In this vid, I show you what I think is the best audio solution for the GoPro Hero5. Most recommend a Rode mic, which is fine but WAY too big. This solution gives good audio but maintains a small form factor. Links to all the pieces below:

Best video I've found for keeping the small compact size of a gopro with an audio upgrade. Most setups make a bulky rig which takes away the compactness.
This is the simpliest set up that ive seen. Im totally sold! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for this video! According to what you said and what you "showed" with this micro, I decided to order the same. Just got it delivered, I tested it and it's awesome sound quality for a Gopro! I fully recommend this microphone too!
I’m just waiting for the directional mic to arrive in the post then my rig is complete , thank you so much for this hack 👌🏼
Thanks bro! This is the best vlogging setup for gopro!
Wow, massive difference! Thanks for sharing this rig definitely useful!
I got what you recommended, the improvements are just mind blowing. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great audio fix! I just got my first GoPro (Hero 6 Black) and the audio is indeed terrible. After watching your video I ordered the GoPro obnoxiousxly big mic adapter and the wonderfully small Saramonic SR-XM1. What I love about this solution is that the Saramonic mic not only improves the audio greatly but it swivels so I can point it either ahead at a subject or if I am narrating back at myself behind the camera. I just got the mic in today and did a test. I am very, very please. I am used to professional and semi professional video equipment and am a big fan of Rode mics and Sennheiser but for casual purposes the Saramonic sounds great and is a bargain at under $30.
Awesome thanks! Also been loving the Edutige 001 mic. We have a vid on that. It's a little hotter output than the Saramonic.
Best rig ive ever used. Best audio and minimal. Thanks a bunch. The mic sounds great
Great Video bro! Thanks for the tip on finding a sleek way to mount that ridiculous adapter.
Just added all the necessary stuff to my wish list on Amazon! Thanks for the awesome vid =)
Thank you very much. This was the solution to my audio problem. Creatively brilliant!
Great video! Bought this stuff, followed your instructions and the final result was awesome. Thanks so much.
Great video gonna give this setup a try! Thanks!
Just got all this gear today and I am very pleased! Thank you for all your help. I do a channel on cars and I will be making a vlog about my new setup and I will give you several shout outs! Thanks again.
Quick question - is there a setting on the GoPro that I need to change now I have an external mic? Thanks in advance.
Great video man, thank you for sharing. you have given me some great ideas :-)
good video. also got this saramonic mic. never thought to use it with the GoPro 5. thanks.
We just subscribed. Considering I bike raced for years and we do some travel videos too - by bike- makes sense. These days - we focus our stories on the slopes. Great solution for audio.
179 dollars for that adapter! COW!
After 2 days of searching your video is the answer I've been looking for. Thank you!!!
I like how this setup is still very compact.
You are a God! This is working great on my Hero 7. The only drawback is the record button seems to be somewhat hard to get to.
Thanks Russ! I've been wanting to upgrade from iPhone only videos to something more robust. This has been a great tip!
Just subbed because of this vid, I just did some fliming today with my hero 5 and the wind reduction killed almost the entire audio of my riding session XD
Thanks for the video, very helpful and much appreciated.
Great vid. Very helpful. I use a chest mount for my Hero 5 and I pick up all kinds of noises from just moving around and casting while I fish. I wonder if this set up would help with my audio.
+Fish Hawk yes. It will reduce the body handling noise that is awful with the Hero 5.
making this rig, thanks homie . wish I knew GP was selling out before i bought the 5 hahah
Thanks for sharing! Just got my set up put together - now headed to Thailand to Vlog and check it out. This solves a huge problem, I used to record everything on an H1 and have to sync it all in post (gigantic headache). This seems like it''ll make my editing life a lot easier now. Cheers!
Awesome. Definitely easier than syncing in post!
Awesome DIY thanks. Can you still use the USB C port with mic plugged in?
