Charlie -
Having never shot a single frame with a GoPro, I'll leave the advice on that to others. P.S. I am about to shoot LOTS of frames with
this when it arrives
Inbuilt stabilization.
I think your current choices and workflow sound fine, if you're happy with what you're getting out of your GoPro. Paul's advice is spot on - do some testing using (& editing) Protune in both modes. e.g. shoot a similar sequence in various modes and see what works best for you. No doubt, your trip back to Nam will leave you with many hours of clips... if you shoot it in ProTune Cam Raw, that'll be that. You'll have to process it before editing.
N.B. Don't bother testing Protune in low light!
I understand what you mean about shooting while walking with such a light camera. It'll wobble all over the place with or without the limp! I also have a little Sanyo Xacti that's prone to camera shake. Without using a steady cam device, two things that have helped with that are (a) mounting the camera on a monopod for walking (b) holding the top of the camera to my lip (the head is steadier than the hand). Not anywhere near as good as a steady cam, but cheaper!
Cheers - Tony
