Hi Danny,
I get a fair bit of wind noise if I try to record with the windows down or the sunroof open. I usually use a dashcam, but I'm going to try putting my camera on the dashboard and recording with that.

Who will win this battle will it be .....

Our number one photographer from the west
Or
Our fast two Capris with a new manifold from the east ( well sort of east )

I've not tried a dashcam (don't have one) and I always try to use my phone but the wind noise is just crazy - I'll have a google today and see what it recommends haha
