[...] ContourHD has a horrible internal mic, however you can solder in your own external one. This does, however, void the warranty. This guy has a pretty good writeup with video of the end result. Vholdr HD Contour External microphone modification, IFraggle, an Assorted Affair. [...]

great idea. did the same the other day, but reused the original mic, stuffed it between the helmet padding, and it sounds great, and then you don’t need an extra battery.

Great narrative and pics. Great upgrade. I hope VholdR is considering an option in future versions. This is a great camera. I’m going to work with Final Cut Studio to work with the wind noise etc. Also working on a charging/video option.

Great tutorial! I like the idea behind the powered mic. For mine I used the female end from a 1/8″ extension cable like this one. http://images.nearbynow.com/productimages/radioshack/da/000253da_360×360.jpg

Thanks for your effort to show your modifications. Do you have some specifications to the 12v powered mic?
I’v found some discussions that dynamic contra static microphones makes a big difference. I just brought my micro (orig. micro) with a extende wire outside of the camera under my bike gear ind a “isolated” little box with some good efects. Now I’m looking for some solutions with a micro replacement but do not know whats the best. Regards Wendelin

Sweet bike!

Good info on the mic. I don’t have an issue on my dirtbike on the trails I ride, but I could see a huge issue on a streetbike and wind noise.

BTW, Did you see any way to adjust the focus of the cam lens while you were in there?
Seems a few or more tend NOT to be focused perfectly and was trying not to send to company down the road.
