What would be the purpose of a panel shot? Instrument training?


Pretty much. I was interested in reviewing my performance on a few
approaches.

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.


I've looked into the same type of thing. Google for "bullet camera" and
"helmet camera" for an idea of styles/prices. The only downside is the need
for another recorder (pretty much another camera) that drives the total cost
of the project up significantly.

On the up side, several of the cameras you can find have the capability of
being mounted on your headphones or clipped on your hat. Others, like a
couple models at www.helmetcamera.com look like they'd be easily mounted on
an access panel. That would make for some interesting picture-in-picture
collections.
