OK all of you GoPro, pros...I need a little help with editing and/or filtering...

First vid i took today and it was super noisy once i got up to speed.
So questions are:
1) is there any way to lessen wind shear/noise while recording? (gopro mounted on roof)
2) what program (if any) are you using to filter out the wind??

Not a program, tape! Use the skeleton door and put tape over the holes. Another way is face the camera backwards, but that kind of limits your view lol.

The kit I bought had different doors for the back of the case if I remember correctly. Some were open, and others were totally closed off to seal it in case you wanted to use it underwater. It helped a lot, but there is still "some" wind noise to be heard... don't know if you will ever really get rid of all of it.

One thing I have seen (and I forgot where) was an external microphone that you could plug into the GoPro, and then mount the mic where you wanted. In the post I saw about it, the user mounted the mic up under the rear bumper giving his videos a very nice and full exhaust note, and not a lot of wind.

The sealed doors are even worse for noise, no idea why. I couldn't even hear my exhaust with the sealed unit, weird.

Really? Maybe I have it backwards then... its been a while since I put it on the outside of the car, I usually just use it at the track and put on the inside if the drivers window. Mainly use it to capture boost, launch rpms, and shift points. Not a lot of wind noise inside... unless I get the nachos from the concession stand

Sitting in an airport, laughing out loud. People are starting to stare. Must control myself.

Must not laugh, must not laugh, must not laugh....can't resist any more hahaha.

Uhhh...does that improve your boost...or relieve your PSI?

GT500Steve

In some of my in car videos you might see the boost gauge "spike" momentarily..... a sudden build up of excess pressure.......

Coincedence????? I think not

Leave it to a "Steve" to put meaning behind the explanation...i can sleep easier now, thank you...
