mic placement in a nolan n104 ?

[Yorkshire Fazer]

really struggling to find a decent place to put my microphone on my helmet.
everywhere seems to give far too much wind noise and not great pickup of my voice (but some would say that's a good thing!)
so far i have tried....
in front of my mouth (bad idea!)
just inside the right cheek pad
and
pushed into the foam near the ear "void"
any help would really be appreciated !
thanks

Maybe sealing off the bottom of the helmet would cut the wind noise inside. You could just use some thin cloth or something.

Inside the upper lining where the visor meets the helmet with the mic facing the visor is where I put mine in my top of helmet vlogs

thanks
will give it a go.
where i have it at the moment works ok but anything over 35-40mph the wind noise is really bad (bearable below that).

good call !
got it just on my forehead at the moment and it cuts the wind noise down a lot.
have to speak louder, but that's no real problem.
the wind noise now only starts to get to be a problem at 55+
would putting an extra wind "sock" over the mic (with some foam etc.) help any ?

Hmm... that would miffle the voice audio more.. Is the mic sencitivity on "2" And is the mic in the lining at the visor as far to the side as it can go while still being in front of the visor? My mic is at the corner of the visor almost to my temple and Im not having wind problems. Your voice does seem a bit soft even with that placement..

thanks for your reply.
at the moment it is in the middle of my forehead and my sensitivity is on 1 bar (on my drift hd).
i'll adjust and test again
really want to get this right so i can vlog whilst at motorway speeds if needed.

went out for a ride to band practice last night and the mic positioned above my right temple / eyebrow works ok up to about 60mph ish.
i doubt i'll be vlogging at any speed above that, but would like to improve it if i can.
might try a bit of extra foam around the mic and see if that does any good.
unless anyone has any other / better suggestions ?

Check Wilks89 he did some heavy Modding to his mic and works well past 60
