Sounds right enough that Ian , your voice is clear and the rumble of Clementine is just right in the background, not drowning you out , good to see you out and about again! 👍
Believe it or not, I still think the original set up was the best on back lanes, before I fitted the DJI mic adapter, but I want to persevere with this new stuff, as it does have the edge on bigger roads.
Sounds like you have the sound sorted😊 I feel it’s my fault it’s raining all the time, for buying a new bike. All its done since i bought it is rain 🙄 great video, fantastic scenery, marvellous bimble and natter 😊
Talking about meeting a tractor, i was out the other day on my Meteor going down a lane similar to the one you are on i slowed down on the approach to a bend and low and behold a Working tractor filled the lane it was cutting the grass , i had to stop and move as far over as possible to let him pass , very politely just enough room for the tractor driver to get through the gap , you can never be to careful thats for sure , stay safe Ian . 😊
Nice one Ian, Clementine handled the green lanes well enough, according to a recent BBC weather report we've had the warmest May on record! How dumb do they think we are......
Nice to see you out and about, Ian. 👍 Delightful ride again, though with those high hedgerows, it's sometimes like riding with green blinkers on! Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. They just serve to show the rest of the world what we're missing, as does the wonderful British weather! 😁 That cyclist was being deliberately obstructive.
Thanks Chris. When I was removing Clementine’s covers, and getting my gear on, it was bright sunshine. Soon changed 🙄😂 Yes, the Lycra Loonie was annoying. Cheers
Yep, sounds pretty good to me Ian; job done mate. Pleasing bimble along my type of roads, pleasant banter, great views and Clementine’s exhaust; doesn’t get any better than this Ian. Great work. Hope Ann’s ok; take care bud.
Thanks Neil. Audio is good but improvements can still be made me thinks 🤔. Adding the separate audio track from the Zoom mic, does take up quite a bit more time in editing, but I will preserve a bit longer. Need to find the right settings for the Zoom, for when I test ride other bikes. We are both fine thanks, keep taking the tablets 🙄. Hope you two are also well.
Evening Ian 😊 belting little short cut and the sound is excellent 👌 you just turned right I thought the video was ending, well you just said it might be a short one 😅😅😅
Hi Ian, Good to see you back on the bike, the sound of your bike is spot on & your voice comes over equally well i have always found the sound quality on all your videos really clear. All the best Baz
Nice video! The sound is balanced well between your voice and Clementine's. Those are some narrow lanes, proves again these little bikes can go anywhere! Stay safe
Thanks Wally, always trying to improve things, this first attempt with the zoom is ok, will try something different next time 🙄😂. Yes the little 350’s are far more capable than non believers think 😉😎
I enjoyed the ride out Ian, the sound of Clemintine is pure music. Currently waiting for better weather here also. Next week looks better for a ride out on the Hunter, Ride safely . Bfn Mike , Sunny Wales (i wish)
Thanks ice. There are a few vids on the subject of using the zoom in TH-cam land. The best results are by putting the mic under the pillion seat, but as I can’t do that, I used the tailbag. Tbh, only time will tell if it is worth the extra time it takes in editing. I can’t believe there was still a couple of instances where the helmet mic was clipping, a bit strange, considering it didn’t do it on the RE group ride on the Interceptor, at faster speeds 🤔. On the OA4, can you record into the camera from two Mic 2’s at the same time ?
Great ride, picture and audio spot on👍 Not sure about needing knobbly tyre's because the state the road's are getting into, maybe caterpillar track's will be a necessary upgrade🤔
Nobbly tyre's on that Green muddy road Ian.Warro has put Nobbly tyre's on HIS 350classic & hit the gravel & dirt back roads & bike handles well & handles well on the road too.Put them on his Honda 350 too.Check him out a few videos back says what tyre's HE used in Classic 350 Ride with Warro.
