Drift Innovation Action Camera Microphone - External 3.5mm Microphone For Camera. Easy To Fit Mini Microphone, 50cm Cable, Removable Lapel Clip, Noise Reducing Technology, Ideal For Vlogging Kit

Bought this after reading reviews on the performance over the external microphone on the Drift Ghost S camera. On first use after inserting it into my helmet the results were excellent. The next test was out on the road which was not so good with a lot of wind interference. The way to get the best out of the microphone is to reduce the sensitivity of the microphone in the camera setup to the middle setting No1 with No3 being the highest. You also need to insert the microphone behind the cheek pad inside the helmet. The result makes for a pretty good sound track that you will want to keep on your video. I tested it up to 70mph. The quality of the microphone is excellent. The difficulty is in keeping the microphone out of the wind. Very difficult to do on any motorbike. The end result will depend on how much protection you get from your screen and keeping the microphone out of the wind. I intend to use my setup for filming scenery abroad traveling at no more than 50mph and it performs very well at that speed.

Easily fitted to my LS2 FF906 helmet and Ghost XL Pro intercom. Really neat, small and unobtrusive. Sound quality is great on playback. Definitely worth having.

Works good for recording inside the helmet. Down side. The cable is far to long. The camera is mounted on the side of the helmet and the mic inside. Why have a cable so long. Just seems stupid. They need to make a smaller version.

This microphone is worth every penny, I had cheaper versions which didn’t meet my expectations, this one ticks all the boxes.

Have seen a few reviews about microphone I have had no issues the sound is good and easy to use and the length is perfect for my Helmet

The first one didn’t work and I had to send back and get a replacement. 2nd one works, however it has a very long lead which needs to be somehow hidden in your helmet. Perhaps an option with a short lead would be helpful as I guess most use is for helmet cameras.Sound is ok but still experimenting with it and where to position. Current have it on an existing mic stalk at front of helmet and this does pick up a lot of wind noise.

I use this with my gopro and the sound quality is fantastic. I have a very windy helmet but this does the job perfectly.

I bought this by mistake thinking that all Drift mics were the same. I have an older DriftHD camera (1080 before the Ghost). That needs a 2.5mm mono jack whereas this comes with a 3.5mm jack. It worked fine thorugh a 3.5 to 2.5mm stereo adapter however and I then cut off the jack and put a 2.5mm one on and that works fine. There is background noise on recordings but that may be the camera rather than the mic. It is not bad noise and can also be easily removed in something like Audacity. The clip and mic body are metal so hopefully its a bit more robust than the cheapo auction site mics. I had one of those which worked fine but then one day just went pop and died. It actually happened whilst I was using it for a test at home - no abuse. The windcover is too loose and falls off straightaway on the Drift mic.Note - it is directional so will obviously work best if the end is pointing towards what you are recording.

Just what I wanted

I use this with my sony cam on my helmet and my only gripe is after recording and I play it back sound only plays out of one side of the speakers or headphones!!Update: I messed up and didn't have it connected correctly I believe OR there was a short in that particular one. I just bought another and the sound is perfect. 5 stars

Todo correcto

J'avais besoin d'un petit micro discret et efficace pour faire mes débuts dans le motovloging avec ma Drift Ghost-s!Le temps de trouver l'endroit parfait pour le caler dans mon casque et roule ma poule!Le son est propre et il fonctionne à merveille!

ottimo microfono, funziona bene usato nel casco oppure come microfono per voce sistemato vicino al volto. per essere un piccolo microfono funziona bene anche come panoramico ma per un utilizzo prettamente amatoriale. ben costruito e solido!