I'm using 1.57 and the non-powered mic I have works fine with Quick Capture too. So I plan to purchase and duplicate your set up. No plans to update to the latest 2.60 as best I can tell everything is working great with the 1.57. Thanks
best gopro setup I've seen 👌👌
Awesome, thanks for posting. Just the info I needed!
this is perfect! exactly what i'm looking for. Thank you for making this video lol
Great help man !! Thk !!
Thank you - will be trying this soon!
Been using it for over the last 2 years.
What are you using in terms of protune settings for the Audio? I've found at times the audio is completely OUT after doing this set up - purchased everything and connected everything as per your instructions. But now occasional clips have ZERO audio at all.
Set the audio to Standard. Also DONT use one touch record. Depending on firmware it won’t work.
Going to make a vid about what settings to use soon since I’ve been getting a ton of questions.
Omg yes! That is when I’ve had problems-only using the one touch record! That’s it! Thank you!!
hi Kristina , this mic looks it's not working on my hero 6 ,please tell me what did you do? thanks...
mile perencevic I ended up not using quik-record and it works great now. Also turned off protune
Thanks very helpful . I make the exact layout and it works perfectly . Cheers
Great vlog, thanks for the advice...
Good stuff. I actually have been testing the audio on the hero 5 BLK and when the mics aren’t in a case it with a case with the mics not blocked it actually sounds a billion times better and usable. I like this solution with a smaller mic and keeping a smaller footprint versus using a mic that will double everything in size.
+Chris Sosa I might have a lemon, but outside the case (sample shown in the video) it is pretty unusable to my ear. I also have super old firmware so that may be a factor.
Path Less Pedaled gotcha. I’ve used it with bands playing and stuff and it’s been what I’ve been using in my videos.
I bought a gimbal thing and it has terrible noise from it. I am going to go with this setup and rock it like this. Thanks dude!
S.I.M.P.L.E. I love the minimalist setup here, thanks for sharing.
Really helpful. still in 2022 - I used the gopro for stuff I wanted to put to sound and have my Iphone 13 as the main cam for this reason!
Awesome review! Thank You!
Thanks for the tip!
Great idea. We recently got the GoPro hero 5 and would like to upgrade the sound for vlogs. Hopefully we can find the bits we need in South East Asia.
Great video. I have a hero 3 and the audio is really bad. I was looking for a mic for my camera and thanks for the link and the tips.
Very informative video... What happens if you want to use your go pro 5 for snorkelling? Does this whole setup come off? Thanks!
Thanks for all the information as I have been so dissatisfied with my GoPro 5 sound. I will be purchasing from your list. I wonder how this setup work while riding a motorcycle? Keep up the good work. DJ
good info, thanks
Thanks for the info
Thanks for the Video! One question though...I am using an action Gimbal for steady Videos... Is it possible to use an Action Gimbal with these Microphones and adapter attached? If yes, which one are you using or hat are your work arounds? Thanks in advance.
Awesome informative video!!! Thanks!
i have go pro hero 6 could use all the accesories your using
This is really good, I will try it on my next vlog .. kudos
Nice video! So, is this Seramonic mic better than 4Black mic, or as good as?
Thanks for the video and the parts list. I was able to find most things on Amazon.de, although the saramonic mic arrived non-functional and I’m working to exchange it.
I ordered to metal skeleton case you suggest and a cold foot adapter. Using electrical tape, I attached the GoPro mic adapter to the flat plate of the foot and I screw it into the hole for attaching the cold foot.
Love your shirt! Thanks for the help :)
Good job I would have liked you to have used it in a windy condition so I could hear how it handles wind
Check out our latest vid on the estrogen Etm-001 mic. Shows it used in various conditions.
Thanks for the video! Hate the sound on the newer GoPro when your using a gimbal. Will get the items recommended!
+Pedal Paradise be sure to check out our updated video. Made a lighter version of the rig!
Thank you for this. I ordered everything on your list.
+Dominique Garcia glad it was helpful!
