In what circumstance would you use a lav mic with your GoPro? What creative options will you come up with?

[joncothranphotography]

Great stuff! That sweet, luscious beard must have blocked the wind noise on the bike.

Thank you for the info Ralph, I will do these in my videos for sure! Cheers!

[jaselikesbikes]

Thanks! I have the media mod but haven't used it yet so this gives me a good gaugh on how my cycling vlogs will come out. Wind is the main issue for me.

Great vid Ralph. It's a shame that the lav input is on the back of the Gopro, as it means the wire will dig into your head if wearing the headstrap! Are there no other inputs?

Not sure if you're familiar with Tentacle Sync but I use that every chance I can get with the GoPro. You plug the Sync E into the mic input of the GoPro mod attached to the GoPro and it feeds a time sync signal onto the GoPro audio channel. Then I record audio on the Tentacle Track E(voice recorder) which is synced with all the Sync E's(have 4 so can use 4 cameras). After recording I just drag all the audio/video into the app or final cut and it all gets synced easy peasy and because its 32 bit float clipping is next to impossible. The only down side is while using the mod the GoPro is no longer water/dust proof. Cheers.

Great vid - Is there anyway to keep the media mod mic or internal mic recording at the same time? I use this set up in my motorcycle helmet and it's great for capturing my voice but it lacks ambient noise.

[LokeshThakur]

nice vid, will the mic jack get in the way of the go pro chest mount?

[RRRRefuelRideRace]

A cool video. Does it work also with the GoPro 9?

[MinistryOfMarriage-ecuz]

Loved it but no mention of the length of cable

I've tried to use a lav mic with the Hero 12 plus Media Mod several times. I mount the lav in my motorcycle helmet and I get clipping, a LOT of clipping. It's incredible frosting and it happens even on the standard mic setting. I've often wondered if perhaps a powered lav mic might work better.

You´re awesome man, thanks for this Video! Firstly, great Info that I need the media case, didn´t knew that yet. I will definitely use it for my Moto Vlogs, already did that with the Insta360 OneR but thought it´s time for a little upgrade! Maybe I´ll also try to connect the Rode Wireless Go. Thanks again for this great delivery of Information!!

Nice video! I want to use for snowboarding

[alexjucu]

Hello. Nice video. Microfon model pls?

[jeffestrada]

Hi there I am a motorcycle rider that wants to replicate your set up. Your microphone lav mike seems to work well. Where did you source it? Thanks again 👍

[chefriz]

Ralph I have a question. I have a GoPro 10 with a lav mic. I have it set up in my motorcycle helmet. Seems the audio is a bit to loud and it hears all my breathing. Is there a way to lower the mic down ?

[FariGoneEatk]

IS THERE ANYWAY TO SEPARATE THE LAV MIC AUDIO FROM THE GO PROAUDIO

[greasycanadianbiker]

I have used 3 different lav mics and get tons of snap crackle pop. U get snap in your video as well. How do I fix this horrible noise??

[MrWoodleyf]

I have a Lav mic with a USB-C jack on the end. Can I plug this into the USB-C connecter on the media mod for use as a mic?

[in-lawgarage]

love blow! haha. i will forever call it that now. thanks for the review!
