I use Microsoft movie maker, piece of cake but I have used the Gopro program but that is slow & harder to use, I also have ASV editor but it takes ages to process so I keep going back to movie maker & it's free

I use

Sony Vegas Pro v13

but they also make a really easy version to use which is Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13.0

there are heaps of tutorials on youtube on how to use it, nice and easy to use and some good encoding routines specifically for youtube to get very good results

best to shoot 1080p ntsc 24fps, that encodes well for youtube

get the Torrent file to give it a try

I record all my videos in 960 25fps 960 will give you more up & down so the angle does not have to be 100%, nothing worse than the camera too high or too low

Do you have a peak on your helmet ? if so drill a hole in it and mount the gopro upside down up against the top edge of the helmet

I have my Xiaomi Yi mounted that way and had my old GoPro 2 mounted the same way

All these cameras have a setting for upside down.

it gives a great view with some of the bars and controls in the shot, stays protected all the time and it protects the lens from lens flare when riding into the sun

I picked up a tripod mount with a 1/4 - 20 screw fitting in the bottom of it

works a treat..

 You know that setting is just a crop of the 1080 setting,

I'm lucky with my Yi camera, blue tooth with the app so you can frame up your view and know you are getting the shot you want.

I agree, makes for crap video when they are pointed wrong, my old GoPro 2 didn't have blue tooth, trial and error till you get it right

I bought this lot http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/59-in-1-Pole-Head-Chest-Mount-Strap-GoPro-Hero-2-3-4-Camera-Accessories-Set-Kit-/181930585666?hash=item2a5be86e42:g:8X4AAOSwcdBWRD2E and there is a great mount that I fit on my rucksack strapsmilesmile Love where it mounts as you can see the top of the camera and easily press the button when starting recording and stopping recording.

I have the session

 GoPro Hero4 Session - A Smaller GoPro Video Camera - Asphalt & Rubber

Only two hours of battery, but then I only turn it on when starting a lane and turn off at the end, also I have not edited any footage yet, as I just upload the lane that I have recorded.

What I love about it, is that for a small cheap camera, it is fully waterproof and easy to usesmile
