    I like the way it sounds with the adapter more than the mic 2. The adapter has a bit of wind buffeting but it makes the audio more natural and also picks up a bit of engine/exhaust noise compared to the mic 2.

    • @froglodytestravels
      @froglodytestravels 25 днів тому

      The lav mic and the mic2 are in completely different places so difficult to compare. The mic2 can be rotated to pick up more engine noise if wanted.

      Hi. My lav mic is still permanently fixed in my helmet. I left it in there in case the mic 2 ever failed. The mic 2 is mounted the chin bar using a stick on magnetic plate (the sort you stick on your mobile phone case). I've not tried using the lav mic plugged into the mic 2 as you then lose the Bluetooth connection.

Luckily it seems many of the Wayfarers songs are now on UA-cam. I will have to listen again and check my facts? I used to attend Ripley Follk Club on a regular basis as well as a few others! I know Mick sadly Died are Phil and Barry still around? Mick came from Marehay like my family.

    I may have a little more information for your video, regarding the couple staying over for the night in Stoney, and as you described that the pub they stayed at is no longer, the actual building is, and after reading detailed information about this murder a few years ago myself, the pub or the premises where they stayed is directly over your right shoulder should you pause your video at the 5.00 minute section. This is where they chose to stop over before heading out as you say to their intended wedding venue, and where they was over heard about their intensions and became obvious that they had money on their person worth killing them for.
