I suppose you've been asked this before, but what camera do you use, how is it mounted and what is the process of uploading to Youtube? Is it just clicking on Apps?
I'm thinking having a camera might get me on the bike more.
What cameras are good now if I go look on eBay? I suppose Go Pro. What about used Go Pros? Is buying one taking a big chance?
Being someone who has owned both "generic" action cameras, and a GoPro Session, here's my 2 cents:
A lot of "generic" action cameras do claim true 1080 resolution, the problem falls with the bit/sampling rate. My first camera I threw away because the sound was atrocious and eventually the sound didn't even cue with the video, then video was skipping. That was a waste of $90, and that was Sharper Image camera.
Last Christmas, the wife got me a GoPro Hero Session 4. I absolutely love it! The desktop editing apps for GoPro kind of suck, but the mobile smart phone editing is very cool and handy for short edits of 3 minutes or less. Longer edits, I Sony Movie Studio on my desktop.
But, the best bang for the buck is the Ion Air Pro. There is no preview screen, but due to it's torpedo shape, it is very easy to aim and know with confidence it has the right angle. 180* wide angle lenses, built in battery that lasts a couple of hours, and you can plug it right into your computer with a micro USB cable to transfer video files.
Here is a link to the Ion camera:

NOTE: There are some funny and sketchy fails and bails at the end of this one.
