So it stops wind noise if wind is coming behind it but what about if you're recording forward and you wanna stop the wind?

This is SUPER tempting.. I have tons of on-car, on-bike, skiing, etc., video's. Some are definitely ruined by the wind noise. http://www.youtube.com/BadAssXJ is my YouTube, blocked here at work or I'd link to some vids. Hmmmm....

******* sweet. I'd like to see someone use it before I order it, but it definitely sounds promising.

Where can we order it from?

edit: nevermind. I stopped being lazy. Here's a link:

OT: That parallel parking vid drove me insane, and the near head-on collision was scary *** hell.

Hahah, dude, I sat there watching it for 5 minutes before I started taping it. I couldn't stop laughing and had to hold myself back while it was recording. It's SO simple.. just pull out of the spot, then repark... arghhhh! haha. That head on was one of the closest times I've come to dying in my life.... and it was literally a split second..... I ride with HID's and my high beams on (during the sunlight of the day) now due to that incident...

Looking forward to future videos without the lame wind buffeting.

I ordered one of these last weekend, just came today but my trip to the track to test it out turned out to be wasted due to rain right as I arrived... Going to try to get some footage on the street tomorrow just to compare to my other couple videos. Have to admit I laughed out loud when I saw it came with a comb, heh.

They were on sale I guess for memorial day, I got it for $16.95 I think direct from the manufacturer. Back up to $20 now: http://store.micover.com/stickover/m...ver-gopro.html


Saw this guy who did some audio tests with the GoPro on his motorcycle. Third one in the first post is w/ the micover. Pretty huge difference vs his other two. http://www.1130cc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149907

Hmm, well it certainly doesn't eliminate all wind noise. Although the wind noise is still there, this does tone it down a notch so it isn't quite as overpowering it seems though. Not quite as much difference as I had hoped somehow, but I think the audio is pretty decent considering the camera is in 60+ mph of wind. I also didn't have a chance to try the other thing I read about online: putting a 3/8" vacuum cap over the front power button area. Supposedly a good bit of the wind noise comes from there.

You be the judge:

Similar video from before:

This is a video I made real quick w/ the Micover windscreen on:
