norman Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) This looks like an interesting vid to inspire the creative juices to get better than the average shots.... Oz ~ topical! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ9_cYOJxHU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncTq_8AxSs Anyone done this?

pete_b Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 This looks like an interesting vid to inspire the creative juices to get better than the average shots....Oz ~ topical! Anyone done this? It would be safer and easier to put a small billet cam on the wing and just run the lead down to the camera. Tie a weight the same as the camera weighs and try launching with it.

Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have crudely hung a .8kg camara from the center of the leading edge on the Fusion when making the PMC vid. You may notice I used non of the footage from it. LOL It was swinging about all over the place. The above clearly works well if a little bullky looking.

norman Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I thought of running a line up with a mini pulley to take the camera up the centre once airborne. Little IR controller for taing the pix.... It needs thinking about, timer might be useful. This little gem might be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have a Hero Wide Cam. They are good, BUT there are better out there now. The Case is the best bit about the Hero Wide as it can take a good kicking. (Squddie proof) as they say in the Army. The problems I find with the Hero wide, is storage 2gb MAX Battries run down VERY quick. (A flight from the flag pole to the white horse and back kills the batts.) That said, its a good little camera for 5-10 min clips (AND TIME LAPSE) I will be selling my one, just as soon as I have decided on the next one to get. I did order a HD pen cam from the US but had to cancel my order as they did not have then in stock. I am trying to find a UK supplier.

norman Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Is there an external power point on the cam Simon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 i have one of those atc5k cameras, 2 gig card, i put some 2900 mili amp batteries in and i have recorded an hour, and then used it again without charging, dont thing the pic quality is the best but it is pretty ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thats the issue I think, the Hero cam has AAA so 1000 Ma is the norm. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer_Dave Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Take care not to add too much weight to the leading edge of your wing ! Especially if the air or the flying manner get "interesting !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcusFlyer Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Simon if you do sell you hero wide cam, let me know. I fancy one but can't justify / afford the £180ish pricetag. I have the oregon scientific helmet cam and there is no issue with the quality but the picture is too 'zoomed in' (dont think there's a wide or 'zoomed out' setting). ie unless you keep your head very still or move very slowly the picture flits about all over the place and even makes you nauseous watching it on telly. In my view the wideness of the hero wide seems to be what sets it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanman Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I modified my ATC 2K with a wide angle lens and removed the waterproofing on the microphone that muffles the sound. It is covered in this web site... http://www.utahtrikes.com/ARTICLE-31.html Don't worry, despite being from Utah and mentioning trikes it is not Dell!
