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. John |

John 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.
