Ok guys I finally had time to transfer video from my mini dv to my
computer , my first few landings in my 150 it seems like the wife only records my bad landings ohh well!! Cool video! Don't worry, though: All landings look bad when filmed with a hand-held camera. (For a winter-scene, icy runway landing here in IOW, see http://alexisparkinn.com/photogaller...ndingRwy30.AVI ) And don't forget to clean the bugs off the windscreen before filming! I've got entire mpegs where our auto-focus video camera tried to focus on the bugs the whole time... :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

If you know you won't be taping any interior shots, try setting your camera's focus to landscape scene mode or manually focus to infinity. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |

Very cool.
I've put together a "helmet cam" using a Sony TRV103 and this http://www.cc-video.com/productshelmetsystems.html Stick the mic inside the earmuff on your headset and then you get radio transmissions instead of engine noise. The remoted camera is light enough so it can be velcroed onto just about anything including the side of your head set. BillC "NW_PILOT" wrote in message ...

The best landing out of the 3 on this video was a simulated short field right on the 1,000 bars the first landing and the second best was the cross wind landing at evergreen 59S, Ohh the video link http://www.warflying.net/7676u.wmv |

You can say that again! I attached a camcorder to my glareshield with
some electrical tape (all I had handy---just a few inches) to record a landing, and the darn thing came undone and slid to the front just as I touched down, banged into the windscreen, and turned sideways and flopped over. Inertia and all that. The resulting movie was... interesting. I'll see if I still have it somewhere. Jay Honeck wrote: All landings look bad when filmed with a hand-held camera. |

Cool footage. It made me feel the landing.
FWIW, I have rigged a number of cameras into planes, albeit shooting out the sides. We get FANTASTIC results by rigging the camera on a bungee cord mount. Depending on the aircraft, there are a lot of places you can secure them (sometimes augmented with a little bit of strategically looped/tied nylon rope) at the top of the cabin. The technique is to put a little weight on the bungee/camera combination, and let the bungee mitigate the movement of the aircraft. The camera operator then concentrates on keeping the framing and camera orientation correct. Oh yeah, rubber bungees are the best. With consumer cameras, it will take a bit of thinkin' to invent a device to get the bungee system secured to the camera, but the results are completely worthwhile. A tripod is suggested someplace below in the thread. I cannot agree The tripod will transmit every vibration of the aircracft into the camera. The bungee system alomost completely removes it.
