Nice review, have you got your mic adaptor glued to the GoPro case?
Thanks for the great review. I was going to get the Rode Micro but your review has convinced me the Edituge ETM mic sounds wayyyyyyyy better!
Game changer. I ordered it and it’s freeking amazing. It’s tuned high, more compact than anything I’ve ever used, and it’s tuned to the perfect decibles so you get perfect audio levels. Damnnnnnn
Hey man, I wll buy an adapter for gopro, I want to know how did you put it (connect it to the gopro) like that on the video? (at 3:01 )
Sugru hack! th-cam.com/video/HSpwEW9rJ1U/w-d-xo.html
Gr8 video Russ! Which mic would you recommend for shooting a Loud Live Band ?? I'm a musician and use my gopro to film concerts I'm performing at, so I've been having a hard time with the Hero6 Audio... Thanks in advance!
That's a hard one. You could use this mic and hope the AGC or limiter kicks in and adjusts the levels. Or you could try to find an "inline pad" to help reduce the volume.
How did you mount the rode video micro when you were testing it?
Thanks for the video. Super helpful. What's the putty stuff that you used to hold the adapter onto the housing? Can you get it on Amazon?
Yeah. It’s called Sugru. Amazing stuff but has to be applied correctly. Have had mine on for over a year and no probs.
I got a question, so when you record does the audio record along with the video like it does normally or does it make two separate files? I assume it takes that mic and uses that for the audio otherwise it would be a pain. Any feedback will help! Thanks allt man!
Single file embedded in the video.
Path Less Pedaled thank you!
wow thanks! thats a nice setup.. I was wondering if the mic setup works in one click video mode(when you want the gopro to start recording in one click after its been turned off) ? thanks man!
Depends. I have a GP5 with the original firmware and it works for me. If you have a newer GP it probably won’t work (atleast that is what I have heard from others).
Path Less Pedaled oh thanks for the quick reply man! yes i have the GP6 :( and since i use it mostly in one click mode it will hamper my monk videos .. have a great week man! Hare Krishna ;)
I have watched this video a few times and it is great. Thanks for putting the descriptions at the bottom while you are using it. Keep up the good work!
Anyone find a good fur windscreen for the Edutige ETM-001 ? Besides the Edutige brand, it's like $25 lol
We use a lavalier mic windscreen.
@@PathLessPedaledTV Does the lavalier wind muff amazon link in your description fit the Edutige ETM-001? amzn.to/2ybXZGs
That’s all I use.
@@PathLessPedaledTV Thanks for the help!
@@PathLessPedaledTV I just realized something else. The link in your description, for the right angle adapter looks to be a TRRS and not a TRS. I thought GoPro used a TRS? amzn.to/2K2VuvO
Hey, great video! I enjoyed and appreciated this video. This has helped me choose what I wanted and it’s the Rhode. Also, slow down when speaking. I noticed when people are rushing to say what they want to say, they sometimes stumble upon their words with the next word. This may also mess up their thought process at that moment and may cause them to stutter or mess up. You probably also know these tips too but try rehearsing your lines, take breaks if needed, don’t try to hurry up and spit out words, relax your muscles, drink some water, breath comfortably and
remember this is your show , your rules and your time. editing is always available.
Quick tip: saying words a little slower has helped people with their thought process and confidence. This will allow you to think while speaking and also force the audience to be mindful listeners so that in all, everyone is on the same boat. Thank you for solidifying my decision!! 🙂
Communications major.
As an untrained noob trying their best... harder to do than it sounds. Apologies if I don't meet your standards.
Path Less Pedaled I know this might sound bad on paper but I just wanted to help. I sincerely did not mean to offend you if I did and no need for apologies. Like I said, it’s your show man, you can do whatever you like. You helped me and I was highly appreciative and not saying you aren’t or are , so I wanted to give back in a sense. I hope I didn’t give off the impression of me criticizing you or anything negative like that but cheers man 🍻.
My Gopro Hero 6 native microphone does no sound that bad as you demonstrated. Are you sure your fingers are not covering one of the microphones? I used to have that problem when I did not know where the microphones holes were located. Thanks for the review anyway. I have bought the YI 4k+ yesterday, I was surprise it came with a USB type C to 3.5mm adapter and the external microphone works perfectly after you turn it on under settings.
I know how to use the GoPro and wasn’t covering the mic hole. It’s how mine came.
Thank you for your expertise. I just wish you mentioned the cost when comparing them so I don't have to do the research myself. And so I can see what's in budget. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you so much for sharing this useful video!! Really straight to point video. Love it! :D
Would like to ask, how do you actually mount the adapter to Gopro? Did you use the metal case or just normal ones?
Normal case to save weight.
I thought the Saramonic was an omnidirectional microphone, why would you need to move it about depending on where you are talking from, I wouldn't have thought it would make any difference? Is it unidirectional?
