The New Hotness

  • Bike Helmet Boom Mic: Assembly

    After building the mic mount, another dab of epoxy mounted the length of AWG 10 wire I said I wouldn’t use:

    Bike Helmet Mic Boom - rod epoxy
    Bike Helmet Mic Boom – rod epoxy

    The whole point of the complex mount is to expose the two noise cancelling holes on the back of the electret element:

    Bike Helmet Mic - electret element rear
    Bike Helmet Mic – electret element rear

    Add heatstink tubing over the entire length of the boom wire, use more black cable ties, shape another foam ball:

    Bike Helmet Mic Boom - installed
    Bike Helmet Mic Boom – installed

    And it worked on the first try, not that there’s much to it.

    Yeah, that’s the HDR-AS30V camera mount up top: dork mode in full effect.
