I haven't tried to upload to youtube, I just downloaded it to my personal computer. I may try to upload to youtube just to see the difference, but mainly I want the shaking to be gone for my personal viewing.

I used the suction cup mount last weekend and don't notice much shaking and it was rough, now the sun hitting the lens sucked.

It sure looks a lot smoother on video than it was

Thanks for all the replies guys!!! I figured out what I was doing wrong. Granted I have only used the suction mount a coupe of times, but my dumbazz didnt pull the lever completely up and I didn't look at the video until after I got home!

Hello Everyone; After interviewing a couple of you for the GoPro Beta test, I have come to realize that the configuration of this particular testing may not be conducive to this forum. Specifically, one aspect of the test includes the Self Adhering Flat Mounts. While GoPro states that the mounts and associated adhesive can be removed with heat, many of you have indicated a desire to stick with the Suction Cup mounts versus the flat mounts. For those I has spoken with, I'll keep you in mind for upcoming testing.

It was nice getting to meet many of you. You have a very cool hobby. My first exposure to OffShore (GoFast) boats was from Miami Vice when I was a much younger person. I still think they are amazing.

I am sure you will enjoy it. Here is a video from a project we worked on w/GoPro. This new Dive Housing was just released. Amazing captures:

Did the same thing with mine, put the suction cup on and didn't pull the lever to scure it. Great little camera. I used the case with the open back the first weekend I had and then used the solid rear door because I mounted it on the tip of my boat, all was good until I started to go fast and the lense fogged up????? And when I slowed down it cleared up, I think the case got cooler and the camera was warm causing the fog look, guess I'll have to stick with the open back door and hope I don't plant the nose

What's everyone using for video editing? I have Movie Edit Pro but when I went to activate the MEG4 feature I was told it didn't support it so now I have to find something new. To bad I had phone with it, but I really want something I can edit with the MPEG4 format. Any free trials to download anywhere?

I shoot lots of videos with GoPro but mine are all underwater...

Currently working on a specialized GoPro casing / mount to absorb a certain amount of vibration...
Will post the details once the mount has achieved the targeted benchmark.
