What GoPro setting did you find the most interesting? Want me to dive deeper into a camera related subject? Also, I *DO* know of one gimbal that'll work with the hero 7, but I'm sure you can't guess what it is. I'll cover that in another video. ;)

[@MTBZenMaster]

Great and exceedingly helpful. Thanks again. RIP to the Hero 7 you used for the autopsy 😂. Question: what sound level do you bring your audio down to while editing/rendering? -3, -4??

[@TrailFeatures]

If I'm using my pro gear? I record in -12, edit in -3. This video I edited in -6 and left out music because i didn't want people ears getting fatigued since the topic was all about sound quality.

[@reaverman]

Was going to say, my 7 and Karma work very well. Which is a huge leap, compared to my 5. Because I can hear the motors and button presses, whenever I used it. It was very annoying.

So thankful you're a member of the 9 year old army. Awesome video!

[@californiamotherlodeprospect]

Excellent video! I was so bummed when I purchased a gimbal for my session 5 and found out the noise issue first hand. I do a lot of hiking and its dead quite so you hear everything! I ended up doing separate audio with a sony digital audio recorder and the mic you use in this video, but it was a pain to turn on and off both constantly and editing was no fun at all having to sync every clip.. I just bought a hero7 and am adding an external mic and this tutorial really helped me understand the characteristics of the hero7 audio both with and without a external mic. They need to design a gimbal with a built in microphone that is isolated from the motor vibration some how.. Thanks again!

[@Kushagra]

VERY INFORMATIVE.. !! Loved it man

[@sean9820]

[@RAYGUNstudios]

Whoa, Lake Pueblo. No matter what mic, you can never mistake the sound of riding on shale..

[@blaphemer21]

This is a very good video. I went and bought the audio adapter and mic as well. I mainly use my GoPro for metal concerts. But with the mics I have used the audio is terrible and unusable. Sounds like cracking and popping the whole time. Just using the onboard mics sound ok I guess. But once you explained raw audio; i set it to high. And it opened up a whole new world. Thank you so much for this video

[@patrickfototirol]

great one. I have the 7 and not even thinking of switching soon. Thank you

[@TheLoamRanger]

Great vid! For a Hero7 + gimbal solution, what about recording in stereo raw and only keeping the left audio channel (the one on top of the camera). If the camera doesn’t throttle the gain over to the right hand side mic for whatever reason, you should be able to dump the right side audio track and be left with a decent sounding mono track with little to no motor noise, no? I think I’m gonna have to go try this today 🤔

[@TrailFeatures]

You can try that, but I'm pretty confident you're going to lose a lot of fidelity. You run the risk of the audio being pretty flat. There is a simple fix for this, and I've messaged EVO about it, so the ball is in their court now. 😉

[@bigjoedrummer]

@@TrailFeatures a new Gopro bracket with adjustable placement perhaps?

[@BCpov]

If using the evo, unfortunately, the mount/clamp from the gimbal covers that mic hole perfectly...

[@CooperSellers]

I do exactly this, and you can get a feel for what happens from my latest vids (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKSZo6Ntg7Vprw skip to halfway to get some footage without music overlay).

[@FatGuyBiking]

Yeah the gimbal noise is killing me its not just the evo that has the problem my ghetto gimbal does too a lot worst with a Dead cat on it too I didnt even think about killing the right channel though thanks for that.

Nice Video. It confirms what I was thinking about the sound on the GoPro Hero Black 7.

[@zdravo4]

Well thank you for this kind and understandeable explanation how it works and what kind of microphones does GoPro has. Few days ago I get GoPro 7 Black and I knew that on road (mine is hybrid, not electric) bike wind makes horrible noise, so I went in fabrics store and got 0,7 m square of some close to rurry looking fabric. Later I made a wind killer for my GoPro and actually it works very well. You can see it on my latest video I uploaded yesterday. Fabric price was about 4€

[@1pho3nixmatt]

[@JordanByron]

Really great stuff Joe. Super in depth and quality content as usual. I’m still not 100% sold on the audio of the Hero7, but boy does it make the Hero4 look old. Can’t wait to get your thoughts on the ideal gimbal design.

