As always set it to 1080P and watching on mobile is useless.

I uploaded the same video clip before stabilization. The perimeter is back then making the camera angle look better. It is acceptable with the chest mount? The stabilization software seems to eliminate enough data to minimize Youtube from pixelating so much.

I'm still playing around with the mount and I've now used a clamp mount on the handlebars which is then mounted to those vibration reducing things used for drones then attached to the GoPro but what I'm finding is that the camera has eliminated the idle vibrations but it bounces like a yoyo on bumps whilst on the move.

Ideally I'd like to move it to somewhere on the plastics but I'd want to remove the vibration absorbing plate if I'm not using the camera.

Been there done that. Try a chest mount.

Been there, done that. Not a fan of having potential camera become a hook rather than letting me slide in an accident.

I can get things pretty good using the stabilization software (good stuff - not YT's) with a handlebar mount but it takes away some of the edges of the picture to stabilize it so one needs to start with as wide angle as possible. It's hard to beat the human body for dampening the shakes.

The Mobius cameras (very small compared to a Go Pro in a case) and mounts we are using are so thin and made of plastic that they will fold up/break away with very little pressure.
