so while looking for circular polarizers for my gopro, i found this faux sony mic with cable thingie from polar-pro. they demo that the mic does well. i shall give this a try. i'd crack up if this works better than the audiotechnica or the $250 rode mic. hahaha. lol

but if you think about it, most condenser mics (even cheap ones) have relatively flat response. it's really the pre-amp and impedance that make the difference especially when the gopro can not adjust input level. they need to add that feature on their future hero models.

TV tuner, the elgato? I've heard very good things about it but haven't used one myself.

I have yet to hear about issues using external mics on a Kodak Zi8.... I'm guessing the mics used with the GoPro will disappoint. But I'll stay hopeful. Have you looked at the Sennheiser 400 mke?

Hi Mr.kenchan sounds like you had a good weekend. I did the usual yard maintenance, house cleaning, then a fun day at the Grand reopening of the local Nissan dealer with my little guy. I found out he's afraid of clowns on stilts

Sunday was a out-and-about family day finished off with a quick spin in the Z. Good times

yep, elgato eyeTV it's called.

the one thing i noticed about these mics is that if the input level is low after plugging it into the gopro, chances are the S/N will be terrible due to the gopro's internal high pitched noise unless you place your mic next to a loud sound source. inside the cabin of my z (not quiet but not super loud) both rode (at -10dB) and audiotechnica were too low.

with the cheepo mics that i choice, the sensitivity is on the higher side but not high quality so they are probably about -3dB lower vs a nice mic like the rode.

the rode would do well in quiet environments like say in my music room or inside a house, inside a quiet car if the mic was held by hand. when i spoke into the rode at 0dB, the gopro sounded acceptable.

also the isolators were not enough to suspend the mic housing from its holder over bumps even with my conti DW's. i can hear the mic housing bumping the holder.
