Windows Movie Maker... Easy and free!

BTW.... Another thing I like about the Ram ball mount on the handlebar rather than the crashbar is that you can actually set the friction zone so that you can have some limited control on "swiveling" the camera with your left hand for some sideview shots while on the fly. If doing this, I defintely reccommend a tether.

Kind-of a long video clip here.... but if you forward through it you'll see where I'm able to get some fairly decent sideview shots of my rid'n brother.

Just thought I'd mention this new camera mount that is really slim and unobtrusive, yet you can set angles just about any way you want. Instead of rhino or plastic parts with big *****, it's made of stainless steel with two flex joints: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/CTGY/cameras.html

Very nice ride video clint55, I'm laid up with a healing leg after patellar tendon repair and haven't been able to ride in about 6 weeks. Almost like being back in the saddle again...Thanks!

I used a really strong magnet. Easy to move, for different shots and angles. Fun Stuff.

Having some JD this is a shameless plug, you can film your bud's having some fun too. This is my bud filming from his Can'AM Spyder.
