James Trew for Engadget RATING : 7.8 / 10 Pros Compact and lightweight Versatile connectivity Good sound Direct GoPro connectivity Cons Direct connection is single mic only Minor usability quirks Premium price By my calculation, I've been waiting for GoPro's Wireless Mic System for almost exactly 175 months. That's how long it's been since I reviewed the HD Hero 2 and realized the potential of a GoPro as a vlogging camera. It just needed a capable wireless microphone. Better still, one that connected directly to the camera without a receiver. Add noise reduction and a battery charging case, and you'd have the complete package.
