GIMBAL MOTOR NOISE ON GOPRO HERO 5 !!

[graystar7835]

Hi everyone, 

I want to use guimbal like EVO GP PRO or Feiyu-Tech G4S BUT there is a BIG AUDIO NOISE ISSUE  (Another one) with THIS !!

So i would find another like EVO SS and it's the same Audio Problem !!! same Audio Problem !!!

So It's a problem by the right mic on the Gopro who going into resonance with guimbal motors !

And it's the likely same problem same problem on Karma Grip, but with the update who cut the right mic it's prety less noisy !

SO, can you upgrade the gopro hero 5 with an option to manually cut the Right mic for using it with Guimbal !!!

PLEASE ! PLEASE !

PS: Sorry for my english, i'm French

I had no problem with motor noise using the Karma grip. Must just be on the Feiu products. Can you just cover the mic hole will that reduce the noise?

Yes the last update will support karma !

I think it will be a great thing if Gopro may be the choise to use filter manualy without karma for other Guimbals !

There is advantage to use Evo or Feiyu-Tech like BEST autonomie !!

Well I have a problem same one with lanparte gimbal .. I have a hero 4 session which is perfect .. but the hero 5 black catches horrible noise ... The gimbal itself is a super silent one .. like I said the hero 4 session is absolutely amazing on it .. the hero 5 is useless C's of the audio  .. I will have to sell it unless the issue is resolved .. so please release a few that filters out the motor noise or allows mics to be turned off .. covering a mic just muffles the audio so it's still useless

Hi,
If you have a gimbal can you test your hero 5 black with audio on "wind" ?

[glennggrech]

i did test it on wind .. same result .. almost.. still not even close to silent tho.. dont forget i use the same gimbal(diff clamp) for hero 4 session.. and there is absolutely not one slight gimbal hint of sound .. but 5black just picksup whining and grunting.. i dont even mind grunting but that whine is something you cant unhear.. so my tests were .. her5 auto sound =fail   hero5 stereo=bigger fail...  hero5 wind=still heard .. hero 5 wind with side mic covered= gimbal noise gone but so is any high pitch audio.. voiced sound like a censored confession.. and last test was hero5 with top mic covered = gimbal noise remained and voices were crap ... i did all the tests indoor .. so maybe im being a bit picky .. oh wait one more test .. downgrade to 1.5 and wind = sucess ish .. but camera was unstable on that fw and i couldnt have that 

[graystar7835]

Just thank you for your tests !!
i think the fw 1.5 is cool for for audio quality with gimbal !

Look at this vidéo the audio on wind make good quality audio but not perfect !

have you tried the fw 1.5? cs for me the camera kept freezing from time to time ..so i went back to 1.55 also i hated the update popups ..gopro should fix this issue and release a fw update as soon as possible ..
