Your review is the best one I have found for this mic. Trying to find the right microphone has been more than frustrating. Really appreciate your help. Went ahead and ordered it at Amazon. New subscriber here too.
I do quite enjoy the sound quality coming out of this mic and it picks up your voice robustly and with presence. I can see it being quite useful in a variety of situations, when cardioid directionality isn't needed. Thanks for the vid!
Well done, man! Thank you! I recently upgraded to a pair of GoPro 9 cams with Media Mods for kayak fishing (one in front of me that shoots at me, and the other above and behind shooting forward). I was previously working with a pair of 6 Blacks with the front cam mic'd with a Movo GM100. It worked fairly well and sounded great, as I was relying on the front cam's audio track in post. But syncing audio (and moreover, video), even with Premiere's sync function, is very unreliable (and I'm being generous). I waste a ton of time syncing files. These mics sound great and are idiot-proof and setup-free. I ordered a pair of them, along with deadcats and enough right angle adapters to swing the mics from the back of the Media Mods to the front of the cams. With an entire investment of $60 for the two cams, this is a game-changer, editing-wise. Thanks again for the great review!
This is a really good video actually. More than enough information to satisfy any questions I had about the ETM-01 as well as the Rode Video Micro. Thank you
Nice video, thanks for sharing your results and tests. I own both the Editidge ETM-001 and Rode Video Micro and they both have their uses for my setup.
Good video! The mic sounds so good, and it's so small! I wish GoPro would let you plug a mic straight into the side of the camera, but the cage, adapter & this tiny mic are still a small profile. I know what you mean about the deadcat and mic attracting attention -- no one pays attention to someone with just a small GoPro, but you start adding the other stuff, and suddenly, you're in the spotlight. I'm going to check out some of your other videos -- hope you're still using this mic!
Thank you I really appreciate that and thanks for watching. Please subscribe I have more videos coming all the time. I am going to do a budget mic comparison soon.
Great review. I use my Edutage as a lav mic connected to my Zoom H1 (using a 3.5mm stereo audio extension cord Male to Female - I have 3 in various lengths). It's a fabulous little mic (in fact I've just bought a second one to fit in my helmet).
How is the adaptor mounted. Interested in using your setup but need details to make secure when Mountain bike riding. Thanks for great video Graeme in Australia.
Thanks for your review, very helpful and interesting, I've recently purchased a Hero 7 and I'm not very impressed the audio from it so I think the EDUTIGE ETM-001 will work for me, thanks again for your review and stay safe during these very worrying times... #Subscribed.😷👍
Pro: very small inconspicuous size, does not block cold shoe. Cons: no shock mount, omnidirectional (picks up ambient noises), no 90 degrees adapter. BTW, please tell us the distance next time, rather than "close".
Great video, one question.....should we turn off the wind reduction in gopro settings when using external mics with wind cover or should we keep it to auto or on?
The mic can plug into multiple products like the GoPro adaptor your cameras etc.. I may not fully understand your question so if I didn't answer your question please ask it again just rephrase it so I can better understand it. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
Your review helped me a lot! First I wanted to buy the Rode Microphone but finally ordered the 001. I don´t need it for vlogging, so MY voice is not important but the voice of the surrounding area. Making vacation videos on a cruise ship, at the beach or on the streets... e.g. Sometimes I put it on my mountainbike - filming a tour at moderate speed. I hope the microphone can handle that as well. But there is one question i´d like to ask: Do I have to use the original wind puff or do you use it in your video??? What type is it? A cheap one?
Was about to pick this one up from Amazon, but decided to check out a reviews first, and yours is the best review yet. One question: Why is it called a "Dual" microphone? Does the "Dual" refer to the omni-directional feature, or something else? Also, isn't a globe-head or ball-head kind of omni-directional mic better and more efficient, since it is shaped to cover 360 degrees due to it's ball shape? Please reply ASAP so I can make the purchase. Thx. Gave a thumbs-up for sure :)