[@TrailFeatures]

I've actually been pestering the folks over at EVO, but they aren't returning my messages. 😞

[@JordanByron]

Trail Features I’ve got to imagine they are working on something for the Hero7 right? I mean this has been an issue since the Hero5 so they’ve had time to come up with a solution better than smash the audio to ignore gimbal noise like the Karma. I’m not saying it’s an easy problem, but it should be surmountable.

[@BigVanLittleAdventures]

Ive been using the evo and hero 4 myself... But I think with this new setup I would be willing to switch it up next time. Unless they come out with a waterproof/smash proof gimbal for a reasonable price.

[@ShutUpandRideMTB]

This is really great information Joesph, I actually bookmarked this for reference! Cheers!

I hope it helps a lot of people!

[@vlogeria1]

Thanks for the video. Really helpful. Have a good one!

[@driverkelly]

A great in-depth review. It convinces me that the improvements are still not really that great for a motorcycle without an external microphone. My current hero 5 black is not up to scratch and I would not outlay the asking price for the hero 7 without monumental audio improvements and I am now convinced they are not there yet.

[@DirtWireTV]

[@MattiRe_FIN]

Old video but priceless. Just got my Gopro H7 as a second camera together with my H8 and waiting for the gimbal to arrive. This saved me a lot of wasted effort to tune the sound. Now I know that I won't be getting any good sound from the gimbal-attached H7. Instead I need to rely the H8 and probably external mic & raw audio.

[@DailyMTBRider]

[@CobraKyle]

I don't even own a hero 7, but found this intriguing. I have a couple questions as I am thinking of going that route. With the windslayer did you experience any overheating? I'm guessing not as it looked chilly, but summer in Texas has me concerned. In the past I've run a lav mic into my phone to avoid buying the GoPro adapter, and synced the audio later. Have you had any luck with that type of setup? Appreciate this video! Should help a bunch of people.

[@TrailFeatures]

It's been way too cold to do any good heat tests. 🥶 The back screen isn't covered so hopefully that acts enough of a heatsink to cool the camera. I try to avoid syncing extra audio when I can, it becomes a pita for longer clips.

[@CobraKyle]

@@TrailFeatures I hope the Texas heat won't completely destroy this thing lol. The software I use has an automatic sync by audio feature and it's an absolute game changer! Saves me so much time when I use the lav. Hope to see you at Spider Mountain!

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Have you heard of an app called *MYK* ?? It basically turns your _phone_ into a _wireless mic_ for your _GoPro._ Then you could run a lav from your phone and get some killer audio with a gimbal.

[@condocord7544]

excellent

[@TheMatthooks]

Great info. Just invested in the mic adapter. Still silly expensive for something that older gopros did out of the box. Just a minute correction. The frequencies are not 1000kilohertz, they're 1khz or 1000htz. 1000khz, or 1mhz, is wayyyy outside of the human audible range. ;)

[@OutlawWoodworking]

Thanks,great video

[@anakakongmagsasaka]

Thanks for making this video

[@ciliatus]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Awesome informative video. You are the man. Greetings from Austria!

[@KrisYahner]

Thanks for this! Really great video with lots of good info. My experience with the hero 7 and a lav mic is that I and the trail noise sounded pretty good but the mic didn't pick up any of the conversation around me. Your mic seemed to do a better job of picking up conversation so I'd chalk my experience up to using a cheap lav mic. I'm still not sold on hyper smooth footage vs the gimbal so I think I'm going to be sticking to the evo SS and hero 4 setup for my main pov camera and try to use the hero 7 for other interesting but secondary shots.

[@TrailFeatures]

A good mic is worth the money. It may have been a directional mic as well, so that could have been another cause. The hyper smooth is the best application of digital stabilization I've seen in a while, but it's still not up to par with a good gimbal setup.

[@KrisYahner]

@@TrailFeatures I agree, Hypersmooth is amazing and makes totally watchable MTB POV footage. I just prefer the feel of gimbal footage.

[@jjr1314]

Great video. Can't wait to get my son out on the trails so he can start experimenting with his 7black!

[@TrailFeatures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChrisCXK]

Very interesting! I've been using the wind setting for audio. Its not great but I think I might try a windslayer and stereo. I'm not sure how its going to do in heat. I've noticed the Hero 7 Black gets hot even in the cooler months. Worst case, it overheats and I have to just take it off and have crappier audio haha.

[@TrailFeatures]

You could always cut away some of the front section. You just need to make sure the mics are well covered. But for sure, stop using that wind mic!

