I know a few of you out there use GoPro's or similar... I borrowed one from a mate for a couple of days, with a helmet mount and a handlebar clamp mounting. I've tried both and had pretty awful results from each one, in different ways.

The helmet mount, aside from looking bleeding awful and making you look like you've a character from the tellytubbies on your head, is difficult to get the correct angle of elevation on... I suppose it'll be fine once I've sorted out what works, but today I got 50 minutes of handlebars and tyres, and Wednesday it was 30 minutes of sky with a bit of road at the bottom of the screen unless I was looking at the garmin.

The handlebar clamp however is much easier to align, but the image is barely watchable as it appears to have been filmed from the top of a road drill, not a relatively absorbent 'cross bike. I know the roads around here are awful in places, but jeeze... I could feel my fillings loosening just watching the playback... God only knows what it'd be like on the race bike with skinny tyres and a less compliant pair of wheels.

So, my question is this... How do you get something acceptable out of the kit... I know from other video work that there is software image stabilisation that can help a bit, but that's a big, time consuming thing to have to run your files through each time.
