The Sennheiser MKE2 is an action microphone made specifically for (and with help from) GoPro. A couple things you should know:
The mic is molded into an entire backplate for one of GoPro’s waterproof housings — which means it’s only compatible with Hero 4 cameras
It suppresses wind noise, but an elastic suspension should help cut down on structural noise (AKA that “GoPro rattle”), too
It’s water resistant in depths up to a meter for 30 minutes
Here are some sound samples (with, frustratingly, a bunch of loud music layered behind them):
GoPro’s cameras are notoriously bad at handling wind noise, so this is a nice — if expensive — solution.
