GoPro Settings

I like to mount it on my helmet, but I found that having it up on top I couldnt see any of the bike. So I played around with it a little, and I found that mounting it upside down, either right where the mouthpiece is, or on the side, but both UPSIDE DOWN, you get a perfect angle of the bike and the road, plus when you look around the camera sees everything you see (obviously). I didnt have an issue with battery time so I went out and bought an LCD backpack, which really helps with aiming and reviewing videos and such. I leave my settings in 1080P. Here's a little preview, mounted upside down on the helmet I used the links to try to get the camera as low to my shoulder as I could without hitting it when I turn my head. Giving a GREAT angle! Yes I know the chick on the GSXR 750 is drop dead sexy, and yes I know I ride like a ......., yes that was a cop we were following, and near the end of the video yes that was cop we got pulled over by, no we didnt get a ticket... Enjoy! (Taken last year on my 848)

The chest strap gives a good overall view.

Ok here's one... Anyone use the new iPad to edit go pro footage using iMovie? And if so are you getting any problems like I am? Keeps crashing, which is very in-apple like!

More info?

What resolution/setting are you recording at?
Hz?
PAL / NTSC?
Converting the file to anything else before importing?
How are you getting it onto the iPad?
How big is the movie file?
What are you doing when it crashes?
Is it always when you are performing this task or random?

Go to GoPro.com and download the GoPro Cineform Studio. This might help. It's GoPro's actual video software that they use to edit videos. Works pretty well and VERY user friendly. Just put your info in and it will prompt you to start the download.

Got some good video to put up, but tryin to figure out how to blur or blackbar my license plate. Anyone have any idea how I can do this? Or know a good editing program I can use. I have the GoPro Cineform and Windows Live Moviemaker.

If someone should try mounting the camera with sticky-tape on the gastank...
I should warn you guys! A Belgian bikemagazine mounted their camera on the gastank and when they pulled it off a big chunk of red paint came with it. You could clearly see the aluminium patch underneath.


I'll see if I can scan the pictures .

Personally I have a ContourHD but i'm not to happy with it. I'm probably buying the Hero2 in the near future
