How to record incredible in flight audio!

[@TuckerGott]

If you are looking to build a paramotor helmet, this is the video for you! As someone who films almost every flight, getting high quality audio reliably is super important to me. In this video, I included a lot of tips that I have found over the years of refining my helmet setup. Creating the perfect helmet takes a bit of work but the result is well worth it!

[@freck9669]

Tucker Gott yes sir

[@VA-lj4eb]

I only just got my new helmet in the mail a couple days ago, along with the Sena 10R. Some pretty smooth timing with the video upload, while I’m piecing my helmet together. xP Definitely some good ideas to consider o: At the moment I’m using Sena speakers in my detachable ear covers. Definitely considering getting the muffs though. The helmet’s also got premade holes for them too which I didn’t even realize until it came in the mail. Was hidden on the helmet with little plastic covers. Edit: Just a quick update, I later found that the premade holes are for the optional visor that can be included for the helmet. I had to drill holes for the muffs, and the results are pretty sweet. :) The type of helmet I’m currently using is the ICARO Nerv. :) It’s been a fun ride, and can’t wait to see more of your adventures Tucker! :)

Hey.. for my audio i just tore apart some gaming headphones and mounted speakers into my earmufs.. i mounted them with TPU(flexible) 3d peinted adapters for stable audio.. they are amazing for music situations in the air..

It's great to see a young man of your generation with the initiative, goals and intelligence that you demonstrate regularly. Too many of our younger generations have been handicapped by new technologies by letting the tech do all the thinking or using it in ways that degrade the person. You however use the tech as tools to expand yourself. You remind me of one of my sons in particular whom I'm very proud of, as I'm sure your parents must be. You're a great role model for young and old alike. Thanks again for taking us along!

[@afterburner94]

Tucker video is a great resource for older GoPros. BUT for everyone coming to watch years after this video, the Go Pro Hero 12 Black now has FINALLY some built-in Bluetooth functionality that allows you to use any BT microphone. I know that some family members are using Sena's BT mesh microphones with their GoPro 12 and it works flawlessly.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

I do not miss doing this on my helmet back in the day. The Sena wire solder sucked. Have you thought about testing the Hero 8's media mod with a regular lavalier microphone in order to get rid of sticking that adapter in your helmet? Also the way the adapter plugs into the Hero 8 seems subpar compared to the 7.

[@TuckerGott]

The main reason why I had to build this helmet was because they put the port on the opposite side of the 8! 😂 Then I realized that the port is also perpendicular compared to the 7. Definitely subpar. I was initially excited about the media mod but not so much anymore. The adapter does the same function but I think it's still more streamline than the media mod.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

@@TuckerGott gosh maybe one day there will be a simple plug and play camera. I guess the only interest of the media mod is seeing if 1. Audio is good enough with a lav mic to avoid solder and 2. Not having to burn a hole for my adapter. I might give it a shot if I'm feeling frisky on money. I don't think you mentioned but did you buy a 2nd hand hero 8 battery door so the plug could go through or cut your own?

[@TuckerGott]

Good call! I bought an aftermarket one on Amazon. The battery is pretty tight though, I think you could get away without a door at all.

[@MarkHuneycutt]

Right on. Thanks

[@kellenmoore3304]

To those wondering about the Sena boom microphone type: I just got the Sena 10R and it came with the "pronged" version boom mic that Tucker mentions. I think it's the only version available (as of today). Good news: when I first recorded myself using my iPhone connected via Bluetooth to the Sena, the recording quality was poor, at best. I though all was lost. But then I installed the Sena app on my phone, went into the settings within the app, and turned on "HD Audio". After changing this setting and restarting the Sena, the recording audio quality is great, just like in Tucker's videos!

[@jamiegoodreid]

Does this mean you don't need to splice the boom mic or use the audio adapter? I'm guessing you can just add the 2 together?

[@juricazpg]

I wrote to Tucker where I asked him how he uses Active Noise Cancellation of Sena when he connected a microphone directly to the Sena input and a GoPro input. However, I see that you have used the intelligent variant. You took advantage of the noise cancellation from Sen and recorded audio over the phone using the HD audio option. Great. If we use the Tucker configuration, we can have an audio from the GoPro camera that is not filtered and audio recorded in the phone that is filtered. That's the secret!

