We use the Replay XD camera at work.  They have a better profile for pointin=
g into the wind. Excellent video quality too.  We use several, all externall=
y mounted, to record flights.  The mounts are very robust. No problems throu=
gh Mach 1.0
I don't know how they would do looking through a prop.
