We suddenly had a warm day on November 8 so I took my 2024 Kawasaki W800 out for a final ride of 2024.
I tested one more location for my lav mic, I clipped to one of the tie down hooks near the right side suspension. I get a good balance of exhaust, wind, and engine sound here, but I still have issues with clipping. I'm guessing the lav mic just can't handle high sound pressure levels.
I really wish the GoPro Hero 12 had audio controls to adjust gain. I wrote to GoPro but never heard back about this. What's the point of any better audio equipment if they'll still apply their own gain and risk clipping?
My goal is to avoid spending lots on gear and keep things simple.
Anyway, that's a wrap for my 2024 riding season. See you all next year!
