they need to provide a dial, not a slide level that goes from -10db to +20db. on the Z, i think -4db to -5db could work well.



hey mr.alcheng :hello: have a safe trip! :tup: yah, as noted above, the rode is a great mic, but not for car unless you have other gear to adjust level.

Hmm, not what I wanted to hear. I can't remember, did you try the Audiotechnica that some recommend? Out of all the external mics you've tried what one performed the best? I'm not sure I want to be taping a Tascam to my rear bumper. lol

Good deal Bro :tup:

Busy day with the family today. I was able to stretch the Z's legs after dinner. It was a good little drive. I disappointed a Policeman hiding behind a row of trees (Rosco P Coltrane style) doing radar. I was doing the speed limit and didn't see him until I drove past. He was very sneaky, sneaky.

Now I'm getting caught up on the forum stuff and spending all my rep.

No Z action today for me. I have been hunkered down on laptop/desktop/remote desktop all day prepping, prepping, prepping and repping (this morning). I swear, no matter how much time you get ready for these things, it always seems to be a crunch the last three days. It sort of reminds me of being in college.

At least I have a nice view out the back window -- looking at my Z's all covered up and clean.

washed the Z today with a brand new bottle of meguairs gold standard car shampoo, gotta say this stuff really works wonders as far as bringing out the shine in the paint, now just gotta pick me up a orbital buffer. anyone know if the new porter cable 7424XP is any good, saw it on amazon for $115 and was pretty tempted to grab that sucker up :)

I know the ones your talking about, but this guy was hiding a whole car. Perhaps he was too big to get out of the car? :icon14:

That's a good deal for the Porter Cable. Also check out Detailer Domain, they are a forum sponsor.

A snail went to a Datsun dealer to buy a Z. He told the dealer to remove the "Z" from the car and replace it with an "S".

He wanted people to see him driving by and say "Look at that S-car go!".

kenchan 06-11-2012 09:06 AM

morning everyone. :hello:

dropped off the return package (mic) to ups this am. :)

so while looking for circular polarizers for my gopro, i found this faux sony mic with cable thingie from polar-pro. they demo that the mic does well. i shall give this a try. i'd crack up if this works better than the audiotechnica or the $250 rode mic. hahaha. lol

but if you think about it, most condenser mics (even cheap ones) have relatively flat response. it's really the pre-amp and impedance that make the difference especially when the gopro can not adjust input level. they need to add that feature on their future hero models.

kenchan 06-11-2012 09:07 AM

so im asked wat i want to get for f-day. hummm...
