Iv'e seen other video of similar nature. But they were complicated and used "other" attachments which, seeing your version, are actually unnecessary. Your set-up is easier, less complicated and far more practical. Thank you for sharing.
@@OldGuyCarnivore everyone else has you buying this or doing that. When i do mine. I will link it to your channel if thats ok to show people and give you credit for the rig...
@@OldGuyCarnivore as a new youtuber also. I am just starting my vlogs. I am a part time artist. So it helps to help other youtubers out. I just hope some return the favors one day. You know. Feel free to check out my videos as well.
Love when you showed how it's done from behind the scenes. That's so helpful for guys like me who never done stuff like this before! 👍👍 Thanks Mitch for sharing. I really enjoyed it! Full watch!
@@jamalpeoples3736 Jamal, my friend, when I made this video the Ulanzi V2 case didn't exist!. When it came out I ordered one, waited 6 weeks for it to ship, and did an updated vlog rig video recommending it. It costs about $16 on Amazon. Let me know where you buy them for $10 please.
Awesome! That's the best mic setup for vlogging, etc. on the GoPro that I've seen so far on TH-cam. I can see that it eliminates any stress on the usb-c port and the audio adapter wire. Plus it gets the mic up top where it's easy to turn in any direction. Cool. I subbed.
Great video, Mitch. One of these days I start using a wireless mic again. You explained this to make it seem easy to do. I am going to use my GoPro7 more. Fly safe.
Well that's an ancient video you found from back when my channel was about drones. It's nice to know that some of these old videos still get some views. I don't do that kind of stuff on TH-cam anymore and have been specialized in diet and health for the past year. Thanks for commenting.
This is indeed a neat setup you figured out. I wonder however if recording on an external device like a Zoom H1n would be easier? Use the audio from gopro to sync and then mute that. A zoom have external mic input and headphones jacks also. Just my 2 cents
Thanks for the comment. I have a Zoom h6 and on occasion do just that, however it is much more convenient to have a decent audio track with the video, much easier to cut up in editing. I use the h6 mostly for background audio for aerial footage.
Thank you, easy to follow every step. Im waiting for the metal case now, order it a few days ago but I wanted to see how the final rig would look like. Greetings from Maria in Sweden.
Great video Mitch. I've recently been using the Osmo Action with a shotgun mic mounted to it in a very similar way to what you are doing here. My biggest complaint about the GoPro mic adapter is the size! The one for the Osmo Action is much smaller and fits tighter to the camera so it's more ergonomic IMHO. But either way, action cameras are great for what we do! Take care!
Thanks Kelly, this video is very old and we have come a long way in the past 2 years.... lol. I made an update to this showing the Ulanizi case with the adapter slot built in. That's what I use now.
Oh I wish Ived seen this before, my set up is pretty neat too but this is far better and simple ... I’ll definitely will do this... thank you so much ... 🙏🏻😃
Excellent! Thank you very much for this, as I have just bought my very first GoPro (Hero 7 Black) and need an external mic, as I film outdoors in sometimes, very windy conditions. I am going to use the exact same setup as you described, only problem, in the UK is the adapter is also out of stop with a 1 - 3 months waiting time. Either way, thanks for the video and the tips, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
Yes you can order from anyone you wish. These affiliate links from amazon just give me a small fee without raising the price for the customer. Helps me support my channel...thanks for asking
I ve seen a lot of GoPro Vloging rig setups on TH-cam, but this one is simple and intuitive . I will try to build it my self. Thank you for this idea 💡!
Thanks for this. I recently bought the Removu K1 4k camera/gimbal combo (similar to the osmo pocket) but it is having major technical issues so have been contemplating returning it for the Hero 7. Just wish there was a way to see yourself while vlogging with the GoPro
Very nice! Good instructional video. Some boo, boos, but overall very good, good info and fun.

