Default On Track Video?

My first time trying to video has way too much wind noise. Any tips on how to reduce to tolerable levels? Thanks.

You could always drive slower...

You might be able to play with the microphone's sensitivity? Alternatively, you may even want to plug in a mike and wire it somewhere where you could hear conversation (assuming you have an instructor or the such) but not wind noise...

Put tape over the cameras microphone.

Can still hear the engine, but not the wind noise

I have a separate microphone (cheap). I put it in the center console or behind the driver seat.

On my motorcycle(lots of wind noise) I use a piece of foam held down with velcro, but you could use tape. You will need to experiment a little depending on your camera and mounting location. On my bike it works great, just the right amount of engine and wind noise. I can talk(yell) and it picks that up really well too, but the camera is mounted on my gas tank and my head is right above it.
