Taking great videos and going extreme lengths to capture those moments are what the GoPro Hero4 is all about. But has there been occasions where you felt the audio a bit drab and how about poor recording due to bad weather? Sennheiser has deviced cool microphone to handle these elements and has even added a little surprise.

Sennheiser’s all-new MKE 2 microphone, designed for the GoPro HERO4 camera is giving users what they need, clear, crisp audio even with waterproof housing.

Based on a professional Sennheiser lavalier microphone, that’s optimised to take on the snow, ice, and wind and can even record audio under water. Made possible, thanks to an advanced capsule design with an internal Umbrella Diaphragm to protect its acoustically active membrane, a watertight connection with the camera’s protective housing, and a special windshield.

This would definetly elevate the overall package videographers would like to see at the end of their shots. Some videos cant be recreated and only have a single opportunity to get the perfect result including a super clear audio.
