Here is video taken once again from the camera on-board the Super Cub. I’m flying out front of my folks’ house this time in the Carson valley. (See the previous flight and crash from behind the house)

I’ve been flying a little more recklessly of late, hence all the crashes… Today I was trying to fly a little slower and use the wind to “hover” but the wind left me high and dry with too little altitude to recover. The plane fell out of view near a neighbor’s house so all in all I’m lucky to have avoided more damage.

It’s too bad I didn’t have more free memory on the camera because immediately after this crash I nosed it in the dirt which was by far the worst crash the Cub has seen… never fear though, the Cub sustained only superficial damage and lives on to fly another day.

I took the Super Cub up at dusk during a beautiful Southern California sunset to test my new camera. The results were impressive but as you can see the camera isn’t very good at low light levels. The sunset was much more brilliant than the camera captures; it seems that the automatic white balance makes capturing a sunset somewhat difficult.

The camera by the way is an EDVR 5-in-1, which is very similar (if not the same) as the 5-in-1 multipod camera. It fits in the palm of my hand and weighs only 43 grams so attaching it to the plane was no big deal.

Update: See the mounting location here

All in all I’m very happy with the results this camera puts out. It seems worth the $90 I picked it up for here.
