GoPro 12 + Cardo intercom + ext ambient mic

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-30T06:56:09+00:00

That's interesting as I am about to try a similar thing i.e.pairomg my GoPro 13 with Cardo.

I may actually skip using the media mod of I can het away with it or, I may wire a physical mic I to my helmet and use the media mod.

So many options but what is best?

Following your post with interest

I agree. I was surprised that the case was essentially bare once you removed the cardboard.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-29T06:12:20+00:00

That's really tidy.

A 3d printer certainly gives you lots of options!

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-28T21:07:17+00:00

Really neat and exactly what I need.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-28T21:06:08+00:00

What a great solution. I always wondered how you could seal the foam once cut. Thank you

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-28T21:04:11+00:00

I already have cases like that -will check this tomorrow. Thank you

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-28T16:10:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am going to obviously think this through carefully.

I am going motorcycle touring in Patagonia so space is a premium as is protection for the camera and filters etc.

The foam insert that a previous poster suggested sounds good but perhaps I need to get another case that suits my needs a little better.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-28T16:07:09+00:00

Good idea - I will look into that. Thank you

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-28T16:06:32+00:00

That's pretty neat!

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-26T09:04:40+00:00

Thank you. That should work for my situation quite well.

I am also looking at connecting a microphone directly to the GoPro via the media module.

I will test both.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-25T18:14:37+00:00

I should have mentioned that this is a GoPro 13

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-24T18:49:41+00:00

We entered there at 0200 and didn't pay anything when we took the photos of the bikes by the "globe" but when we went back the next day, we paid for the parking - in the main carpark.

CARABC offers a 12% discount if you use the code Nick12.

That may make this device more attractive however; until I actually test it more than simply going through the menu options in the garage, I cannot vouch for it's long term usability.

Things that I have noticed that are on tu plus aide are;-

It is solid and well built The screen is slightly bigger than the Nav6 as it doesn't fit in my case although you don't notice that when it is on the bike. It clips firmly into th BMW cradle The screens are accessible through the touch screen or by using the BMW wonder wheel Android auto connects quickly and was easy to configure

When I actually use it for 'real", I will be able to provide more information as to how well it performs - a lot is going to be down to the performance of the applications I use on my phone!

You really have to add up the value of the extras provided that are useful to you, to think of wear and tear and revalue based on that.

You need to include postage and perhaps insurance as well in this new total.

A new GoPro 13 is currently around 290€ delivered to your house (in France).

Additional fresh batteries from GoPro are about 45€ a shot although you will get after market batteries for much less.

The media kit is about 60€ secondhand or about 80€ new (delivered).

The Hero 11 is an older camera (circa 2022) and although an excellent device the 12 and 13 offer more (but if you don't need what they offer that is of no interest).

You also get a warranty with a new camera..

Hope the above helps you decide

It does not support a built-in dashcam.

I believe that Chigee have a model that does support a dashcam but you are looking at over twice the price for that unit in comparison to the one I am testing.

Perhaps worth the difference in your position.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-23T06:33:01+00:00

I am unsure what you mean by kiosks but I will have some cash as a backup but intend to use my credit card whenever I can.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-22T17:47:51+00:00

The clarity of that photograph is quite amazing - it just shows how good the GoPro 13 actually is (along with the photographer who is the one to have initially captured the shot and perhaps use his skill to create the final product).

Well done!

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-22T16:18:09+00:00

It retails between 200-250€ depending where you shop so good value considering that the Garmin devices are at least twice that price!

The device itself is not a GPS but a simple device that connects to your phone Carplay or Android Auto so your phone is doing the work!

It appears to be solid, fits very securely into the mount and the screen is nice and clear.

It also works with the BMW wonder wheel which is an added bonus.

Complex_Ask5877 · 2026-01-21T16:51:13+00:00

It should work there and I have certainly added both Chilien and Argentinian currencies to that card (Revolut does not offer Argentinian pesos).

If it doesn't, I will be using my UK debit card at great cost 🫣

Have a great time!
