New camera!

I tried a new camera at the beginning of the fly-in and liked the quality and the ability to have a remote to turn it on and off. It also has a rechargeable battery that will give me four hours of recording if I should need it. The camera also seems to have less of that annoying wave that some have. My other camera, (Tachyon HD) was as nice, but it required Lithiun Ion batteries that cost about 4 bucks a pop and did not have a threaded camera mount, making it harder to stabilize the camera. Plus it did not have a remote, requiring me to mount it on my gear leg to be able to turn it on and off.

The camera is a Drift Stealth HD. I ordered it last week as soon as I was able to view the video. It was delivered last night. I took it for a flight this morning and found that my nose cone mount had some slop in it, so I made a new one that I was able to secure much better. The following link is the results of the short test run that I made this morning.

It became necessary to make my video's private and have a password after I went to the Tachyon site and found that they were using one of my video's to advertise their camera. That in itself would not have been so bad if the one that they used did not show me trying to scare Antelope out of the neighbors hayfield. Now what I was doing is legal, but the BLM does not always hire people that are reasonable in their ability to think. That password will allow you to see any and all of my video's.
