gsxrpilot Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think I'll need a couple of these. This might be the perfect camera to stick on the outside of the airplane. http://www.wsj.com/articles/gopro-shrinks-the-camera-again-hero4-session-review-1436187558?mod=e2fb Of course, this would mean turning in my CB membership card.

rbridges Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 That is cool but I think the traditional gopro would be better for the outside of the plane. I skimmed through the article but can you even attach mounts to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 That is cool but I think the traditional gopro would be better for the outside of the plane. I skimmed through the article but can you even attach mounts to it? Yes, and the mount places the camera much closer to the mounting surface. This would result in much less wind resistance, flex, vibration, etc. I'll probably have one on the Mooney for the Oshkosh arrival. I'll post a review after.

carusoam Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I saw it on TV yesterday. If you are a go pro user. This is an improvement... Expensive. 'No CBs invited' they said.... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy0681 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Who would have thunk that a product like this even had a use, but those guys found a niche that nobody had ever thought of before. It's companies like this that make America great and why the best years are still ahead of us, as opposed to what many of our countrymen seem to think. As long as America continues to innovate, we'll be just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkBug Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Does it work with the bluetooth remote? If not then you're better off with one of the other GoPro models that does. Nothing worse than wasting half your battery and memory card on the taxi and runup, then having nothing there for half the trip. Also at that price point I really cant find a good justification for it on the plane. I use older gopros all the time and there's no noticeable effect on the airplane and the only vibration I get is from the engine and that's not gonna be solved with a smaller camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
