The best vid I have seen on the problem and fix. Nice work and thanks!
TripleSteve your welcome man. Hope this helps you.
This makes so much more sense. I just checked and indeed, the holes doesn't line-up with the mics. Thanks Scott!!
I was thinking of doing this before I saw your video..now for sure I'm doing it.. great vid
great video man.Well done.
Sounds like a basic deduction for more mic air space.
Well done.
Have just done it and hope for good results this coming weekend of motor sport
Huge help. Thanks!
Thanks will do this ASAP simple fix and no cost can not be any easier.
I found a skeleton housing online that exposes all the mic holes. Glad that I dont have to drill holes. Nice advice. Keep it up.
Great video!! An actual video that addresses the problem. Not like the others that talk about nonsense. Thank you!!!
DCarps Vlog thanks man. Hope it was helpful.
It absolutely was
thanks for the video
yes!! thank you!!!
Nice sir
I would tend to believe that the reason the audio ports are covered is to prevent dust and dirt from entering the holes. Just bought my GoPro yesterday and I will be doing the cut outs on the case. Thanks for the video!
Scotty, I use a Rode videomic on all my GoPros.Vlogger TheAdamblack has a good video on this modification.
Great video man once again.
Yeah I have a Vlog type set up I use with a Rode Video Micro. Works fantastic with an aluminum case that already has a hot shoe mount on it.
ill be doing it this weekend with my karma grip. I'll let you know.
519 Streets I've since bought a Karma grip and did a review on it too. I don't think it's necessary to drill the karma grip. The hole above the karma grip matches up with the mic. Also the opening on top where the shutter button is is big enough to where that mic is visible. The problem just happens when you take the door off.

I ran some experiments with my Hero 5 Black paired with a GoPro Karma Grip. The audio was muffled and had a slight humming and pulsating sound similar to a pool filter running in the background. I would not use this audio in videos when sound quality is important. I have a G6 gymbal coming and will test and compare its performance to the Karma both with and without an external mic. I did not have an external mic option for the Karma tests. I also ran some tests with the Hero 5 in the following conditions, 1) bare camera with door off 2) bare camera with door on 3) camera in its housing with door on and 4) camera in its housing, door on and attached to my 3-piece GoPro stick. Having the door removed from the camera had the greatest impact on sound quality (bad!). It was slightly less muffled versus attached to the Karma but had an annoying wind-like noise. This is unusual since I ran the experiment in a quiet basement. My guess is removing the door on the camera somehow messes with the internal logic used by the camera to modulate between the 3 different microphones. I had no distinguishable difference in audio quality with or without the housing attached to the camera. So for now I will not be drilling openings in the housing. In fact there are channels in the backside of the housing close to the mics which I assume the GoPro engineers designed to support the audio.
I know this is an older video but how does the noise cancellation settings work? Is it better to have it set to “windy” or normal?
The case isn't the issue for me. Its the wind noise.
damacknificent151 don't film on windy days
some people use the GoPro to film actual extreme sport footage or stuff that creates a lot of wind noise...you know, the actual purpose for the GoPro....the original reason why it was invented and got popular.
from all the videos i recorded today on mountain 2 of them didnt have sound... and i cnat find the problem... is my camera crushed or something is her broken? :s I HAVE GOPRO HERO 5 BLACK
My gopro records sounds in some clips but the next video i record wont have sound. All i have done is pressed stop and then press start again. I tried the two choices in the menu but it happens randomly.
Hi Scotty, I use the GoPro 5 for filming my family as well, when I use it in the case with the 3 way grip I get a lot of handling noises, just moving the camera slightly with the grip make noises.. It ruins the film. Does those holes solve that problem as well? Thanks a lot! Alexander
I get this too, did you get any solutions? im looking to buy the external mic adapter to resolve this. its simply awful.
same here, really annoying me atm, might drill the holes and see
i ended up paying the 50 bucks for the adapter and all problems are fixed. drilling the holes dont help, just get an external mic and the gopro adapter if you want professional consistent sound. good luck!
thanks
What about the go pro6?
what yours sounds like with the door off is what mine sounds like all the time. I just hold it I don't use the case much unless I'm doing a time lapse. I must have damaged it somehow....what a bummer
Yeah that sucks to hear. It shouldn’t sound that bad all the time.
