Angier,

Which version do you have? = ; I have no experience with the very latest (Hero 3+), but here's what I've= observed with Hero3 (Silver and Black):
 
Certain high bitrate modes cannot be previe= wed while recording (though I've not found any that won't preview when not = recording).  This includes whenever Protune is turned on, and 2.7k and= 4k (on the Black) when Protune is off.
Protune consumes more memory (and battery lif= e), but is good if you have dark and light areas.  For instance, if yo= u want to record in the cockpit and see both the panel and the view outside= I've found Protune to improve dynamic range.  It won't work perfectly= but has given me better results in that case than with Protune OFF.
 
Another tool is Spot mode.  This changes= whether to perform light metering on the whole image or just the center of= the image.  Spot mode OFF is probably more useful, but if you're figh= ting with an over- or under-exposed video you can use the spot mode.  = For instance, if you're shooting from inside the cockpit you'll probably&nb= sp;care either more about the inside or more about the outside.  = Just set spot mode ON and aim at whichever you prefer.  If you want to= see the panel (and you're okay with a slightly overexposed outside view) t= hen aim at the panel.  If you want to optimize the view outside (and a= re okay with the panel being a bit dark) then aim so the center of the= image points outside.  Like I said above, if you want both you may be disappointed, though Protune may help.
 
The higher the bitrates (higher definition, high= er framerates, Protune on, etc) will result in shorter battery life.  = If you want it to last a long time run 720 or 1080p at 30fps with Protune O= FF (or get a battery backpac to double the life).  I've found 60fps he= lps with the vibration, though a solid mount is a must.  Also consider= if you want to edit the videos later.  The higher settings will creat= e large files that can take a long time to post process.
 
BTW, I had trouble with the SandDisk microSD car= ds at the higher bitrates.  It would stop recording because the card c= ouldn't keep up.  The newer firmware for the GoPro actually checks wha= t card you use and throttles back the bitrate now so it shouldn't be a prob= lem.  But if you want the full bitrate look into which microSD cards a= re fully supported by GoPro.  SanDisk used to be their go-to provider = but I think GoPro has gone away from them now.
 
Good luck!
