I have tried almost every microphone that was in my budget and in my reach except for the Purple Panda microphone where some people just swear by it.
However I also have heard about Giant Squids and the JK Electronics Mic-J 044 (also featured in the C2W helmet build in august 2017)
I know that CycleCruza uses the Giant Squid lav mic, but that one sounds a little harsh.
Reading some reviews I think that the Mic-J 044 sounds good too, but I still don't know if that's true at speeds above 85mph.
Having used a Philips LFH 91740 mic, which sounds for a fact very good without wind, a 2$ chinese lav mic (that also sounds very good) and a 7$ speedlink microphone, I can't seem to find a microphone that doesn't suck above at least 80mph.
The purple panda isn't available in my country, except for unreasonable prices for shipping. I can only ship it to Germany on Amazon.de, but not to Belgium.
The only thing that comes even close to a motovloggers helmet microphone is the JK Electronics Mic-J 044 (which is of course used in C2W's video). I'm keen to try that out, but what if it doesn't work out? Do I have to get a new helmet or is my camera setup just unusable to vlog normally? Even my microphone is packed in with foam and fur, in front of my mouth, within the chin curtain.
There's a dude I know who's subbed to my channel and vice versa
(example video: )
who uses an FDR X3000 with a cheapo Rusee omnidirectional mic, and as you can hear in the video, it sounds spotless and clear. At 43 mph it also sounds better than mine lol, or is it because he's riding a naked? He just has it clipped behind his chin curtain.
Anyways, I'm receiving my new mic tomorrow so I can check that out. I hope this will be the last microphone I'll ever buy
