With the Micro,Cinema this is very true, but me thinks after re-reading the OP comments, he has a Micro Studio camera, with the 4K sensor, so it is a native ISO 400 camera, with "gain" settings, rather than ISO.
So 0 = 400, then each +6dB gain setting adding 400 to the base ISO, so +6dB = ISO 800, +12 = 1200 etc., with +6 being very useable, but noise becomes apparent at +12 or above, but still more useable than a GoPro at a similar setting.
As CaptainHook pointed out only the Studio cameras use "gain" settings, the Cinema cameras use ISO, including the Micro Cinema. The OP is complaining his Micro camera has no ISO setting, and a poor image in low light.
So I return to my original comment, OP has the Wrong camera for his very low light shooting situation, the Micro Cinema would be better, per previous comments on pushing the image more in post, but a camera designed for low light would be better yet.
