Thanks guys! It looks like I need to check out the GoPro. Greg, I can't believehow steady the camera is throughout that video. Either your airplane has turbinesmoothness or that camera just doesn't pick up the vibrations. Very nice!Yep, might need to rethink the Santa list.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 07:07:40 -0600Subject: Pietenpol-List: GoPro - camera mount infomation

I have the same question.=C2- Recently on William Wynne's=C2- website he said this" Be aware that low-cost instruments like =9CFalcon=9D have been made in China for the last 15 years and they are junk. You are far better off buying used stuff that still has OEM Cessna stickers on it, or some other marking that ID=99s it as a domestic product."John--------John FrancisRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 16#389716h --EE Gifts!) onom=C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- -Matt Dralle, List Admin.tS WEB FORUMS -________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: GoPro - camera mount infomation

Regarding the goPro cameras, another option I went for (with eventual Piet videosin mind) is the Replay HD cameras. They are much smaller and in head to headcomparisons, are better picture quality (in my opinion....)I bought 3 of these for a video shoot I did for a corporate video this summer,and loved them. They are super simple to mount, as they are cylinders: just snapinto the mount.The output is 1080p and really crisp... I'm not a rep for them, but they don'tget the name recognition as GoPro has, because they are newer to the market.Just an FYI for ya'll. Cost the same as the GoPro.Check out at: http://replayxd.com/product/replay-xd10 ... m/MarkRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Re: Hello Robert!Cc: Greg Cardinal Hi Greg (& Greg!)Thanks for the compliment; it was a lot of work at the time, but you'llknow all about that!For my wingtip camera, I have a similar set-up to what you describe. Twothreaded inserts that are affixed to my wingtip bow. To these, I bolt a6-foot long aluminium tube (about 1-1/2 inch diameter) with the boltssimply going through two holes drilled through the tube.This is the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLP9YUvkARMThe fore-and-aft views are with the GoPro stuck to the skylight with therubber sucker. I now use a piece of neutral density film (filter) in thelens to get rid of those awful prop artifacts.I have lots of other ideas, including an old mount that I used 15 years agofor an old still camera that put the camera about 12 inches below thewingtip, which had the following result back then:http://www.taylorcraft.org.uk/N%20Norway2.jpg andhttp://www.taylorcraft.org.uk/brey_final_for_hFest.jpgA lot is up to your own imagination!Good to hear from you, and no, that wasn't me in your 2004 photo, althoughI could see why you thought it might.Best regards,Rob ----- Original Message -----
