Way cool...... Great link....

Very nice. Interesting use of Duck tape. Wonder if it effected the performance?anic:

I'd love to do something like that with my Rebel.

The duct tape helped reduce drag!

I wonder what the feds would say about it..... I know a sky diving center got into some hot water for having a camera fastened to the wing strut on a C182.

Not too much, since you'll see a lot of videos that have cameras mounted on the tail of the airplanes.

Yeah, but in my understanding, he can't just put a camera on the tail and slap a piece of tape saying "Experimental" on the A/C. He would need to get a special airworthiness certificate, maybe under R&D, or possibly a special flight certificate.

I like pictures from the tail mount, but videos from there aren't usually my favorite

If it is removable and doesn't require any modifications to the airframe, no special approval should be required.

Oh really? I was doing some digging to see what the case was, and I could only find issuance of a special airworthiness certificate...

He has an amazing picture with my gf's condo in Orlando in the shot...amazing pictures!

Should have used a D90 for video.

Should have used a D90 for video.

I dare you to strap your camera on your Dash 8

 

[ILSstud]

would a double dare do anything?
