Video cam on a Gyro?

Postby bennieatsea » Tue Oct 31, 2006 4:01 pm

Hi there everyone,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to mount a small video cam on a Gyro without making it unsafe for the pilot? One of my collegues want to buy a Gyro after he saw them flying past us. He is from England,I wanna talk him into considering to learn flying in SA. Good for local econemy I hope. :wink:

Speak to RV4Ker and to Dark helmet for references if you wish...

I provide these kinds of solutions.

I'd be happy to assist.

Contact me on PM, on Oh 7 Three 6 Seven 4 Nine 2 Six 8 or e-mail me on stanhome @ ibfsa . com

I am sure we can find a solution for you.

Ram-mount seems fine, but you want a smaller (very small) and light camera?

Let DH send you some pics of what I supplied him with.

Hey there Bennieatsea

There is a Pilot here in Springs that mounted a camera on his gyro for land surveying reasons, the camera mounts on the outside of the gyro and there doesn’t seem to be any influence on the control or safety issues, will take a pic for u next time im at the field.
Fuel in hangar, runway behind u and alt above u doesn’t help

Hi

The RAF has loads of space inside the cabin to mount a Video camera.

I mounted one to the roof of the cabin the other day , and got great footage of the whole flight plus dash board.

Cheers
