Can you tighten up that new mount to where the lens takes pictures of
where you are going rather than swinging around bassakwards to where
you have been, Ron? :-)

Now, now, Bob.... one can ask only so much for the cheap little tripod socket on
a $70 video camera. It only takes ~2 threads of a 1/4-20 bolt before it bottoms
out; I add safety wire and a tad of hunert-mile-an-hour tape just to be on the
safe side. I make one flight with the camera pointing aft, the next with the
camera facing forward, another with the thing on the tail facing forward, etc.

That's how I did this video, with an earlier, lower-resolution camera:

flatulence, haw!

Hmm? Released right before this Sunday's Academy Awards...

Coincidence? I think not!

That's some weird compression artifact that causes that strange black
stripey stuff in the prop disk.

therefore a witch.

Slow frame rate, I think. The camera that took the video on my original movie
is low resolution and only has about 10 frames per second. The new one is
nearly full NTSC resolution with 27 FPS. Same manufacturer, just ~2 years'
improvement in technology (the cameras both sold for about $90.

As Andy noted, even the new camera's sampling rate of the focal plane tends to
show the propeller of the Boredom Fighter as an arc. Certainly not as bad as
the rising/falling ~ of the old camera, but still noticeable.

I just too cheap to spend money for a real video camera, that's all. :-)

WoW, Ron....

YOUTUBE!!!

I knew you'd be famous one day! ;-)

P.S
Does the stirring audio contain a subliminal
nautical message rather than AERO-nautical?

I have this uncontrollable urge to march
down to the sea in a sailing ship.

Might even try my hand at whaling.....
