Default GoPro HD Micover Test

Well I got the Micover cover for my goPro HD with the open back. It seems louder like actual more sound from the wind but not as much as the buffeting though. Pretty much it's not worth it IMO.

Played around with mine this week as well, I'd say it's not worth it either. You can hear the exhaust a for a few mph extra, but not THAT much better. I think I'd rather just put some duct tape around the closed back's edges. Waste of money, but at least it wasn't a lot.

Face it the other way, it's even worse that way when the wind is hitting it dead on.

Well that blows...I was gonna pic one up. However when I make a vid using windows movie maker you can turn down the sound add a little music and vola not as much wind noise and it does still let the exhaust notes come through.

Micoverinc commented on my video and said I should move the camera to a different place on the car to see if that helps. Im gonna try it and see if that helps any.
