Ok ive seen some phenom taping here tbrough the rough, how the hell do you guys get clear film. I.e. windrock. I tape with a chesty an when I hit anything roughthe cameta bounces around so much you can barely tell Im on a bike. Ie tried taping in most formats, what gives.

the problem is youre using video tape and not using spellcheck.



what are you using for mounts?

Are the straps good and tight, and have you tried any other mounts? I've never used the chest mount because I don't like the monkey arm look, but all the ones I've done from my helmet come out fine. Even the ones where I ghetto rigged some RAM mounts to my frame came out nice.

If you flip the go pro upside down in the chest mount, you should have a great angle for riding, and with less extensions you make a more solid ground for the camera so less shaking is done. Using the right video editing software you can turn it right side up and be happy

But i have turned away from the chest mount as it gets in the way of the leatt, and just did a side helmet mount, which i think is freaking awesome, you still can see what the bike is doing, and you see far enough on the trail when using 960p.
Just a even more solid mount on the helmet and even less vibrations since you body takes all that out.
check out a video of mine.

With the new firmware you can tell the gopro to record upside down so it looks normal on the computer .

I've always just stuck it to the side of the helmet and shot in 960 like you said.

Now that I have a new moto helmet I'm going to take my old one and use the base that the gopro comes in the box on and find a way to strap it to the chin guard like this guy did.

. You get a nice view of the trail, the bike, and the camera moving with your head adds to the "immersion" or whatever.
