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?

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

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

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

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 ..
