yellowss7 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Fired up the Beast for the first time since Mid November and took it out for a nice Blat. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gifhttp://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gifhttp://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gif Thought for a moment that Al had jinxed me, it cranked over for about 10 seconds without firing up. Fired up on the next turn of the key. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/hurray.gif Tried out the next Bullet Cam set up. Camera works great. But I'm not at all happy with the Sound quality. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/ack2.gif Anyone have a mic recommendation. I'm using the one that came with the bullet cam system. But its not loud and sounds really tinny. Not even close to R1's example. Should I just get one that plugs into the Camcorder?? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1 Seven Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Try wraping some foam around the mic itself if you can. I have always put some 1" thick foam over the mic on my camcorder to keep the wind noise out. I just got a bullet cam setup for my B-day and have not had a chance to try it on the car yet. It has two mics (one for each channel) I am going to put foam around them and put one behind each seat to keep them out of the wind as much as possible. Hopefully I will be able to capture some good track video next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks Jeff. I ran the mic across the top of the trans. up under the dash just ahead of the shifter, so i don't think wind was the problem, it just has really low volume, and poor quality. It came with the bullet cam and is part of the wires that connect to the bullet cam. Even in the house the volume is really low even with the video camcoarder volume up. I have seen video's with horrible wind noise so I know what you mean. Off to Radio shack. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Tom- I'm going to try underscuttle, foam wrapped soon. Jeff's behind the seat location sounds good, too...though not the most weather-tight solution...I'd like to leave mine in permanently then attach/detach from the camera when I have it in the car.-Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
