GoPro Wind Noise Test - Waterproof Backdoor vs Skeleton Backdoor vs Micover

GoPro HD Hero2 mounted to front windshield.
Acceleration on freeway to 65 MPH.
All audio in video was "normalized" to compare apples to apples.
The "clicking" noise only occurs at slower speeds WITHOUT the use of the rubber quick release stopper lock.

#1 - Waterproof Backdoor
#2 - Non-Waterproof Skeleton Backdoor
#3 - Non-Waterproof Skeleton Backdoor With Micover
#4 - Non-Waterproof Skeleton Backdoor With Micover & Rubber Stopper Lock

Very nice video...looks like even with the Micover it is still hard to take out the wind noise?

@turbopimpin That's what I noticed also. The Micover muffles the wind noise "slightly". I ordered another Skeleton Backdoor to test the use of painters tape over the two slotted holes on the back.

@kamaro68 Have you tried putting the painters tape over the two holes yet? I'd like to know how that worked out for you.
