Your Motovlog Helmet Setup SUCKS. Try this instead…

[@CincyNeid]

Pro Tip : If you have the Rx for the Mic 2, you can use Mic 1 for your Helmet, use Mic 2 for the exhaust, then turn down the gain for the exhaust . . . . But it does sound solid.

[@Ride_0n]

The pocket 3 works with 2 Mic 2s, I would think the Action would as well?

[@AbyssRPM]

The 2 mic only works for the action 5 aka using 2 wireless mics you can only use 1 on the action 4

[@CincyNeid]

@@AbyssRPM if you have the full Mic 2 setup, you can use both. On both. Ask me how I know....

[@AbyssRPM]

@@CincyNeid wait so you need both mic and the receiver? So the one that costs like 350? For both of them to work on the action 4? Wahhhh oh dude say less

[@CincyNeid]

@@AbyssRPMyea. I use my mic 2 with my DLSR, but if you NEED to use 2 mics on your OA4 there are work arounds. That’s my point.

[@chaseontwowheels]

Can confirm. I've been using this for a few weeks now and its' been working amazing at all speeds.

[@cursedmika]

Quick little tip for when you glue the mount on the helmet. Before sticking it on, grab yourself a hairdryer and heat up the adhesive tape for a quick 10-15 seconds or so... Doing this will make sure there will be no airbubbles or less sticky parts when you stick it on. The kind of tape they use for these mounts get less sticky over time. Even when they are packaged well.. Heating them up basicly makes them brand new again. Last thing we want is to lose our brand new $400 camera when we couldve prevented it by something as simple as this!

[@812moto]

Oc: the wireless setup would be awesome for me. Right now I have a fully wired setup in my shoei x15 and I constantly have to stuff wires back in behind the pads. The wireless setup would be game changing

[@Six5Rider]

The DJI and the mic 2 have been a game changer

[@M19cM]

Lol Ruroc sucks, would not wear that crap on a bicycle let alone a motorcycle

[@MrAxlingen]

Have you tried Ruroc as well? Would you care to share? I've tried the Berserkr, but that mostly for ATV riding. It wasn't good for motorcycles. Too much wind noise for sure.

The new audio sounds like it has been through an overly aggressive low pass filter and probably a compressor to bring the levels back up. Your voice is much more clear with the old set up. But kudos for trying new stuff for everyone to see and hear!

[@KORCLE]

Man this was helpful!

[@vanchb14tube]

Just got the Mic 2 last week and was trying to work out the best mounting solution. Great info and perfect timing!!

[@chiguy_]

OC - always like the idea of less weight with taking away wires. I know it is just a few ounces but for longer rides that adds up FAST. as for how the audio sounds now - I think some time with testing you will find it just right. keep up the fun can't wait to see what the next few riding vids with this setup and see what you tweaked, if anything, after you hear it and get feedback. glad to see you are okay from the wreck and keep up the fun cheers.

[@marioplessers]

OC wireless setup for me. I´m going to do this when I get my new Shoei helmet. Thanks for all the info Chase.

[@Fourwedge]

I did this with the osmo A3 and the DJI Mic (1) on my Shoei glamster last year. It works great. The main difference is that the mic 1 isn't blue tooth. It still records wirelessly, you just sync to the video/audio separately during editing. It's simple. I have my setup on my channel. Great video and yea, this setup is awesome.

[@garo919]

i’ve been dreaming of an osmo motovlog setup since the release of the mic mini. although it does not have onboard recording, its very unlikely that you’d need it given that the mic would never be 400m away from your helmet cam. you also mentioned that u used to rock a double mic setup and that would still be a great idea so you could fine tune the engine sound by itself like those “raw engine sound” videos they’ve been advertising with the mic mini

[@itsGuroo]

i just started motovlogging! DJI all the way!! still building my channel up and i can’t wait till your project is finished:)

[@RealTalkPowersports]

Thanks for this video bro! Definitely helping us to capture all of our adventures!

[@RideWithCheapy]

Incredible video and very informative! Thank very much sir!

[@matt_kelly]

This is inspiring me to improve my helmet setup! The problem is I do more off-road, so wind noise is still an issue with offroad helmets/goggles. Plus I like the convenience of the 1-click recording, though GoPros don't do a good job with that and external mics. I will stick with the wired setup for now I think, but hopefully it works out for you. PS - sorry to hear about running into a car, though it seems like you are OK at least.

