Helmets - Airflow - Motovlogging

[13 CEME]

What helmets do you find flow the last amount of air?

Ive noticed that its not air flow INTO the helmet that my mic picks up, its more air AROUND the helmet.

Have you mastered the sacred form of motovlogging audio? What helmet do you use? I need a new one anyway

 

[MIcruiser]

I have a shoei RF1200. Its not bad, but im still playing with mic position as I just got it this summer. My 100 subs video is with the new lid if you want to hear it as it is now.

Your bike's screen will have the biggest impact on this.

Air flow is fine, but you want smooth airflow and no buffeting.

Thats the thing, I have a full fairing cruiser, so a lot of the air is blocked already.

Hmm, have you tried putting the microphone in your cheek pad?

I have just released a video about my motovlog setup if that might help you:

I tried it behind the pad with the foam sock on it. I am thinking of cutting a slit in the cheek pad foam and sticking it in there to get it off the shell. Maybe that buffer will help.

I do have my windscreen at the lowest setting I should try raising it. I didn't think about that

I have it right there I also built a deadcat for it which works great until I get on the highway around 45ish on up

There is useful "noise meter" on revzilla you can use while shopping/comparing helmets!

"built"... killing animals is not called 'building'

i ended up taking my mic putting foam over it and then covering the foam with a finger of a nitrile glove. im at work so i can not find the link on youtube (no youtube for me )for the video i learned from. it makes a huge difference in wind noise.

I use my old HJC FG-17 with a sony ECM mic mounted on the chin bar...I barely hear wind in any of my videos. Just keep the mouth vent closed and you will be fine.

Ever since I chin mounted my gopro the wind noise is almost non existent. The only problem is I wear glasses so on cold days there is almost no airflow into the front of the helmet because of the gopro so my glasses fog up like crazy :/

I have a Shoei RF1100 which is the bomb diggity.

I wear glasses and have shaking problems at higher speeds... I did not read all the post so.... But I use a speed and strength 1300 series helmet that works great and a Sony mic. You can take a listen on my channel. vbeast is my channel. One thing I know is never go cheap on a mic. I payed like $35 and people ask what my set up is because it sound so clear.... Not to toot my own horn, but it sounds amazing....

Shoei GT-Air, I can't feel any airflow through the chin vent.

But what sucks about the helmet is that they make it difficult to mount a GoPro on the chin.