Finally received the external casing and I just put it all together this morning. Thanks again.
and how it sounds man ? thanks
mile perencevic sooooooo much better.
I've finally ordered a mic adaptor and case & rode mic for my GoPro hero 5 😎
Awesome video! I was determining if I should get a new vloging camera in addition to my GoPro, but this completely solves my problem. Although, I was wondering how it sounds when you use it outside?
+Piece of Wanderland check out my latest Fall Bikefishing on the Clark Fork vid.
Got a quick question.
Currently using the Fieyutech G6 Gimbal a Hero 6, GoPro mic adapter and the edutige external mic.
In some recordings it’s great. Others there are clicking sounds, others there is a humming sound. Wondering if you ever ran into those problems. You think it’s the gimbal? The adapter is bad? The mic is bad?
My solution is to continue using the GoPro Hero 4 Silver, with the Edutige ETM 001 microphone, and the aluminum case. For the type of vlogging I do, it is all I need.
do you need to update the gopro software to be able to use the adapter? for hero 6.
thanks.
tnx for great video
I believed you and just ordered everything on your list for gopro 6 , will see :)
Nice going to give this a try
Hi, Just wondering what is the setting of the microphone (stereo mode, wind mode or automatic) in your video with the micro set up? Thanks.
Great solution to the Rode oversized kitten issue, I was close to giving it a haircut!
Will this setup work with a gimbal????? If so which ones???? Thanks!!!!
Life in a Bus was gonna ask that but I’m sure it will probably have to tweak the setup a bit more honestly
I think u didn't use side door in native GoPro audio
The native audio just sucks. I don’t know what you are asking.
i am asking did you remove the side door which covers the charging port and hdmi port did you remove that cover in native audio testing
No. But why would you have to do that to get decent audio? Also it still would suck compared to a directional mic.
Ive been vlogging with hero 5 and struggle a bit with wind noises might try this one as the rode mic option looks ridiculous
You should do a video on gopro hero 5 black with gimbal and something for wind noise fix. With and without external mic.
Thank you!
Thanks buddy!
Thanks nice hack. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! The fishing videos I make need better sound and this is just the ticket!
+Texas RX Angler great thing about this is you can point the mic up towards your mouth with a chesty while fishing.
Do you believe this setup could be possible for the Hero 5 Session as well?
Can I have the Amazon links for the accessories which fits this please
Great video! I kinda feel that GoPro should recall all of the garbage Hero 5 cameras and give us our money back!
Yeah. They dropped the balloon the audio dept with the 5 and 6 for sure.
then they charge £50 for an adaptor , utter madness I moved to a canon g7xii after taking two hero 6s back to curry’s UK
Awesome video! Will this work for the gopro hero 2018?
Yes. Making that vid soon.
Sweet! I just subscribed after watching your fly fishing video! I've only fly fished a few times but I definitely want to get more into it
hello from Brazil!
This Set up can avoid the noise, when i using the gimbal feiyu tech atached on the go pro h5?
Hmmm. It will be less than the on body mikes but might still pick up some noise.
Cool, the saramonic mice
Hi! Thanks for the solution. I bought the saramonic mic and it sounds great. However, I have this problem in which whenever the wifi connection on my gopro is on, the sound became weird. It has repeating click click click sounds. When I turn wifi connection off, everything become normal again.
That happens with every mic I’ve tried with the GoPro. Can’t use WiFi.
How is the mic with wind noise and vibrations? Does it stay in place? Does it have vibration and wind noise when you're mountain biking?
No probs with vibrations. Yes it stays in place. It does an admirable job in normal winds. For mountain biking it does OK depending on how close the mic is to your mouth. For best results you could run a lavalier from the adaptor to under a jersey.
That's not a bad idea. Thanks a lot for the advice! I'm hoping this would be a decent setup for snowboarding which is similar conditions to mountain biking.