Thanks a lot for this fantastic tutorial! I'd like to ask you a question: do you think that the Saramonic mic will work well in a mountain bike video? I don't know whether the wind would affect it too much, and if it would be capable of capturing the sound around me (not just my voice). Thanks a lot! LIKE!!!
To be honest, I don't use superview for vlogging and I never tried it in this case. Nor have I tried a variable nd filter in this cage, only uv filter that came with the cage. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
My cage, thumb screws and Saramonic mic are in transit from Amazon Australia. The GoPro mic adapter is proving hard to find here, no one has any stock. Have placed an order with my usual camera store, just have to wait. Unfortunately Amazon USA doesn’t ship these to Australia.
Very, very helpful. I'm new to making my own videos, and what to buy, the choices, options, new items available, obsolete items no longer available, 1080, 4k, filters and so on...it can all be intimidating. I want something I can use for all around, one size fits all. I'm not trying to win any "Good House Keeping Seal of Approval Award " and what you showed me here will do what I want done. Thanks so much. I'm subbed!
Thanks very much for the vlog rig video, very simple and neat setup. My Hero 7 Black should be here in a couple of days and will see how the audio sounds for my needs, if it isn’t satisfactory will definitely build up the same rig. Pity we have to use the GoPro “ brick” but from what I have seen there is no way around it. Also thanks for showing your setup to record this type of video, very informative.
Thanks Peter. I am generally happy with the GoPro audio and use it when I want to travel light. The external mike is a little better though and having the external adapter also allows me to plug in a wireless mike as well.
Thank you for this video I'm following you from Morocco I hope you explain to us problems go pro hero 7 white And Features Because I want to buy them and I hesitate
Thanks for watching. I don't think I would buy anything but the "black". It is more expensive but the stabilization is amazing and that is the most important thing to me. That us my opinion but I have never used the white, only seen reviews of it.
The usb plug from the mic adapter will keep the camera in the case if it gets loose but there is a new case from Ulanzi that I use now. I made a video on it last month
Thank you for posting the excellent tutorial video! I really love your simple setup and want to replicate it for my hiking videos. Do you know if there are dead cats available for the Saramonic SR-XM1 mic?
I'm seriously considering the Hero7 Black - I bought a 4K Action camera knockoff, and it's not too bad - but that hypersmooth stabilization on the 7 Black looks amazing!
@@OldGuyCarnivore I sure will! I didn't order a light, but I did order my cage in red. Snazzy! I also have a red gel skin for my Canon 80D. It's my Ontario Drone Imaging color scheme :)
Hi, I've seen quite a number of gopro vlog rig videos and I think yours is the cleanest and simplest! I'm wondering though...on the top of the cage there appear to be two 1/4-20 holes. You chose to put the thumbscrew in the hole nearest the edge, rather than the most central hole. It seems like the adapter would be more stable if the thumbscrew was more in the center of the cage, so I'm wondering if you've tried that or if there's a reason you chose the hole closest to the edge. Thanks for any input!
I don't think it makes any difference but the way I do it keeps the mic as far from the lens as possible. That matters if you use a dead cat (windscreen) which can show in the really wide angle view if it is in the field if view.
I was thinking about the same thing. Use middle hole and put the screw with velcro at middle of gopro mic adapter. So the adapter is more secure and balanced and mic is basically at the same place as you have it now.
I have both and of course the rode is better, but It is much bigger and can get in the shot if you have it mounted close to the camera. The Saramonic is not a bad mic for vlogging and the small size and mounting is why I use it in those situations.
It looks like the Thumb Screw is too big, it will block the slide up door. Do you have any recommendations for smaller size for screw that still work with this method??? i like to keep the sliding door more than the nod to tight the camera on the side. Thank you so much 👍👍 BTW, i watched a lots of VDO with this setup. I like your simplification the most. Thanksss
i am hoping to get a gopro 7 in the future to replace my very old (but still kicking hard) hero4 silver.. and this set up of yours will surely help me in the future,, thanks.. and by the way,, i’ve just sub🙂..more power!

