... 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 Chandler, AZ PP-ASEL Still nowhere to go but up! |