It is omnidirectional. I’ve since stopped moving it around.
Good video, and I like how you showed the different options with actual audio vs just talking about them.
Cool beans! Great info.....thanks for sharing💯👍🏽
Did you have to remove the cover over the ports on the side? Also, how did you mount the adapter to the tope of your case? Can you still take the case off?
Yes. You have to remove the side. Look up our GoPro sugru video. Yes you can remove the case.
Thanks for the review, I've been wanting to use my GoPro Hero 5 but the audio is awful without an external microphone. What did you use to hold the adapter above the GoPro frame?
2 methods. Zip ties. Or Sugru. Check out our sugru vid. It’s my preferred method.
really good video and review again ! What do you think about wind noise on the Ed.. Ed .. Edutige mic ( e.g. chest mount while biking ) ?
I would recommend the Saramonic SR-XM1 and setting your GoPro setting to Standard+ which will give you a +db boost to the sound.
I don't have ambitions of starting a TH-cam channel, but I do like capturing video and photos when on vacation. Very excited to see this video tutorial series! Your focus on story, portable gear, and overall video style are definitely of interest to me. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for this great video. I noticed you have a sponge wind muff on your EDUTIGE Dual microphone ETM-001 - was this included? It doesn't appear to be included on Amazon. Where did you get yours?
I think the foam is included, but these work better amzn.to/2DQquAe
Definitely buying the saramonic. Thanks for the video
Where is the link for the adaptor ?
Thanks for the excellent video. Could you please provide a link, or info about the right angle adapter you used with the Edutige ETM 001 ? Thanks
What/How did you mount the mic on top of the gopro?
I know what you mean. I just shot a few GoPro video reviews (need to edit, no time ) with the emt 001 (shoulda called it this more often) and couldn’t pronounce the name lol. Too funny the name sucks so I’ll just have it in the captions 😁. I’m glad I’m not the only one who mangled the name and asked myself how tf is this pronounced numerous times during filming.
That saramonic is an omnidirectional mic... For vlogging would a unidirectional mic be much better?
In some circumstances, like in a noisy room. But not necessarily all the time. Watch our bike vids. 99% Omni. I prefer it esp when interviewing other people.
Hi Russ, I am new to this hobby, i am on my way to Best buy and get Gopro 6, 3-way stand, floating handle and other accessories . Based on your experienced, which one is the best external mic (proportioned to Gopro 6 not bulky one) that i can use with our get-away family vacation? We are heading to a tropical island. It seems like that there is too much fun of having this newest type of hobby, specially if you are into active/outdoor sports. Thanks a lot for your video, it helps me in finding gadgets, where i can buy, save..... definitely your video is very informative....looking for more of ur updates
Awesome video! Simple but very useful, Thank you!
Very helpful video! I was looking for better set up for my hero 6 cuz its mic sucks!! and i bought ETM 001 after watching ur video! thanks!
Is this a mono or a stereo microphone? I also wonder - can GoPro 6 use a surround microphone? (I like to use this on my other camcorder). What about another Saramonic: Saramonic Professional Stereo Microphone with Microphone Windscreen for GoPro HERO4? Is this a weaker one than the Saramonic that you are working with?
I have now taken the chance and ordered a 5.1 mic from B&H, NY (www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/500287-REG/Cascade_Audio_VIV100_Vive_Surround_Sound.html). I have a good editing program, so I have a good hope it will work.
I'm trying to find a video about vlogging setup for GoPro 3+ with Gimbal and external mic but can't find ANYTHING! Is there a budget gimbal which works with gopro 3 or 3+ with external mic? Please god help me!
Or if you know a similar setup for sjcam cameras or other cheap budget cameras with external mics and gimbal. Oh why is this so hard to find info!
The sound on the hero 6 is such a let down, and I spent 4 weeks frustrated with my external mics because I didn't know about the quick capture bug!.
I love my little 001 so much less obnoxious than the Rode when in public. Looking forward to more in the series, especially on sound, my current nemesis 😀
what is the quick capture bug?
Jesse Avignone if you have an external mic it will pick up the sound on the first recording but not the following. So I would end up checking my sound was working and it looked like it was (because it was the first recording) then non of the subsequent recordings would have any sound. I wasted so much time, money and lost footage. When I found out it was a bug I was furious.
Ride On Cycling okay, so has this been fixed on an update? I use quick capture religiously. And how do i check to see if the audio recorded, watch back every clip?
Jesse Avignone don't think it's been fixed, nothing about it was mentioned in the Feb release. Not sure if I understand your question, it's not intermittent. If you use an external mic you will only get sound on the first time you record.
Hasnt been fixed, all they did was post a warning about the problem.
Great video dude thanks for making it and sharing your knowledge.
