One huge caveat
It’s durable. It blocks a lot of wind noise up to a certain point. If the wind is blowing, noise blockage is at its best. If you are also moving fast, the the wind is that much stronger and you will hear it against the mics.The one huge caveat is this: you have 20 minutes, tops, before your GoPro shuts down due to overheating.Depending on your shooting conditions and needs, this might be perfect for you. Or not.

Works pretty good, 1 flaw
I like this cover and it really cuts down on the wind noise. The hole for the power button is on the wrong side as if they didnt know how a GoPro is configured butyou can still push it through the foam and the lens cutout is the most important thing anyways. The price is exhorbitant for a 5-cent piece of foam but there arent many options.

Gets The Job Done
This doesn't fit as perfectly as the listing makes it seem to fit, but this gets the job done. It blocks the wind as promised, and it has no negative impact on the audio quality. The only thing keeping this from a perfect 5-star rating is the fitment.

Works good.
I use this for my GoPro on the motorcycle and it does a great job of cutting out the wind noise.

It does reduce wind peaks
The media could not be loaded. This is a pain to work with, unless you remove the door to the USB slot and manually cut a hole in the foam. I'm not sure why they didn't already include the hole. They added one for the on/off and start buttons. If you don't take those steps, you are going to spend several minutes each day just removing the foam to recharge your camera. That will eventually take it's toll on the foam. If you do take those steps, then you can keep the foam on constantly and leave your camera attached to your support device.It does work. It will clip the "peak noise" of the wind, but can't remove the sound of wind itself. It acts like a high pass filter and saves me time in post-production sound filtering for nature videos.I gave it three stars primarily for not thinking ahead and adding the USB hole and the user experience.I read the negative comments and was concerned about the "it doesn't work" and "it doesn't fit" comments. I think they are both related to users who aren't using the camera enclosure with the foam. If you put just the camera in the foam, it doesn't fit at all and it will move around probably making more noise due to the foam rubbing against the mic. Having it in the enclosure fills the foam and actually fits tight.One other thing is that, if you use the top/start button to stop your videos, you're going to get a nice loud crackle of noise as your finger slides against the foam to get to the button. Because the mic is right next to that button, I doubt there is any way to mitigate this.

MotoVlog Windscreen
I use this primarily as a windscreen for my GoPro Hero7 black when I'm riding my motorcycle. Picks up exhaust sound and does a great job cutting out nearly all of the wind noise. Buying a few more to keep as extras, as I've heard they can tear pretty easily.

Does the JOB at a super cheap price!
Just used this product over the weekend at what I thought would be a pathetic substitute for my external mic/windscreen I usually use for my Go Pro. I was AMAZED at how well it performed. I was in VERY high winds and although you could hear minor "puffage" from the wind you can still VERY clearly hear all voice. None of it was drowned out AT ALL by the wind. Not even for a few seconds! Very impressed with this product. My external mic still gives me slightly clearer voice but its windscreen does no better in my opinion than this little gem! And........it fits over the Go Pro housing after you place the camera inside! Buy now!

Its alright, good for the price
I use this on my Hero 9 black for moto vlogging and while it does do a good job for the most part, once you start going over 60 mph the wind noise starts to become loud again. Take note that this is with the "wind" setting set to "Off" on the camera to allow stereo sound, so maybe leaving Wind to "Auto" will completely remove the noise (not what I want because then the audio is in Mono). Overall its ok. works great for slower speeds below 60mph.

Esponja reductora del ruido del viento
Esta esponja funciona bien hasta 60 Km/h para moto-bloging. Arriba de esta velocidad se escucha nuevamente el ruido del aire. Es una buena opción por debajo de estas velocidades

Works ok
But falls apart too easy. Tears easily

Great wind cover for using on a kayak/canoe
Tried it out in front of a fan at home, turned on high. This is how I perform my wind tests before using products in the field. It worked great with my GoPro 9. I bought this product so that when I am in wet environments like canoeing or kayaking, and can't use the media mod (which has a built-in mic that is covered by foam as a windscreen), this will allow the sound to penetrate the two built-in mics without the annoyance of wind sound. You can't expect the GoPro to be waterproof when using the media mod so using this windslayer is a great idea for using the bare GoPro in potentially wet environments.

The product is poorly cut out
Aesthetically the cutouts for the screens and lense is poorly cut out. I would spend abit extra for a alternative brand or purchase the GoPro brand.

This item actually deserves 0 stars (but 1 star seems to be the selectable minimum)
The media could not be loaded. The holes are in the wrong place for the power button, record button and clamp fingers.This item is at an inflated price already; on top of that I had to pay duty to have it sent to Canada.I have since made it usable by cutting out the holes myself. Fortunately the mics are still foam covered.I've since ordered 2 more at a very cheap price from another supplier. Do yourself a favor and do the same.
