Recording exhaust sound on the move.

[Acethepower]

Hi all,

I recently went on a little road trip to Yorkshire/ Lake District with a mate and thought "I'll take my GoPro and put together a short video to remember it".

While I did get some really good camera angles from outside and inside of the car, the audio left a lot to be desired. On the external shots the wind noise was unbearable.

My friend had one of those Amazon special fantaseal mics for his GoPro, but even that wasn't great.

What I'd like to achieve for future trips is good quality audio of exhaust notes, gear changes and other miscellaneous car sounds from a standalone device that can be inside or outside the car.

My current setup is
Clio 182 (bog standard)
GoPro hero 3 +silver edition
Open back door (under 100mph)

Im open to any suggestions as I am very new to this.

Cheers

Cheers for these responses guys,

While my budget unfortunately cannot stretch to £1500 it is very interesting to know how the pros do it.

The zoom method is interesting as well. Which model of zoom mic are you using? The quality sounds great.

Cheers in advance
