RC Flying: AP New Camera Mount 2...Glenn Landing

Testing new position of the camera. Facing forward down at 45 degrees instead of straight on. Seems to help get rid of the auto light filter(light/dark) issues. Got to annoy some golfers in the mean time which is always fun. Thanks for watching.

[2Aug2]

how did you mount that?

@2Aug2 The camera is skinny and tall with the lens at the top. I Cut a slit about an inch wide in the EZstar from the open part of the canapy to a little before the nose. I put the camera all the way forward in the nose facing down on angle and strapped it down. I moved the lipo back behind that. Good thing with the EZ is that it needs a ton of nose weight especially with the larger motor it had. The things was shaky as hell because I was flying only rudder to turn. It was a 1st stepin AP

@2Aug2 The slit I cut was on the top of the EZ and the camera lens rested on the nose. I had the whole thing put together with 3M Extreme tape and it worked amazing. If I want to switch out gear or motor I cut the tape, it's not glued. I lost the EZ in my first FPV attempt. I have it but it's in pieces.

Great job. Great quality picture. What kind of camera was it?

@codyboy29108 Thanks, if you think this is good check out some of my recent videos taken from my Hexakopter. This camear was on an Easy Star, it is an Aiptek HD+ camera. Thanks for the comment.

@redhotpearl1 oh, gotcha. My camera is a keychain, so it is pretty much a vertical camera. i'll try mounting it on the side of the plane
