I accidentally blank repped you, Mr. Onzedge. Hope you and Opie are doing well on the road to recovery this fine hump day. On a dog note, I am about 2-3 weeks overdue taking Athena to the groomer. I dropped her off this morning and felt so bad about her matted paws that I gave them permission to just shave her legs if they needed to. :shrugs:

There are no accidental reps!!!

Opie and I are on the mend. He is all stitched up and got his teeth worked on yesterday -- we are in for $1,400 so far, but the owner of Cujo is paying, which is the least he can do. He's a nice guy and highly cooperative, so it's hard to be pissed at him. Plus he's a photographer by trade (even though he's a Nikon guy which does not make him a bad person necessarily).

Thanks also to everyone who extended their best wishes for Opie. He's a great little guy and just wants everyone to get along.

I was kidding around. I am a Canon guy only because my first SLR was a Canon FTB that was handed down to me when I was a teenager. Canon/Nikon -- both excellent.

Nikon guy here too……


Good Morning Everyone!!!


I don't drink coffee… so I have one less chance to 'meet' that kind of 'Coffee A$$-O'… lucky me…

Mr.kenchan, are you using the mic/digital-recording for in-cabin recording?? I am not sure the problem you have with your previous setup is from the mic or the gopro itself, but does the mic noice-cancellation feature??


Click this one, might be useful ==> Olympus_145055_ME_52W

kenchan

hello, mr.alcheng! yes, im using the digital recorder for in-cabin recording. it's just a limitation of the hero2's audio input. there's just no comparison when you have a dedicated audio recorder. it is a night/day difference.

the setups i tried was:
a. gopro built-in mic - terrible sound, but okay for video.
b. gopro mic input using several mics - low sensitivity, too much noise.
c. gopro mic input using mic + preamp - sound is better, but hero's limter/filter, etc activates... and me being a music guy, it doesn't sound good to me.

d. gopro built-in mic to use as sync reference track + audio recorder =

alcheng

Mr.kenchan, you can check out that Olympus mic, the feedbacks are good and it doesn't cost too much, I think it will work very good with the hero's limiter/filter being OFF.

I agree the (d) you use give the best result, but isn't it a but clumsy to have to start/stop two different machine at the same time and the editing afterward?? (I'm an optical guy, you know, so all these post editing sounds like space-tech stuffs.to me… like your Z cabin… LOL )

Well, not everyone can be perfect.


Kidding! Kidding!

Edit - for the record, I own both Nikon and canon. Amazingly, my house hasn't exploded into a million pieces while both are kept under the same roof.

Hi, mr.gale! I'm really not attached to my cameras.

GaleForce

Good afternoon Mr.kenchan

Are you talking about your Nikon-something-or-other camera?

I'm not attached to them either. I had some old Canon glass from my film days so it made sense to stay with a Canon DSLR. For walking around I bought a Canon G-10 (I need to sell it), then Nikon came out with the J1. I bought one to try out. It's a nice casual use camera.

You can't go wrong with Nikon or Canon, they are almost the same thing.

That's a great guy to offer paying for the bills. Absolutely right that its the least he could do, but its also more than you could expect from a lot of people in this world. I can forgive a lot when people do the right thing right away and without being coerced into it. It just says a lot about someone's character.

Glad to hear the recovery is progressing well
