I’ve never used Bluetooth to record vlogs. I did recently get a new helmet myself. After installing my comms, and my vlogging equipment, I had a significant popping sound in my recording. I ended up changing the audio settings in my GoPro Hero 7 to stereo. It eliminated the popping completely!!
It sounds as if there is clipping going on and I can only assume the input level on the Sena must be set too high. If I recall correctly, you can adjust that in the app. But apart from that, the sound quality is EXCELLENT for voice. It is clear and warm, which is exactly what you want for voice. The Sena is filtering out most of the bike noise, so if you get this to work properly you will need a separate recorder for bike noise. I might have to try this same trick with my Insta360 X4 and see what happens.
Wow, that popping is annoying. Without the popping, it sounds quite good... but ugh, that popping. Could be clipping. You might want to adjust the gain on the SENA, or switch mic modes on the GoPro like Motoramblings suggested.
@@RoadReality Its better on the newer stuff. One thing I did on the 12 is put my name and address on it in case the camera falls off (which it shouldn't) But thats a whole other video to stop camera loss prevention
A lot of popping, as I'm sure you heard while editing. Well, I'm wearing headphones too. I'd say other than that it's pretty solid.
I like the helmet! Your voice sounds crisp and clear. I hear that weird noise, but I have no idea what it is or how to fix it.
I’m thinking it’s the sena headset. I had the same sound on the old helmet

Bluetooth is what sold me on the go pro 12. It’s going to be a backup. I lost audio due to rain water got into the 3.5mm port
@@ScottsMotoAdventures that happens to me from time to time if I forget to remove the camera when it starts raining…

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out, and thanks for watching
My new helmet is a Scorpion modular
That’s on my list. Thanks for watching

Im looking into the Sena App I also put on GoPro Labs on that camera and I can adjust gain if needed.
@@ScottsMotoAdventures Oh, cool! I think you're the first person I know to try the GoPro Labs stuff... let me know how it goes!

@@ScottsMotoAdventures Good call - that could be a good way to get it back!
I don’t think I could wear a visor on my helmet at anything above dirt road speeds…. Noisy, and I would think too much buffeting??
The bell mx9 has a visor that does well. I have a long distance ride planned and I might take it off for a long day
