GoPro mount?

[Robbins]

I built a mount that bolts into the wingtip SFG holes on my 35% Extra. Facing the camera back towards the plane is a really cool angle. I still need to fine tune it, was getting bad vibration.

Yea Man U know what I'm puttin down!

Yea just saw your post. I really need to work on it because it's an awesome angle!

Wouldn't attaching the adhesive mount to the monocote/ultracote stretch it any, or even break or tear the film? I guess the use of the lanyard would be extra insurance.

As long as the covering is ironed down really good on a solid surface and cleaned with alcohol or wax & grease remover before you stick the mount down its not going anywhere! I do like the idea of a tether and will make one before I put the camera in the air again.

yes a tether is real cheap lightweight insurance!

I put mine facing backwards. I think it's actually a cooler frame as the nose is looking at nothing but blank sky more often than not. It's not like it costs anything really to try other positions though.

and I made the mistake of doing the stabilization and color correction on YouTube. It looked better before I did anything unfortunately.

Apparently you can change it back. but it takes a while...

You mounted it to the landing gear then? Handle bar mount?

 

[Sailor808]

Yep

Seems like a lot of people are mounting on the landing gear with the handlebar mount, if they had a mount similar to the handlebar mount but the clamp area were flat or even a slight curve with either rubber, or foam on both sides to minimize vibration. That seems like it would be better for the landing gear wouldn't it?

Put your own foam there. I cut some from the foam mats used in a work out area
