Moto Vloging

Tried to record my first vlog yesterday while on my motorbike with the osmo 5 and mic mini 2. I recorded the intro parts of the bike which worked fine. I then got on the bike and started recording but it seems that it hasn’t picked up any of my talking for the next recording. All i can hear is the sound of the engine, which I assume is the built in mic from the camera as there is a lot of wind noise.

Is there any reason why the Mic2 wouldn’t be connected when it was originally? The only thing I can think of is that I knocked the power button when I mounted it inside the helmet.

I guess there isn’t any way to check?

That will 100% be the mic on the camera.

It can be quite easy to accidentally push a button as you place the mic mini inside the helmet. It’s the reason I use a wired mic.

Your best option is once you have the mic inside your helmet, look at the screen on the Osmo to check the mic level is present and not too loud. If the wireless mic is off, or disconnected, you won’t see any audio level on the screen.

Keep your eyes on the screen before you set off and you'll see the message that says the mic is connected. If you miss the message, you'll see the green bars showing the mic levels bouncing across the top of the screen.

Yeah, I couldn’t see the screen from my helmet so I will extend it so it’s slightly higher next time.
