Better GoPro Sound with the Sony ECM DS70P

If you have a GoPro Hero2 and are looking to improve its horrible sound quality, check out getting a skeleton case and the Sony ECM DS70P external microphone. It's cheap, lightweight and mounts easily.
Even if you don't buy the mic, try just the skeleton case as you'll notice that this improves sound quality quite a bit vs the waterproof case.

Sucks that the skeleton housing is 40 bucks :(

@ThaReaIFake Check CraigsList or drill holes into the waterproof housing.

@taskete Yeah, it's probably fake. Someone already brought it up but it works so I cant complain!

I´ve tested a lot mics yet but most of them had a too low volume. Iin your test you have a very loud source of course. Did you ever test the sony mic for speaking or in a car?

[SuperSetCA]

@Go4Gold1000 No, I have not since the unit is designed for outdoor activity where the action and its associated sounds are to be recorded. Speech typically isn't a factor.
