Dogconker Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm assuming from that vid, that the camera is mounted outside. If so you got no chance without some serious kit. You'll have to mount camera inside. Otherwise turn off the sound. The mics aren't much good anyway, if you can you could try an external mic with a muffler?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk yeah I had it inside at the end of the video was better but still could hear noises I've never heard before like squeaking or there is also some type of beeping going on when I play it back but yet don't hear these things when driving I'm just trying to capture the engine sounds more than anything.

Dogconker Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Best bet would be a remote mic mounted in engine bay out of the noise with a muffler on. But you'll be getting into proper kit then. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I know not the same place but this guy managed to reduce it. I take it what a lot of people are doing is have maybe two then and use one for the sound say stuck on the boot out of the wind and the other for just video ?

Gaulson Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 That's quite a good idea having two, have one set central in the car so it will only pick up the sounds you want to hear. The other for the best view :D. A vented back also helps with wind noise if you aren't using one, just remember it isn't waterproof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yea H it was the vented back one I used. But is stuck on the roof so probably the worst place to have it. I'll have a look see what I can find with the sound. Be nice to get a cleaner audio sound of the car and not loads of vwind [emoji1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I use an app on my phone for a dash cam. If you're willing to sit through 2 minutes of straight road darkness I'll stick it here but I'm sure you'd rather wait for something jolly.

Scoobyghost Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ok so apparently the app doesn't store videos. They're only temporary. I need to learn this app a bit more. I'll add one tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Haha [emoji1] I'm still a novice with my camera so shouldn't worry to much I know stants used an app on his phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 This is where I put my camera, will be the same on the other side. Don't think the wind noise is too bad? Also don't know if I shared this but it's when I did the off road day in the Lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Watching that boost gauge was mesmerizing. You got some nice roads up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Off roading looked good. Done a bit before when had to go looking for some escaped dogs that turned oit had got them selves locked in a shed lol but had a good hour and half driving fun for free.

Gaulson Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 The boost gauge is a lovely addition, looks fancy and helps you keep track of what's going on :). The roads up north are really good, I shall have to venture out with my GoPro and do a little mash up video of the best ones. I like off roading, driving on challanging terrain is usually a good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I still think my gauges look better than the old dials. But not to everyone taste I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I bought a Samsung dock from Amazon charges and what not, what size does yours measure ? I've got a dock for an s2 but obviously won't fit the newer full size models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I got a transcend 200, costs about £75 takes upto 30gb cards so records 4hrs, you can read number plates on playback, a lot you can't. Has an impact trigger which stores 10srconds before and 30seconds after impact. I've put a couple of vids up so you can see the quality, though youtube reduces the actual viewing quality, it's better on a laptop.

Scoobyghost Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Excuse the darkness. I think I've worked this out now. Two lemons decided they couldn't see me on a roundabout. http://youtu.be/_KuX1MUkNAI Also a very convenient time to find out my hooter stopped working. Edit: just realised one is a bmw the other an Audi...I see a trend here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems alot to spend when cheaper options will do the same haha edit, also can it easily be removed from the car upon parking up. Some areas I visit/work in are pretty rough.

Dogconker Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah, I tried to of the cheaper options and you can't even tell what car the car in front was let alone the number plate. Settled on this one after much research. It does record sound but none of them record it well unless you pay big money. That's the one I got, best thing is if I get a video of where it is in the car and you'll see size and position. It's not the smallest but for the money it seems to be the best quality for the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
