Short sunday drive - Mobius camera test

I got a Mobius camera to record my driving, and took it out for a quick test yesterday to shake it down before my next track day (whenever that is, I don't have any on the schedule right now...)

I also have a $10 eBay camera facing backwards, I am going to use it to see what happens behind me at the track and to get a different perspective. Also to see what it looks like when I pass cars

$10 eBay Camera (I found on Amazon as well)

Mobius:

It is the standard angle lens (not wide angle) and I had it set for 1920x1080 30 FPS with Narrow FOV.

Some issues:
  • Audio sensitivity is too high. I had to play with the audio settings in Camtasia to eliminate a lot of the noise. I'm looking to see if I can reduce the gain in the Mobius (edit: turns out I can't so looking at other solutions, there is some reference of opening the case and putting in a piece of foam to dampen the wind noise and that may help. I had my windows up except when I went under the overpass.)
  • Hopefully that crackling sound is the mic being overdriven by wind noise? Anyone with a Mobius, do you ever hear any noise like that?
  • Vibration: I have Wevo SS Transmission mounts that cause a lot of vibration, especially at idle. I need to see if I can reduce that transferring into the camera.
  • I have the Mobius aimed a little too high - I may add a tiny bubble level to the sleeve to help me get a repeatable setting.
  • I have the LN Engineering Skid plate for the deep sump. It adds a lot of "metallic" type noise. Once I get going it is not really audible but at idle and lower speeds, you can hear it sometimes... It got better once I got new transmission mounts but it is still present...

My spoiler is up because I recently installed a spoiler decal and this is my first drive since then.
