Ended up doing a quick evening ride at one of the closer trails to my house and did a test record with an external mic. Sounds so much better! More bike/trail sounds and less heavy breathing. 馃槄 This trail has a lot of really fun features. I uploaded to Mastodon, but the size and compression makes it barely watchable so I recommend checking it out here (in 4K) if you want to see more than mushy pixelated artifacts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIzq006-g4Q

POV video of me riding one of my local trails near my house. Sound is much better because I'm now using an external mic mounted on my bike.

@pfernandes Your trails are probably a bit more gnarly than the ones I have in my area. 馃檪 No mountains here so it's hard to get above around 22mph or so at the fastest. Also summers are humid and 95-105 degrees (fahrenheit) so I'd probably faint in a full face. I do wear one anytime I hit bigger jumps or ride somewhere with more elevation/steeper grades.