[@tristanm6392]

I have a go pro 7 and windslayer. The windslayer makes a big difference and audio sounds pretty good in stereo mode. It does over heat on a hot day, not much you can do about it. But the trick I do is have the Slayer in a cooling pack with ice in a bag to keep the Slayer cool for a while before I use it and it helps keep the go pro at a good temperature. It works. I wouldn't recommend cutting sections off the front of the wind Slayer, doing that will just allow more wind noise to squeeze through. It's best left the way as it is as a complete sleeve.

[@doyankuliner9806]

Interesting, i will try your setup. I turn on stereo on mics and high on raw setting, lets see how it's work.. btw thanks for the tips

[@BikesTrailsandGreenways]

Thanks Joseph, your videos are always helpful and educational, oh and entertaining! I'm still thinking the 7 Black its the way to go.

[@TheLoneTrader]

This video helped an awful lot. Thank you. Can you get a raw audio track for the external mic too?

[@BikingWIthPanda]

my guess about protune quality is that the internal encoder profile is just tuned for file size rather than raw data, as protune would be for better post processing / colour grading. it does this by storing a higher bitrate stream. thoughts?

[@aussiebicolanalifestyle]

Tks for sharing

[@TrailFeatures]

Glad you liked it!

[@CaptMaxADV]

Very informative. One question: Once I've set the camera to Protune On and enabled Stereo mode, if I disable Protune will it hold the Stereo audio setting? I think that's what you said, but theres no real way of knowing without doing some testing, which I'm hoping you've done. Thanks!

[@GaryMcCaffrey]

I assumed Protune has to stay on, surely if you turn protune off all setting you had set will go back to what it was before.

Newbie KZbinr here! Thank you for an excellent detailed review.👍🏾😁 I have shot a couple videos with my new hero 7 Black . And i was looking for the mic function and location info. So i have been using the wind setting and a windslayer. Useable but not good audio. Im also experimenting with the feiyutech wg2x. Unlike the Evo ss , the wg2x seems to be designed with the hero 5,6,7 model in mind. The evo ss was not designed with the newer gopro heroes in mind. So the Evo ss motor has to work extra hard and is, as you know noisey as heck. So evo created a "coin hack" counter balance that they sell to be placed on the side of one of the motors to balance the 5,6,7,👎🏽...i will see if i can schedule time to my review of the WG2X with the hero 7.. thanks again. - Sam

[@MTBZenMaster]

Link to Evo SS video about counter balance. Smh kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2bVgJKgqNZ4laM Maybe/ Hopefully Evo will make a more compatible gimbal BUT as you know . The stabilization on the 7 is daam good. -Sam

[@TrailFeatures]

Yeah, there is a lot more that needs to be done to the Evo SS to get it to work well with the Hero 5-7.

[@themiddleagemasher8108]

Alright from the kids table. I have the hero 7 black and I love the ease and setup as opposed to my old 4blk and EVO SS. I’ve never been concerned with audio quality but after watching this video it’s making me wonder.

[@directionbangkok6167]

You were recommending a windslayer (black foam cover) under protune stero only for the Hero 7 black, correct? I got a little confused if you were talking about the hero 4 or both at that point. Really nice video. After watching this I looked into how the "wind mic" works more and could not find much info. I take it when you use "stereo only" the wind mic is essentially getting turned off? Also really interesting how you can use stereo only, and if i understood correctly record raw sound to get information from all three mics as a form of backup when doing something perhaps more critical.

[@mtbboy1993]

I put furniture pads on the case covering the mics, which works, as long as you don't knock the pads off.

[@mhsvz6735]

Thank you.

[@cleverock1]

Thank you so much for this video and for what you do. Although it did not help me resolve my problem I still did learn quit a bit from the video, that’s you for that. I’m hoping you can help me with the problem I have? I have a GoPro 7 black. Want to do a motovlog, purchased a purple panda mic, and purchased the mic adapter. Not getting any audio when I use the mic, if I record without the mic no problem. Returned both the mic, and adapter even though they checked our during my checks. Still no audio? I do believe the problem is something simple, that’s why I got excited when I say your video, I thought ooh maybe it has something to do with the mic setting, or recording in raw. Well I was disappointed to find out neither was the problem. So if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Again thank you for what you do, I will from now on be a regular watcher of your videos, and yes I did subscribe.

