    Can't thank you enough for this video!! Just got back from Best Buy where I bought an $8 Sony ear bud set......and my noise crackling issues with my Hero10 are gone!!! I was about to buy an audio recorder after going through several mics, one of which was the purple panda. I was able to use the Panda adapter, and I'm good to go now!! You saved me at least $100, so I appreciate that very much!!

    mic placement is critical to sound quality. As is a chin curtain and the type/shape of helmet you wear.

    Thanks man! It does work. Just made myself 2 mics from two pairs of headphones (Samsung & HTC) simply cut the headphones off with the scissors 😂
    I guess the key to success is to simply have a mic that has very low sensitivity. My mic from Amazon was 64 db!!! That's overkill!!! So no wonder I had cracking on speeds higher than 80 km/h! For example Purple Panda is only 4 db!

    haha that's awesome, I'm going to try something simuler to see how it works, I'm always doing everything I can to get the best video and audio as possible.
    Purple Panda mics pop and crackle if any wind hits them. The best sounding mic I have used so far is a Shure MVL lav, But I'm currently running Rode mics because they pick up more rumble from my bike.
    After so many times with GoPro not recording sound (yes I have quick record turned off). I'm now using a 32 bit float Zoom recorder that I actually fit in my helmet.
    this seems to be a never ending journey.

    Awesome video man! And a pretty surprising solution! I use a Purple Panda as an actual lav mic on my shirt in my install videos, and recently tried it in my helmet and wasn't happy with it at all. It just sounded super muffled and flat compared to the Sony ECM-CS3 I've been using. I love how clear my Sony is, but I've been getting more and more popping and peaking over like 55mph, so I've been trying to find a solution. I'm thinking it may just be worn out after 2 years of abuse. Anyway, super thorough video! Great work dude!

    Im a bit confused on the difference between a 3.5 mm mic adapter and a mediamod. Is one better than the other or are they both the same in quality when a mic is attached?

    • @MotoMedicine904
      @MotoMedicine904  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      GoPro’s can only use an external microphone by utilizing the media mod or their older mic adapter for the Hero 5 and newer. Media mods are only available on Hero 8 and newer. In my opinion the media mod is less reliable. My Hero 8 would randomly stop recording sound or video when I had my media mod connected. The external mic adapter they sell was way better.
      *you absolutely cannot use just any old USB C to 3.5 mic adapter on a GoPro. Like I said their mic adapters are mandatory for an external mic.

    This video was extremely helpful, I’ve been using a PurplePanda with a pop filter AND a windmuff inside my helmet. I’ve been fighting the wind noise for as long as I can remember, especially at speed. Tried different locations, wind muffs, etc. I WAS using a homemade apple mic with my Galaxy S10 to record external audio, but I had a gain problem where it would cut out completely at high volumes (exhaust or wind). Turns out that seemed to be an issue with the phone itself so I might try the apple mic again! Appreciate it!

      You're most probably hearing 'clipping', which is what you get when you go over certain speeds and the wind noise gets too high. You can drop a de-esser on your project timeline during editing to remove some of that.
