GoPro Hero 7 Helmet Mic Setup for Motovlogging

[@aakashreddy7025]

I’ve traveled 2,400 kms in 5days in 3 states on my thunderbird.And U r my inspiration. With lots of love from AP❤️

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Congratulations. Ride safe!

[@KarlRock]

Thanks for the tips 🙏🏻

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Now your fancy helmet setup will happen soon. hahaha

[@saadesethisaab]

Didn't expected you here bro. By the way whats up

[@RadheShyam-sb1by]

Very well explained, simple & perfect video only recommend to use cable tie instead of rubber band for tying mic cable.

[@MotoSakto]

Hi! What is your audio settings for your go pro? Need some help here thank you so much!

[@VDiaries]

The gopro hero 5 black has issue with the external mic. Sometimes the audio gets captured and sometimes the audio just isn’t there. If you get this issue then just turn off the quick capture mode on the gopro from the settings and you will get audio on each attempt. Starting the camera after that change is a two step process because you now need to start the camera using mode button and then start capturing but you ultimately have audio for all your recordings.

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Quick capture is often problematic. I don;t use it

[@TheMatrrixx]

After watching your Tibet vlogs that's a trip I really want to do. The presentation made it look such a wonderful trip and so memorable.

[@raghu-vs3mi]

Velcro idea is awesome

[@TollFreeTraveller]

It works really well

[@JanAndersenBHMP]

Great and instructive video. Just what I needed. But I have a question - why do you prefer to have the camera in front mouth, your garden? It places your camera so low that the screen will take the free view of the camera, the ideal view. Do you see what I mean? On top of the helmet you will have a free view for the camera. Wouldn't that be better?

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Thanks, Jan. I see your point, but I find that placing the camera where I do allows the most realistic view for people watching - almost as if they are riding themselves. Placing it on top of the helmet changes that and also makes it more difficult to control, in my opinion.

[@visheshsharma428]

Thanks Rohith. God send vdo for me as I’m riding soon and was trying to figure this out. You might use a waterproof casing with adapter hole for dust proofing. Sponge/bubble wrap may be used for blocking the holes. Throwing ideas. Cheers.

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad to hear that. Yeah, need to figure something out for waterproofing that doesn't restrict ability to disconnect the cable easily

[@warrenwilson1489]

Very helpful! Always wanted to know how to go about setting this up in detail

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad you found this video useful., Warren. Good to have you here on the channel

[@tejindernegi8861]

Man your every vlog is worth the while. This is really helpful. Thanks a ton for the info (y)

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad to hear. Thank you

[@MYEDCPH]

Hello im your new subscriber in the Philippines.. of all motovloggers around the world, your the only one i find to be the most humble and low profile. Thank you for the cool videos. I am just new to motovlogging, and i have this challenge with the mic setup. My voice is too strong that the go pro cant handle loud voice.. even if i try speaking softly, im still having that voice peakimg the audio meter. Im using a boya lm20. And i tried placing all in different position. 😔 Thank you

[@TwoIndians]

thank you my man! we have a KZbin channel in the US about riding but I am starting to do the motovlog thing. My SHoei doesnt allow the mount on the front so I gotta figure something out. Appreciate it!

[@ollydogtravels9465]

just found your channel, loved the NC 500 you did, which we have done many times, on the mike connection how waterproof is it, guess what country iam from lol

[@Delhiocity]

For waterproofing, you could buy an extra side door for the gopro and make a hole in it. You could then line the hole's edges with hot glue to make a perfect seal with the mic connector?

[@TollFreeTraveller]

It needs to be removable as well because the mic jack is removed when the camera is used for anything else. That adds a level of complexity to the whole thing

[@Delhiocity]

@@TollFreeTraveller yes. You wouldn't stick it in the hole. The hote glue is just to create a seal between the side door and the connector cable everytime it is connected. You can always switch back to the original side door if the camera needs to be submerged under water

[@ClassicNadodi]

in 2020 i feel this idea is still a best one...... this setup is very minimal and easily detachable....even though we have ulanzi case now .. iam gonna use the TFT setup...

