That's a lovely shot Godders. Years ago I mounted a small bullet cam (in the days before anyone had ever heard of a GoPro!) to the wing of a Stearman. We had a special mount provided and I used all the jigs and rigs to mount it to film a reporter in the passenger seat. The plane went up, came back and when I reviewed the footage I found a vibration making it unusable. I took the jigs off and got some camera tape (aka gaffer tape, duct tape etc) and taped the thing right onto the wing. Thus time the video was as smooth as my head. Ever since, anything to do with mounting cameras to vehicles/boats/aircraft with engines and speed, mounts go straight in the bin and the tape comes out. Never fails. Thanks for stirring the memories! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
