Default GoPro users, wind noise help.

Hi all.
Yesterday afternoon I was talking to my son about the induction roar of the qjet and we decided to go out and make a short video.
We stuck his GoPro on the car and got some video but the sound was very poor with too much wind noise.

What do you use to help combat this, external mic, modified casing etc.

Would be nice to match the hi quality video with some decent sound.

That would be okay if I wanted a good sales pitch.
I was wondering what some of the users on here do as I've seen several GoPro videos posted with good sound.

I did check you tube after posting. Would be nice to hear from someone that has done it but we will give it a try.
I also found out it also depends on what case you use. I will check with my boy and get something sorted.

If you look around online for 'microphone windscreens,' you should find some solutions.

Here's a head worn mic I've used for years in public vehicle based tour work. Scroll down and click on 'Accessories' - you'll see 'wind screens' pictured upper left:

I forget what the GoPro microphones look like, but it's possible you can adapt these windscreens to cut the noise distraction.
