Got my gopro a couple of days back so took it out for a spin. Wind Noise is horrible so had to add a soundtrack. Njoy

kyjohn · 05-08-2012, 01:13 AM

Cool, I enjoyed the ride...LOL

v6 · 05-08-2012, 01:13 AM

Not a fan of that soundtrack haha

v6 · 05-08-2012, 01:14 AM

lol . I know. I'm not very good at editing or soundtracks. I need to get me some good ones. Suggestions?

Sometimes the beautiful music of the engine is all you need. Possibly no need to add the soundtrack at all?

At least keep the original sound in the video in some way, then add less volume to the track you had. Use music you like...not everyone likes the same thing, and classical can be used well to score videos...just as much as rock, funk or pretty much any style.

Taking away the car noise makes car videos clinical, not visceral.

The wind noise was unbelievably horrific. You are not going to believe this but I had my Noweeds FULLY OPEN and I could not hear it at all in the video. Need to do something about the wind noise. Anyone have any ideas?

Buffnshine · 05-08-2012, 01:22 AM

which back did you have on the case? And what was the string for a leash?

The waterproof one with no openings

Buffnshine · 05-08-2012, 01:25 AM

that is the one draw back in my opinoun. I like the view, the windshield has an optical illusion like bumble bee eyes

Externally, you may get a ton of wind noise, but I think they make a case that minimizes that noise. Also, interior shots are better as far as sound goes.

Pretty cool.

greenrail · 05-08-2012, 08:52 AM

I am so wanting to get one of those cameras. Nice Video!!!

2010SLVRBULIT · 05-08-2012, 08:54 AM

better w/ the mute button on.

SSdude · 05-14-2012, 07:14 AM

Here's another video this time with 3 different mounting angles and this time with no sound track and minimal wind noise. Just the sound of the engine rumble especially when the camera was mounted at the rear.

tpower · 05-14-2012, 07:17 AM

which mounts are you using

SSdude · 05-14-2012, 08:01 AM

All 3 angles covered in the video I last posted are using the suction mount + every connecting joint for maximum articulation
