I recently saw a VholdR video of a guy that did some tests with his camera. He taped his camera to his bikes windscreen so that all but the lens was behind the screen. I thought his noise reduction from wind results was worth trying to come with something on my own.
I used an empty calcium pill bottle and fashioned it in such a way as to slide over the camera when installed on my helmet. Fastened it to the helmet with industrial strength Velcro. The camera will also slide out of the V mount without removing the wind shield.
I just finished it, and it's late, so I haven't had a chance to test it. It ain't pretty, but if it works, I'll worry about aesthetics later.
Tested it this morning. Wind noise was slightly better, but not enough to make the setup worth the hassle. Going to scrap it.
I guess the over sensitivity of the electret mic and the way the sound circuit is built in general is just going to make it impossible to overcome the gain and distortion. The whole circuit needs redesigned.
I found just turning the volume down on my player helped quite a bit, turning volume up via the speaker on the taskbar and not the player worked pretty well.
Moderator, please delete these two identical posts.
Thanks
Done.
