Cameras
 

This is the second time I have tried to post this question..I am not sure where the first one went.. Anyway..I would like to mount a camera to the wing of my 1/4 scale Cub...I know nothing about cameras...I would like it if I could control it from the ground but I don't know if that is possible.. It would be nice to be able to turn it on and off and control the direction that it points . Also I would like to be able to take both stills and videos and I would like reasonably clear pictures...If somebody could recommend a camera and tell me where to find one it would be appreciated.. I did look on line but it got a bit confusing .. I found ones that looked a little like wieners for around $25.00 but I don't think they would do the job...

Controlling from the ground opens a whole can of worms with a gimbal and all.

The camera I use a LOT is a Go Pro Hero3 Black

If your plane is gas or glow the vibration is an issue with picture quality.

I have seen video shot from a quad coptor using the GoPro cam.  It was awesome.  <div>

Go Pro makes the best stuff, but to do what you want really takes 2 guys. One to fly the plane and one to fly the camera(so to speak). This is why a lot of guys mount the Go Pro to a quadcopter. The quad can be setup to fly like a plane and you can turn the copter to any direction instead of just the camera. If you go this route, make sure you get a top notch memory card for the camera. Most are not fast enough for video even if they have a capacity.
