Lowry's? Or duct tape?

Lowry's. You don't want any missiles behind you in a wreck.


Also and more importantly I only want
the video to be of outside the plane. To get a good look at the
panel and also of whatever is outside is extremely difficult for the
camera. That's a shot with lots of backlighting.


Yeah, contrast is a problem, but the times I've wanted panel-only shots I've
engaged the "backlight" feature of my camera. "Whites out" everything in
the background (in daylight, of course), but the panel comes in nicely.

What would be the purpose of a panel shot? Instrument training? I
would like to get a very small camera and remote mount it. A camera on
the top of the tail would be ideal, just like on the Discovery Wings
channel program where that woman learns to fly. Or a camera mounted on
the belly a few feet behind the main wheels would be really cool. You
could mount it to an inspection cover for quick removal. If anybody
knows of a small, light camera post a link.
