Pianoman Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I've seen a few videos on YouTube where people have mounted a Go Pro cam (or similar) to the top of their cage, angled down slightly so you can see what the pilot is up to and still get a really good view and feel for the flight. Does anyone on here use this method to mount their cams? I really fancy it but am obviously concerned that vibration might work it loose and drop it through my prop. Thought please D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I used to do this - the vibration issue is a problem and creates some spacey shimmering sometimes - see an example of one of my videos here: I wrapped the frame in 10mm neoprene and gaffer tape and used the GoPro bike handlebar mount which made a difference but vibration was always there.

Steve Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 No, never came loose but never had vibration free footage either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
