if anyone has a tascam digital recorder handy, i highly recommend using that as the mic and preamp. just set the mic level using the display (mine is set at 4 on the dial), and turn up the output level until the gopro clips on the loudest passage. in my case my gopro started clipping at 14, so using 12 clicks from zero output level. this is by far the best sound. i can choose to just stand-by in record mode (battery lasts forever) on the tascam or actually record so i have real audio + audio going to the gopro (with 2000mAh eneloops it can run 5-6hrs no issue at 320bps MP3).

oh yah, i also got the windcutter 'stormwatcher' deadcat over the weekend and tried it on my real sony mic for gopro. worked great! was going 60mph with driver side window down, no wind noise saturation.

other then that i think i might swap out my stereo speakers this summer.
So if you record from the Tascam and the GoPro, do you just use the GoPro audio to sync the Tascam audio? Also can you run the Tascam in the cabin and an external mic placed near the exhaust?

I can take video and pictures no problem, the whole audio recording and syncing thing has me
