What did you do with your Z today III

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 =

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 )

hahaha! i have a nakamichi cassette deck, DAT recorder, MD player, first Discman sold in the US... but no 8track or turntables...


thanks for the link. it's not the mic, it is the Hero2's input that is the gating item. that mic in your link is a mono, i think. hero2's uses stereo input so the mics i tried were all 2 mics built into one mic housing.

if the vid is going to be used as a blackbox (my primary use) no need to have the audio recorder onboard. i only plan on doing these vid edits with audio when im taking the car out to somewhere new or some special occasion.

do you know any good small cameras that have steady-cam like feature?
my Flip camera is hard to take steady shots while walking.

im thinking about making that monopod handle for my gopro soon, but also looking at getting a second camera to do rolling shots of my z from my wife's car. gopro would work well, but also want to look at other options.

Turntable…






During my last year in highschool… I was responsible for the B&W photos for the school stuffs and yearbook. One time the editor(also a student) gave me 3 rolls of 24, at around 2245, I was studying in a boarding school and lights out at 2300, he said 'Sorry abouy being so late but I need them by tomorrow morning…'

I was like ~~WTF~~

Ran to the dark-room, came out with 72 photos in a tad more than 90mins.... the quality was good, but at that moment, I can't use the usual textbook way… lol

I'm not sure why the lights out at 2300 was a problem if you're working in a darkroom