[@christoffjv]

Brilliant!!!! Great video!!!! Can't wait to sign up and vlog myself!!!

When you use these peel and stick adhesives, try taking a hair drier and warm it all up once installed. The glues will set up way better.

[@Fragasrides]

The sound is not as clean as it was, but for a fully wireless experience, it's amazing! Very clean setup. Ordering my Mic 2 today :) Thanks for the 100€ spend 😂

[@adamcarlson4922]

Wireless setup sounds good, but I think the video out of your insta360 on your bars looks quite a bit better than the DJI on the chin mount.

[@sambam007]

That 32bit float mic doing its job well cutting clipping and wind noise

[@AntiParallali]

I like the DJI mic also and it does sound good but still not better than a wired mic. Even with turning the gain down I cant seem to get it not to clip, probably because its so close to my mouth inside the helmet. Nothing I can do about that but wait until they make it smaller I guess

[@MrKryss2k]

Looks good - I prefer minimal wiring - looks cleaner and less to go wrong 👍 My only nitpick would be - why didn't you mount the Cardo diagonally to match the graphics? I'd probably paint or wrap it so it blends in more as well. Also I think a smoked visor might look better than the chrome one but it's your helmet, so do what you think looks good 👍❤ OC

[@YoshiRambles]

These set up videos definitely help! TY

[@burrito-town]

Sadly there’s not enough room in the chin area of a Shoei RF1400 for a relatively gigantic DJI Mic. It feels like I’m trying to fit a shoe box in front of my lips and I end up with the dead cat inside of my mouth. Very uncomfortable. Regardless, I still get plenty of wind noise with that mic. There’s another limiting factor too: the DJI Mic’s battery is too small. If I don’t remember to charge it after every ride, it’s likely going to die during the next ride. This is why I have to ride with an external battery hooked up to my action camera. On long rides I even have to replace the external battery which is 10,000 mAh. It’s annoying. I am dying for a helmet manufacturer to finally put a DJI or GoPro camera in a helmet with a Cardo comms system as well. Feels like motorcycle helmets are stuck 15 years in the past.

[@C_R_O_M________]

That's why I'm trying to get the Insta360 action pro 2 instead. It can use your intercom's Bluetooth and setup and get your motovlogging sound from that microphone.

[@thecorporategypsy]

Have you tried the DJI mini 2 mic? I have the Shoei and had the same question as you

[@Simlife101]

@@C_R_O_M________why they don’t give us this feature in the packtalk edge because not every helmet allows for the mic 2

[@Guason402tv]

I have ny DJI attached to the right side of my helmet. I Bought the XL DJI magnet and glued it to the out side, I then run a lave to the front while hiding the cable. I do that so if I take my helmet off I can just disconnect and continue to record or pick up exterior sound just by unplugging. I think I'm going to permatily attach an XL magnet on the inside to put the mic with out the Lav inside.

[@MinnowMoto]

I like the wireless setup just to stay water night. But I had the same problem as you at the end. Turn the camea off and loose the mic when when turn it back on. Bummer.

[@TobyNorthEN]

The JB Weld is a brilliant hack and I've used it since seeing your first motovlog helmet setup. It's awesome!!!!

[@C_R_O_M________]

The way he used it is actually dumb. He could just take the 3M tape out and epoxy the damned thing straight on the helmet without making such a mess.

[@TobyNorthEN]

@@C_R_O_M________ maybe you should do a video explaining this and showing folks because sometimes there are always other methods. There is tons of creativity in the motovlogger community. Rather than throw shade, offer a suggestion to better the process.

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@TobyNorthEN It's pretty straight forward: you scrape the existing 3M tape and epoxy the part on the helmet. If, for some reason, you want to keep the 3M padding you scrape the middle part (maybe carve a circular hole in the middle of that 3M tape) and fill it with epoxy. Then attach it to the helmet with something that keeps it there for the needed duration for activating the two part epoxy mixture. Done! It's not exactly rocket science!

[@TobyNorthEN]

@@C_R_O_M________, it briefs well in words. If it's not rocket science, why not make content for it? If you're saying it, it's possible others would like to SEE the visual process.

[@C_R_O_M________]

@@TobyNorthEN Because I KNOW that filming and editing a clip is not easy (been there, done that) and, as you said, it might seem easy in words but not that easy in practice. But seriously, do you need a step-by-step tutorial to apply epoxy at the back of a helmet mount and keep it on the helmet while the epoxy is curing?

