Thanks!
Here's a pic of the setup.

The gimbal is the feiyu G4

Two clamps. One to hold the gimbal and one to latch onto the headlight mount

And the articulating arm between the two clamps:

There's a ton of different brands of articulating arms but the cheaper ones usually don't hold.

I'll post a better pic of the setup when I get back to my motorcycle.

Personally I'd buy a Feiyu G4 Gimbal and a refurbished Hero4 Silver

Total cost is around $408 compared to around $600 ($599.98 = $699.98 - $100)

The extra $200 buys you the latest camera with voice control that's water resistant without a case and a gimbal that turns on the camera and the gimbal at the same time (which is very nice compared to the Feiyu option.)

I have a Hero4 Silver and Feiyu G4 and I'm pretty happy with it.

This is a good place to start. Here are a few more thoughts/suggestions:

  • Check the contents of the Lexar card, mine came with a mini card reader that works well.
  • The gopro battery will be the limiting factor when continuously recording, you should test the maximum recording time before your wedding. Use the same settings and try to recreate the temperature it will be running at during the wedding.
  • I highly suggest a product like this to give you peace of mind when you are using your gopro in the water. There are several cheap options on amazon.
  • One thing that nobody has mentioned in this thread yet is sound. If you want the dialogue from your ceremony to come through the gopro will have to be very close. If there is wind it will be even more difficult to hear you. You'll get the best results if the case is not on.
  • If any of your guests own gopros I'm sure they will be bringing them. See if they will let you borrow them for the wedding and pull the footage off of them afterwards. This way you can have multiple angles and make a really nice video later on. If he's up to it you can have the officiant wear a chest mounted gopro which will give a nice up close perspective and probably capture the best sound. You can get creative with any other angles.
  • This flexible tripod is one of my favorite accessories. It's so versatile and can be mounted to just about anything. There are cheaper alternatives on amazon, I chose this one because it has a level (it was also $20 at the time I bought it).
  • The Suction Cup is also a very useful tool for mounting the gopro. I suggest getting the gopro brand because it is sturdy and the suction cup is very strong.
  • I would leave most of the settings alone. There is a ton of information on this subject and it can be overwhelming. My two cents are to use 2.7K resolution wide for most everything. If you want slow motion use 1080p at 60 FPS.
  • One of the biggest problems with most people's videos are that they are shakey as hell. Try to keep the camera steady if possible. If you want to expand your budget a bit you can purchase a gimbal which will give you very very good results. Understandably those are out of most peoples' budgets and there are other techniques you can use to keep the camera steady by using the pole that will give decent results.
  • If your gopro is in a cool/cold hotel room and you take it outside into the hot/humid air fog will condense on the lens. Once the lens warms up the fog will go away.
  • Make sure you play with your gopro before hand so that you get a good feel for it and you can get any questions out of the way a head of time.

    Feel free to ask any questions you might still have. Also, congratulations and good luck!

Solution (though not very cheap)

What was with the camera doing barrel rolls?

EDIT: oh, steering wheel. I got one of these which I strap to my remote control car. It works a treat. Could definitely work in a car too, just fasten the handle and let the head keep things stable on rough roads.

Most places I go are paved, but are frequently a fair drive away. I made this timelapse a few years back of one place we go. 400 kilometre/4+ hour round trip. Wasn't anything particularly unusual, I just wanted to see how much footage fitted on my dashcam at the time and thought it would be a cool clip:

A few guys do the out west stuff, which is over 1000 kilometres of driving round trip. I think the furthest I've driven was 5600 kilometres round trip, but that was over the course of a week doing a heap of little jobs on the way. Brisbane -> Cooktown with deviations to most major cities on the way for those familiar with Australia.

And some unrelated silliness from way back in the day when I was but a naughty young apprentice that happened to be in my YouTube list near the timelapse:

Here's a handheld gimbal for $200 USD, just a little bit cheaper:

I use this one, works perfectly fine

A lot of people seem to recommend this one:

Feiyu Tech Phone Gimbal

It's $215 right now, so it's cheaper than some, but the footage I've seen with it seems to be pretty smooth.

No it's really easy ... I got a Feiyu G4 stabiliser for my GoPro, it's sick!

thanks for the tips!

Is this the gimbal you mentioned? https://www.amazon.com/3-Axis-Handheld-Gimbal-Cameras-Similar/dp/B00T32A0K6

Did you get the yi 4k? Any lack of software compatibility? (err, I guess it's just a bunch of avi or dvi files. just no gopro software).

That looks like a mean little point and shoot Canon! Probably great size to have on the slopes.

Do you mean that you literally ride filming with the gimbal in your pocket? wow!

I brought both my GoPro Handler and Feiyu G4 in the parks Saturday and Sunday. Had them both on the top of my camera equipment and pulled them out first thing saying "these don't extend" and showed them.

If you demonstrate that you know what they're looking for and aren't packing what they're looking for it's generally not a problem. "Worst" I had was one guard warning me to be careful with my collapsible tripod.

I think you will find a drone frustrating to carry around. If I were you I'd spend the money on a gimbal to make your gopro footage more usable. I've used this one before and it makes a huge difference: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00T32A0K6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Zz.wxbSXB8R1K
