I would have LOVED to have the AWOS audio on the PVC video.


Now you know why I play the ASOS especially for the instrument
approaches :-) The recordings says volumes when ceilings are extra
low.

Dicing and splicing easy enough and easy to edit out the blank spaces
between transmissions. For my videos, I have purposely not edited out
the blank spaces so it's as close to what I experienced as I can make
it. Would not be hard to make it "sound busier" then what it really
is :-))

I tried playing around mounting the camera on top of the visor of my
ball cap. It actually works fine, but if you move your head a lot, it
will be very, very distracting. I was surprised how much I moved my
head whether it be scanning for traffic, reading the approach plate
and such, so I decided on just leaving the camera on top of the
glareshield with a portfolio binder propping the camera so it doesn't
shift.

Sounds like you have a good setup for the various angles with your
camera. Be interested on seeing your outcome!
