I have a ContourGPS. Th has a mechanical slider switch on it, so no easy wa
y to remote start it. That being said, with a 32g chip, you can get 8 hours
of video. So you can edit out the dead time before takeoff....

r greater bullet cameras with the choice of different lenses (~$100 each on e
Bay). The end result is a good looking image from multiple angles. The down s

emote DVR that recorded HD video so I decided to go with standard def and su

housands of dollars so I decided to go low-def for now. FYI I always carry t
wo additional cameras. One is an HD Video camera called the Sony Bloggie MHS
-TS20 . It is a pretty amazing HD unit for the price with a 3=9D scree
n. I paid $120.00 for the camera. Takes pretty good still photos too. Occasi
onally I mount it with a suction RAM mount. This is a video taken with the p
rior version of the Bloggie called the Webbie. Note: you should watch this i
n 1080p mode. This was a test video in low light conditions. I was learning t
he focal length of the camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aJt4_Chswo&

P video does a surprisingly good job of HD video. Sorry no examples.

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
=9Ctower=9D style computers. Not something I wanted to add to the a
irplane. The early adopters curse.
