Ellwood Mesa Onboard Cam from surfimp on Vimeo.
It’s a first effort, mounted to the Depron tail of my 17oz Le Fish. The wind was blowing a 22-25mph which is quite a lot more than the 6-8mph this plane usually sees, but it did just fine and I had a bunch of fun.
The onboard camera is an 808 #16 HD keyfob camera, available here, and I’m quite pleased with its performance. Not bad for a $40, 1/2oz little thing!
Next I plan to mount it to the tail of my 2m Voltij aerobatics glider, which should prove a much more stable platform. More to come!
