Default Flying Video...

During ground movement is it not more advisable to be watching out the
windows rather that turning knobs on the center panel ?

As you guys know a few weeks ago I was messing with putting a camera
into the plane... so I did, and recorded my flight on new years day
from Honolulu to Lana'i.

I still have to tweek the filter setup as the lighting didn't work out
perfectly. Also I need to work out a way to stabilize it a bit more,
because regardless of how soft I land it gives it a nice shake at
touchdown... (don't mind the wheel shimmy)

I like it.

Some suggestions.

Less panel, move the camera off center, so the #&*$ magnetic compass isn't
dead in the middle of where you are going. Also, if possible, put the
sunvisor up on both sides. Wear a ball cap to keep the sun out of your
eyes, if that is needed.

Definitely get the headset audio onto the tape. I suggest a quick and
easy fix of putting a small mic under your headset.