Morning RR. Just had a Quick Look to see what tyres Warton had put on 😮. They would rattle my fillings out on the roads I ride 😂. I will look to the Heidenau’s when the time comes. 😊 cheers
Hi Ian, an enjoyable ride along some interesting 'roads'. Some cyclists are absolute prats with no courtesy or consideration, and they're the ones who moan most because other road users don't respect them. The audio recorder is working fine, just a little bit muffled. You could probably sort it out with some EQ but if it's in a bag you shouldn't need the DeadCat, you've already said your going to try without. I had mine in my humpback map pouch for my trip west and it worked ok except it picked up too much noise though the seat because the bag was packed with heavy tools. I decided to get a new Tascam DR05X so I'm going to try the old one in a pocket and different mounting positions for the new one. I've found it saves a lot of time in editing, much easier to get better voice and engine sound with separate recordings. Cheers, Mick
Thanks Mick. Agree on the Lycra loonie 😂. Yes, I think it was a bit muffled too. I literally took some settings from another chap on TH-cam as a base point, and put it in the pocket in the lid of the bag. It picked up movement of the bag going over bumps, and the handles of the zips. Next time, I will take more care, and strap the bag down properly 🙄😂. One of the main reasons for trying to work with the zoom, is for taking demo bikes out, which haven’t got as loud an exhaust as Clementine. So I may look to getting some kind of bum bag for those occasions, or, if they have a removable seat hump, stick it in there 😉
Well you found some right nagery lanes this time Ian could have done with the new Himmie , and Clementine certainly sounds very fruity too " i'm liking it" . Lycra clad loonies don't ya just luv em 😉👌👍
Funnily enough I was thinking that about the new Himi too Mal 😂. The Zoom mic certainly brought out extra exhaust note, but thinking it might be better without the dead cat. Love lanes like those 😎, don’t love Lycra loonies though 😂 Cheers
Nice ride Ian! Sound was good, looking forward to the next one without the dead cat. If you're going to keep finding lanes like that maybe get some trail tyres! Bruce at Coastrider Scotland speaks highly of the Heideneau K60s for his Classic on the roads he uses and they cost under £200 the pair and seem to last well.
Hi Andy, yes the Heidenau’s are really good, it was me who put Bruce onto them, as I had them on a Honda CRF250L. Bruce was originally looking at some knobblier ones, but I said they would rattle his teeth out 😂. When Clementine’s tyres need replacing, I will be going down that route 👍. Just need the rain to bugger off so we can get out again. You wouldn’t believe how hard it rained just after I returned home 🤬😂 Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield hi same here I’ve put 2015 miles on the ninja now I’ve had some trolling going on saying your a bit old for a sports bike then I wouldn’t take that bike down them lanes just goes on and on but I’m happy with i. Ian hope to meet up soon thank you 👍🏍️
Don’t the greens of the country side stick out beautiful, I bet those high hedge rows have a lot of wild life in , have not been out on my 350 for over two weeks , but fitted a heal and toe so need to test my adjustment 😊👍. I don’t think I would like that road , clementine will need a good clean.
Yes Donna, an abundance of wildlife and plants in our green hedges. I love finding lanes like these, it’s an adventure. Hope you get out on yours soon. Cheers
Ive got a speed wear jacket its ok in the warmer weather, mines a bit tight now , i wanted something that wasnt bulky or leather , i got a bomber style jacket which had armour in the back , shoulders and elbows , its tough material waterproof , breathable & comfortable to wear , just what i wanted, ive tried it out and find its great , it was only £49 but good value for money , it has a quilt liner that can be zipped out as well, worth a look , think it was R K Motorbike gear , through Amazon .
I wear a Keis heated jacket under the Speedwear jacket, absolutely perfectly warm in all weathers, was even tempted to use the Keis in May 🤦♂️😂. I also have an Oxford Hardy waxed bomber jacket for if the sun ever comes out. Sounds like you bought a bargain 👍. Cheers
@ianhughesroyalenfield Sounds like you got the bizz Ian . Speedwear jkt could do with being a bit more wider in the arms to get something more substantial on underneath .
@carlarthur4442 I went off the size of my old Oxford Montreal Textile jacket. So ordered a large, and it's about right for me, with either a normal fleece top or the Keis jacket, with a thin t shirt for base layer. It's comfortable, but do get what you mean.
That really is the perfect bike for those lanes, though some dual purpose tyres might've helped a bit 😄. Lovely vlog, Ian. 👍 Oh, btw, what camera do you have mounted to your helmet?
Thanks Bob, I quite agree. My camera is a DJI Osmo Action 3, I have the DJI 3.5mm mic adapter plugged in, and a cheap notebook/laptop mic in the helmet. I am thinking of saving up for the Osmo Action 4, as you can connect a wireless mic directly to it, without the need of a receiver. All very clever stuff 👍
Thank you. I have been riding over 46 years, leaving my fingers hovering over the clutch, hark back to my two stroke days, a habit which is well and truly grained into my muscle memory. I am not actually pulling the clutch in, though it might look that way, as I have fitted adjustable levers on both the clutch and brake. Thanks for your concern though 😉
Sounds great Ian. I'm looking for an audio solution for my videos as well and that is an interesting idea. How did you sync the audio to the video? What's your setup?
