New Microphone - A Few Sample Clips

[Helmet]

Here is a high speed test with the generic gopro adapter and Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone. Also note that the Mic was wrapped in some shipping foam and taped above the license plate. And the volume was lowered in post processing.

Oustanding! I miss Korea. I used to frequent there in the military and when I was flying freight for some time.

Stay away from the juicy bars! ;)

Sorry I was referring to the OP, but yours are nice as well!

Me? No, that was just some back roads in my neck of the woods. It is one of the most scenic drives in my area. The problem with that road is that it is narrow and you have to be careful. That is why I kept the speed down. Imagine someone crossing the line around one of those bends, in many cases the only place to go would be the water or the woods full of trees.

This one works without any problems.

Thank you both. I am actually going to buy both and compare and contrast the difference in sound quality between the adapters. :cheers:

I wouldn't waste your money. Helmet's sounded awesome. I guess what I read was dealing with the Chinese ebay knock offs

I plan to buy a few for all of my GoPro cameras so I need to see the quality difference under the same conditions, i.e. same camera, cable, and microphone, but different adapters.

After reviewing my track day clips, I realized one major thing lacking was the sound that this car puts out. I did a little research and settled upon the following for use with my GOPRO Hero4 Black. Yesterday, I installed them and went for a quick spin.

Olympus ME 51S microphone

GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter

Cat Ears microphone windscreen

iMBAPrice iMBA-PS-12MF 12-Feet Gold Plated 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female Extension Stereo Audio Cable

GOPRO skeleton case (so that you can plug the mic connector in)

Very straightforward..... plug the mic adapter in, plug the extension cable into the adapter, run the wire through the car and into the trunk, open trunk and attach microphone, clip to license plate bracket. Done.

And now the sound.....







Keep in mind that this is just a sample of the characteristics of the mic setup.

GOPRO has an app that works on your cell phone that turns it into a remote control for your GOPRO. It is called "Connect" It works great.

One of the other modifications I plan to make is to add a "bacpac" battery. This morning I ordered the battery and the larger rear skeleton door to help in battery life. Another bonus using the bacpac battery is that this will add the ability to connect the camera to a power source, since the camera's port is now in use by the mic adapter.

Another thing that I am currently dabbling in is making the code file from my OBDLINK MX work with dashware for in video telemetry. Unfortunately, so far, I am unable to make dashware and the OBDLINK file work together.

More to come.

I have the same ME-51s mic mounted in the trunk as well but mine is more towards the middle and not right by the license plate. I'm using a Hero 4 Black too. I use my OBDLINK MX and throw the telemetry data into RaceRender. It seems to do the job well.

I might need to try out a few different locations because mine has a little less "bass" than yours.

Thanks! I think RaceRender is the way to go. I'm wasting time with the dashware.

As for your sound, yes, it is different, however I think yours has a wicked effect. Which I guess is the point. I need to get out and do some more testing under conditions where I can stand on it. Those back roads are really not well suited for sampling the FPC at WOT.

Your videos are very well put together..... Nicely done

Geezus that Thunderhill course looks like fun! :clap2:

I just wish I could get a proper gauge on brake pressure. With the OBDLink MX it seems like it records as an on/off switch. The only way I've seen it recorded properly so far is with the AIM SoloDL and I don't think I want to spend that much money just for the brakes and pinpoint accurate laptimes. It would be pretty cool though.
