I'm looking for a camera installation for my RV-10. I've used a hand-held
video camera but really would like a camera mounted on the VS and a recorder
in the cockpit. Shooting from inside the cabin shows up the prop in straight
ahead shot so I'm thinking raising the camera would help. I've seen video on
Utube that was taken from the VS. Anyone have experience or sources?

GoPro cameras are great for that type of thing. They also have tons of different mounts for them. Most "stunt videos" you see on YouTube are probably GoPro cameras.

I like the Contour series.... The Contour GPS has a built in GPS so it shows the ground track in Google maps along with the video..... Small package, very well built...

Albert,
I have placed a 3 camera (can add a 4th) video recording system in my 8A. One on the VS, one on the belly pointing aft and one in the cockpit to film both Pilot & squirming Passenger. The cameras are all 520 Line or greater bullet cameras with the choice of different lenses (~$100 each on eBay). The end result is a good looking image from multiple angles. The down side is the video is not HD. I was unable to find a small, reasonably priced remote DVR that recorded HD video so I decided to go with standard def and supplement it with something like GoProHD http://gopro.com or the ContourHD camera http://contour.com/ internally mounted. See Note at the end of this email.
I have a feeling that 5 years for now there will be many different choices but unfortunately your plane will be painted & flying for some time by then. Below are a couple of photos of the install. You can see in one photo the shot from the tail on the display screen. I can switch which camera is being recorded with the knob to the left of the display.
I think this system will work out nicely but is not the ideal hardware for the task. I did see some cool stuff out there but it was many thousands of dollars so I decided to go low-def for now. FYI I always carry two additional cameras. One is an HD Video camera called the Sony Bloggie MHS-TS20 . It is a pretty amazing HD unit for the price with a 3” screen. I paid $120.00 for the camera. Takes pretty good still photos too. Occasionally I mount it with a suction RAM mount. This is a video taken with the prior version of the Bloggie called the Webbie. Note: you should watch this in 1080p mode. This was a test video in low light conditions. I was learning the focal length of the camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aJt4_Chswo&hd=1
Here is a New Years flight video. Suggest you view full screen & 720p. Again taken with the older Webbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR2i9EQRZ50&hd=1
I have to say the videos from the Contour & GoProHD are much better than the Sony Bloggie for action video. Also my 14 Mp camera with 1080P video does a surprisingly good job of HD video. Sorry no examples.
Good luck,
Robin
Note:
I believe the best HD video recording system will probably be a PC with an HD video card. Record to a HD or SSHD then transfer content to thumb drive or transfer via wireless / Bluetooth. There are several cards on the market that accept independent video 4 inputs. This may also be the cheapest way to film multiple HD videos. Unfortunately at this time the cards insert into “tower” style computers. Not something I wanted to add to the airplane. The early adopters curse….

I mounted the POV 1.5 camera on my rv10's tail. The tail height aims the camera over the top of the cabin. The prop strobe effect is at the bottom of the video frame. The cord to the camera contains the video and power. The system comes complete with a hand held DVR that has a screen on it so you can test or aim it. The DVR has AA batteries that also supply power to the camera. The video is recorded on a 4 or 8 GB SD card in the DVR. The camera also comes with editing software. Amazon has a complete system at
http://www.amazon.com/VIO-POV-1-5-Video-System/dp/B001TALUFY
The camera installation shown on my web site is an older camera that did not work very well. I adapted the camera installation to mount the smaller POV camera.

Is there a way to remote start the Go Pro or Contour cameras if they were mounted on the outside of the plane?

I have a ContourGPS. Th has a mechanical slider switch on it, so no easy way to remote start it. That being said, with a 32g chip, you can get 8 hours of video. So you can edit out the dead time before takeoff....
