Hi,
I shot some video from a Panasonic V720 camera on the fully automatic setting, but the video had far too much shaking in it. I tried the various setting on PD 13 stabiliser (the new version has really helped some of my old video) but that video seems beyond repair. I think if i use the manual shutter setting to up the shutter speed i would improve future video. Does anyone have a suggestion of what speed to set the camera for bright sunlight - I don't use the motorbike unless the weather is good

I can set the speed right up to 1/8000.
Thanks
Doc

Stabilizer won't eliminate bike vibrations. Change the mounting to isolate vibrations or... use a camera with CCD sensor.

I agree with SoNic67,

You need some kind of vibration isolation mount.

CCD sensor will not make any difference. CCD is a type of image sensor.

Doctor Keo I started playing around back in 2005 shooting video of a motorcycle. I was using a Sony DV cam. I would get shots at first where even the grass was white at times because of the sun. You have to get the exposer right. on the Sun light even the GoPros have trouble with the sun in front or off the side of you. Play with the aperture like f22. Vibration is something you will have to work out. You will fine the best shots come from where the sun is to your back.

Here is a internet friend that shoots holding it in his hand plus using a GoPro at times now. He has a strap with the camera in front of him.

Like I said, for vibrations, a CCD camera like this one is better option:
