TimTheAzn Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 So some of the tabs broke off of my GoPro3 housing last year and I'm looking to by another. 1st question I have is, should I go with a skeleton case or a sealed case? I'd like to capture some of the engine noise and don't want the wind to drown it out too much. 2nd question I have is, these damn cases are like $60 if I buy a GoPro branded one. Anyone have any luck with after market cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 The open case usually make the wind noise really bad. I run the sealed case and I believe that is what Ryan used if you want some videos on youtube to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have had really good luck avoiding wind noise using the chest-mount. It would seem the flyscreen on the streety deflects the wind just enough to go up and over the camera. Honestly if you want a good mic setup for engine noise, you should run a permanent wired mic down near your exhaust and plug it into the gopro. The onboard mic isn't the greatest and all of the research I've done on getting rid of wind noise puts the 1st party gopro foam cube (windslayer) at the top, but it's only good up to about 30mph then the wind gets loud again. You also can't use a case with the windslayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 +1 on what Andy said. If you really want good audio from a GoPro, you need an external mic and probably a fur mic cover to help with the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm far too cheap to buy an external mic. I'll probably go with the sealed like the one I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you own the backpack? I bought one and have never been able to get more than 1 person audio to come in. As soon as the 2nd person connects, audio cuts out completely on the vids... We recorded a ton of video on our Canada trip last summer....all silence! :-( Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any luck with after market cases? Heard good things about cheapbay stuff, never tried it so far but going to experiment with this year. But cheapbay housing and drill holes and cover with soft textured kids toy like cloths to minimize the wind. Full sealed cases might end up causing fogging issue.
