How To: GoPro Hero 5 popping and clicking issues

There's a known issue with the GoPro Hero 5 and a clicking or popping noise that can be heard when using an external microphone. Two possible solutions that I've seen are to either turn off the wifi, or to only use a mono mic rather than stereo as the stereo mic is causing the camera to peak out or something.



I've been doing a lot of testing and the solution is pretty simple. You need to add a ferrite cable magnet to the cable as close to the camera as possible.



That simple addition has eliminated all popping and clicking, regardless of the mic I'm running.



I'll post up some pictures of the set up I'm running, along with some sound files as soon as I can. The weather here in Portland has not been conducive to riding recently.
