Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Movo GM100 GoPro Compatible Clip-on Lavalier Microphone for HERO3, HERO3+, HERO4 (Black, White, Silver) - Includes Mic Adapter by Ryo Flora

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great deal for the price. It works, but it's definitely not ideal!

At this price point, the toilet and adapter combo is one of the cheapest deals you can get. I've been looking for an adapter for my silver GoPro Hero 4 for quite some time and anything before that has never worked. I read all the other reviews and they were quite conflicting so I hesitated to buy this brand. Here are the pros and cons I found during testing: Pros: - Extremely affordable compared to other Lavas and the original GoPro adapter - The design of the adapter itself is amazing, the cable is beefy and incredibly stiff and rigid - The adapter also works with other microphones, not just the included microphone. Love has really good gain, nice and clear sound for the price. No stupid settings - plug in and you're done. Cons: - Lava has an incredibly short wire that makes it impossible to shoot further and not show the wire on screen. Noticed a very faint and incessant clicking noise in the background. Not that big of a deal IF you know how to fix it later. As with all battery-powered mics, the Lav doesn't have gain control and the GoPro doesn't, so you'll have to control your voice for what it is. incredibly sensitive - often picks up shirt noises and other body sounds. In general, the microphone is excellent! 4/5 stars
