I recently bought a Vicovation Vico-Marcus 4 UHDR XHD Camcorder and while the video quality is great, the audio is garbage. The low end response is horrible and makes my G sound like a weed eater with a trash can as a muffler. My BB10 has a better mic and I consider their mics on the low end.

I have considered using a gopro as it audio recording out of the box is quite nice and has the ability to plug in a external one. Anyone have a car cam that has great quality audio or an option to add a external mic?

I have searched here, but the threads seem to be out of date.

I do not need any feedback on why a gopro is bad for a car cam. I have already read enough of that already.

 

Last year I did a cross country road trip in my G. Took a GoPro to record the drive and here is my setup with the mic to record the exhaust sound


Its a Sony stereo mic And I wrapped it in foam to reduce the wind noise.
There are special wind noise reducing covers you can get for these mics and some can cost you $50. I made one out of foam and it worked just fine. If foam would have more dense It'd probably be even better.
That particular foam is a piece of a tile grout sponge I got from hardware store

And here is what it sounds like

 

Great quality pic and sound. Must have been a fun trip. What makes your car should like it needs to clear its throat? Gurgly sound?

 

That sounds pretty good and it definitely cuts down on the wind noise. I will keep that in mind.
