Hi,

I'm basically looking for an good external microphone for a GoPro Hero 4 Black to capture engine/exhaust sounds while driving etc.. Budget under £100 but cheaper the better.

I have the genuine GoPro adapter and I have tried a OLYMPUS ME51SW Mic while it was on offer £20 on Amazon but i'm not overly impressed with the quality tbh.

What do you use on your Gopro presuming there are some on here who does this kinda thing smile

Thanks in Advance smile

Rode make really good mics, get a nice fluffy squirrel to shove it up and reduce wind noise. not cheap but you get what you pay for!
spend £300+ for cracking video, but 20p for the sound... don't scrimp if you want to capture great sound.

my rode mic plugged up.

I didn't pay £300 for the GoPro got it for £120 from Tesco while it was on offer at £199 with some club card savings wink

I had a look into them kind of mics but they are on the big side for what I'm after tbh.

So far this is the best I've been able to get out of the Olympus...
