Hello From Oklahoma!

[SomeLoser]

Hello everyone, I go by Cruisin' Loser on YouTube and Slim Jim on the road. I ride a 1987 Honda Shadow VT1100. I have always wanted to motovlog since I started watching M13 almost 7 years ago. Last year I was finally able to buy my first bike and just a few months ago got my first camera (Sony Exmor R or something like that.) I only have one vlog that is unfortunately not on my bike. I'm currently undergoing audio issues. I'm guess the wind noise and my loud mouth is a little too much for my mic to handle even though its under my cheekpad. Anyone have any tips for this? I'm recording audio though a smartphone app.

Welcome to the forum!

You could try tying another later if foam over the mic or if you have room, a deadcat?

I found that wind noise was worse in my cheek pad. I record at highway speed (75mph and up) sometimes and it's very difficult to control wind shear. Part of it is the helmet. Part is mic location. I found better results moving the mic to the chin of my helmet closer to my mouth. Currently I have the mic embedded in a block of acoustic foam and the finger of a nitrile glove rubber banded over it. It really does dampen wind noise, but I have to be careful and annunciate when I talk or it sounds muddy. Sounds great at city speed, though (35-50mph)

I will probably go that route as I am mostly on the highways. Thank you for your tips.

Ive found only one and thats where I got the cheek pad idea from. I haven't had much of a chance to look around much

Welcome to the forum mate. Get a lapel mic, put a mic filter over it and rubber band that down. Get some fur and rubber band that over the top.

Use a kitchen sponge, cut it to size and no more wind noise

Welcome to the site as well
