :)

Really good review. Appreciate that you do the bike test. Thanks.

This was very helpful, thank you! But can we talk about the incredible homes in your neighborhood?? WOW! Those are multi million dollar houses here in San Diego, CA.

Great comparison. Useful. You got my like. :)

Do you recommend the Hero 9 for multi use? (i.e recording both my appliances and maybe also my night biking rides?)

Do you think the ETM-001 would be good for POV driving videos for my channel?

Thanks for doing this test. I recently got the Hero10 and used the media mod mic a few times. I don't like it. It sounds tinny, and this is exemplified in your testing as well. I like the lab mic best, but it's not as convenient. I got a windslayer foam type thing I'll be trying out to help the onboard mics perform better in the wind.

Hi Clint, thanks for this video! I'm looking for a high quality mic for live concert footage of both the crowd and live music. Which one of these mics would you recommend for my application?

Great video !
Just got myself the Gopro10 with a chest rig to use while I'm out fishing. Not too impressed by the sound quality when it's a bit windy, do you have any tips for which microphone would be best? The camera itself will be on the chest rig and sometimes on a pole in the middle of the boat, which microphone would you recommend?

Thank you for the information

Thanks Clint, I've just started my own channel and so far don't have a mic outside the built-in one on my Go-Pro. Still scratching my head a bit deciding which to get but this was really helpful.

Can you provide the link to the ulanzi adapter for media mod to keep the furry mic higher?

So glad I found you. Have a Hero 10 so this is still applicable. Great options here I hadn’t heard before. You got me as a new subscriber.

Etm-001 the best

Have u considered putting a compressor and limited on the audio tracks?

Awesome video, just turn down sharpness to middle in the camera.

does the etm001 with the dead cat + l adapter move when on the media mod?

I got the media mod, too. And as in your video it's internal mic sounds worse then the gopro's.
But the hero 9 mics regularly add some crackling/pop sound into the audio chanells.

The ETM-001 elbow adapter that you have linked and that you show in the video is a TRS to TRRS adapter. I didn’t think that worked?? Please advise. Thank you. Great info in this video.

Just found your channel due to your gopro stuff. You seem like a pretty cool dude. Keep up the good work.

Hey, I got the ETM001, not sure if mine is defective but ive tried different types of foam and dead cats but once I get to about 30km/h on the bike the wind noise litterally cuts the audio in and out, sounds like its 'clipping'. Do I just need to try to cut down on wind noise even more?

I actually think the Built in GoPro mic sounded the best, other then the lapel mic.

Thanks! This video is very helpful.

Nice video 👍🏼

Where do you get the furry screens for the internal built in microphones?
