Microphone Options? Also, Hi!!

Hey guys,

I'm new and this is my first post around here. Recently purchased a Xiaomi Yi Camera and purchased a bunch of mounts, adapters and so on to get my setup the way I like it. Have tried a side mount which worked beautifully with no fault, I prefer a chin mount setup which I've just finished and will be doing some test footages of that soon.

Moving on... I know for the majority that use GoPros you can purchase a 3.5mm mic adapter to use any standard mics to use with your camera. Well given that I have a Xiaomi Yi, that ain't going to work for me. So I am questioning what other methods do people do/use in order to record voice and bike noise! I'm really after a clean setup with less cable mess as well as nothing bulgy/obvious. What are my options? Do I just run a microphone and cable from the helmet, down my jacket, to my smart phone and record that way? Or is there any way I can do it without having my head attached to my pants pocket via a cable.

I wanted to post a video of the Xiaomi Camera but I'm new and need 15 posts!! Goddamnit.
 
Welcome to the community!

Use the smart phone to start with but you may want to move onto a dedicated recorder later.
 
Welcome to the forum, as Swiss said, external recorder, start with your phone maybe, or go in the deep end and get a proper external like a Zoom.

Feel free to pop a welcome post in the Introduce Yourself area, let us know more about you and let the other Aussies know they're not alone down under :)
