GoPro has announced the Wireless Mic Complete Kit, a new wireless microphone system for content creators who want better audio across different devices.
The new kit is aimed at users shooting video with action cameras, mirrorless or DSLR cameras, smartphones and more traditional video setups, offering two wireless transmitters, a TRS receiver, a USB receiver, windscreens and a charging case.
The announcement matters because audio quality remains one of the most important parts of mobile and travel content, especially when shooting outdoors with wind, movement or heavy background noise.
A small and lightweight system for creators
The GoPro Wireless Mic Complete Kit is designed for situations where gear needs to remain compact and easy to carry. Each transmitter weighs just 10 grams and can be attached to clothing either with a clip or magnetically.
According to GoPro, the system offers a wireless range of up to 150 meters and records 24-bit audio at 48kHz. The company presents it as a solution for cleaner voice recording compared to built-in camera microphones.
Compatibility with GoPro, cameras and smartphones
The new system is compatible with DSLR and mirrorless cameras, smartphones, GoPro cameras and devices with a 3.5mm TRS audio input.
For GoPro users, connection can be made through the Media Mod’s external microphone port using the included TRS receiver. The transmitters can also connect directly to supported devices via Bluetooth.
Compatible devices include the GoPro Hero13 Black, Hero12 Black, Max2 and Mission 1 Series cameras, as well as supported smartphones. With the Mission 1 Series, GoPro mentions Bluetooth Super Wideband Speech support for more natural voice reproduction.
Features for cleaner audio
The Wireless Mic Complete Kit includes Dynamic Noise Reduction, a feature designed to reduce environmental noise and bring speech forward.
Users can also manually adjust audio levels, with gain control from -12dB to +12dB. In addition, there is a Safety Track feature, which records a second audio channel 6dB lower than the main track, providing more protection against clipping or overly loud audio.
Placing the microphone close to the speaker helps reduce noise from crowds, wind and movement, which is especially useful for creators working outdoors.
Battery life and charging
Battery life is rated at up to 6.5 hours for each transmitter, while the TRS receiver can operate for up to 13 hours on a single charge.
The included charging case can fully recharge each component twice before it needs to be recharged. This makes the system more practical for travel, outdoor shoots, interviews and everyday vlogging.
Price and availability
The GoPro Wireless Mic Complete Kit is available now for 160 euro. The package includes two transmitters, a TRS receiver, a USB receiver, windscreens and a charging case.
GoPro also plans to release a Wireless Mic USB Kit for 83 euro, as well as individual Wireless Mic Transmitters for 50 euro.
What we think
GoPro appears to be moving toward a more complete creator ecosystem, rather than focusing only on action cameras. The new Wireless Mic Complete Kit looks practical for users who frequently switch between devices and need a compact audio solution, although its real value will depend on recording quality in difficult conditions.
