Anyone here shoot POV driving videos with GoPro?

[suhhh]

My lovely girlfriend just got me the newest GoPro Hero 8 for my birthday and I'm beyond ecstatic and hype to use it. Been telling her for so long how I thought all these youtube POV driving videos are so cool and how I thought it'd be cool to record some of the night runs I do.

I'm wondering the optimal settings to use and where to place it, I've seen some people say put it on a hat and avoid the headband etc.

I know nothing about GoPro as this is my first so any tips are helpful, thanks!

I do have the one that you put on your head but I haven’t used it yet. I bought a double suction thing where you can place your gopro on it and mount it on either driver or passenger side mirror.

Hahahha I love the new picture man

But yeah I was going to look into something like that too, it'd be cool to have it outside but I feel like wind noise would be too much. Maybe something for the dash is better

One more thing, if you plan on doing the external mic, don’t buy the gopro jack. It’s crap man. Mine was useless after a couple of shots. When I used it at the 2018 F1 USGP in COTA, the sound was distorted.

I made a short little POV video, it wasn't too bad. I have the original Session and I just used the regular headstrap and default settings, albeit it was a day run, not night like you mentioned. GoPros aren't regarded for their nighttime capabilities.
