Default Good sky cam?

What is a good sky cam to put on one of my planes at a fair price? Also where would the best spot to mount the cam? Under the engine or on the side of the fuselage? Thanks alot...

Remember that the vibration from glow, 4C or gas engines will produce horrible results on video.

Your best bet is to use a very slow flying electric plane.

Slow flyers work best, because they prevent you from jerking the camera around in the sky quickly...

Anyway, check out the FlyCamone Version 2.

While not super high quality, the price is right ( $99.00 ) and all of the accessories are available, though you don't need to use any if you wish.

Wireless Transmission Range: 150M (450 FEET), Line-Of-Sight for the el cheapo.

Try these instead for airplane applications
