I’ve been growing my YT finance channel and thought it would be cool to talk finance while on the Harley. I have a decent Power De Wise Omni lav mic. I have an Arai Quantum X helmet. I've watched a few YT vids on mic placement but couldn’t find a spot behind the Arai cheek pad because of the helmet design. So I just tucked the mic inside a cheek pad space to test out the audio (see photo). I had the mic plugged into a Zoom H1 recorder with input set to 50% (probably too high I'm sure).
When I rode, the mic picked up too much of the Harley’s sound and my voice was muffled and too quiet. I tried with the vidor open and closed. The faster I rode the more bike noise the mic picked up. I figured I’d ask your opinion before I start buying more mic’s. Do you think this is because of the mic type or the helmet type?
Thanks in advance for your opinions
