I have a 4K tv but most of what I want to show will be on things like FB, YouTube etc where most devices that use these are HD only. I always filmed in 1080p at various FPS as I have almost no use for anything higher. As with the other attempts, the video is superb. The sound in natural outdoors isn't too bad but if you are close to a busy road be prepared to spend some time editing the audio in post. It's small size and lightweight design makes it easy to walk around with and shoot things you are looking at, or use it on a selfie stick to record yourself while being mobile etc. Hand held: this is where the device actually has use. I'm fairness, I didn't spend long toying with this, maybe an hour of different settings. You can adjust the noise a bit in editing but from the attempts I tried my voice was very flat, lacking bass and basically made me sound like Kermit the frog. The roar of my cars engine and road noise (It's a Mazda cx-3, not exactly high on the DB counter!) Still beat my voice in clarity, and I had to tall quite loudly to be heard over it. The video is great but the sound still sucks. No voice, no engine, not even any wind.Ĭar: so in my car I used another attachment I purchased to put the camera on the passenger seat headrest, giving the viewer a passengers perspective. I tried is and a few other variations before I lost a total of nearly 12 hours worth of footage (over 5 attempts and several days) where I was talking about the areas I was riding through such as the peak district but all sound was removed from the video. There is a special method to getting it to record sound which involves something like turning the camera on with the external adapter plugged in but not the mic, then plug the mic in when you are ready to start recording, make sure the small screen on the camera is lit up, press record and you should get sound. However it's large size, small cable, and the fact it reduces all waterproof to 0 means it kinda sucks and feels like an after thought feature that no one in development was actually that interested in designing. This brick of a device enables you to connect a 3.5mm j ack microphone to the camera. ![]() So my alternative option was to buy the extremely expensive and terrible external mic adapter. You can wirelessly link to your phone for media playback, live view and cloud upload but that's it. I had initially intended to combat this by using a bluetooth microphone, however GoPro haven't included this feature. The microphone on the device (unsurprisingly) picks up little else other than wind noise. Motorbike: while attached to my helmet, using a bunch of extra pieces I had to buy in order to get it positioned properly, I came across my first issue. So I got one of these with the intention of using it on my motorbike helmet, in my car and hand held during various different types of events.
