How To Connect A Microphone To GoPro Hero 11 Black

In this video, we are taking a look at how to connect a microphone to your GoPro Hero 11 Black. There are 2 different methods of connecting a microphone and in this video, we take a look at both. One method is to use the Media Mod and the other method is to use the GoPro microphone adapter. If you will be using the GoPro Hero 11 Black for vlogging it is important to use an external mic to get nice audio. We also take a look at some popular microphone options that work well with your GoPro Hero 11 Black.

Good setup guide for using the DJI Mic with the Hero 11. They work well together and you can get much better audio with this setup. Great video, and thanks for sharing Shawn.

Thanks, I just spent 99.00 for the media mod and a wired microphone as I can't afford and don't need wireless, however I didn't know I needed any of it until I watched your video. No telling how much you have cost me in the past 3 years... 😳 😆 But thanks for all the information and helping me make good decisions!

[@DeltadronesBr]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@nomaad000]

Unbelievable how you still need a mic adapter in this day and age.

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

It's because Gopro wants you to buy an adapter to make more money but not even provide a proper way to mount it. All they need to do is move the mic input to the other side and have another waterproof door.

[@Paulie44]

Doesn’t matter if they provide a microphone input on the camera, the unreliable GoPro will select whichever external microphone it feels will wreck your footage and waste the most time.

[@PaoloD2R2]

what's unbeliveable is that ppl are still giving money to this company, and all this company does is milking the cow. f*** them.

[@DURTYMAXLML]

Cool!

[@PlatisTobbe]

Good video on the subject. I look forward to when/if you address the topic of GoPro10 with MediaMod not turning on or off. Where the solution is to pull out and put back the battery. It's not fun when you have to take everything apart to do it. Also the problem with Volta and MediaMod together. Where the stiff cable on the Volta causes the connector into the MediaMod to have an unnatural twist and the connector is also in a vulnerable position for external influences.

Hello, Sean. How strong the DJI mic holds in Go pro media mod? Will it survive shaking?

[@AirPhotography]

Indeed, it is actually a very tight fit. You have to put a fair amount of pressure to even get them in. I don’t think you’ll have any issues with them vibrating loose.

Im running into issues when connecting an external adapter to the go pro and it not showing up under "media mods". A quick google search shows others are having this issue. I have a Saramonic Blink 500. Currently updating Go Pro firmware to see if that works. Update. Firmware V 2.12 Did not

[@handyhistorian]

[@jacobkarkula4741]

I tried hooking up a movo vxr10 to media mod. All I get is static. I tried hooking up another mic and the same thing until I signaled power to the mic. I reached out to GoPro an 2 months later with support and a new media mod, no solution. Any help?

[@jesusinzen]

And most easy way to record good sound from your setup is to record sound only with DJI transmitter-mic (they both have 8gb memory inside) and after in post production synchronize it very easy. And you don’t need to connect some cables and use these plastic boxes which takes so much time to connect and looks weird. Just don’t forget to press button on the mic and check red light indicator to be shure recording is going on! That’s how I use GoPro 11 and DJI Mic together. Super easy, fast and I even have 2 ways of sound - 1st from DJI Mic, 2nd from GoPro camera for spare 👌

[@lifeofjustinjames]

ISSUE: I just got my Go Pro 11 today, plugged in the mic adapter and microphone and my Go Pro 11 isn't recognizing it? So when I go to Settings>Media Mod, it just says N/A. Plugged the mic adapter into my old Go Pro 5 and it works perfectly fine. Are you or anyone else having this issue? I essentially have the same setup as in the video and can't click into mic settings like in 4:37

Do you think that wireless mic would work well in a motorcycle helmet?

[@shaneksmith1957]

Also I don't see the wireless microphone on the Gopro page. Would you aim me in the right direction?

[@AirPhotography]

I’m not sure I have never tried that, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Depending on how much air flow is in the helmet you still may have to use the wind muff on the transmitter

I bought the gopro 11, media mod, rode mic, and DJI dual mic from this video. I had to hunt down the rode because the link was dead. What do you recommend for lighting that would mount on the cold shoe?

I tried with two adaptor, also firmware updated, still external mic is not getting connection, Preferences- mod- only visible with media mod.. I want it also with adaptor.. but not getting success

[@garageworker]

I'd recommend going with the Ulanzi. You have to fully break down the media mod to remove the battery. Great review as always.

[@nomaad000]

I have the ulanzi as well, it's great, however you can't use filters on the gopro they won't fit

[@rafiquzzamanrauf8365]

Using ulanzi is expensive because you have use another mic adaptor

[@davva360]

I agree the media mod is crap. It makes changing the battery a complete pain in the butt. I have the media mod but never use it. Yes the Ulanzi is bigger and yes you need the mic adapter but you can change the battery without removing the cage, you can charge without removing the cage, its so much better than the media mod.

[@throttleguys]

The cost of the GoPro adapter is a lot, but that’s only the start of it. It’s the size that makes a difference too I don’t want a heavy cable to get a mic, nor a media mod. Even though I have both the adapter and media mod I still don’t have a perfect solution.