Hey regards from mexico , 001 with right adapter works with hero 6 ????? do you recomende i buy this ?
How did you mount the cord of the GoPro 3.5 mm Microphone Adapter? The shape is so awkward and I can't figure out how to make it more travel friendly. Thanks!
Adaptor is sugrued on. Cord kinda just bent into shape.
The Hero 4 internal mics are surprisingly good, especially when used with an open housing. . I have used the Saramonic G mic with a Hero 4 silver with good results. When using the Saramonic with the Hero 4, I did find the camera's wifi as well as other close by electronics created noise in the audio. I have tried a Rode mic with the Hero 4 and the sound is very mid-range-ee. Still on the hunt for that perfect GoPro mic.
edutige 001
We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for GoPro, can we send you one to you to play with?
How did you attach the adapter on top of the camera?
I have a Zhiyun gimbal and I'm thinking about a way to attach the goproo and its adapter to the gimbal and haven't found a solution yet. What is your thought about it?
How did you mount the Adapter to the top of the Go pro?
which would be the better mic of these two for recording around residential remodeling construction and sports cars revving? would the ETM peak and clip in those environments?
The GOPRO has limiters so it should buffer some of the sound. It does run hot, so the Saramonic might be better to cut down decibels.
my bad, i meant the Saramonic vs ETM-001
That new Mic sounds way better. Thx for sharing.
I got the euditige, it sounds great 👍
I was inspired by your earlier videos to actually get GP6 because of your form factor resolutions. I had considered the Edutige as an alternative to the Saramonic. I'm so happy to see you did too.....thanks for the vid!
That's awesome! Thanks.
I am TH-camr too, but I did not have good mic. Your video is very helping. I subscribed
I’m using the edutige mic. I don’t have the GoPro mic adapter. But one of those cheap usb-c to 3.5mm jack. But I can’t hear any difference of sound. Is it because I only need the GoPro mic adapter??!!
To my knowledge you NEED the GoPro adaptor to run an external mic.
Is it possible to use the adapter and Edutige ETM-001 on the new Hero 2018?
im using the same setup with edutige mic, but the gopro hero 5 wont record any audio. any idea why??
Could you please describe camera setup that you've used for recording this video? Not the gopro? Or it was a gopro as well?
Lumix G85 and wireles lav.
Your "right angle adaptor" is TRRS (not TRS) right? It's still work?
The 001 sounds better out of the 3
So just a Quick question how do you stick the mic adapter to the GoPro?
If you see this comment and know it already it would be much appreciated if you could tell me
th-cam.com/video/HSpwEW9rJ1U/w-d-xo.html
Great review sir! Just what I needed.
I have hero 7 black would the saramonic mic help factory audio? Please help
Hello I have tried to plug in the saramonic SR-X1 into my GoPro hero 5 black adapter and it just doesn’t give me any sound at all
Have you tried these out on the road when you're biking? I'm glad I've waited so long before I added a mic. The Edutige (?) mic for riding.
Going to do a field test later this week and compare the two while riding!
The right angle adapter in your scripting is the trrs version not sure if you saw that. Great mod btw
Thanks for the headsup!
Path Less Pedaled so in the mic settings, do i put the standard + or no +? Do i get protune wav files when using an external mic?
Just found your channel and i was impressed with your clarification on different mics. I will be 21 feet away from my gopro unit any videos on distance??? thanks
No mic will work at that distance. Better off getting a wireless system.
@@PathLessPedaledTV that's what I wanted to find out...any good deals out there??? I record on the water bass fishing...
Rode Wireless Micro 💯
Looking at my cameras. The most recent is a hero 5.
To my ears, the ETM was the better mic. I thought the Rode may have been a little better than the Saramonic. Thanks for the info! Great vid brother. Where do you guys ride?
Based out of Missoula, MT!
Yes. Lived in the LBC for a while.
No. They help with pops but u need the furry cover for wind.
These ones! amzn.to/2A6d6XK
The GoPro is a funny camera. It is not the "best" in terms of video or audio, but I find I use it the MOST because it is so small and convenient. At the end, good content beats production value!
Great video , it was very helpful to me 😀💯
Got a gopro7 Black. I was wondering if I need a right angle adaptor for the rode video micro. Thanks
No.
Do I need to use the gopro branded adapter or could I get any usbC to 3.5mm adapter?
You NEED the GoPro one. Others won't work.
@@PathLessPedaledTV thank you! Yeah, I'm learning that now and they're sold of them on the site... guess I'll have to wait a bit
Where did u buy your go pro mic adapter? I been waiting on mine for like 3 weeks from amazon I'm so frustrated 😵😵
Got it from Amazon.
Do the Lavalier wind muffs that you recommend below work for the edutige etm 001 mic? Thanks!!