[@ravirajashekhar9541]

Informative video. Does it record any wind noise without the mic ? I could not differentiate by the slow traffic / short clip. Missed the Canarys audio track :-)

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Wind noise is drastically reduced when you place the mic inside a closed full-face helmet. You will notice the difference in the clip included in the video

[@karthickshiva2671]

Thala thanks for the video , untill i saw the road of adyar and marina thought u were somewhere from north as u communicated in english finally partha namma payan 😎😎😎 was searching the video for mic setup , this one is amazing thanks

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Hahaha. My pleasure

[@s.d.4351]

What is your opinion on unicorn bike.... Specially for touring purpose and highway ride quality...

[@runner771]

Thanks mate. Definitely going to try out this setup for my MotoVlog :)

[@WildlensbyAbrar]

Man you got the best audio and here I'm trying everyday doing different tests and getting crappy sound as soon as I go out of towns and hit 70km to 120km. Do you edit your audio in Post? Premier Pro etc. Appreciate it alot if you can reply to give me a few tips. Thank you!

[@BlueDevilMoto]

I also used Velcro to attach the mic adapter, but had issues with the Velcro peeling off when I pulled it off the helmet. What double-sided tape did you use?

[@Coal_over]

Thala oru Chennai meet-up vei thala 😁

[@VivinVlogs]

Thankyou for telling about the TRRS and TRS. Made my doubt clear😊🙏🏽

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad to hear that

[@doobyboy21]

Cheers from Canada ! Thank you very much for the info dude ! My math teacher was from India he was called Mr. Parihar ! :)

[@deepaknaidu8448]

Velcro was the Eureka moment fix for this... perfect 👍🏽

[@DodongWilsonTV]

this video is very helpful indeed my friend! thank you for sharing.

[@TraVlogs.]

Please answer... How to record voice in rain... Can we record audio on go pro in rain with external mic?

[@hangryride1175]

Bro I need help from u how did u stick chick mount to mt helmet because its curve I cant able to stick on it I have same helmet like urs make a video on it

[@anirudhcr]

A very informative video for upcoming motovloggers. Thanks!

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad to hear that

[@consumerproductsreview1791]

Very helpful bro, can you share the GoPro video settings that you use because your videos are very crystal clear, let us know if you colour corrections while editing

[@PistonJunkeez302]

Why do you need a rode adapter, can you not just use the mic and plug it in the mic adapter? What does the rode adapter do?

[@RevandRideReviews]

Nice and simple setup! Really liked it! :)

[@karsten-f5q]

Thank you for a great video. I have heard that if you just push the camera button and starts recording the audio will not be recorded unless you power it off and then power it on and push the record button. Is that true?

[@jayantsinha4302]

In amazon the adopter is available for hero 5 black will it be compatible for hero 7 black?

[@POBRENGGALAMOTOVLOG]

Thanks for the tips bro..from philipines🥰

[@shendyrizkyfanzela]

[@waju_the_traveller]

Sir please help. I want little help ! I have go pro 7, recently bought go pro adaptor with it ,but unfortunately mic doesn't supports my GoPro. I bought trs pin also but still it's Input-output showin N/A. What to do ?

[@shajum.k8316]

Bro lav mic link is not working .. could you please share link for me please . Your video is very informative.. I use a BOYA mic M1 with media mod but still there is lot of noise.. on go pro hero 9 it would be really helpful if you could share me the link to purchase the mic..

[@karsten-f5q]

Great tips. My setup is Gopro 7 Black and I have the adapter and a microphone of fair quality but the sound is really crappy here. Lot of scratching. What do I do wrong?

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Might be a loose connection in the wiring. That's usually the suspect when you have scratching

[@aravindmadhu4105]

thank u, bro, I was looking all the time for the best setup now I got one

[@adr2567]

Hi mate how’s your setup today? I’m looking for a nice affordable setup with a Hero 7.

[@TheMatrrixx]

very well explained. Pls do a vlog on the easiest way to edit vlogs incl the easiest software to use for novices.

[@technicalrtx3107]

BRo can we use external mic and charging at a same time in a gopro hero 7 by using this adapter or any other method???

[@malkitsingh01]

Rohith, what's the upgrade on this system??? Your new vlogs sound almost similar, what upgrades did you make to stand against rain with this mic setup?

[@Ganesh-ec2gp]

Any alternative low price adaptor for gopro..?

[@motoporn9055]

love the way you constrack your english..

[@ENTRAPPED]

thanks man. you solved my one of the concerns. I could have bought Media Mod for my Hero 9 but I went on with a Mic Adapter but the set-up was hard to figure-out. Velcro will solve my problems.

