Just wondering how well it’s stood the test of time? Thanks, Ben It’s been nearly 2 years so I’m guessing it’s had some good use. Just wondering how well it’s stood the test of time?

Engine vibration from solid motor mounts coupled to the Contour internal mic has plagued me since I got the camera, making audio nearly useless with resonant buzzes at most engine RPMs. I tried lowering the mic amplitude to reduce clipping of the audio - that worked a little. The buzzes where still there but no longer clipping the audio. I tried mounting the camera on a 1 pound lead ingot then on the mount - in conjunction with reducing gain it helped a little more but was still bad. Finally I extended the internal wires as you did thru the case - about 3 feet - using some 28ga ultra-flex wire. I put the mic capsule along with its rubber grommet in the end of a plastic shell of a cheap 3.5mm phone jack plug. To easily "stick" it on things like seat fabric, I wrapped the shell with self-adhesive Velcro hook material. I just put it anywhere on the seat where there is fabric and it stays easily. The seat padding and fabric isolates the mic from the chassis enough so I no longer hear the resonant buzzes that drove me nuts before. I wanted to install a small jack on the camera and use a plug but I havent found one small enough to fit the extremely limited space in the camera. The "hard wired" mic works well enough that this isnt a priority. I use my camera (HD 1080) in a race car mounted on a common racing camera mount attached to the roll cage.

It not only cancels out wind noise, but adds extra protection to the camera in case of bad weather or a crash (DAMHIK).

Are you still happy with it? It is warm enough to ride from March to late October? It is too hot for the summer? Even if your remove the linear? Where did you buy this jacket? Eric Live in Gatineau (Quebec, Canada) I am going to buy the AQ adventure jacket. Are you still happy with it?
