slomove Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Got myself a new video camera (VHoldR Contour) that is self contained and can do HD. Since the built in microphone is useless with the wind noise I dug into the device, removed the mic and extended the mic leads as well as the controls. Now I am looking for a good mic position out of the wind to get meaningful sound. I tried it on top of the tunnel and got a lot of gearbox whining. Tried it next to the intake and got some nice slurping but the rest of the engine sounds like somebody is scraping a chain link fence with a screwdriver. Tried it behind the driver seat which is quite good but it picks up a lot of suspension clatter (I have ball joint radius arms). So, I guess I will keep experimenting and, it is always a good excuse for another test drive Nice 75 degrees and I got nothing else to do....
MHKflyer52 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Hi slomove, Try putting a foam cover over the mic to see if that will help. My headset that I use when I fly has a foam cover over the boom mic and if it is off the racket is so bad no one can understand what your saying.
