  1. A great idea. Maybe we can promote it on the box as we make our way up the country.

    digital cameras

    I have been using the panasonic cameras they are great. I have the Lx1 with is a 10.2 meg camera. Shoots in widescreen and has a 28mm lens.. The are expensive, but the quality is superb. Shoots vid in widescreen too, so great to edit into films. I will be mounting this cam in the wing for the tip 2 tip.
  4. seen the dog cams. they work ok, but wouldn't want to make a dvd with this quality.
  5. Richard Over the past few years I have tried to mount a cam to the cage, but I allway got allot of vibration. I have put the cam in many places. Never happy.. The best place still is on a bracket attached to your harness. I use a rotaing mount to allow the came to point in any direction. Use a wide lens. A fisheye is great like a .3 fish eye lens. Some use pol cams. This works, but you need to carry a bloddy pole with you...... I have built a canopy cam mount, but not tested it yet when I'm in the air. It is designed to fit a digital cam with shoot wide screen, and hi quality vid. I have a bulet cam, but i thing the quality sucks. It depends on what you wan to do with it in the end. Most people never edit any footage. There are good quality lipstip cams, but they they do cost big bux.. not £150 like most of them. more in the range of a £1000 or more. Dan I will post some vid when i test it. It will be up and running for the big trip in the summer... The cams I use are as follows A sony Z1 HD cam 16-9 format heavy, but it is good on your lap, or on a mount. Sony Hc1 HD 16-9 format Sony Pc120 DV.Great cam for head cam a bullet cam.. OK. record into my pc120 as a recorder. Panoasonic Lumix Lx1 compact cam. shoot vid in 16-9 format..
  6. thanks these will do, but it would be better if we could get better quality. please show me some footage you have shot.
  7. Just spoke to Simon about cameras for the trip. Can you all let me know what vid cameras you have for the trip. Any what format they use?
  8. Hi Gents I have rc gear if you require it with onboard cams. I flew land end this summer, but took off at Senan cove, just 1-2 miles up the coast. Richard and myself went over there. I have already from up as far as Boscastle, and the coastline is spectacular. well worth folowing the coastline . I am sure we can take off at the end, as we can get good publicity.
