I assume you're going to start it recording before takeoff? Post some vids when you have them, but try to get it tight to the airframe or the vibration will hose it. Regardless, in-flight video always draws a crowd.

I did the exact same thing with a kodak cx7430 and my walkera 36. Came out pretty good. Flight time went from 15 minutes to 6 and it was definitely struggling with the weight, but it worked.
