Went for an awesome flight this morning playing low level between the koppies at Koedoeskop and thought I would have nice footage but nada :( will play around and try to fix it
Also thought I took some awesome pics with no result, it works on the ground if i stretch out towards it but have not tested in the air yet.

Did some more tests this afternoon

I moved the remote from my pod to my training bars and it works 100% on the ground but once flying it doesn’t seem to work :evil: maybe the distance from the remote to camera is to far but they claim up to 5m :cry:

(**) (**) The one thing I can’t understand is if it works on the ground why don’t it work in the air :?: :?:

So the only thing is to start on the ground and keep the camera running :?

Will do some test in camera mode over the weekend

Hi TC - nice work on the wingmount - show us how you did the keelmount. Also - are you using some form of safety connection (piece of Bungi etc etc ) to prevent it from going through the prop in the unlikely event of the mount failing?

Howzit dudes :!:

I always mount my cam on my helmet,but Sunday I tried it on the washout batton...awesome footage..really awesome..

My cam is really small,so it never had any effect at all....The most awesome part was me playing with the thermals over Tarlton raceway,you actually see the difference when the thermal picks me up..in my suit,the sounds of the wind...even the cam sounds like it gets dropped...the thermals pick me up and with the sink it sounds like the cam is dropped on a floor...

WInter flying is going to be funtastic...we already feeling it...QNH was 1023,dropped to 1022..

Thanx..I am really learning alot for you guys :!: :!: :!:
