Here is a short video (edited) taken with a wing mounted Contour HD camera. It was taken at 1080p (30 fps). As you can see there is quite a bit of distortion. I'm going to try one with a 720p 60 fps setting and see what happens. I suspect it will be much better.

The card that came with the camera will only shoot for 18 minutes at 1080p.



Rather than post any more on this topic if you are interested in the next test just email me and I'll send you a link to the posted video.

I'm jealous. Someday, a Red Star aircraft will call my hangar HOME. [quote][b]

Hi Rico

  

 For about $58500 you can buy my restored 18T !  We return to Europe once it is sold.

 Regards

First of all if you take your sales pitch to your own thread...not appropriate.



Here's the final deal on the ContourHD. It has what's called a rolling shutter. A quick view of the description of this on Wikipedia 



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_shutter



and you'll realize that this camera is indeed a "toy" as a previous poster mentioned on the other thread.



I don't have much hope for quality video using an exterior mount on an airplane.....

Before you buy, consider where most of your footage will end up...the movie theater, HD TV, internet?  I am willing to be the internet. Base your choice of camera on that...not just the term HD. 



Here is a shot of me doing a hoist into the Pave Hawk. NOW...you will be surprised how slowly the rotor blades turn on a helo..not nearly as fast as any airplane. Keep that in mind. This was shot with the VIO POV.1

Here is another video shot by a friend of mine in Afghanistan. At the end of the video is a shot from the refueling probe of the helicopter looking aft. It was shot with a VHOLDR camera..did not turn out too bad...but to my knowledge, this video never went beyond in the internet. He was not overly impressed with the little camera. Not really that rugged. 



The POV's that we use have been mounted all over the helicopter and have all performed well. They have been mounted on both weapon systems (.50 and mini) and the vibration was minimal. We fly in a very dusty environment and most recently rain, and the camera head AND body were exposed to the weather...just chugged along. 



Again, I think you for this groups purposes, the VHOLDR is not the camera. 



If you have any questions or want some more info on the VIO camera, drop me a note. I will be happy to answer them.

Oops needed to add a link for the VHOLDR helo footage..again, its at the end if you want to skip the rest of the footage.

By the way..technically, 720p resolution IS HD.
