I'd have to admit, John's idea about gaffer tape was more in line with my
thoughts.
I'd just worry about wing-drop on launch with one of these guys. ;-)

Lipstick cams are a good way to go, but they also require power. Not
sure of if the little wireless links will do a good job with 520 lines
so a wire feed is likely best.

Mini-DV tape may be best if going above 10000ft msl. Most HDD devices
are only rated to about there. IIRC, there is a Fujitsu drive rated
to 10000M but may not fit. No idea if mini-DVD works at altitude.

Try a search for Blanik Boogie on YouTube. Not for everyone, but an
interesting departure.
