Veho Muvi mounted under R/C plane

I just quickly strapped my mini cam under my ultimate and here is the first video. Unfortunately even though the camera is really light I had it a bit too far back from the CG making the plane really difficult to fly. The prop makes a funny banded look since the video scan rate captures slices of it rather than a snapshot. I actually had the camera mounted upside down and flipped the video in post with Sony Vegas Video Pro 9.0. I do think this muvi is a fantastic mini camera for R/C or biking. Shot at Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, California 92127 in Feb 2010

I don't think I changed the card out but if it was then I had used at most a 4gb class 4. It doesn't really require a fast or large card.

The main problem is that the mount vibrates a bit so with some tape and creativity you can make it work very well. I actually carved out a hole in the foam of another plane and just shoved it in there like a passenger.

Yea that's what I was worried about but it really turned out good. It even has decent low light abilities. As far as the landing goes, I have 3 excuses; tall grass, terrible landing gear placement, and bad CG made me make a forced landing. :)

how heavy is your plane and did you have any trouble flying it with the extra weight of the camera? I'm thinking about buying the same camera for my plane but i'm not sure if it will be able to take the extra weight. Nice video!!

which memory card did you use? was it the supplied 2gb? which class was it? Great vid by the way!! I'm thinking of buying one for my plane but not sure if it will produce videos of a good enough quality...
