This is one of my preliminary videos where I'm testing a something before I do a final video about it.
In this video I'm testing one of my own microphone modifications, or microphone hack, whatever you want to call it.
This particular mic mod is one designed for very windy environments. It's basically a flexible microphone body that I've removed its capsule from and replaced it with a better capsule. I then encase and cover the microphone with a deadcat from a RODE VideoMicro.
The other component here that's arguably the most important part of my GoPro Hero 8 vlogging setup is the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter, which obviously allows me to connect external microphones to the GoPro Hero 8 Black via its USB C port. I will also try this out again when the GoPro Media Mod has been released.
I've used this mic on another camera and it makes for a great omni-directional vlogging microphone. What did you think the mic sounded like and is this suitable as a vlogging mic for the GoPro Hero 8 ?

You do not pay any extra for me to receive my commission, the commision comes from the advertised price you pay and isn’t added on top of it.
These commissions really do help toward the costs of my YouTube channel and mostly go toward buying a lot of the equipment that I review and use on my channel. I am very grateful to anyone who uses my links as it really does help me in what I do.