Set up is….DJI Osmo Action 3, with DJI mic adapter, and Cheap Amazon laptop/notebook mic in helmet. I was using the DJI lav mic, but I was getting too much clipping. The Zoom H1N, with dead cat, is in a pocket in the lid of my tail bag. To me it sounds a bit muffled, hence why next time, I will try without the dead cat. I watched a few TH-cam vids on using the zoom for on motorcycles. One is called The Schaaff (?) method, which I might try as well. Syncing was a bit of a pain, but I turned everything on before setting off on the bike, then pressed the horn 3/4 times, to make editing easier. Hopefully that will get better over time, but this was my first attempt. Cheers
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I’ll have to check out the Schaaf method. I’ve got an Osmo Action 4 and I’ve just been using the inbuilt mics for ambient sounds, which is ok but it’s hard fighting the wind noise so I’d rather have a separate mic behind me to cut it out altogether.
@BulletBeena the built in mics have no chance coping with the wind noise created by motorcycle use. You definitely need another option. Having the OA4, you could buy a Mic 2, which connects wirelessly to the camera without the need of a receiver. It’s certainly a good starting point, and if you do find you would like to introduce more exhaust note, look to the zoom h1n from “Bax Shop”, they have them on offer at the moment. There are loads of vids on the Mic 2 😉.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield No the internal mics aren’t great. I bought a mic cover for the camera and I use a piece of cardboard to cover the mics as well and it kind of works ok. Would rather have something better though. I have looked at the DJI Mic 2 but someone told me that it doesn’t always connect straight away when you do a quick record, which is not great.
I have seen that too, but would expect DJI to solve that through an update. That wouldn’t actually bother me, as I just record the whole ride, as opposed to starting / stopping / starting again. It’s all clever stuff though isn’t it 😉
We aren’t subscribed to each other, but as he lives about 6 miles away, it is inevitable we will cover the same lanes. I wonder if people say the same to him in his comments 🤔
@@ianhughesroyalenfieldprobably, I’ll mention it next one I watch. I follow quite a few RE350 channels (some local to me) despite not being an owner myself
That’s kind, thank you. I love lanes like these, I have been riding and recording them since 2018 (deleted some of the earlier content as it was rubbish 🤦♂️), but still manage to find one’s I haven’t been on. Great fun, unexpectedly finding ones like that in this vid 😂
I had to watch my vid to see what you were talking about, and yes it looks that way. Will have to look at older vids now to see if it is the same 🤞🤔😂 Tbh, as I don’t ride at night, that is one switch I haven’t used. Cheers
Lacks clarity of voice for me, sounds muffled and far away. Have to turn it up to uncomfortable levels to understand you. Listening on home cinema. Perfect ofc would be two recordings, one for the motor and one for the mouth. In audio software you can then automatically lower the volume of the motor track when the mouth track is active. Yeah, that's quite some work on top of the rest. Just my 2 cents on what I think is optimal.
This was my first attempt using an external mic…..so having the mic in the helmet to capture my voice, and the Zoom H1N in the tailbag to capture the exhaust. Unfortunately, it didn’t really work, especially when listening through a soundbar/sub, or as in your case, a home cinema. Most viewers are absolutely fine with my normal way of recording audio, just using the helmet mic, it’s just me who wants to capture the beautiful exhaust note. After some input from another comment, I am now playing with using a lav mic, connected to the Zoom, with the mic tucked away from the wind. Getting the correct level in editing is proving to be tricky, I have produced one video (using stock footage) but not made it public, as the exhaust audio was too high, meaning you could barely hear my voice. All this does of course add another level to the editing process, which already takes me about 5 hours, but hopefully it will be worth the effort eventually. Always playing, always learning 🙉😂 Here is that video, it is the same as the original I made public, but with the added zoom audio track, which just needs reducing by a couple of notches 🫣🙄 th-cam.com/video/cBtLKXoEgBs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TWL1oUPm67lycdt- Cheers
Sounds right enough that Ian , your voice is clear and the rumble of Clementine is just right in the background, not drowning you out , good to see you out and about again! 👍

Always playing, always learning 🙉😂 Here is that video, it is the same as the original I made public, but with the added zoom audio track, which just needs reducing by a couple of notches 🫣🙄 th-cam.com/video/cBtLKXoEgBs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TWL1oUPm67lycdt- Cheers
