I have seen a lot of YouTubers using a GoPro to Vlog with a plugged in mic. But when I search on youtube how they do it I can’t find anything.

After 2 hours of search, I found a short video on how he did it, and because I used 2 hours to find a short video, I will now tell you guys how to it in one Blog.

1. The camera – GoPro Hero 5 Black

At first, you need the GoPro Hero 5 black or another GoPro, but this list is only for the GoPro hero 5 black. If you want to use an older version of GoPro you need some other parts because the case does not fit and the GoPro hero 5 is using USB-C and the older versions are using USB-micro.

2. You need a specific case

The big problem of using a plugging mic is, you need it to be on top of the camera, and when you are using the normal case you can not mount it on top. You have to buy this Protective Frame Housing Case because this will allow you to mount a mic on top of the GoPro.

3. The best mic for GroPro

I will recommend the Rode VideoMicro because, if you use a big mic it will be inside the frame. This mic is really good and the quality of sound is awesome for about 60$. But there is a problem because there is no input to a Minijack 3.5mm on the GoPro. So you need to buy a GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter and you need this one because that’s with a USB-C.

If you buy everything I listed here you would be good to go for Vlogging with a GoPro.
