Default Flying Video...

As you guys know a few weeks ago I was messing with putting a camera
into the plane... so I did, and recorded my flight on new years day
from Honolulu to Lana'i.

I still have to tweek the filter setup as the lighting didn't work out
perfectly. Also I need to work out a way to stabilize it a bit more,
because regardless of how soft I land it gives it a nice shake at
touchdown... (don't mind the wheel shimmy)


At the time of your posts you said you wanted the camera in the backseat
because you wanted to show the pilot and the panel in the shot. I said
you wanted the camera on the top of the panel as there wouldn't be
anything of value to see on the panel. I was right. You can't make out
anything on the panel, it's too blurry, and you're left with a pillbox
view of the outside. And there's a blob sitting on the left side of the
plane just blocking everything. Put the camera on the top of the panel
and make another flight and see if you don't like it better. I know
that's where I put mine. The reason for the video for me is what's
outside. I'm a pilot and I don't care what's going on on the panel.
It's a Cherokee, how intersting can it be anyways? Non pilots really
won't care as it won't make any sense in the first place.
