I'm looking for a camera installation for my RV-10. I've used a hand-held
video camera but really would like a camera mounted on the VS and a recorder
in the cockpit. Shooting from inside the cabin shows up the prop in straight
ahead shot so I'm thinking raising the camera would help. I've seen video on
Utube that was taken from the VS. Anyone have experience or sources?

GoPro cameras are great for that type of thing. They also have tons of different
mounts for them. Most "stunt videos" you see on YouTube are probably GoPro
cameras.

I like the Contour series.... The Contour GPS has a built in GPS so it shows the
ground track in Google maps along with the video..... Small package, very
well built...

Albert,
I have placed a 3 camera (can add a 4th) video recording system
in my 8A. One on the VS, one on the belly pointing aft and one in the
cockpit to film both Pilot & squirming Passenger. The cameras are all 520
Line or greater bullet cameras with the choice of different lenses (~$100
each on eBay). The end result is a good looking image from multiple angles.
The down side is the video is not HD. I was unable to find a small,
reasonably priced *remote* DVR that recorded HD video so I decided to go
with standard def and supplement it with something like GoProHD
http://gopro.com or the ContourHD camera http://contour.com/ internally
mounted. See Note at the end of this email.
I have a feeling that 5 years for now there will be many
different choices but unfortunately your plane will be painted & flying for
some time by then. Below are a couple of photos of the install. You can see
in one photo the shot from the tail on the display screen. I can switch
which camera is being recorded with the knob to the left of the display.
I think this system will work out nicely but is not the ideal
hardware for the task. I did see some cool stuff out there but it was many
thousands of dollars so I decided to go low-def for now. FYI I always carry
two additional cameras. One is an HD Video camera called the Sony
Bloggie<http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?
catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=8198552921644696
004&XID=O:sony%20bloggie:dg_bloggie_gglsrch:Blo_Blo_nopromo#/model8gbCont
ent>MHS-TS20
. It is a pretty amazing HD unit for the price with a 3=94 screen. I
paid $120.00 for the camera. Takes pretty good still photos too.
Occasionally I mount it with a suction RAM mount. This is a video taken wit
h
the prior version of the Bloggie called the Webbie. *Note: you should watch
this in 1080p mode*. This was a test video in low light conditions. I was
learning the focal length of the camera.

Here is a New Years flight video. Suggest you view full screen & 720p. Agai
n
taken with the older Webbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR2i9EQRZ50&h
d=1
I have to say the videos from the Contour & GoProHD are much
better than the Sony Bloggie for action video. Also my 14 Mp camera with
1080P video does a surprisingly good job of HD video. Sorry no examples.
Good luck,
Robin
Note:
I believe the best HD video recording system will probably be a PC with an
HD video card. Record to a HD or SSHD then transfer content to thumb drive
or transfer via wireless / Bluetooth. There are several cards on the market
that accept independent video 4 inputs. This may also be the cheapest way t
o
film multiple HD videos. Unfortunately at this time the cards insert into
=93tower=94 style computers. Not something I wanted to add to the airplane.

I had a big scare with those 1023B's.
I was rooting around my parts drawers and found the virgin parts still covered
in vinyl. I searched the part number which led me to this thread. I panicked
thinking I hadn't installed them and they are covered by other panels so they
can't be seen. Fortunately I found pix in my log showing them installed. Van's
must have sent me extra copies of the parts.

That is better than Bonanzacrafters non-existent quality control. I
was working on the pieces that attach the wing root fairings, and
found the nut plates for the bottom fairing were installed without the
screw holes getting any dimpling. Guess I will need to drill out those
rivets, dimple and re-rivet the nutplates back on. Then I went to do
the forward tank support brackets, that attach with a couple AN3-5A
bolts into the fuselage side. Natcherly, the nutplates were installed,
but the bolt holes never finish drilled, so had to drill them
carefully to not burr the nut plates, and will have to live with no
de-burr of the inner side of the holes. Just sloppy work. Oh, and if
the brackets ever had a part label, it was long gone, so had to
identify by shape, size and hole locations. Little things that make
building so educational and recreational. ;-)

Kinda glad I did not have the money for the qb now. I have heard of many things
that had to be taken apart and redone by other builders too. I spent 9 weeks/205
hours getting to the qb stage. Glad you have the patience to deal with it.
Working on the cabin top now. Take care.
