Default Fixing a camera externally

ps.com...
Many years ago, I mounted a simple fixed-focus 35mm camera on a home-
made contraption that I clamped to the spike that protrudes from the
nose of a 2-33.

Along the same lines... There is a little thumbscrew/wedge gizmo that you
can buy at most any hardware store that is intended as a home window security
lock. One or two of those things will clamp to that top spine on a Blanik fuze
and will hold a light camera just fine without puting a scratch on the glider.

Just in case this wasn't quite in accordance with the letter of the
FARs, no evidence survives except the photo itself, which I am
prepared to say was Photoshopped. By someone else. Someone I never
met. OK?


I don't remember who it was that mounted the camera on the Blanik, or when
or where it happened...Honest!
