Product Information

Hopefully, this guide has helped you find the best action camera microphone attachment for your camera. The compact and lightweight design make the Rode VideoMicro an excellent choice as an action camera microphone attachment. It weighs only 42g and is a minute 21mm x 21mm x 80mm. The DJI Dual-Channel Wireless Microphone System is new to the wireless microphone market this year. It delivers as one of the top wireless microphone systems you can buy. It’s lightweight, compact design and carrying case delivers exceptional sound and performance, with the ability to record professional-level sound up to 250 meters away. Add on its long 15-hour battery life and 14-hours of built-in recording storage to really make this a winner. They are best suited when used as lapel microphones, and so if you’re looking to capture ambient sound then there are perhaps better options out there.

Strong battery life, with the ability to record up to 100 hours of continuous audio capture with two triple-A batteries But if you are looking to record voices, then you may as well stop reading now as the RØDE Wireless GO II is unrivalled. 2. RØDE VideoMic Pro If this isn’t enough, you can use the furry windshield that comes included with the microphone to capture sound in particularly windy situations.) But there are two downsides. The mod isn’t waterproof and will compromise the action camera’s waterproofing. This means you can’t use it if you think the camera might get submerged. It also adds a layer of complexity to changing the battery, as it has to be completely removed from the camera to do so. It’s another shotgun microphone and is probably best mounted off to the side of the camera rather than on top. That’s easily done using a variety of different attachments, such as a noga arm. 5. Sennheiser Professional MKE 200

Again a shotgun microphone, this 113-gram system is more suitable for the smaller camera setups where you need to stay compact.

Sound quality is one of the top priorities when selecting an action camera microphone attachment. The default mic on an action camera is decent for typical situations. However, you will require a professional microphone system for noisy environments and other challenging video shoots. The transmission range for the wireless is quoted as 660 ft (200 m). Realistically, anything closer than 330 ft (100 m) shouldn’t be a problem. The transmitter provides onboard recording. This means you won’t lose the audio even if the transmission drops out. The built-in internal storage is also a handy feature, allowing for up to 24 hours of compressed audio to be saved within the unit – with uncompressed recording, you’ll have about a 7-hour limit in the internal memory. Why would you want an action camera if you can’t move freely because of all the wires? Well, that’s why the Rode Wireless Go II is the best action camera microphone attachment of the year.Its advantage is that it gets you up close for interviews or narration. This improves ambient noise reduction. On the other hand, if you want a more portable cable-free setup, you can go for wireless microphones with action camera support.

We’re going to look at two main types of microphones for your action camera—shotgun and lavalier. Which one is right for you will depend on your needs. If you want the highest quality audio possible, you 100% need the RØDE VideoMic Pro+. This premium action camera microphone attachment is slightly larger than the others we have seen so far, but, boy oh boy, does it produce incredible results. An excellent external microphone will give you a more natural capture of your vocal sound without the audio artifacts introduced by a low-quality microphone.One really cool feature of the action camera microphone attachments we’ve looked at so far is that they are all compatible with other devices as well. That means, if you have another camera or phone you often shoot with, the microphones can also be paired with those devices, and you won’t have to invest more in different equipment. The Rode VideoMic Pro is compact and lightweight, but it’s also a piece of professional graded equipment, so you’ll get excellent sound quality. The Synco G2 is a popular choice among action camera users because of its audio quality, battery life and durability. It can be used underwater, so if you’re looking for something to take on your next diving trip or snorkeling excursion, this is a good option. Another benefit of purchasing a used GoPro is that you can use all the money you saved on other gear, like a killer action camera microphone attachment!