[@worldbeatxxx]

But how to do you connect a headphone to hear the sound. A visual meter is fine but miss the sounds of birds or airplanes that you may force you to do a re-take for an interview. I can't find anybody that talks about any kind of headphone.

[@DashingGrandpa]

I have the 11 with the media mod. However the steps you go through for setting up an external mic is not the same as I am seeing. I go to preferences/mods, I see Max Lens Mod and Media Mod. On Media Mod there is nothing selectable...it's shows "standard mic" but is grayed out. I can go in to the Video settings on the main screen and select which video setting (Activity). From there I can scroll down to the audio section...from there I can select Media Mod. From there you have 3 options, front, rear and camera mic. But in the preferences you show, there is nothing selectable so I can't get an external mic to work. Any suggestions?

[@JENNIFamily]

any update

[@THE2WEELCULTURE]

I’m having the same issue…. Did you figure it out?

[@DashingGrandpa]

@THE 2WHEEL CULTURE I thought I had replied to Austin's comment but apparently not. Anyway I ended up using a different cord to hook up my wireless mics. The mics I have came with two cords, you may need to use one with the two black rings on both ends.

[@THE2WEELCULTURE]

@@DashingGrandpa yeah, that didn’t work for me. From my understanding it should show in the mod section just based on the adapter being plugged in.

[@DashingGrandpa]

@@THE2WEELCULTURE I was just looking on my wireless mic receiver cord and it is a TRS type plug. When I looked at my standard lavalier mic, it is a TRRS type plug. If I plug the lavalier mic in the mod, it will not switch to that mic, it stays on the mod mic choices...front, rear or the camera's built in mic. However when I plug in the TRS wireless mic receiver, it automatically switches to the wireless mic. So if just plug a standard TRRS mic in to the mic plug on the media mod, it will grey out but that mic will not be active. I have not tried it but if you want to plug a standard mic in to the media mod, you may want to try a TRRS to TRS adapter. I hope this has helped at least a little.

Reasoning behind that? Is there a setting i’m missing? Appreciate your time and help.

The medium is the same for all three versions, 9, 10 and 11. It is the exact same model. Most likely if you’re searching just the labeling hasn’t been updated on it because the 11 did not exist yet. But one labeled for hero 9 or 10 will work perfectly with your 11.

Curious if anybody else is having this problem? I purchased a Hero11 2 weeks ago along with the Pro 3.5mm mic adapter, the mic adapter showed as "N/A" in the "Mods" menu. I spent 2 days with support trying to sort it out and was instructed to exchange the Hero11. I exchanged the camera for a new one and the same problem persisted. I spent another day with support and they sent me a new 3.5mm mic adapter. Still "N/A" in the "Mods" menu. I have done all the resets, and firmware updates. Nothing. Both mic adapters work perfectly with my Hero7. At this point, I am pretty furious. I don't want to jump ship, but the Action 3 is looking really good right now.

Double check to make sure you’re using the right type of cable. There are TRS, and TRRS cables. With road cables you don’t wanna use one that has a gray end. That is for smart phones, and will not work with a Gopro. Other than that, I’m not sure what else to suggest.

[@Paulie44]

GoPro’s are too unreliable with their microphone inputs, and if you want any half decent audio (and take the guess work out of which audio input/microphone the GoPro will randomly select) I’d steer clear of GoPro cameras. I had the GoPro 10 with media mod and the microphone would rarely work because the GoPro would select any external microphone (sometimes front, sometimes back) except the microphone input I selected. After much back and forth discussion with 2 different GoPro representatives regarding the problem and providing evidence (I used the recommended Røde lapel microphone and ensured it was the correct jack), I sent the GoPro camera back and was sent a replacement several weeks later, but because the GoPro was so unreliable in maintaining the correct audio input, I can no longer be bothered using it as I don’t care to waste my time or footage. This is coming from a long time user having had the GoPro 7, 8, 9 and 10 and I’ve personally found they’ve have become more and more unreliable at each new release (as they rush to release a new model instead of fixing the problems with their existing models), to the point where you don’t know what you’re going to get until after you’ve filmed (expect plenty wasted footage with crackling or inaudible audio). In contrast I have a Insta360 One X2 which I use for snowboarding and it works perfectly every time.

[@davidplant6805]

After researching all of these cameras with stabilizers I decided to forgo finding a stabilizer camera and just duct tape my $50 Moto g Pure to my forehead and save hundreds of dollars.

[@icevariable9600]

I don't get it. At 30 seconds in you say "you do need to use gopro products to make a microphone work". And at 40 seconds you say "Amazon products won't work, you have to use the gopro brand." Then at 2:07 you say, "This is the Rode video micro, it works really well because it's not overly big."

[@AirPhotography]

I’m referring to a Microphone adapter, not the microphone itself. In order to use a microphone with a GoPro you have to use the GoPro branded microphone adapter for the Gopro Media mod. No other microphone adapter from other brands will work. However, once you have that you can use any microphone you choose.
