Re: My GoPro HD Hero2 Microphone/Audio Setup

^ This guy seems legit...

Anyway the reason I'm bringing this thread back from the dead is I had a guy PM me some questions about my setup so I thought it would be easier to post these pics here rather than email or text them.

Pic descriptions as follows:
1. This is the whole setup plugged in. Obviously.

2. The mono mic I got from radio shack. Sounds pretty decent, runs on a watch battery. Only downside is that you have NO IDEA that your battery is dead until you play back the video and there's no audio. I buy cheap batteries and replace them often.

3. This is my splitter. Two 3.5mm inputs and one 3.5mm output. Simple, effective. I got it either at radio shack or guitar center. I forget which.

4. The adapter. Important. This is where the magic happens, combining audio from both mics and delivering them from both speakers. Finding this was a huge achievement.

5. This is the new mixer, it replaces the Y splitter and has individual volume control. Fancy. I don't recall if it eliminates the need for the adapter though, it's been a while since I've used my GoPro. Apologies for it being upside down. No I'm not going to fix it.
