Default 360 Degree Cool Camera

This looks interesting and it might give some insight into your flying (especially if you crash).

This looks like fun too. Stereoscopic GoPro and something like this might tempt me to start making soaring videos.

Go Pro is the default platform for prototyping these third-party add-on hacks (another reason to choose Go Pro).

If you could work out the alignment problems, it might be interesting to make a stereoscopic video with two cameras on opposite wingtips. That might enhance the 3-d perception of the distant landscape. (For close-in subjects, the cameras need to be the same distance apart as your eyes.)
