I mount the GoPro on a Ram Mount, on the handlebar. Other than bumps in the road I get no vibration. I alleviated the wind noise by using one of those cheapo microphones that come with computers. The wire is long enough that I have the microphone mounted on the rear fender. I get no wind noise and good engine/exhaust noise.
I've moved the microphone up to the top of the fender since this picture was taken. It's almost hidden from view now.
Just curious. What models of GoPro are you using? White/Black etc. I'm thinking of getting one myself. Had a great ride last week here in AZ that would have made a great vid.

I use the Hero 4 black. I normally run 1080@60 unless I want to conserve some space on the card then I will knock it down to 30fps.

I like the road and scenery, but all that head movement ends up making me dizzy. It takes the focus away from the subject of the video.
I took the camera off the helmet for that reason I have tried it on the handle bars and crash bars and a pole mounted on the passenger backrest above my head that I can turn in any direction The handle bar mount seems to work the best for me but the pole mount gives you the best shots except when you hit any kind of good sized bumps. I use a GoPro hero 3 black
Guys,
I have used my Go Pros for years now. I have a Hero 2 and a Hero 4. Both work with my wrist remote control. I mount one on my helmet facing forward and one on my wife's helmet facing backwards. I take numerous 30-60 second snip-its. If I am on a really neat windy road, I may take 5 minutes or so. As long as you don't whip your head around, the video is the best. I load the videos and all iPhone pictures into my audio/video editing program and make a DVD of each trip.
I have every mount conceivable and have mounted them all over my bikes. At low speeds or even idle, the shake is very bad so finally I just gave up and went with the helmet mounts. If you can find a place to mount that doesn't have a lot of waving, let me know. I live in Phoenix and thank God we can ride year round!
