@ Weed check my post above for a link to the mic i'm running. It does not require any adapter and is self support off the mic jack.

I must have missed it or dont see it. Can you report it please.

The GoPro does have a standard mic jack. It has a mini USB port so GoPro tries to make it proprietary so you have to buy their adapter

Gopro 2 here..

Since that edit, i've upgraded mine a bit with an external mic and snake rivers blurfix. The blurfix is great and made for underwater focus correction. I use it mainly to have the ability to run different filters, in my quiver i have; clear uv, polarizing, and a neutral density filter.

I'll take of photo of my setup when I get a chance. I do a lot of snowboarding and freebording(snowboard on asphalt) Its too risky to run my dslr as a follow cam so i've invested a good bit into the gopro

Sorry misunderstood ya on this weed.. Nah i don't run a mic in helmet. Most of the stuff i'm recording is follow cams, and don't require a speaking mic.

Photo from my mini rig to get some commuting footage;


I'll post footage soon. Rides to work are straight shot, but rides home i get to do a bit of exploring

My DriftHD came in yesterday.
Wasn't planning on buying one.  Reason why I did is a long story.

Short version:
Two years ago my wife (along with a few of my friends, parents,...) bought me an amazing gift for my 30th birthday:
4 laps behind the wheel of fantastic cars on the old Nürburgring (Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche GT3, Audi R8LM).

Cost a pretty penny, but everyone chipped in.  I was over the moon!
Turned out it was all too good to be true...  The company who sold the package didn't organise the ride: they only gave you a voucher for another company.

That company only had two or three dates available in a whole year, with a limited amount of driving slots.
Actually getting a spot in the cars seemed almost impossible.
Lately, online complaints from unsatisfied customers was growing and growing (I've been waiting for 2+ years, the queue has only gotten longer and longer) and a few months ago the inevitable happened:  the mismanaged company in Germany went bankrupt.  :(

Leaving me with a voucher.  :2guns:
Lots of mails with the original company, who sold me the voucher gave me a small result:
I couldn't get my money back, but they could give me the chance to buy something else from their website.

Enter the DriftHD.
Like I said: wasn't planning on buying a sportscam, but having one sure beats being left empty handed after the racecar-catastrophe. 8)

Well I did buy a mic. Can't use it because I took my bike completely apart for paint and parts change outs. I'll have it back together soon though and then I will do some vids.

Same Sony one you have actually. I bought the chinese copy off ebay after seeing several reviews on it. It came with a small extension cable I will use to route into the helmet. I havent decided how to mount it yet. Likely with some velcro.
