GoPro HD Pro2 videos

Playing around with my new GoPro HD Pro2. The video is great but the mic is over sensitive.

First video I placed stick-on pad under mic and bought a windscreen. Both helped with the wind noise as delivered out of the box but the wind drowns out the exhaust.

Second video is inside mounted by suction cup, same setup as above. Even with the windows open and playing the radio mostly the exhaust is heard as I wanted it. Later I might experiment with an external mic.

Nice picture quality for such a compact unit. The sound was much better in cockpit.
Seems tough to get the boomy bass out of the audio so it sounded more natural.
A great setup though. Exhaust sounds nice

Thanks, when I get some more time I need to experiment with the external mic. The GoPro is pretty good design, but they screwed up on the mic, over sensitive and from what I read it is wired in parallel to the external mic.
