Track day audio help please.

[Andy Tims]

The audio on my track videos is poor. Cracky & distorted despite using an external mic.

It's just a cheap mic laid loose in the little tray where the din power socket is.

Can any please recommend a good mic & maybe a better mounting solution please?

I use one of these with this windsock on it, mounted under the dash. This is all connected to a Gopro 7 or 9 using the Gopro USB adapter.

You'll probably need an audio extension lead but it seems to work well.

Here's a clip from Cadwell Park earlier on the year.

Edit again - Links fixed and updated to say I'm using these with a Gopro

Thanks

I use very similar to the above. Can show you at the next pub meet Andy... (Queens head/Surrey Sevens)

I use a rode lavalier mic with an eBay deadcat on it. This is connected to my GoPro 9 via the media mod. 

I clip the mic to the bottom edge of the passenger seat, so it’s nice and low out of the wind.

I use the race chrono pro app for data overlays with a racebox mini as the GPS source.

I use an external mic on my 360X3 - inexpensive thing from Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/05xuLREk

I wire it to my rear cycle wing - see pic. 

It sounds okay - here are a couple of my YouTube videos where I'm using it:

I went on a journey with my attempts for decent audio on a track day.  Have a read here:
