Handlebar action camera mount
I recorded some video from a handlebar mounted camera this weekend, and the side-to-side motion is making me seasick.
Camera: GoPro HERO10
Configuration: 4K, 30 fps, Linear + Horizon Leveling, HyperSmooth: High
Mount: K-EDGE Go Big On-Center Mount
Bike: Trek Checkpoint with drop bars
The image stabilization was everything I expected, except that it captured every side-to-side steering movement. Maybe I lean too much on my bars, because every pedal stroke resulted in a movement to one side or the other, and the camera did little to hide it. IMO, it makes the footage unwatchable.
Is there some camera setting I am missing?
Is there another camera that compensates better?
Does anyone make a frame mount option? (I know about chest mount and helmet mount, but I was hoping to avoid those)

It looks as expected, pretty smooth except when you're working a bit more and learning into it. You could try a chest mount, but it will move when you stand. Or you could try a wider field of view to reduce the perception of side to side movement.
