Awakening the Beast from it's winter slumber


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

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