[@thomasthetrailengine9474]

This was fantastic! Feel like you covered all the bases. Been looking to do something with the audio setup on my hero 7 because I just haven't been all that happy with it. I've used a windslayer but had considered getting the audio adapter and using a lav mic. Do you think that's worth the upgrade or do you see a bigger benefit in just really getting the audio edited properly in post production once you have the right protune settings? Thanks man, keep it up!

[@TrailFeatures]

Protune really takes a lot of work to get it dialed. I'd say that if you never plan on using a gimbal, the external mic is the way to go.

[@ihsanizwer]

Really great information! I'm thinking if I really need to purchase a mic or get the most of the gopro audio itself? What do you reckon?

[@TrailFeatures]

It comes down to if the audio sounds good enough to you out of the camera. If you can comfortably afford the adapter and mic, then it’s worth it. If not, get the most out of the GoPro while you save up.

[@Tkolbo_]

This is great! I really want to try out that sony mic and rode lav mic. I know you saw my purple panda one and I appreciate your tips regarding the raw audio. I'm excited to give that a shot and it should help me improve my audio further, but the ore I lsiten to the purple panda it just has this quality I'm not sure I am a fan of. Thus why I'd like to the try the others. However, I might just try the windslayer and raw audio with the internal and call it a day. I just need to get those mics first and see if those give me what I am looking for with the external audio quality.

[@TrailFeatures]

I was impressed with the windslayer + stereo mics. It's not perfect, but ~80-90% of what the Hero 4 was.

[@arch3lau5]

I feel silly for asking this, but to me GoPro settings and the way they are labeled confuse me. I watched another video that seemed to suggest using the wind mode is best for combatting wind noise while riding a motorcycle. This video made me rethink what the settings actually meant. To reduce wind noise while recording on a motorcycle do I actually want to select Stereo mode in the GoPro audio settings???

[@TrailFeatures]

The wind setting will indeed reduce wind noise. However, at a big sacrifice to overall audio quality. The best thing to do is use dead cats patches or foam to cover the microphones. This will let sound through, but greatly reduce the wind noise.

[@octaviodiokno4667]

nice

[@TrailFeatures]

Nice.

[@drdimento]

Thanks for this tutorial. Nice. So, what if I was using the Hero 7 in the rain and I don't want to get popping sounds in the top mic would the rain sound be ok with only the front wind mic? Or is there a better way to do it as in some cover or foam or the like?

[@TrailFeatures]

I would use the internal microphones with a foam wind slayer over the GoPro. This will give you good sound in the rain with minimal peaking due to raindrops hitting near the microphone.

[@drdimento]

@@TrailFeatures I see. My fear with the slayer was that with the slayer wrapped around the H7, it would get literally soaked like a sponge and definitely not pocketable.

[@TrailFeatures]

It's the lesser of evils at that point. Anything that will keep wind noise down will soak up water. You could throw it in a ziplock bag if you want to keep the water from soaking a pocket.

[@drdimento]

@@TrailFeatures gotcha. ima try it with turning to the front (wind) mic only and see if that does it and if not and worse comes to worse, I'll just record via an outdoor mic and the zoom h6. thanks for the input.

5:25 you were going to say "here 7 black set to auto on the micro phone setting" ?

[@TrailFeatures]

No, I set it to wind to show how bad that mic is. As mentioned, the H7B always favors that front mic for some silly reason.

[@derekholme6922]

Hi, some very informative info in your video regarding hero 7 Black audio, overall the audio is ok for me, the main issue I have right now is when I use the hero 7 on my motorcycle, I use the Ulanzi cage so I can mount the external mike adapter neatly and near the camera, my mike is Lavalier ,basic model, my sound quality id good until I start riding and I have a fair amount of what sounds like clicking which obviously is not good, connections are all sound and mike is good as used the set up on my Hero 4, would appreciate your input re this issue? Many thanks, Derek

[@TrailFeatures]

That could be a lot of things, very hard to troubleshoot without putting hands on it. It could be that vibrations are traveling up the cable to the lav mic. Some more affordable lav mics don’t have good vibration dampening built into the cable shield. That’s honestly the most I can think of. like I said really hard to troubleshoot that without seeing it in person.

[@raymondotoole6467]

'Toqued' is a perfectly acceptable verb in Canada.
