I bought this Hero 7 Black. The picture is great, but the audio is worse than the phone I've been vlogging with for 5 months... The wind noise is a PITA, but easily fixed. The main issue with the internal audio is the handling noise. A selfie stick or anything the GoPro is mounted on (I have a soft rubber handle that also does this), just moving the stick in your hand causes mechanical transmission of noise into the sensitive mics of the camera.

So...... I have come up with a way of isolating the camera mount from the handle. It works as a proof of concept and I'll be building a V2. If this video gives you all a jumping off point for your own solutions, I'll be happy to hear from you in the comments!

Oh, and I also glued some 1/4" fixings onto a £1 egg timer which produces some nice smooth rotating timelapse. They only turn one way, but if you plan ahead with what you glue on, you can turn it upside down for the opposite way!
