Microphone Test 5 GoPro HD Hero 2 with a Cheap Flexible PC Microphone

I tested the GoPro HD Hero 2 with one other microphone.

It's a cheap $2 gooseneck PC microphone that claims to be stereo. Surprisingly, it sounded very good for what it cost me! You'll notice that I start this video with the built-in GoPro microphone and plugged the flexible mic in halfway through the video. The sound is funny for a second but then the microphone produced a very clear, very pleasant sound without the cricketing noise. I wonder if the GoPro is sensitive to the type of microphone used. This is the first external mic that doesn't produce the cricket noise with the GoPro! It also connects to both channels. Lastly, it seems to reduce the room ambient noise dramatically! That must mean that it's a unidirectional mic that helps eliminate background noise. Pretty cool for a <$2 microphone!


More later,
Ambrose
