My sister in law has her camera on the handlebar and you can't see a damn thing because it's so choppy. How do you keep yours so steady? Back in the day, I held my camera in my left hand and used my body as a stabilizer = worked GREAT - no vibration or giggling at all = crystal clear videos.
I bought a pair of sunglasses with built in 1080 video. works great except it moves with my head direction, which gets pretty blurry at times.

How do you keep the face shield clear of the rain drops? I tried that stuff you coat the shield with, doesn't work at all.
Try riding with out it !!!

Gary - The GoPro Hero 5 Black has the stabilization option. Since I'm on a Harley I just leave the feature on all the time. Still has a little bit of shake when taking off from a stop though but you would really have to look for it.

Keeping your shield clear is as simple as buying and applying this stuff, Nikwax Visor Proof. It sprays a fine mist which you work in to the shield with a circular motion. bave had this bottle for at least 5 years and I use it every time I clean helmet lens. You can thank me by buying me a replacement bottle when I need one. Maybe 5 more years....
