As most of you know, I bought a Tachyon HD camera, and I have been
unable to get the harmonic wave out of it. It has been very
disappointing to say the least. I was able to tame all that with the
regular Tachyon @ 480, but something about the HD mode will not be tamed
by foam. If one sticks it on their head it does fine, but you end up
with greatly reduced visibility shooting through the wind screen. The
fella that shot the recent video with the camera mounted on the gear leg
impressed me with the stability of the video, so I thought that I would
try it and see what would happen with this Tachyon.
The attachments show what I came up with. I made a preliminary flight
test today and found that at max throttle of 6000 RPM's there were no
harmonics, but at 5400 where I normally cruise, I had some, not as bad
as before, but more than I want. Tomorrow I will, weather permitting, do
some more testing and see what RPM's give me the best video. It does
look promising for a change. The nice part of where it is located, is
that I can reach out the back of the door and turn it on and off as I
need and cut down on battery usage, and editing.
