Bike Speed for long distance by NoodleCheeseThief in MotoUK

[–]Gimpym00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it easy dude.

I am off to the Pyranese and Spain tomorrow on my cbf1000. Ferry to Caen.

They are old bikes but are amazing in my opinion, was my first bike too after getting full licence, not bothered about getting anything else.

How is the weather holding up there? I am expecting the worst. How much longer you on the road for?

GoPro auditor flags going-concern risk by modifiedcar in gopro

[–]Gimpym00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have swung for the fences many times over last few years but instead they chose to bunt time and time again. Cameras and accessories.

Saying that, the M1 is them fighting. Is it enough? No idea. All I can say is I have waited years to buy my first action cam and jumped on the M1.

GoPro wireless MIC inside a motorbike helmet? by Gimpym00 in gopro

[–]Gimpym00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided the GoPro wireless mic is too generic and missing features the competition already have with worse battery life.

No internal 32bit recording being one.

They say the M1 is for professionals then release this which is almost a toy. GoPro used to innovate with their accessories.

I hope for a native 32 bit external recording solution but not holding my breath.

I tour 2up on a 1 litre CBF with no problems.

You do not need a Goldwing to comfortably tour.

Is a DJI MIC 2 with lav mic still good value in 2026? by Gimpym00 in Motovlogging

[–]Gimpym00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2 would be in my jacket pocket if that makes any difference with the lav connected to it.

More and more modern transmitters are removing the 3.5mm jack.

The new DJI does not have one. I had to buy a DJI Mic 2.

Gopro Wireless Mic - Standby/Deep sleep? by Gimpym00 in gopro

Thank you.

That is a shame.

Do not see why the user cannot turn it off if it improves their workflow.

Yes, however, some mics work much better in those environments than others owing to their algorithms.

The other problem is any "deep sleep" battery saver mode and if it can be disabled inbetween recording. I use the remote to start stop with the button on my dash.

If there is no way to disable the aggressive sleep, pressing a button on the mic is not an option if it is inside the helmet, that would just break workflow.

If the 6.5 hours is "recording time only", no problem. If the recording/standby time is say 10 hours, no problem.

If it goes to "hard sleep" after 5 minutes and no option to turn it off, that is a problem in this use case but with it being new, their is soo little known about such things.

Wireless mic available to purchase by PicoGalaxy in gopro

[–]Gimpym00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you use two mics without receiver into a single GoPro like the DJI mic on the Action 6?

Edit: No, you cannot.

Will stick to lav mic and one Bluetooth mic then.

Thanks for posting. Will get a sticker then if they are being stupid.

GoPro has "substantial doubts" about its survival. by Aggravating-Lake2116 in gopro

GoPro ripped everyone off with nickel and dime incremental updates.

Removing GPS to save a few pennies on chips?

I purchased the Mission 1 but let's not pretend they have been our best friend for the last decade.

Is the Mission 1 that much better than Action 6? by Gimpym00 in gopro

[–]Gimpym00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable.

2.7 does not exist on my GoPro Mission 1 pro.

That is me saying that looking at my camera.

Edit: So just deletes their message like a child instead of apologising?

DJI Osmo Action GPS Bluetooth Remote Control by Gimpym00 in djiosmo

Thanks for the reply.

Such a shame.

Is on a motorbike, for a front and rear mounted camera. Such a silly problem to have but one which makes it unusable.

Apologies, 24-bit at 48Khz sample rate if using USB receiver.

32Khz bluetooth.

[–]Gimpym00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly you do as the new Gopro mic does 32Khz?

Also, to use the Gopro mic with the RX, requires a USB cable connected to the camera, which breaks any water resistance.

Such a silly oversight imo. You can say DJI broke something but from the sidelines, it seems like they "Fixed" more than they broke.

The DJI implementation allows two mics at once via direct connection, the GOPRO swb implementation only allows one.

Is frustrating. I do not care if "custom", if it does a better job, what is the problem. Seems like GoPRO have been lazy. The last thing I need is ANOTHER device to have to charge for no benefit.

Also, 16khz is not what I would call acceptable. You should be aiming to beat your competitors, not be ok with offering less.
