My video from the other side of the car.

 

Mine showed up today.... So what settings do you pros recommend?

 

Just trial and error with this camera. This is what I use for the video I do.

A baseline for the Hero2:

Night video ( those settings have less of the star effect when recording with the any lights on)
720 - 60 fps
FOV 720p wide

Day video (drawback uses up the sd card more but the picture quality is great) (Long time to upload to youtube etc)
1080 - 30 fps
FOV 1080p wide or narrow (depends on the video i am shooting)

Center dot on all video shooting
I like the 1 button on for all my video just for piece of mind knowing that it is on
I also like the light blinking showing me that the camera is on

Hope this helps everyone with their Hero2.

 

I use 1080 and wide angle on mine

just found this site that has polarizing lenses for the housing (less glare from the sun the better) gonna try this out when I get it.

actually bama, im pretty sure that for night videos you're going to want the least fps possible. day time 60fps for sure as the extra frames acts somewhat as an image stabilization measure. as for the spot metering being on i agree 100%

 

i bet those little things degrade the image quality. these guys actually make an adapter so that you can use real circular polarizers like you would on a dslr http://www.snakeriverprototyping.com/BlurFix.html

1080p is nice and all if you want to watch it on your tv at home, but for the web 720 is all you need. also it helps keep the file size a little bit smaller