Hello great video, personally my Hero 5 Black doesn't suffer as much as demonstrated here, but the situation I am lookjng to overcome is as so. Imagingme your cycling with friends, your voice pickup is fine, but the mic doesn't pick up friend's voices around you very well. Does your solution help in this situation? I've seen over vloggers recording such interactions perfectly well it would be great to be able to do the same.
The Edutige 001 has an Omni pattern so it does pick up well. Better than the stock mic. That said you always want to be within arms reach of whatever audio you want to pick up. You can watch any bike vid we do and I am super conscious of being close to the sound source.
Great, thanks. Is the allen key on the cold shoe supposed to be screwed down?
Yes. That is what keeps the
Zips in place.
Awesome vid. Did you ever get a chance to put this saramonic Mic against the rodemicro? If so what did you thing about the comparison of sounds?
The Rodemicro is a pretty clear winner in the audio department. But the Saramonis isn’t that bad in a vlog style vid with a bed of music. Diff become more noticeable in really quiet environments. The Rode has more bass and presence but it is also really big and dumb looking on a GoPro.
Path Less Pedaled that’s kind of what I had figured. I wanted to put a small microphone on my GoPro mounted on a gimbal and I tried the video micro but it was still too heavy for the gimbal. I was almost resorting to a lav and a cable. I hope this works best. I’m willing to give up semi quality audio for something that’s not as great just to have a portable set up because this microphone situation sucks thanks for your fast response
Path Less Pedaled super bummed. I ordered the Mic, i received it, plugged it in and it had a funny clicking noise upon playback. Almost like the convection dimensions are off. the voice sound is better than the gopros by a long shot. totally worth the price so I’m really hoping this works out. I’ve ordered a second one and crossing my fingers
Pretty kool video thnx
Great video thank so much
Would recommend our vid on the Edutige etm -001. Current fave mic for this setup.
Path Less Pedaled edutige etm 001?
Path Less Pedaled yes can u do that
Can I use this set up for the Xiaomi yi 4k?
Appreciate this video. Question: Does this mod affect the voice command feature? I'm using my H5 on my backpack strap for hiking videos and the voice command feature is great for my application..
Works with voice commands. That’s how I usually film.
Thanks, ordering parts today. Appreciate your information...
Also, check out our vid on the Edutige ETM-001. It has been our current fave mic.
One last question, I think :-) Since I'll be using the setup hiking, I'm wondering; Using the aluminum housing, is there enough room to leave the USB door on and lifted up when the mic adapter cable is plugged in? I ask because if I get caught out in the rain, I'd like to be able to quickly seal the camera and make do with the built in mic until the storm passes... Thanks for all your help and since you caught me before I placed my order, I've added the ETM-001 to my wish list...
Thanks, I have a GoPro hero 6. So I’m hoping not to have to buy another video camera. Let’s hope your workaround also works with the microphone on the GoPro 6. Thanks for posting this.
Yep. Works on the 6.
The aluminum case is fine on the hero 6 as well, right?
Yes. Exact same form factor.
my native mic doesnt sound that bad could it be from the wind blowing out the mic?
have you had any issues with the sound being delayed in your video playback? seems on go pro studio all is good but all other editors have issues for me, obviously not a fan of go pro studio :(
No prob with Final Cut.
This is the simpliest set up that ive seen
+Saufi check out our latest rig using Sugru!
Can you please tell me or send link for muffs used on siromonic mics
I saw in another video you got rid of the zip ties and used that epoxy glue stuff instead of zip ties. Would you recommend the epoxy instead? I want zero rattling with my sound!
Doesn't rattle with zip ties. I didn't use epoxy, I used Sugru which is a little different. More of a putty and won't get brittle in cold temps. th-cam.com/video/HSpwEW9rJ1U/w-d-xo.html
thank you for answer me! By the way... if i buy a better microphone, can i eliminate the total noise? Or only if i buy other gimbal... like Evo?
Do you think it's better change the go pro5 by the 4 silver? thanks!!!!
I think a less noisy gimbal would be the way to go.
