This is the ongoing attempt to get a decent video uploaded. This time the camera is mounted on foam on a shaft at the back of the cage. It actually came out fairly well, however I am not sure what is happening during the upload. The master is not pixilated. It was taken early in the morning and I am headed East for much of the way. The short clip with the car in the sage is what caused a power glitch the night before. All that emptiness and wouldn't you know the poor sucker centered a telephone pole.

Looks like you got the shaking out. Have you put the wide angle lens on it yet?
I forget if you have to manually set the focus on infinity to keep it from
trying to focus on the windscreen or the cross bars,
but you probably got that figured out by now.
Course now you'll have to do something stupid just to get the shot.
I always figured "the engine's not going to quite for the
next five minutes, and this will look really good on the video".

Actually I really like flying like that, I am afraid. I think I am hooked. Every thing else is boring. I know, Old and bold keeps going through my mind. The only thing is that the engine quitting any where that I fly is going to be bad, unless I can force myself to fly over the roads, which is not happening. Almost anywhere around here is going to end in a tip over because of the sage, it is just a matter of how long you are going to be able to think about it and dread the landing, two minutes or 30 seconds. :-/
The lens is on wide angle. I actually used a Sony Video Camera that I had, mounted on a piece of alum angle iron bolted to the rear of the cage. I put a 5 inch piece of foam under the camera, and used the remote control to start and end the record function. This camera will run for about two hours on the same battery that the Hitachi only got 15 minutes out of.
