1. 08:45 PM - new camera mount- version 3 (Larry Cottrell)

Subject: new camera mount- version 3
From: Larry Cottrell <lcottrell1020(at)gmail.com>
As you might recall, I had a bone spur removed from one of my feet. The
healing process has gone a bit better than the Doc thought it should. I am
not able to do any extended walking, but within reason, things are fine.
I realize that most of you poor souls are experiencing Global warming at
its best. Apparently there isn't a large enough population here where I
live to adversely affect the climate, so we are having our usual nice two
weeks or so of great weather here in the West. Today was 61 degrees with no
wind. The wife is out of town for the weekend, so there was no one to tell
me that I shouldn't fly yet. You should look at today's video and be
reassured that even your shitty weather will also pass. I have found that
the only thing that stays the same is -every thing changes.
The Virb camera that I have recently bought seemed a bit more difficult to
get good smooth video than the Drift that I had been using. The Virb seems
to have a bit clearer picture, and I do like the track and speed feature on
it as well. So I want to make it my main camera. I tried it on the wing,
and I have to hold it at a certain speed to keep the shake and jello out of
it. I put it back on the nose, and had the same problem. The speed that the
video was the least shaky at, was just a bit too slow for comfortable
"yanking and banking". The next best speed was full throttle. Also not what
I really wanted.
Having nothing to occupy my time these last few weeks other than ice packs
and TV, I formed the thought that the bar of Alum that I had fixed to fit
behind the pitot tube holder and the nose pf the pod, might be contributing
to the shakes. So this morning I dug out my virb box and got one of the
sticky pads that they had for a helmet mount. I stuck it on the nose pod,
fixed up a safety wire just in case, and tried my best to wait the
recommended 24 hours for the base to be "firmly" attached. Well, I did my
best, but if I was ever going to have "patients", I would have been a
Doctor. I finally couldn't stand it any longer and rolled the plane out.
I could have stuck it out of sight under the nose pod, if I had thought of
it before, but I don't mind it up on top, although I do think it is raising
hell with my "yarn" slip indicator.
The video is the most steady through out the full throttle range that I
have found yet, and of course I had a great time. Hang in there guys,
better times are coming.
