# 19 Opotiki, Whakatane, Tauranga and heading for Hot Water Beach and getting lost Epic New Z
Day 3, East Cape to Hicks Bay and beyond… After dropping my bike, I carried on to Tauranga. Sprained my wrist, scraped the frame protector cap and slightly bent the clutch leaver…
I have just learned something... most of my resent videos on the big ride I did around the East Cape of New Zealand has VERY BAD Audio... which did my head in because before I left, I got a new helmet and mic... and expected awesome quality audio... But in watching the video on my helmet unboxing and setup... I have realised that I mounted the double ended mic right behind chin bar on the new helmet. The video shows that the chin bar has an air vent in the front... Now I have come to the realisation that I have mounted the double ended microphone right behind an air vent... so as the speed gets up, so will the air flow through the vent right onto the microphone... ok... I have moved it to a new location so should be ok now...
Helmet setup:
