Default Touring with a GoPro?

There has been recently a few posted YouTube filmed tours made by Barners. Nice addition to Barner participation with their model A. It's cool!!!

What I'd like to know is:
The model number that most use, cost, how mounted, where to get best buy and.....does it take rocket science edgmakation to operate it, edit it and post it? What's all needed?

Thanks

All I know is, if you use the suction cup mount to mount the gopro to a Model A windshield, your video will be very blurry until you shut the motor off.

Ed I've just used my iPhone 6 mounted to my wife's hand, they work great because they filter out the vibration.

Well, I'm SOL there, I don't have any of my wives anymore and I have an old style flippy phone.

I've been doing a lot of research and until I get to Best Buy or somewhere else that have electronic GEEKS, I can only assume I'm learning anything.

Most of what I've seen, the lens is just behind the driver centered.

I too use my nagagator to take video. It helps to loosen the mufler clamp to blockout background noise.

Any of the gopros do a good job, the newer ones (version 3 and newer) are a smaller form factor and handle light/dark better. I use a 3+ model with a 32GB memory card, probably can get 1.5 hours of HD recording. I have one of the sticky tape mounts stuck to the back window in my coupe. They are easy to use, but you'll need to learn to run some editing software to piece it all together.

I've used the GoPro Hero 4 for the videos I've done. The suction cup attached to the windshield will work but you can get some vibrations. It is nice to have it ready to go so you can turn it on and off as needed.

Aloha,
I used my go pro and the suction cup and stuck it to the back window, and it looks great, the angle of view on the go pro is almost 180 degrees and being such a wide angle you don't notice the shake. Worked great for me.

Fantastic!!! Thanks...I enjoyed that greatly. That would make anyone want to get out and go right now!!! I would probably do that right now if I had your weather. Love your interior also.

Thanks again

I'm thinking about getting the new GoPro Hero...one that I can afford at the moment attaching it to the back window.

Might be too much for me to handle.........That GoPro download is free and I like free things. Since it's free, if it doesn't look like it's meant for me, I can always seek something else out.

I'll go with the suction cup also. Seems it can go anywhere.

Had to watch that again....love the music. Was that added during editing or was it being played during the trip?
