To me, this camera looks a lot like yours, Larry. Can you tell if it is the same one?

It appears the same, indicator lights are different. Mine  comes with a 2 gig card installed. It will accept an 8 gig card however. I think  most all of this stuff comes from the same Chinese factory.

I added a sun screen to the little camera since glare  really screws thing up.

 [img]cid:48B2397B915A49A499F3A44291F00B90(at)larryPC[/img]

  

 Then I mounted it to my door using a piece of foam and a  small bungee cord.

 [img]cid:10C15CA16A054EDA828502A7FDA8C4E8(at)larryPC[/img]

  

 I got it pointing a bit too much to the left, but it is  loads better than what I had yesterday. There is still a bit of wave to it, but  much improved.

 OK BB, I took your advice and added some music and cut out  the engine noise, I hope you are happy.

You have a winner there Larry.  Thanks for sharing.



You wonder about who might have lived in the shack you flew past and how he lived.

Great stuff, Larry. When the sun was on the left side of the FS the reflection in the door enables the viewer to see landscape on the right, outside of the view. Pretty cool.

I didn't like the rather unsecure position of the camera  bungeed to the door. I did like being able to reach out and turn it on or off,  but what the heck, I generally don't fly more than 1.5 hours at a time anyway.  Besides then I can show the whole trip to the wife, if she is  interested.

  

 So I made an aluminum tab to go behind my Pito tube. I  have one of those that has a nut to tighten it to the plane. I then took some  dense foam and cut a pocket in it to hold the camera, and went flying. Well it  was better, but it was a bit wavy, so I made a new one of 1/8th alum bar and put  that one on.

 [img]cid:A64968EB11D8498586D69E2F3D251F19(at)larryPC[/img]

  

 Then out the camera on a thin strip of foam and secured it  with a rubber band. That made me a bit nervous so I put a piece of tape as a  security feature. It is well that I did. When I got back I found that the rubber  band had broken.

  

 [img]cid:DB54E8F1A70247ECA0475878C8B8B7D8(at)larryPC[/img] 

  

 The vibration that is such a problem every where else is  non existent at this point, and the camera view is much better. One bug scoring  a direct hit will wipe every thing out however. 

  

 I flew for one hour and  5 minutes. The file size was  1.2 gigs. I then edited it down to two clips of 4 and 5 minutes, and they are  being posted to You Tube, and face book now.

 Very nice... your music selection wouldn't have occurred to me for a flying video but it fits very nicely.
