Just wanted to try mounting my GoPro directly to a body panel to see how good the on-board mics are whilst putting around town. Car was in DSC Off mode in the clip.

I'm going to try again while locked in the stereo sound mode next time.

Sounds good, have you tried with an external mic?

When I positioned the camera there it didnt sounds so back because the entire car is blocking the wind stream.

If I placed on the side or roof the wind would actually completely block the spunds of the car.

But I also tried the microphone setup with the camera placed pretty much where you have it and the sound is picked up much better than the GoPro mic.

Now, you do have a newer model and maybe its been improved. But my GoPro Hero 3 has a not-so-good microphone.

This one I placed the camera in front of the exhaust grabbed to the bumper and the microphone is attached to the license plate frame so it can stay out of all the windstream.

unfortunately the hero 5 requires this huge brick adapter for a mic input since it has usb c Port. I've got a rode mic i use with my DSLR, but don't want to spend $50ish on an external adapter just yet. what did you use to mount the mic to the plate frame?

I see, its not the small connector I have on mine.

The base of the microphone has a small clip. I did not want to go too crazy and spend a lot on one without knowing the quality would be good.
