Ok guys I finally had time to transfer video from my mini dv to my
computer
, my first few landings in my 150 it seems like the wife only records my
bad
landings ohh well!! The best landing out of the 3 on this video was a
simulated short field right on the 1,000 bars the first landing and the
second best was the cross wind landing at evergreen 59S,

Ohh the video link http://www.warflying.net/7676u.wmv






I got to get me one of these http://www.chasecam.com/mounts-suction.htm

Cool footage. It made me feel the landing.

FWIW, I have rigged a number of cameras into planes, albeit shooting out the
sides. We get FANTASTIC results by rigging the camera on a bungee cord
mount. Depending on the aircraft, there are a lot of places you can secure
them (sometimes augmented with a little bit of strategically looped/tied
nylon rope) at the top of the cabin. The technique is to put a little
weight on the bungee/camera combination, and let the bungee mitigate the
movement of the aircraft. The camera operator then concentrates on keeping
the framing and camera orientation correct. Oh yeah, rubber bungees are the
best.

With consumer cameras, it will take a bit of thinkin' to invent a device to
get the bungee system secured to the camera, but the results are completely
worthwhile.

A tripod is suggested someplace below in the thread. I cannot agree The
tripod will transmit every vibration of the aircracft into the camera. The
bungee system alomost completely removes it.

Just my $.02
