I’m struggling with my new RØDE PodMic USB (connected via USB) and need advice on whether this sounds like a hardware failure:

Gain inconsistency: At low gain, it doesn’t pick up my voice; at higher gain, it captures extreme background noise and breathing. (Requires being uncomfortably close to the mic).

Internal crackling: A persistent, non-environmental crackling sound has started coming from the mic internally.

Location: I am in India and looking for the correct warranty/service process.

Has anyone experienced this "internal" crackle? Is this a faulty unit, or a known driver/firmware issue I can fix? Appreciate any guidance on contacting RØDE support in India.

Does anyone have any idea where to find this exact mount for the fog lights ?

Loved the way my bike performed. Took it for about 800km long ride and this didn't disappoint a bit. A Happy owner so far 🤞🏻

Hello everyone! I'm a new motorcycle rider and I'm looking for my first travel backpack. I'll mainly be using it for rides and weekend trips, so I'm open to a rucksack, duffel backpack, or even a regular backpack—whatever offers the best value and practicality.

One important thing is that the backpack will mostly be used as a tail bag, strapped to the motorcycle's rear seat, rather than being carried on my back. So durability and how well it can be secured to the bike matter more than carrying comfort.

I live in Northeast India, where the monsoon is quite heavy, so I'd prefer something that's at least reasonably water-resistant. I'm also completely fine with buying a separate waterproof rain cover if needed.

My budget is strictly ₹1,500, so I'm looking for the best option within that price range.I know it's a difficult budget to even recommend a decent backpack for travelling. I've shortlisted a few backpacks already, but I'm very open to other recommendations. If you've personally used a backpack in this budget or have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance, and ride safe! 🏍️