I am not sure where you saw that it is called a duel microphone it’s called Omni directional microphone. Basically what omnidirectional means it picks up audio from a 360° pick up pattern around the microphone.
@@TodayIFeelLike It's written on the box itself -- "Dual Microphone". I can send you a pic of the box. Plus, I also read it on a few places here on YT and online, where it is called the Dual Microphone! Yes, I know it is omni-directional, but I just wanted to know why it is also called a Dual Microphone.
Wait you’re asking about the media mod? I’m sorry I’m getting a little lost in a bunch of different conversations on UA-cam. In fact look at the video description to find my contact information and we will have a more detailed conversation about this.
@@TodayIFeelLike Oh no, my conversation has nothing to do with the media mode, it's primarily for the question of why this mic is called the "Dual Microphone".:)
Oh I don’t remember I think it was standard mic. I never use the powered mic setting and the standard mic+ has too much gain so it must have been standard mic.
I heard the built in mic on the go pro 9 works really well compared to the go pro 7.....will the ETM 001 give the audio more quality on my go pro 9??? Or will it be almost the same??
Question: with the build-in mic you get a lot of sounds when your hitting the stick/tri-pod of the GoPro, how's that with this mic? (since there is still a lot of static mass from the mic to the GoPro stick)
I just drill out the GoPro Case -- to expose the 3 internal microphone -- then use a foam cover -- then I attach a 5,000 milliAmp battery -- that gives me 4 hours of use -- that easy --
No the adaptor is an unfortunate necessity. The only other way to get clean audio into the GoPro which is not really getting it into the GoPro is to record your audio separate and then sync it in post.
When I made this video the sharpness was probably on high. For a long time I left it at the default which is high I now have it on medium and leave it there.
I’m not sure which light you’re talking about but it’s probably the Litra pro. That is the light I use most of the time when I’m shooting with my GoPro or my smart phone.
consistent, not really, i would say its sporadic. when it does happen it happens to a group or videos, not just one or two and it stops. • wifi connections off • phone on airplane mode • phone about 20ft away • checked the connections on the adapter, gopro, and the mic it has happened under those conditions at different times
TodayIFeelLike i cut the doubt out of that question by switching mics, my rode mic didnt pop. im guessing the edutige might be sitting too close to the gopro adapter?
TodayIFeelLike i FINALLY figured it out! i had my gopro wifi connection OFF between the gopro and the phone, but i didnt have connect off. gopro settings > connections > scroll down to connect and make sure its off. im not 100% sure, but i heard this connection looks for or auto connects to your phone when youre on the app.
The 3 internal microphones are amazing -- just drill out the case -- to expose all 3 -- and purchase a foam cover for $2 each -- smaller and lighter is better -- true
@@SilverfoxJB Maybe with the Hero 8 GoPro will release a wireless waterproof mic. Imagine if they had a transmitter thats like the same size as the Rode Wireless Go with the mic built-in and is waterproof or at least water resistant and the Hero 8 has the receiver built-in as part of the camera. That way the camera can remain waterproof and still get great audio.
@@TodayIFeelLike The only thing I hate about the GoPro 9 is that the mic is geared towards those who stay in front of the camera. If you are behind the camera, the audio is horrible. I have an outdoor channel and I'm always moving from the front to the back of the camera as I move around and show things so I'm not always in front of the camera. If this mic works great on the 9, then I'll get it right away lol. I had no issues with the mic on the 7 but I really like the 9 for the selfie screen lol.
@@TodayIFeelLike Thanks for the info. I do like that it easily plugs right into the adapter. There are not many options for cold shoe omnidirectional mics.

