your GoPro video.
Add that missing Element
It's the sound that really takes you there. With the Sennheiser MKE 2 elements you can capture the breathing of an athlete, the roaring of a
breaking wave, the grit under the tires of a mountain bike. clear, crisp, contoured sound. Conveying emotion and atmosphere.
Care about your Video, Not about your Mic
For the
Sennheiser MKE 2 elements, water is not an issue. It can cope with upto 1 bar of pressure, and reliably records underwater sounds, ready to pick up voices again the very moment it resurfaces. Wind noise is probably the worst enemy of any outdoor recording, and outdoor
sports take wind noise to an extreme level - however, this is no problem at all for the MKE 2 elements. It features a special windshield that reliably protects against wind noise, even when it
is wet.
As a GoPro is often mounted to your gear, there is a lot of unwanted rumbling and handling noise. Therefore, the Sennheiser MKE 2 elements includes a custom-made shock mount that reliably protects the
microphone from structure-borne noise such as vibrations of the housing. In brief: Don't worry about the mic, it will go anywhere your GoPro goes.

camera.
