what are some good angles for my gopro and what kind of mounts should i use

70 degree angle with chest mount.

45 Degree angle chest mount so you can video your penis.

Yeah because those m3's give boners

I open my sunroof, then use the suction cup mount on top of the sunroof, mounting the camera down inside the car. The camera will be upside down. This does a good job of capturing what's ahead of you while also getting your steering input. It doesn't work great if you have a passenger, though. If you put the camera in the center the rear view mirror blocks most of what's ahead.

Wow good idea!

[rcsoundn1]

I think this depends on what you want to capture? What is your goal here?

[socalife]

I would want for me to be in the video as well as outside so either head mount or camera hanging down

Hey all
I have a gopro hero 3 black and I'm running it on a mac with 2.4GHz core 2 duo with 4GB of ram. Any ideas what settings I should use to have it not so choppy, I've played around with it a bit but cant seem to figure it out.

I have the suction mount. works great!

I just got this camera and noticed the same issue. Unfortunately, for all the money we spent, Apple couldn't pony up for some actual graphics cards or decent processors. For best results, film in 720p. 30fps will be easier to play but will get jell-o effect in a car. I use 60fps. Playing in quicktime has less choppiness than VLC for whatever reason as well. Lastly, choppiness will be reduced if you play the video off your hard drive and not off the SD card.

I agree with the above statement. BUT...

Try downloading the GoPro Studio App for free from the GoPro website. It sucks but to view it without being so choppy you need a media player that doesn’t take up a lot of resources to run on your computer.

You can also load the high-res 60 fps footage into the GoPro Studio or iMovie, trim out the good parts, and export the video as a compressed 30 fps video that will be optimized for playback.

Once the movie is uploaded to youtube there should be no choppiness.

Most of R3V would need it pointed much closer to the body #smallpenisproblems
