In-Flight Video Camera

[RyanShort1]

Are any of these head-mounted cams? (didn't have time to see them all)
If not, would head motion make such a video too nauseating?
Just thought it would help bring the entire story together if you could see the scenery, the instrument panel, throttle quadrant as the pilot does, using a head mounted camera.

Here's a video with mine on a mount on the side of my helmet.

Oh mercy. An overhead break.. Now you've done it.

That's a cool way to post your video, how it also plays back the GPS position on the map, and shows a graph for altitude and airspeed.

All is well. He was flying a warbird, not an RV.

So the OB is acceptable in a 100kt warbird, and not in a 150kt kit built?

Makes sense..

Private airport (well, nearly so), practicing at a time when few others would be around to be in the way, and with a well-briefed formation plan. We do formations sometimes for funerals and such, as well as our own events.

I don't understand all the hubbub about RV pilots who are trained for formation flight doing overhead breaks. Doesn't bother me, and is fun to watch. I'm based at 52F, one of the largest RV pilot populations in the U.S. They're always careful to fit into existing traffic patterns.

You seemed to be saying it was ok since he was in a warbird, but it would not have been acceptable had he been in an RV.

I guess I misunderstood.

I wouldn't mess with the nFlightcam - as far as I know they aren't making/supporting it anymore and I've had nothing but problems with the one I have. I sent it back once early on for some audio issues and now the audio won't even work when connecting to the intercom system. Stick with a GoPro or check out the new Garmin camera.
