GP12 can record unprocessed raw audio separately simultaneously and save into the same folder. Is there any workflow (prefer free instead of costly addons) to process this raw audio in Resolve to get good sound? Something like AI  sound noise reduction in iphone? Thx. 

You might benefit from the Voice Isolation feature in Resolve.  I'm not sure if this is a paid feature or in free version, but it seems to work pretty well in some situations.

In general though, having something on the microphones to block them from wind is essential.  You can't side-step the laws of physics 🙂

You might wonder how to color grade or color correct GP-Log. The problem is that no matter how good you are at color grading, the exposure needs to be right in order to get good results. 

That's true of almost every camera.  The closest you get it right in-camera the better the output will be.

Thanks a lot. Will try the voice isolation.

Gp12 battery uses up quickly. Especially after installing gp labs firmware.

for tiny action cams, 10 bit log is the way to go. in cam painting is very thin. cam body is small, no room for powerful gpu. no 10 bit log is a critical weak point.

gp 12 overheats so quickly. in car without ac on, it only records 15 minutes and shutdown. if it is hot summer, wo ac, probably less than 5 min.

maybe it is better to have raw action cams, overheating may be a less issue than the current crop. 

it seems anti intuitive, but it is not. if sd overclocking is not activated, 1080p vista vision 5d3 ml raw is less likely to have overheating issue than 5d3 stock 1080p or 5d4 etc.

tried again. in a typical in car temp, gp 12 shuts down at about 15 min even duration is set to no limit. turning on ac to maximal scale in window/front oanel/driver mode, seems solve the issue. man, it is such a "cool" experience.

gp 12 battery each lasts about 1 h at most. probably i need to find some usb charging cable for longer time car mount usage.

seems gopro has this media mod providing 3.5mm mic port and cold shoes. anyone has experience of this? i am thinking to mount my seinheiser mke 200 with a dead cat on it. i just cannot bear the sound from the integrated mic on gp12, it does not cancel wind at all.

smallrig has a cage for gp12, much cheaper. seems using usb-c for audio adapter. anyone has experience on this cage and audio adapter?

gp12 media mod has additional audio meter and hdmi out, better than the audio module and third party cage, seems the way to go. 

will mount my mke 200 on the cold shoe. another cold shoe may be for some high quality small size preamp in the future. 

any suggestion on small size high quality preamps? thx.
