Default GoPro Wind Noise

In what seems to be the latest refinement in the GoPro camera, I have figured out how to stop that irritating wind noise on in-car video.

I drilled a 5/16th hole in the GoPro case, directly over the microphone. (The mic is the three small diagonal holes on the side of the camera.)

I then cut the tip from one of those foam packing "nipples" and pushed it through the hole in the case. Works as a perfect wind screen.

I drilled a hole over the mic, then put a peice of scotch tape over it. No issues.
