Surprise to hear you say it's not warm enough. It gets warm and
pretty quick with the defrost and the heat going full blast, but the
coldest temps I have ever flown in is the teens at altitude.

Kinda hard to find anything to resemble hard core cold down this way.
I will usually open the passenger side eyeball vent and have the heat
on at the same time to keep things in balance should I get warm

SCAT tubes were replaced on overhaul when the engine was off in the
shop.

I also did the door seals, and gladly left it to the professionals as
the old seals were a real bear to remove. Door seals "too well: now,
when it gets hot, it's a bear to open them!

We did our scat tubes and door seals in '05, what a difference!

I had brought velcro along, not knowing the sticky stuff loses it's
sticky after time, so I had to resort to just putting the camera on
the glareshield, on the pilot side. Air was as pristine as it gets
and as you know in IMC turns are very gradual, so the weight of the
camera was enough to keep it still. Plus, I made all left hand turns

For me going missed is a pretty good pitch up and I'm sure the camera
would end up in my lap. We also just had our glareshield
professionally recovered so I'm not sure I want to put anything sticky
on it. I wonder if I could somehow safety wire it to the structural
tube that runs down the middle through the shield.

Whenever the camera store receives its back-ordered tripod heads, I
will try the following:

FWIW, this is my video recording setup:

Don't blame you for not wanting to mar up the glare shield. Another
thought that I am considering is getting a "bean bag" to put on the
glare shield and putting the camera in that with maybe a velcro strip
to keep it still. Not sure if the bean bag will be heavy enough to
stay still, but something to consider.

Unless you plan to video your landings "regularily", best bet would be
have a passenger do the videoing. In 90 percent of my videos, I
delegate the videoing to the passenger.

I like doing this so I can Monday nite quarterback my landings and see
what went right or what I can do to improve my flying.

If you are looking for specifics, best would be to take an instrument
passenger pilot up with you as they probably can better relate what
instruments to focus in on at certain points of the approach.

And no matter what I do with the camera, it is secondary to flying the
plane. Camera, for sure is replaceable, especially in the event of a
missed approach.

Wow, dude you got the professional gear going on there!!! My brother
is a TV field producer, I wonder if he could hook me up with some
equipment. He called me one morning (10AM, early for the TV world) and
said he had a shoot that day following a subject in a C-172 and he was
worried his sound guy wouldn't be able to hook up (he had no concept
of aircraft avionics). No big deal, a pair of alagator clips on the
back if the intercom jack and they were good to go. When the episode
aired the entire scene was about 15 seconds though

Is that a custom or commercial mount?
Where can I get one?
