Microphone perfection
1 of 1 found this helpful I record fishing videos for YouTube regularly, and I had been using the built in microphones for a long time. I noticed when I started filming tournament videos, that my sound quality was actually really bad, and I could not hear my partner in any of my videos. I found this microphone was being used by lots of big fishing YouTubers, and decided I would try it out. The sound quality on this mic is perfect, I even set it down recording, walked 20 ft away and the mic still picked up my voice beautifully. The only downside with this mic is the 9ft cord, as it can get in the way, especially if you're like me and using a head mount GoPro. I found if you simply run the cord down the back of your shirt, clip the on/off switch to your pants pocket, and then run the mic back up the front of your shirt, through the neck hole, and clip it to the front of your shirt, you get good sound quality and the cord stays out of the way.

Its so Tiny! Yet so Sensitive!
I purchased the gm300, which has its own battery, but the battery died and i had hours of video with no sound. I bought this mic because it uses the cameras battery and was surprised at how little the microphone drains the GoPro power. I noticed very little difference in battery life, and also the 47" cord can easily be wrapped up to pinned out of the way if you are like me and filming with a head mount, and dont want a cord running down your shirt.
Be careful though, the cable and connections dont feel very strong, so try to be gentle with it. Other than that, this mic has AMAZING sound quality. Get the Movo dead cat windscreen and put it over the top of the foam screen provided and you have a perfect audio to go with great GoPro video.
