Practice makes better, not perfect :-) I am probably more critical

This was my main motivation for putting a camera in the cockpit. Secondary
was a "video logbook".

*I think* the way the camera was being held up high would change the
actual pitch altitude view. Since I had the nose pitched up, my
nephew had to raise the camera to see the runway.


Try setting the camera on the dash next time (perhaps with a hand on the
camera to hold it in place). Most modern cameras have some form of image
stabilization to reduce jitter that may be introduced by engine/airframe
vibration - and a padded dash helps, too. I've had decent results with this
on several of my flights and it provides a better impression of what you
saw.