If you're able to pair a Sena 10R with one of those small bluetooth to 1/8" plug receivers you might be able to get the Sena Audio Pack + Hero 4 advantages (sidetones, recording conversations, no soldering) with a Hero 8. The setup would be bluetooth to 1/8" receiver + GoPro mic adapter + Hero 8. I don't own a Sena 10R so I can't try it out myself.

[@Quentin314]

After building several helmets with a relatively clean look and increased durability using 5 and 6 wire cables instead of the sena wires, they are not going to chafe and break. One thing that can allow for all audio when using the intercom or phone call on the sena is to put the lapel mic into the earcup and run that connection to the gopro as described in the video. This allows for capturing sidetone ( my voice ) and and speaker audio ( other people ) into the gopro audio. The results are similar to the sena backpack. If vlogging, you can either use a phone connection to trigger sidetone in the sena or install a 3 position switch where the mic from the boom is in one position ( down ) and the lapel mic in the another position ( up ), the third position turns off mic input (middle).

[@FreshPanda97]

why is everyone using this old SENA 10R? Can you explain that to me? Thought about buying a Sena 50 for paramotoring

[@Pilot_Marc]

Hi Tucker, Have you ever tried a throat mike? (I have extremely good experience with such on flight radio communications. You can almost eliminate wind and engine noise.). Is such compatible with your other equipment? (Only woman have the disadvantage, that such mics do not work quite well. Therefor such would only be an option for men.) With kind regards, Marc

[@dsheffield2010]

If I’m not mistaken, and I know this is an old video, but instead of splicing into the mic of the Cena for the new GoPro’s, you can actually splice into the speakers in the ears in use that instead, and it would give you the ability to have conversations played through the GoPro as well as talkback.

[@ing.marekazari1027]

If your gopro has an input connector for mic, you can buy little bluetooth reciver and conect it to gopro.. then you can connect from sena to bluettoth receiver/trasmitter via universal device pairing menu in Sena.. The reciever then may start behave like next intercom and gopro will hear everything you say. (filtered sound, no engine sounds) .. There is possibility, that you will need to do something with signal level (fom componnet audio to mic), but that can be managed.

Soldering tip: get some blu tack, stick your wires in so they’re in position where you want to solder them, then solder away 👍 My setup is very similar to yours however I’ve managed to make it record convos had over Bluetooth. 2 mics. Mic 1 - Main audio feed is a standard lav wrapped around the Sena boom which goes straight to my camera*. Mic 2 - Sena mic for communication. Sena Mic > Sena 10R > headphone adapter > 2 way jack splitter. One end goes to a set of headphones the other end goes to a voice recorder when I need to record a convo. Turn on side tone in the settings for both audio feeds. For 98% of my flying I really only need the lav mic but it’s always good to have music too 😉 *I have a Sony X3000 with a mic port straight in. The only difference is GoPros need the adapter. It’ll be interesting to see how PPG Smoke’s new system works.

[@milesb4231]

Isn't this basically creating two separate systems for recording instead of a single one that goes to your camera?

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

MilesB MilesB indeed it is but I can choose which one I’m recording with. The lapel mic I use just for standard vlogging. I use the lav mic 98% of the time as the Sena just isn’t clean audio and I’m not always doing dual vlogs.

Would it make sense to use a helicopter helmet? The cost of a used one isn’t that far off a high-end Giro helmet, but much of the audio setup is already installed, and since soldering is already a part of the job, it’s probably a wash.

So I have a question that maybe you can or can't answer, but does the Gro Pro 7 and 8 have Bluetooth capability and if so couldn't you just connect audio via Bluetooth? Reason I ask is I have the GroPro 4 and thinking about adding the Bluetooth pack (yes I know I am seriously behind the times with GroPro, lol) but I am just getting into paramotoring and purchased a Helmet with Micro Avionics Bluetooth and radio capabilities so was thinking of upgrading the GoPro camera itself or getting the pack but didn't want to hardwire in a microphone if I don't have to. Thanks!! Excellent Videos by the way!

