morgey Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just a quick test of the go pro, made a couple of other video's but either the sound was just dreadful because of wind noise or they weren't suitable Suction mount on the windscreen, gives a reasonable sound from the throttles as i didn't get up to any high speeds. can be watched in 720p i think>http://youtu.be/kQDbfh1KpGQ As its the original HD is doesn't have the option of remote mic, So what methods of wind reduction have other people found work? I've seen the foam method and will probably try that out and another was to make he camera more aerodynamic with a cola bottle, which seemed to work fairly well. Im sure some are tried and tested so which ones work better than others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 sound is shit on go pro's full stop... regardless of how u mount or use them... lol My iPhone gives better sound quality then a gopro lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah I know that but want ideas to get the best (or at least better) than what I've got.I may just use it for internal stuff instead could always try something different for external Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 isn't there a bit you can play about with on the housing that helps with wind noise, not used mine for car stuff yet but remember reading something about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah theres the waterproof and non waterproof. Under 100 use non waterproof over use waterproof. This was with the waterproof one so dread to think what the non Wp would be like loleeeeeeeee....................................eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.................................................................................................eeeeeeeeeeee.......eeeeeee Haha yeah they do that unless you are abusing them. Need to get them grooved really! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yea that was it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I use the non wp when i bolt it to my mates mx5 with the roof off and sound quality is fine tbh. Maybe thats your problem? Its just getting the noise from the casing hitting the wind as opse to the actual abiant noise. Try your non wp unless you are doing over 100mph. S per the instructiins. GoPro's are fantastic cameras and do thier job spot on!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oli12310 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 well youve probably seen a boom mic before? just cover the mic hole with fluffy stuff, should absorb the wind noise a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
