It was a Casio Exilim EX-S880 (about £100 on e-bay a year or so ago, possibly discontinued). So a still camera with a video function. There is a tie down hole in the wing tip. I made a "dart" with the camera up front, and a tail fin to try and keep it straight, and mounted it mid-way with a bolt through the wing tip. It wobbled a bit (wing tip vortex hitting the fin?), but I was mainly happy not to see it blow away altogether (there were a few glances to see it was still there).
What is the point of the white ball on the cable?

Beautiful! Which camera are you using and how did you mount it to the wing?
