GoPro Hero 7 Helmet Mic Setup for Motovlogging

Lav Mic - amzn.to/3lBOlIU
Rode Adapter - amzn.to/2VBvJIZ
GoPro Adapter - amzn.to/2Hg2uaU
GoPro Camera - amzn.to/2EPltat
Mount for GoPro - amzn.to/2EPb4LS
In this video I've explained the setup that I've used to install a lavalier mic in my helmet that is connected to my GoPro Hero 7 Black action camera. This system should enable any motovlogger to record anything that you may say while riding more clearly.
Few important features -
1. The adapter system is velcro mounted so that it can be easily removed and switched to another helmet.
2. The lavalier mic used is very basic and affordable and yet sound quality is quite good. So, it should be a more affordable way to set up your motovlogging helmet.
Let me know if you use this and it works well for you.

[@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.

[@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

[@raghu-vs3mi]

Velcro idea is awesome

[@TollFreeTraveller]

It works really well

[@VivinVlogs]

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

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad to hear that

[@karthickshiva2671]

[@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.

[@doobyboy21]

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

[@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

[@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...

[@shendyrizkyfanzela]

Long time ago i searched like this video, thank you from indonesia bro

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Thank you. Glad to know you found this video useful

[@anirudhcr]

A very informative video for upcoming motovloggers. Thanks!

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Glad to hear that

[@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

[@motoporn9055]

love the way you constrack your english..

[@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

[@POBRENGGALAMOTOVLOG]

Thanks for the tips bro..from philipines🥰

[@DodongWilsonTV]

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

[@deepaknaidu8448]

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

[@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!

[@runner771]

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

[@aravindmadhu4105]

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

[@keremen]

brief and well put together. thanks

[@Coal_over]

[@MotoSakto]

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

[@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

[@TluckAtoZ]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@RevandRideReviews]

Nice and simple setup! Really liked it! :)

[@paulsasianadventure8050]

Awesome video. Thank you

[@TheBritChief]

Very helpful, thank you for making this, it has helped me a lot.

[@TraVlogs.]

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

[@dongrigamer3544]

Bhai tu kamal hai bhai

[@suryareddy60]

TFT.. My Favorite!!😍

[@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!

[@TheMatrrixx]

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

[@aaryanshaikh3545]

[@iRidetas]

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Hahaha. Glad to hear that

[@speedtune9605]

Nicely explained

[@TollFreeTraveller]

🙏🙏

[@kesanapavan7223]

i loved it u explained very well

[@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

[@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

[@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...

[@DeepakSingh-fq5dd]

Good work man❤️

[@dimedoutcomedy]

Hello Rohit ...lots of love from Bangalore.

[@hayabusauk735]

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

[@GPSBABA]

try blu tack from amazon its a reusable mseal you can remove and again use it its amazing plus waterproof

[@MrNadodi1996]

Thanks man 😘

[@BadMonkeyTouring]

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

[@dbharrold]

thanks for the information

[@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?

[@adr2567]

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

[@JP1970]

I like everything but the mic adapter on the side of the helmet. I avoided that with a housing frame that holds the adapter. I have the video on my channel. Good job overall, buddy! Liked and subbed!

[@shibashisadhikari7361]

Nice sound but how it will be waterproofing?

[@Nsssera]

Thanks a lot.. really helpful

[@teamkimmototv2963]

i wish i have this kind of action camera :)

[@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

[@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..

[@Dude_Virus]

Gopro should make waterproof cases like sjcam where you can have the cable connected and they are still waterproof.

[@lucaspereira3321]

Thanks man

[@yashaswichoudhary1896]

Great keep going 😍

[@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..?

[@deepakradhakrishna9592]

Strell Moto logger from bengaluru has best mic setup

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

I have seen some of his old videos and I found that his voices echoes while he speaks. P.S. I havent really watched his very recent videos, so that issue might have been fixed.

[@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?

[@shivusb8961]

Good idea

[@karstenlund8956]

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?

[@amacvlogs]

Nice setup !!!! mic link not working bro!!
