"Wingcam" combat pics

Post by TwistedProp »

These are off a couple videos I took using a "wingcam" during an Open-B round and a Scale round this year, it's an interesting perspective....I would have had a lot more videos but I kept forgetting to hit the record button before launching (a bad glow plug,loose prop nut and so on...is all it takes for me to be forgetful in that 90 seconds)

Good work! I've played with several of those "spy" cameras including one built into a pair of sunglasses. They are a lot of fun to use in creative ways. It looks like you must have mounted the camera on the left wing.

This is a video of a SSC round here in Dallas, taken with one of my $25 "spy" cameras. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E6DrFY30G4

I too have been using the "spy" sunglasses.....this one is the "keychain" spycam, $10 off e-bay. Yeah, left wing mounted, I tried to get in a little bit of the prop for reference. I had in mounted on the hor stab looking down the fuselage, which looked really cool on the scale ship but was too wavy, too much vibration I guess (coro stab)
