A little video of today's flight

I think I like his camera location best, though the head mounted one is better for seeing what goes on in the cockpit.

That was great! Loved it.

 

Thanks for sharing Eddie.

Great stuff Ed!!

Nice video!

 

Question:

I have the suction cup mount for my Hero but always saftied it to the strut bracket on my Challenger. My Sting has no such fasten point.

Do you think the suction cup will hold at 110-120 MPH? I'd hate to loose the camera or worse.

Mine has held for hours at 145mph. Many faster planes use it regularly, as do cars and motorcycles. I think GoPro claims 200mph. That being said, changing heat and barometric pressure could mess with things, as could surface texture. I'd make sure it doesn't interfere with any control surfaces if it came off. Some like the idea of a tether, others think it might turn into a wildly flapping hammer.

Has anyone used the Nflightcam attached to the hold down?

[Rich]

Thanks Tim.

 

Smooth carbon fiber will be my attach point, so I think I'll give it a try.

Has anyone used the Nflightcam attached to the hold down?

 

Yes... Worked like a champ

 

Used a little scrap piece of aluminum, painted it white, drilled hole for tie down to slip through and used a piece of rubber to protect the wing finish.

Adam,

Thanks. That's just what I was looking for..Now just have to figure out if an how I can run power and audio out to it.

I have another mounted in the cockpit. I use the NFlightcam + for the inside (no prop hash in video) and I record audio off that with the headset plug adapter. Battery wise mine lasts about 3 hours. Depending on model, you can use an iPhone to remotely turn record on and off.
