Default Camera mount for Diamond DA-40?

What kind of camera? I wouldn't stick a camera right in the prop blast,
but a small plastic bracket and some double-sided sticky pads work
really well for mounting small video cameras (they use them on racing
motorcycles which is a very harsh environment for any camera mounting,
and they stay stuck on just fine. The fairings of the racing sidecars
are made from the same stuff as a DA-40). I've also found duct tape
works well for small video cameras.
