the wind noise! you're missing the wind noise Watch the video with sound on.

I'm running an external mic with my gopro so I can get better audio that sounds more like what I hear while driving, without wind noise. This video was my inspiration. If you don't use a sheltered external microphone, all you get is wind noise/vibration/junk audio.

Link to original page on YouTube.

Backstory: I wanted to capture what the car actually sounds like to me in my videos so people can get a good feel for it; also so I can actually hear what I'm doing with the car and what the tires are doing so I can get more use out of videos as a learning tool for track time to improve my driving. I used an external mic with a long cord on my GoPro. I put the gopro on my roll bar, then ran the cord through the interior panels, into the trunk, and then dangled it down the inside of the bumper and attached it (with a furry wind blocker) to the trunk lock cylinder. Some people dangle it on the exterior of the car with painters tape, but I feel like my solution is more elegant, IMHO.
