Can I use an external mic with the GoPro Max?

Same here kleake, I use my GoPros in the plane and would like to simplify with a single 360 camera, but GoPro hasn't added this option yet. And if having an port on the side is a problem, why not have a port on the bottom?

I have the same question before buying expensive audio adapter cable

At this point a bluetooth mic would be the only way, and I'm not sure if anyone has tested that yet.

Hi @kleake

Bluetooth mic doesn't work.

Well scratch that idea....  Per the above reply from GoPro, we have to use some other method (of audio capture such as a secondary camera if we need better audio in noisy environments.  This should be fixable with an update from GoPro, but who knows if that will actually happen.

Thanks for the above questions and comments folks.

I've been out on the bike several times now with the Max. I use the sound from the Max as a background (makes my Ducati sound great!), but commentary from my helmet camera, a Drift Ghost S. It adds to the workflow effort but works reasonably well. Check out my Max/Motorbike review here https://youtu.be/vilYbCxjkdE

Salut,

De ce que je vois sur les forums il ne semble pas possible d'utiliser un micro externe... décidément cette Max est à la fois géniale et merdique (toujours pas de données GPS utilisables....)

Greetings from another Ducati owner! Congratulations on this well-made video with attention to detail.

One question: are the overlay data (speed, route, etc.) those generated directly by the GoPro MAX or are they extracted from other sources?
