It started with a GoPro. Unfortunately I directly took it abroad and of course lost it there. The only thing I can say about it is that the camera itself might be good but the app that comes with it is pretty poor. It wouldn’t even run on my smartphone and according to reviews on the web, the performance in general is slow and weak. A bit of a shame considering the price for these cameras is quite high.
Some days ago then I found a Video on youtube where the Pilot put a Mobius Actioncam on his plane. I was impressed by the size and the prize of this camera. It’s way smaller than a GoPro and has a better, flatter shape so there’s less drag and it costs about a third of the GoPro.
Left the Mobius Actioncam, right the GoPro Session 5 - Imagine each of them on your plane…
So now that I have a camera again, of course I want to mount it on every device. This is easely possible by using some velcro on the cam and on the devices. To avoid the camera from shaking too much I first tried to put a line of foam between the car and the velcro and went out immediately
These were the results from my testdrive with my car:
Driving low speed, the foam reduces the vibrations of the car so the camera provides a good image. As soon as the car goes faster, the camera shakes way too much so the quality of the image gets worse. Especially on fast turns, when the camera tilts to the sides.
During the testdrive the velcro that was glued to the foam went loose. I then put it directly on the car. The results were better than with the foam but still not good enough for me. I’m thinking about combining the two techniques somehow to cushion the camera while keeping it steady.
