Well , I was expecting company this evening, so I didn't take time to get my camera perfect, but was wanting to see what a short video on 1080P 30 frames per second would do. I hooked up the external microphone, and had it in the helmet, but it was still recording off the external microphone, at least I hope it was because all I could hear was wind. I feel confident that I could record and down load a lot longer videos at that resolution, or maybe 2080P, and 60 frames per second. I am trying one of the long ones on higher 4k resolution that I made yesterday on the old laptop that's around here as of now. Since I know that it's normal to take a good while to get a long video on YouTube, and if the laptop does it well, then I will just let them upload all night if I have to. I warn you ,If you watch this turn your volume down to nothing, or next to nothing. I'm relieved just to get this meesley clip uploaded, but at least I am on the right track now.

Here is one that I took yesterday, and tried using an old laptop that one of the kids left here. It hadn't been used for years, and I think it was either too old to make the video quality great, OR it could be the fact that I down loaded the pictures onto the computer first using an adapter that fit in a standard size SD slot. Maybe if I would have left the card in the computer it would have did better. I had my camera better as far as up, and down, but when I put my visor down, it filmed through it. It also looks like I drive in the middle of the road when I look through a curve. LOL.

I tried mounting my AKASO EK 7000 pro on my helmet and didn't like how recordings showed the lean angle of my helmet but not the bike's. Then I tried attaching it to the windshield but I finally settled on this suction cup mount....
https://www.amazon.com/OctinPris-Windscreen-Universal-Windshield-Camcorder/dp/B07G11FNYV/ref=sr_1_19?crid=3EIUP5WO2T91A&keywords=suction+cu p+camera+mount&qid=1687393642&sprefix=suction+cup+ camera+mount+%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-19 and stuck it to my KPR's gas tank. Just using the internal mic with the camera inside the waterproof casing from AKASO there is still plenty of wind noise but the engine can be heard. For example.... |

I wondered how you got that angle. Very nice. I like your vids and definitely like the sound of your bike, but looking thru that windscreen on your bike distorts too much and I can only watch for so long.

I re did my helmet mount, and was messing with settings, and did not realize that I had to actually set it for external mic. I had seen one option when I first got it for voice record, on, or off. I have it on, assuming it is correct to have it on. I also somehow have it on a 5 minute loop, and I can change the loop time,I haven't figured out how I turned it on, or how to turn loop off. I think I may like it on loop, so I will give it a shot. Should the microphone go in the helmet, or under my jacket, or in a pocket? I just know nothing about any of this. I thought it would be almost like taking, and posting pictures.

You may have to change the quality setting on YouTube before you play it. Mine defaulted to 360P, which is crappy. As soon as I switched to 1080P, man, very nice!

I recorded some today in blocks of 5 minutes, I used the corded microphone, and got absolutely no wind noise. I put the mic down inside my jacket between my tee shirt, and sweat shirt. The motor is most of what you can hear. It did not pick my voice up real good. I have been recording in 1080P at 30 frame per second. I have the very first video that I made after getting the camera in the old laptop now, and one of the 5 minute videos I took today on this phone trying to upload both on YouTube, but on different profiles. I think I will make a fuzzy type thing for my mic, like I seen a guy on YouTube using, and try that next. I also went with a chin mount, but didn't have the camera pointed up quite far enough, even though I thought I did when I sat it up using my phone,and it linked through WiFi. It's new to me, and enjoyable, but I need to get a better way to upload.