Thank you Gary
Cage and thumb stud are in!
Let me see the finished product
I loved the video, what settings do you use for your Hero 7 for blogging?
I use 2.7K, 60fps, linear mode, stabilized.
Thanks for this. I recently bought the Removu K1 4k camera/gimbal combo (similar to the osmo pocket) but it is having major technical issues so have been contemplating returning it for the Hero 7. Just wish there was a way to see yourself while vlogging with the GoPro
You don't have to worry about framing yourself. I shoot in 2.7K linear mode and as long as you know it is pointed at you, it is usually right on.
Great solution. Unfortunately the gopro mic adapter is out of stock here in the UK 😬
@Tutorial Vids thanks for that.
Mitch that was great ! I’d would love to get a GoPro Hero 7 and set it up just like you did.
I should have titled the video "butterfingers".....lol
This is a very similar setup that I use. Great video!
Thanks, since I made this video a new case came out that has a slot for the audio adapter. I made a follow up video using the new Ulanzi case.
Got the microphone last night. Decent sound.
Thanks for this, great video and content!! Keep it up!

If you put a windscreen (dead cat) on the mic it probably would work ok.
I think any small dead cat made for lab mics should fit
Thanks for your video ! Is there any vignetting with these filters in superview ? And Nd variable filter works well ?
To be honest, I don't use superview for vlogging and I never tried it in this case. Nor have I tried a variable nd filter in this cage, only uv filter that came with the cage. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Hi!! Good vid, I have a question, the back part of the it’s safe for not drop the gopro? Because only have a security trab and no more...
The usb plug from the mic adapter will keep the camera in the case if it gets loose but there is a new case from Ulanzi that I use now. I made a video on it last month

Thank you for posting the excellent tutorial video! I really love your simple setup and want to replicate it for my hiking videos. Do you know if there are dead cats available for the Saramonic SR-XM1 mic?
Yes, they make dead cats for lav mikes which will fit. The foam on the Saramonic is remivable and then the dead cat I use on my lav mic does fit.
@@OldGuyCarnivore Great, I will look into them! Thanks for the reply!
"need three hand for this"
Holding the cam
Holding the tripod
Holding the attachment
Hahaha iloveyou
Nice setup!
is the 1/4 20 mount necessary? just velcro the adaptor on top of the cage?
I'll give that a try, but the cable is very stiff and I wanted it to not stress the usb connector
Nice set up
Thank you
Is there a cheaper adapter for the GoPro 7
I don't know of one that works.
I'm seriously considering the Hero7 Black - I bought a 4K Action camera knockoff, and it's not too bad - but that hypersmooth stabilization on the 7 Black looks amazing!
I bought the osmo pocket but returned it and got the gopro instead. No regrets.
@@OldGuyCarnivore I got the camera today at Best Buy and ordered the rest of the parts. This should be so much lighter than my Canon 80D rig.

Just something else to carry and one more thing to deal with when editing. On occasion I do use a zoom h6.

Does this setup method work with the cage that have the slide door at the back??
Yes, as long ast the camera fits it will work. I like the open back cage better. Easier to get the camera in and out

Thank you so much 👍👍
BTW, i watched a lots of VDO with this setup. I like your simplification the most. Thanksss
I don't have the door but the large thumbscrew gives a good mounting area for the Mic.
Do you mind to help me find the small screw that may work with this??
I looked on Amazon. Just search for "1/4 20 Thumbscrew" and you will have a large selection.

Genius
Ur so smart!
🤙
i bought my mike adapter on ebay
There's a better case now
Check out my follow up video on the Ulanzi cage.
Winnnnnnn
the gopro mic adaptor cost more then what u paid for. the mic cost from $100.
Thanks for your comment. I made this video 6 monhs ago and it is possible that prices have changed since then.
You spent some moola on all that haha. Im guilty of it too.
That is not a clean fit. Ulanzi have made a case that can fit adapter just below the Go pro and mount mic on top. It has much cleaner setup than this
Yes, I made a video about the Ulanzi case when it came out. This video is older
Hell no that adapter like 200$
Adorama Camera has it in stock for $49.95.

Bloody adapter is 120$ !!! WTF GoPro
It is absurd. Search Google. I've seen them for less than $50 from a few vendors
Don't like your idea
That's OK. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks for watching anyway my friend.
