Jeff aka J-Michael,

Got your replies, thanks!

Now I am go to show you young wipersnappers how old people make hat cams. Though this was my first shooting. I flew my T-28 and my 400. I had tried to get the telephoto right but still need one more flight to lock in. The camera is adjustable with swivel.
This was all caught on my new home made LOL hard hat heli cam which I will get to in a moment. I shot the videos in YOU TUBE mode settings on my camera and they are a bit snowie. But for some reason one can be viewed in HD??? Also my lens was not out far enough so the bird looks very small and with the gray clouds she was hard to see, BUT the helmet cam worked flawlessly. a little shaky in two places but I turned a few times thinking someone had walked up on me. Once I started seeing how far to push the telephoto lens out it got much better as you will see. Now the helmet cam. I have been watching your "Jeff Michael's" vids from your hat cam and thats why I asked you to see it.

Last night I took apart the 4" tripod I use to video my heli stuff on the bench. So I took my old work hard hat (construction helmet) and drilled a hole in it and mounted the swivel head of the tripod and set the legs aside. It worked great. People came up to me at the park while I wore this helmet with a camera attached on top like a Mohawk and only asked about the plane and helis, they get it! and I was surprised to be honest. That is kinda the nice part of being.....................60 3/4 years old, you don't give a poop what people think. No I dont wear plaid shorts and flower shirts....I am not that far gone yet LOL. But trying to come up with something that would ALWAYS sit like the last time, well this worked great today, what can I say.

OK GUYS HAVE YOUR LAUGH ON ME

JPEE
