Crazy flyer/crasher :D
Okay guys,
As the weather in Germany is quite rainy at the moment I decided to work on a camera mount to carry my digital camera.
(BTW: Up to that last crash where I broke my last crash I wasn´t up flying but the day before yesterday I realised I had 3 8x4,3 Props (i had 9x4,7 before) and one was coloured black (by me but that was ages ago) So I used them for flying and now I can hover perfectly spot on on mid stick on throttle, but that is without any attachments, like camera etc. )
So yesterday I started looking at how to do such a mount and had a quick look at David´s solution. I only had Balsa laying around so I used that cut out at his measurements (19x4cm I believe) and attached a small Key chain cam on it. Flew and all I can say is that I am fairly dissappointed with the quality of those Key chain 808´s. Also the mount broke very quickly.
So to get the vibration out in the first place I did just like David did. Two zipties into a silicon tube (i had from my Monstertruck for the fuel) and attach one ziptie to the frame and the other one to the camera mount. That worked pretty well, as all the Vibration had to go over the silicon tube.
Now what I did yesterday is not directly attach the bottom zipties to a mount but again to another same set of Silicon tube and that second silicon tube now also dapened the vibs even more. Also I just used a 2 cm wide and 20 cm long stick (plywood) and attached that, mounted the camera to the front of it and made my first videos. The went pretty well
That is how far I got now.