Yes! Easier to get on the ETM too.
Do I need any additional accessories to attach it to my GoPro ? mounts ?
Look up our Sugru hack.
Hey brother. I'm using that Edutige Mic and the gopro 6 and the gopro mic adapter. having some issus with the audio. wondering if you had any. i can hear clicking sounds and humming at times. im also using a Feiyutech G6 gimbal. don't know if when i sync it up with the gopro 6 if sounds i am hearing are from the gimbal. your thoughts?
Clicking and humming are signs of RF interference. Make sure you are not using it near a phone or anything transmitting WiFi/Bluetooth/cellular.
Path Less Pedaled I am connected to the Feiyutech app for both the gimbal and the GoPro. No other way around that?
First run a test without any apps and just the mic to confirm it is from RF interference. If it is, then there really is no work around. The body of the GP is not very well shielded for that use. You could use a wired lavalier, but you have to make sure the wire is shielded from wireless transmissions.
Path Less Pedaled thank brother appreciate the reply.
your right angle adapter is TRRS?
Question: How are you mounting the 3.5mm mic adapter to your GoPro case?
A block of Sugru. Look up our “Sugru GoPro Hack”.
I love your reviews - thanks, Russ!
Do you need a wind muff for the etinruge ?
Dang man. You always making spend my money. I got the seramonic because of your old video and now this one.... 😂
does anyone know what he put on bottom of the Saramonic mic
How is the adapter connected to the camera? Is that something I can also buy
th-cam.com/video/HSpwEW9rJ1U/w-d-xo.html
Your reference for "Right Angle Adaptor (a little long)" points to a 1/4" connector. Don't the GoPro Mic Adapter and Edutige Mic use 3.5mm connectors?
You're right. Here is the right link. amzn.to/2K2VuvO
Path Less Pedaled it’s a TRRS adapter. But you said that gopro’s mic adapter only works with TRS?? what kind of right angle adapter should I buy??? I’m confused
Damnmari o sorry. I meant to link to the TRS version.
You are a very likeable fellow! I must say. I am with you... who does not want quality at a reasonable price?... I want a rig small enough that I can still use with a gimbal... which I am shopping for... any ideas? There is one right now (Hohem 3 Axis Stabilizer) for $159 in Amazon. Thanks so much and I will check your site for other videos to soak up some of your wisdom.
Awesome video! I can not find the mic cover for the Edutige mic on amazon
does it mater that i have a gopro hero and the mic that i want is compatable for gopro hero 3, 3+, and hero 4
It matters if you don't have a gopro hero 3, 3+ or 4 I guess.
I don't think right angle adapter makes any sense with etm-001 because it is omnidirectional, you should've tried it with etm-008 which is unidirectional. Thanks for video i was surprised by sound quality of etm-001 and ordered one.
Yes. I no longer use the right angle adaptor and just plug the 001 directly.
@@PathLessPedaledTV What do you use to mount gopro adapter to its case?

Probably for some that know about all this GoPro it’s good video for me as a very beginner it’s very confusing I am trying to fallow the microphones you are suggesting, overall good video I just have to keep on looking
Thank you
Hello, Which configuration i need tu use in my hero 5 for 001 edutige ? regards
Should just work if you use the external mic adaptor.
What did you use to adhere or mount the mic adapter to the housing?
th-cam.com/video/HSpwEW9rJ1U/w-d-xo.html
Mmm very good video.... loving your work... this is a big help for me .... 👍
Can you send me the link for where to buy the rode video mic
the sound from Edutige ETM 001 is actually way better... i'm not sure where I can grab that here though
update: it seems edutige only sells in the US...sheeesh!!! loved the 008 (the uni one)
In this video - th-cam.com/video/Ci5s6ms9qAU/w-d-xo.html, the saramonic sounds better
Thank you
How do you put the audio adapter on the gopro
Awesome video. Picking up the Saramonic. Shame that you spend hundreds on an action cam and the audio is no better than a cup and a string.
Check out our review on the ETM-001 mic also. What we are currently using the most.
Will these things work with my gopro hero 2018
Not sure. They may have messed with the audio components.
for the right angle adapter, it’s TRS or TRRS?
TRS
Please do a comparison between the edutige omnidirectional etm001 mic and the unidirectional etm008 shotgun mic
You mean like this? th-cam.com/video/1jq84LOls9I/w-d-xo.html
Path Less Pedaled haha yeah i typed into the search button and of course you popped up. Lol thanks for the awesome reviews. Glad I got the better of the two
I went with the etm because for what I'm doing I want to capture ambient noise
Oh I like this new series. I'll watch every one.
Hey do they both work with the hero 7?
Great. Thats what I use.
ahhh u a silver boi :)
You need to do an outdoor test with wind. That is more practical.
Did that in another video.
