Just wondering how others feel about sport cameras in the cockpit.

I've made several training videos with a GoPro strapped to my forehead (helps me make a point about what scanning looks like) that I sometimes use in preflight briefings. The YouTube links to them are 'private' (meaning you won't find them when searching YouTube).

Burt Compton is in the process of uploading similar training videos that are being uploaded to the SSF website (q.v., http://soaringsafety.org/learning/FTvideos.html).

Finally, several students (with my blessing) record their training flights for their (and occasionally, my) post-flight review. Nothing hand-held, of course, and the attachments are carefully selected for safety. Without exception, those students have found their reviews of such flights extremely useful as have I.
