...made the same mistake with the audio when I was filming the car.
The wind noise killed it! I was using a lipstick camera...mounted
down on the side of the car, right behind the front wheel.
My filming was simply windy country roads. It's pretty wild seeing the
road rush by, seeing branches/brush slap the camera in the face,
stones flying on hard corners etc etc.
I'll remember as well to use a remote mike 'inside' the car
next time so you can hear the engine revving. :-)
