Subject: Re: [LML] Attaching GoPro to aircraft

I have a bracket I attach to the tail tie down socket (no tie down rings ins=
talled).
It can be mounted on either wing. However I bought it to monitor the nose ge=
ar. We had a shimmy that turned out to be caused by the wheel pant. Bill add=
ed lead sinkers and fiberglass to the front cavity to make the CG the same a=
s the attachment point and solved the shimmy.=20
My camera is a Drift HD170 I bought from Amazon.com. It can be mounted horiz=
ontal or vertical including upside down. I rotate the lens to make the pictu=
re record right-side up. In wide angle mode it makes beautiful scenery movie=
s. I use it on every flight.=20
YMMV
By The Way, in 720 resolution instead of 1080 with the larger capacity batte=
ry and 32Gig SD card it will last longer than my bladder. My longest non sto=
p flight has been 5 hours. That is five one hour movies. (OS limitation).  T=
hat comes out to be about 3 Gigs per hour.