[@GregAnthonyHarris]

Quick question dude, rather than soldering the mic wire in which goes to the gopro couldn't you just use a dual headphone splitter attached to the Sena audio adapter and then run a male to male wire to the Gopro adapter from there? The Sena Audio adapter will be outputting a sound signal so why not just use that feed?

[@gwtdrago]

I can’t believe after having the technology since 2014 to connect a GoPro to a Sena, that a soldier and hack is the only way to get a setup to record mic audio when using Sena and a modern GoPro. I looked for new GoPro Hero4 and I can’t find any. They all seem to be refurbs with horrible customer reviews. Tucker, I think it’s time that you endorse a GoPro, Tucker Gott edition, that will connect seamlessly (and solderlessly) with Sena and other headset audio devices. I’d buy it. Heck, almost every paramotor pilot would buy it. Oh, and if you hand sign them, you can charge double. I know Michael Thompson would for a hand signed version. 😂

[@joshuaharper8307]

Have you looked into the Team Wendy Exfil helmet that is compatible with Peltor headset systems? Might be something you want to try in the future that won't take so much customization to the helmet which could lead to structural failure.

[@JRSkola]

Completely agree. I went with an Ops-core FAST Bump helmet for the exact same reason. shop.gentexcorp.com/ops-core-fast-bump-high-cut-helmet/ Comes with an NVG mount for mounting GoPro, just need to buy a 3d printed adapter. www.shapeways.com/product/RZBAUKBWH/gopro-session-3rd-person-system?optionId=66470733&li=more-from-shop I went with the Bose Triport Tactical Headset II instead of Peltors (very similar) to get stereo audio in/out (to listen to tunes) and the talk-through system so you can hear on the ground without removing the earcups.

[@skyflux]

I'm using the "plug-in" pronged version that comes with the 20S EVO (not the one with the small wire extension, which also comes with the 20S), and I believe (subjectively, yes) that it sounds as good as the round version from earlier versions. So, I think it's possible that not all pronged versions are bad. YMMV

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Yep, I got 2 "Pronged" version Mics with my Sena 30K. I will be testing them both.

@@TuckerGott I think I've seen a video where you told Jaclyn to make sure she was talking into the correct side of the mic. But if not, maybe you were speaking into the wrong side? On my pronged version I have to speak into the side opposite of the side having a nub on the base. I'm almost positive you know that though, so I'm just writing this out to maybe help out others.

Wow dude your channel is awesome you can record outside even during quarantine

[@alekorn]

There's a device called "laryngophone", or the "throat microphone", which was used by pilots of the ww2, and it designed to completely negate all the motor noise, because it picks sound just from the throat vibrations. There are some modern models designed now, so the quality should be much better in comparison to the early military ones

[@vmlinuxz]

I had to look for a while but I saw a guy say it didn't work at 40mph on his motorcycle because it picked up too much noise. Can you find anyone with an actual recorded test of these on a motorcycle or paramotor?

[@arnauddreanphotographe990]

you can use your gp10 with your hero9 to have sidetone! it s what I do!

[@JRSkola]

I have nearly an identical setup; except the actual headphones. The only headset I could find, that has actual stereo sound input/output, AND active noise cancellation, is the Bose Triport Tactical Headset II. (www.bose.com/en_us/military/triport_tactical_headset_s2.html) All the rest have 'mono-in' and then plays that back to both ears. Essentially you're either getting Left channel (or Right depending on how you wire it) or mixed L+R on the same channel. Probably not a big factor when you're making KZbin videos, but for the most part I'm flying around listenin' to my tunes. Also, the TTH is really rugged (made for military tanks and heavy wheeled vehicle operator use), it has external amplification of quiet sounds (so you can hear really well when you're NOT flying), and is much smaller than similar noise cancelling headphones.

Over 400 jumps. licensed pilot. Better than average canopy skills. Live in Hawaii... (Regular winds at 15-25 most days) What is YOUR recommendation on Paramotor and wing? Keep in mind, not looking for super performance, I am a cruiser. Cost is not a major issue. Sincerely, Locked Down in Maui.

What about listening to music? And recording videos secondary? How would that work? Can you listen to tunes when you fly with this rig?
