thanks I still need to work on a good position for the mic. it doesn't pick up the engine as well as I wish it would. Instead you hear a lot of "noise"

Instead you hear a lot of "noise"CAN you position your mic? Or its is a point and shoot digi?? You could always cover the mic holes with some paper towel to reduce the wind noise and still alow the sound to come through... Wow, the left sweeper was insane... 180 degrees, seemed a little odd it came so close to the edge of the lot, and with trees so close as well.. Cool vidi...

yeah the mic is completely removed from the camera device itself. I had it located down on the floor board on the pass side.the course was insane. but I loved every minute of it. The straight stretch had me topping out second gear.

ya, that course was a lot of fun. I just wish I had "got it" in the first couple runs of the day vs at the end of the day when it didn't count. oh well....

OK, I just called the manufacturer and ordered a couple more cables for the cams. He is also sending 2 new mics with adjustable gains on them since the older version mics (what we have) were ultra sensitive. He is giving me a deal on an extra camera (not the whole system, just the camera itself) and spare lens in exchange for some vids in case future systems are more geared towards auto racing. So I have yet to check my camera to verify it still works, but it should. I took out the cone pretty good, right on.... LOL