[@JoshDerGrueneFrosch]

Nice setup! Only thing that would keep me from using it is the fact that you won’t get audio from the cardo to the cam to record friends coms

[@CaliMotoTV]

Hmmm, I'm looking at that camera to replace my gopros. And that mic setup has me rather interested because my new R10 helmet I don't want a camera on. But I can put the camera on the bike, especially on track and have the mic in it helmet...🤔

[@Scarletpimp72]

Some great tech advancements to take advantage of, What about recording wirelessly straight to insta x4 from the cardo? also live streaming 360?

[@milemarkermike7234]

Nice video. I do a lot of vlogging for my youtube channel and like you had to do a lot of hit and miss on the audio side. Looking at your videos. I love your audio. But I don't see you riding with others. I don't see how this setup picks up other riders in the conversation. Presently I use a double y trs cable. The main end plugs into my gopro where the two y's go inside my helmet plugs into a 360 high quality microphone. And placed center over one of my speakers so when a I'm communicating with a fellow rider the microphone picks it up and sends that to my gopro. And when when you see my helmet the other y plugs into a microphone that is routed to my mouth. It sounds pretty good. So while I like your idea. But that is my only problem with your setup. How do I get other riders on the recording onto my gopro using your idea. So if you see my most recent video you see two mics. One that is dedicated to my pack talk edge and the other that is dedicated along with the microphone center of the left ear making my audio recording complete. Chris Caliente youtube channel had a video how he sets his up. But he didn't show specifics like you did how he went about setting his up. Can't wait for your reply!

[@robwessels6899]

Sounds decent with visor up

[@JaredWayne]

Sounded good to me even when you had the visor open. I also love their Star Wars helmets but too bad they didn't have a 3x option as the 2x is just under the size of my fat head. OC, and the wireless is much better imo as I ride in all weather.

I had to do a size up when I went to the EOX from my Atlas 4.0.

[@Kirkster131]

The Mic 2 transmitter is pretty thick. Won’t fit in my X15 since it is really close to your chin/mouth. Will fit in my R10. Won’t fit in my KYT KX-1 Race.

[@nknave]

My riding/recording style is to turn the camera on for a few minutes, then off at places of interest without having to stop at all. Does the wireless mic remotely turns on when powering the camera so that the audio comes from the wireless mic 2 or do you have to tuen both devices on and check the screen to see if it's actually picking up? This has been my question and biggest concern before upgrading to the action 4 or 5Pro with the Wireless Mic 2. Thanks for this video and it's content. I hope you can answer my doubts. Regards and ride safe.

[@Smallbore2wheels]

OC: this set up is definitely more attainable than the super high end one from last video. Still a bit steep for a lot of ppl but more doable and simple.

Hello Chase, I would like to ask for an advice since you are a master in these things. Do you recommend using the purple panda mic within the cheek pads with the dead cat on or just outside with the dead cat on? I am asking this as I cannot find a proper position for me. If it is outside with the dead cat on it picks some wind, if it is in the cheek pad with the dead cat on near my mouth it is sounding a bit quieter and I may have to shout. Which one is what?

[@BeginnerBikeLife]

Are you using a hight performance battery for the DJI, like an equivalent to the Enduro White battery?

What is the little extension from the chin mount to the dji magnetic mount?

[@monkdiaries]

[@ReevyTCG]

Since I switched to the DJI Mic 2 and DJI Osmo Action 4, I don't think I'd use anything else for motovlogging, it's way up there in terms of quality and ease of use. Sure Insta360 is still great for their 360 cameras, but for motovlogging, I think DJI is the way to go! Hope you're all good after your accident.

[@C_R_O_M________]

Actually it's the other way around. Insta360's action pro 2 connects to your (potentially) pre-existing intercom and uses your intercom's mic to get your voice input. That's a far better option than this setup.

[@rekotcher]

Helmet + Visor looks sick but audio isnt as good as before i would say... Dont get me wrong its not bad but the old was superior

[@Dexx1s]

Definitely, but having the Action 4 actually be waterproof on the helmet is great. It's more for convenience than audio quality.

[@chaseontwowheels]

Yep totally agree here. I'm still on the fence if I go back to the old setup. This one just makes it SO EASY to get decent audio.
