When I want to take video I set the camera on the top of the panel on an
unused sponge. I have a couple of elastic straps that hold it securely to
the sponge. No image stabilization needed. I set the camera to the
landscape setting so it won't focus on the windshield, it focuses on
infinity. It is much easier with a camera with the swing out window. I
adjust the camera up and down in such a way that the engine cowl is just
barely showing on the bottom of the screen, camera fully zoomed out. I
also have an audio cable that goes from one of the headset jacks to the
cameras mic in jack. Works like a charm except for there being no engine
noise on the film. Works really cool when you put it on a DVD with music
in the background.


Newps,

Forgive me for asking a "noob" kind of question but,

Is it legal to create home-made camera mounts? Does it make a difference if
you do it like you or John do it (where it's inside the cabin...) and don't
try to duct tape it to the strut? (Yes, I'm exagerating here...)

I know that STC'd pods and mounts are really expensive, combersome, etc.
But as much as I'd love to (eventually) shoot some of my flying experiences,
I'd be more scared of getting busted for "jerry-rigging" something if Mr.
FAA were to stop by for a chat.

What's the "official" word on this?

Thanks,

Jay Beckman
