    Light smoke vs clear windscreen

    I'm in the market for a windscreen. Not sure which brand yet but it'll be between a light smoke or clear. I like the look of a dark smoke but I plan on using a GoPro so dark smoke is out of the question. I know the clear would be ideal but if I get a light smoke, would the GoPro have an issue shooting through it?

    Even better, if you guys can post photos or videos of a GoPro shooting through a light smoke windscreen.

    Give me some opinion!

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.

    track use - clear
    street use - tinted

    either screen wont make a difference in your recording