[@hayabusauk735]

Excellent video. Thank you. Did the go pro usb flap break off or is it removable?

[@RiderDada_07]

Yes please tell me also

[@rajatkumar-so5um]

Were u able to figure out water proofing the gopro?

[@TluckAtoZ]

Hello super awesome and well explained...love from nepal

[@rajsirigadha643]

Hi bro thankyou for you trips. I have one question after you remove the cap of the GoPro it is no more water proof right. Can we re attach the cap or are their any water proof covers available for GoPro to solve it. Beacuse I want to use it for both ways could you please reply .

[@TollFreeTraveller]

GoPro has not offered any solution to waterproof it after you open the cap. That's a big problem Need to use other materials like plastic or m-,seal to try and waterproof it

[@rajsirigadha643]

@@TollFreeTraveller thankyouuu so much bro for your reply. One last question if we buy water proof case for GoPro I know we can't use the mic on that but Atleast can we use it underwater . Does that helps.

[@kunwarshekharsingh]

I have a lot of wind noise when using a external mic. Any way to reduce it?

[@michael14919]

Hi brother I like your videos alot, very informative.. Im using a gopro7 + adapter.. And a Boya lavalier connected to the adapter but I can't get any sound at all. So do I need that extra wire that you mentioned just now? Thank you brother

[@parthpratimupadhyay9443]

I am facing the same problem.. did you find any solution? Please reply

[@gouthamdevagudi3931]

Hi did you applied M-Seal for 3M tape I also have same MT Blade helmet. Please let me know.

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

Its a nice and clean setup. Wonder why GoPro went to the hassle of needing a adapter while they could have made it easier for just plug and play, may be it was the USB C port. Question dont we get USB C lav microphones? I mean the ones that will work with newer GoPro cams?

[@TollFreeTraveller]

True, the earlier system was a lot easier. I've tried using direct USB-C connection, but the quality is a lot worse.

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

@@TollFreeTraveller that adapter is unnecessary hassle. But then atleast it doesn't require proprietary microphones. Anyways the quality of the audio is good.

[@ssmit_d_vorra]

does GoPro mic adapter works in rain, while riding?

[@brandencastillo79]

Ok so question how do you not get wind noise?

[@manuprasadr9263]

Bro I am planning in rainy time what to do for recording audio please help

[@kenlohr793]

Shorten the mic cable using solder and heat shrink tubing. Cut the individual wires staggered so the soldered joints don’t contact each other.

[@TollFreeTraveller]

That's beyond the things I know to do as of now. hahaha. Next step, maybe

[@BadMonkeyTouring]

Why don't you just use a TRS lav mic, instead of a TRRS stepping down to a TRS adapter?

[@DeepakSingh-fq5dd]

Good work man❤️

[@eyesofwheels8395]

Bro. Did you fix the base slot for j-mount by using m-seal?

[@TollFreeTraveller]

No M-seal on this setup

[@POBRENGGALAMOTOVLOG]

Its that compatible for go pro hero 7 siver?

[@dimedoutcomedy]

great information mate!

[@offweridetamil512]

Will Rode SC4 Trss to Trs adapter work in place of SC3, as the latter is currently unavailable in Amazon?

[@sandeepjain8729]

Hi!! Thank you for this video. I'm about to head to Sikkim in about 15 days and was losing my sleep over this set up. One question though. Do i have to have this converter plug in or can i directly connect the generic mic into the go pro audio adapter?

[@rider_sk_kannada]

Hi brother I bought this mic and it was working fine but I lost the foam wind protector however I have ordered one more now, thanks for this video because I was looking for this kind of mic...

[@chetan0801]

I tried the same set up and the same products as u showed in the video but my setup does not record my voice and even the background sound... It's just a zzzzzzz sound coming from the video recorded. I use the hero 5 black edition. Is there any camera settings to be changed for it.

[@BhanuPeddi]

It's a common glitch from GoPro.... Don't use one click record option when the camera is off.. make sure camera always turn on.. that's it..

[@paulsasianadventure8050]

Awesome video. Thank you

If I don't use the rode adapter what is the main problem ??

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Hey. I've not used the purple panda yet but a change of location of mic might help. I keep mine to side of my helmet a little above my nose. That way even the slight wind entering under the visor and my breathing don't affect audio. Worth a try?
