In our opinion, this is the best GoPro microphone available today. It has a great mix of qualities, with the most important one being the excellent sound quality. It features a medium level of sensitivity and a wide frequency response range.

Along with the great sound, the overall build quality here is fantastic with its durable aluminum body. Despite that solid body, it only weighs 1.8oz, so it is relatively light. All of that is backed up by a 1-year warranty. As with most of these models, it connects via a 3.5mm jack, so an adapter would be required.

What makes it stand out? We were impressed with the overall quality of this microphone. It’s excellent at picking up clear sound in front of the device, and it looks great, too. Additionally, the accessories are handy.

Which disadvantages must you keep in mind? We loved almost everything about this microphone, but the quality of the shock mount didn’t quite live up to everything else. It’s still useful, but you do have reservations about its long-term durability.

This is a simple but highly effective solution. It’s a great GoPro Hero 3 microphone but can also work with most GoPros if you have the right adapter. Next, it’s omnidirectional, so it receives sound from all around.
