Contour+2 external mic recommendation

[EmmaJ]

Hi,

I've recently purchased a Contour+2 camera and I'd like to use the external mic input to record the exhaust sound on my Monaro the trouble is I'm completely clueless when it comes to things audio. I figure I'll need a mic with a wind sock to help eliminate as much unwanted noise as possible but beyond that's where you guys come in . What mic would be best suited to my requirements?

Thanks,

Emma.

A lot of people (including myself) have had good luck with the Audio Technica ATR3350. While it comes with a foam windsock you may want to try and locate one of those furry kittens things to put over the top to remove any chance of wind noise.

One last thing - The ATR3350 is a 3.5mm plug but I vaguely recall that the Contour has a 2.5mm socket for an external mic? So you may need an adapter.

The contour comes with an adaptor so that's covered.
