I've tried to find a good place for a remote camera mount with little success.

Either vibrations or electronic interference from the engine produced less than ideal results.

I had an idea that would solve both problems. I think it worked fairly well, and provided a unique perspective.

After landing, I had an hour and a half of video footage. I edited it down to 20 minutes and asked my brother what he thought. He said the video was good, but "anyone who expects someone to sit thru a 20 minute video should be punched in the face." Erik's a former Marine Sgt, and has a way with words.

I went back and cropped it down to 7.5 min. "Still way too long" says Erik. "Get it down to 3 and the public will be able to handle it." I went back and got it down to 4 minutes, but couldn't find anymore to cull.

I landed with a dead battery so I didn't capture my landing. It didn't seem right not to have one so I went for a short hop that evening and pasted the landing on the end of my earlier flight.

Hope you all like the finished product.

John- Great! Not too much vibration, and incredible clarity. With the camera mounted by the tail, it gives a completely different perspective than most of the videos.  Do more.
Where are you?

I fly out of Tokeena airpark in Oconee County SC. We're at the foothils of the Blue Ridge mountains, and I feel lucky to fly here. Lots of forest, with just enough hayfields and pastures (and water) to make ya feel safe.

Very little traffic too.

Glad ya like.