Does drilling the holes stop it from being waterproof? Thanks!!
No. The Hero 5 is waterproof as is. It doesn't matter what you do to the housing.
ScottyGoesPro Thanks for the quick response dude!
Lawrence Jenner no problem
Scotty....you are a fucking legend!!! Thank you, exactly what i wanted to hear💪😝👍
lol...glad I could help
Thank You!! I used a pocket knife and used it to melt the plastic :)
Is it still water proof though
Fix crappy white noise. Can you fix the hissing noise in the back round?
Maybe in post production. Not sure how to fix it through the camera.
Wish you did a before and after cuts
Uncivilization yeah I know man. I didn't think about doing this video until after I made the cuts. I wish I would have done a before too.
I drilled mine today, hopefully will be better for me
Uncivilization let me know how it turned out.
wonder if there is a setting to turn off mics covered x the case ...🤔
+norman sage not that I'm aware of
Bruh. It's so easy. Just turn of wind reduction. Don't allow your go pro to change sound settings. Just keep it locked on stereo.
Sounds better to me in wind mode...picks up less scratchy and touchy noises.
Why there is hissing sound in the background of your gopro clip, even i am getting the same hissing / static sound. Is this normal?
Rohan Kadolkar yeah I guess that is the normal sound. The room I'm in is not the best for acoustics.
can i put a hole on it using soldering iron?
AJ Andrhoe I don't know. I've never used a soldering iron before. If it will cut through plastic then I would say yes.
will u do this on the karma grip?
Phillip Tran I actually just bought a grip yesterday and was planning on doing this. However, the holes on the grip harness line up like there suppose too. The opening on top where the record button is is large enough that it allows access to microphone just fine. The side microphone (opposite the battery door) lines up perfectly to the hole in the grip harness. So, no drilling necessary. .
Hi
So any idea how to improve the karma grip audio? In this case it seems that the only problem is the removed door.
Thanks.
Phillip Tran I am actually going to do a review on the grip sometime during the next week or two and talk about the audio. However, I do not think there is a way to improve the quality while attached to the grip. The grip brings more audio problems.
Got the GoPro Karma Grip review available. Check it out if your still curious about the audio issue. th-cam.com/video/N68fCfdK2iQ/w-d-xo.html
Why the F the audio changes without the door. I dont get it either. Cool solution BTW, I'll do it on mine
Yeah the door thing doesn't make any sense. Just one of those things I guess. We can't have it all.
Why is there still a hissing Sound ?
Hi can you tell me how you camera sounds with the holes when you touch the camera or the selfie stick does it make crazy noise thx.
emirjuka yeah it makes terrible sounds when you move your hand around on a grip, pole, or touch the camera. Every movement of your hand travels up the pole or handle into the GoPro. I've had to scratch many clips because of this.
ScottyGoesPro thx so one more reason to stick with my hero 4 thanks again.
Hey guys, I tried wrapping my grip with a gel tape for baseball bats I found at a sporting goods store (I'll put a link to the brand below). It's made a huge difference, there's still noise but it really helped. Right now I have a gopole grenade but when I wear that out I'll get the handler again from gopro and put it on that too. Hope this helps. Great video, can't wait to try this on mine too. Thanks! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0731XLK8X/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_1_w
Is it still water proof?
yes
My gopro not recording voice & other any sounds what I doo
The camera itself is not recording any sounds?
at 6:29 he sounds like Obama, I love it!
But you cannot put it in the water anymore, you will destroy the mics no?!
You can still put it in the water. I do it all the time. The Hero 5 is water proof without any type of housing. As long as both the doors are closed tight. Drilling the holes in the case is strictly to allow the microphones to capture more sound.
gopro.com/help/articles/Question_Answer/Are-HERO5-Cameras-Waterproof-Without-a-Housing
+Ugur Arcan yes they are but only to a certain depth. Not 100% what that depth is.
Site says: "waterproof down to 10m (33ft) without a housing".
the fucking problem for me its like cutting out and you cant hear shit, its like tststststststststs thats all you hear
damn gopro you f up.
You sound like Obama
+Dutch The Hooligan lol....what??!!
i wander why gopro would make a case for a waterproof camera that covers the mic? dumb
Doesn’t make since to me either.
You talk like Barack Obama.
Bla bla bla bla....get to the point!