Brilliant video and to the point. I think this video convinced me in getting an EDUTIGE ETM-001!
Great glad the video helped you. I really like this tiny mic. It sounds good, it's small and it's inexpensive.
wow that mic sounds so good. Great review bro keep it up!!
Thanks I really appreciate that thanks for watching and please subscribe.
Looking to buy my first GoPro for a upcoming trip. Your review was the best I've seen/heard. If you used that mic for this video, I'm sold.
Yes I used this mic for part of the video but not all of it. It's a great mic and still one of my favorites.
Just ordered my Ulanzi case and Edutige ETM-001 off Amazon, can't wait to use it!
That's awesome I hope you love it.
Did the same. Does it work good?
How are you liking the setup?

Yes they are both great mic and for their respective prices they are hard to beat.
Very nice review been using this same setup for about a year and love it had no problems with sound on our hikes. Small clean the best.
Yeah it's great but I recently upgraded to the Hero 8 Black and now I need a new care to hold the audio adapter

No problem thanks for watching and sharing your feedback.
Clear and precise. Thanks for the video.
Thank you much. I appreciate that and thanks for watching.
You should try the saramonic mic. It's also small as the edutige but you can actually point it to any direction you wanna pick up sound from.
I'll have to see if I can get one. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already.

Love your review on this! Persuaded me to get one!( Great personality for blogging freind) just subbed! 👏👍
Thank you so much I really appreciate both the kind words and the sub. Welcome aboard.
Thanks for helping me select a mic. Great video, very informative! Not a huge difference between the puff or the deadcat. Which do you use more often?
I use the dead at all the time because when you need if you don't have it your audio is useless.

FYI: Lanmu makes an Right Angle Adapter (search on Amazon) so its pointing towards your voice/mouth.
Yeah I have tried the right angle adaptors and they don't change the sound profile because its an omnidirectional mic.
Great video! To the point and I bought it before the video ended 😂 thanks
Wow that's great I hope you like it. Thanks for watching.
love our comparisons brought one thx
Try flipping microphone jack over on left side of camera...it will fit better.
Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching and if you haven't already please subscribe.
Hi David - if you do that how will the cable from the adapter reach the GoPro port? Thanks.
Higly informative , Thank you
nice review!
Great video, one question.....should we turn off the wind reduction in gopro settings when using external mics with wind cover or should we keep it to auto or on?
I leave it on because I don't believe it does anything I think the wind reduction only affects the internal microphones.
I like the sound of the mic. It seems crispy.

Larry...my man...thank you sir!
No problem thank you for watching
001 is great but how about crowded street, Maybe then need a lav or use the 008
You likely need a different mic if you are looking for isolation.
Great video...I never heard a windscreen called a windpuff...lol

Thanks for the review! Have you tested this with an L adapter to see if makes a difference with background sound?
I did and it made no difference.
I have this mic but it has a lot of popping noise. What setting do you use for input and output?
Do you have a foam or furry wind cover?
@@TodayIFeelLike , Yes, a foam cover.

Hello
This mic in gopro it's
1)standart mic
2)standart mic +
3) powered mic
4)powered mic +
5)line in?

It will but it's a very sensitive mic and if you are filming in very loud conditions just know you might blow out your audio.
Sir What is your preference between EDUTIGE ETM-001 VS Comica CVM-VS07 🙂
The Edutige
Question: with the build-in mic you get a lot of sounds when your hitting the stick/tri-pod of the GoPro, how's that with this mic?
(since there is still a lot of static mass from the mic to the GoPro stick)
Good content.

Does it make any sound when you Vlog with it?
It’s the GoPro Shortie and no it’s silent. Check it out.
@@TodayIFeelLike cool thanks for the info!
There are some after market versions for like $12 U.S. while the Short is $40

Is the etm good for live music recordings or should i get another one and if yes which one do you recommend?
That's a good question and I can't answer it because I haven't used it for that.
How would the Edutige ETM-001 sound when on a chest mount?
That's a good question it should sound just as good since it's omnidirectional
is your sharpness gopro on low, medium or high? please answer
When I made this video the sharpness was probably on high. For a long time I left it at the default which is high I now have it on medium and leave it there.
