I am using a GoPro mounted to a bike to capture crews rowing in a boat next to a (gravel) bike path. I am mostly happy with what the GoPro offers except that I need a less wide-angled view. For better quality and having access to zoom lenses, I am considering using a camcorder instead. However, I am worried that mechanical vibrations are going to break the camcorder which I would expect containing moving parts whereas a GoPro has none. Any recommendations from people taking videos by mounting them to vehicles (rather than holding them)?
