I'm late to the game but I really want to get onboard with GoPro.

1). What is the best method, place and hardware to set up in a 914

2). What version of the GoPro is optimal for the teener in all of us

3). Tips and tricks working with and maximising the value of the camera/software


Thanks for your thoughtful responses in advance. I can't imagine buying anything car related without checking here first. Hi,....my name is Ben and I'm a worldaholic....

Oldschool,

What do you suggest for muffling the sound. I tried sticking a piece of closed cell foam on the back of the open case. Did not seem to work well. I get a lot of buffeting and I was hoping for a clearer crisper sound.

New GoPro they have way better sound, we use a real sound guy and put his gear in the car, Funny just as i'm writing this I got a picture sent to me of what I'm setting up tomorrow at jay's .....it's going to be a challenge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

So there appears to be a HERO4 black or silver now. I wonder if these have the better sounds?
