Depends on what you want to achieve, unless it's very consistent conditions then auto will do a better job.

24/25/30fps you won't see a difference, all that affects is that it then goes 48/50/60, 96/100/120, 192/200/240, etc, which again are too close to notice.

Protune is only worth messing with if you're trying to get a particular shot, e.g. with the camera static as you ride past, or entering/exiting the woods and want it setup correctly for the bit you want to use.

What I use on my GoPro 8 is the following...... taken from a hot shot US rider's recommendations......  Used in First Person POV on chest harness.

Res/FPS: 4K/30
Lens: Superview
Hypersmooth: On
Low Light: N/A
Zoom: 1.0x
Clips: Off

Protune
-------

BitRate: High
Shutter: Auto
EV Cmp: -0.5
White Balance: 5500K
ISO Min: 100
ISO Max: 800
Sharpness: Medium
Colour: GoPro
RAW Audio: Off
Wind: On

I'm happy enough with the result (other than my actual riding ability). I do a basic edit using Shotcut.

Here's an example of what those setting produce. Please don't judge the riding 🙄

@cogglepin   I think the settings you use need a bit of experimentation. For instance, I believe a lot of purists prefer COLOUR being set to FLAT to give more flexibility in post-processing. for me, I rather like the GoPro Colour setting.
