This is for those of you who have experience with video cameras mounted to the Super Hawk. I just bought a RAM mount for mine and did a little experimental ride around the neighborhood using the video function on my Canon digicam.
The mount works great, but the video is horrible. The IS function was on when I took the video, but the vibration made the video really blurry. Way too blurry to be acceptable to me.
I'm seeking tips for successful on bike videotaping from those who have done it.

There are two types of image stabilization: electronic and mechanical. The first is fake and the latter is the real deal. If your camera is on the low end price wise, it most likely has electronic.

Also the wider the lens angle, the less prone to image shake. You can buy screw on wide angle adapters for many cameras but good ones cost good money; as much as some of the low end cameras themselves.

Next, any shock dampening of the camera itself works wonders. I mount mine in the tank bag stuff with clothing (extra ride gear while on a trip) or towels if riding locally.

Lastly, still camera video on lower end cameras is a compromise all ready.
