GoPro and other cams in flight

Oh I concur. Just seems like that's a spot that something might work in the T-45.

I've yet to use mine in the jet, but the suction cup mount rocks on windshields and windows.

There's always one of you in the crowd huh?

I'm still in the "don't piss people off mode". I'm really excited to get a GoPro and get some good video, just trying to do it smart. Don't want people to think I'll be the next Lake Tahoe guy.

Here is a low quality version with a windshield suction cup mount. A little vibration on the ground and going through ETL, but otherwise not bad.

Only 720p but very nice anyway. Made with Contour HD.

I want 4 wing stations on each side...and black leather flight gloves.

I bet they'd trade you to actually be flying Harriers again.

Coolest Harrier video I've seen!

Got a GoPro Hero2 recently, works great. I'm not too big of a fan of their suction cup mount in the jet, as it's difficult to get the camera turned so it's either horizontal or vertical. Any suggestions on how to mount it on a helmet or a headset?

Any 10 seconds of that 10 minute fighter porno is worth more by any measure than all of Top Gun and Iron Eagle combined.

I could be wrong, but it sure sounds like those Air Force dudes are saying: "Cock Flight"...?

Presumably being led by Maj Blocker.

I thought the same thing and then said to myself..."No way...that's the Air Force."

 

[Treetop Flyer]

Yes, they are the fighting cocks.

 

[Rocketman]

No info on what camera was used here but it's a nicely done 720p video. Be sure to change the quality to 720.

Short and sweet.

The 67th FS out of Kadena are known as the "Fighting Cocks" and their ATC C/S is "Cocks"....yes, very un-Air Force'ish.

I have some bros who fly with the Go Pro and I can vouch that it can handle up to 7.5 G's when using a suction cup to the canopy or the helmet strap. I use the Contour 1080P HD velcro'd to my helmet. It has handled up t0 7.5G's as well. With all of this being said, my CO is on board with us flying with these cameras as long as we are following the policy letter he put out WRT flying with cameras/video cameras.

Gents, we're doing a Prowler "last ride" video for this next cruise, and we're trying to make it pretty sweet. Any ideas for creative camera angles? We've been brainstorming already, but I'm curious to see if you all have any ones we haven't thought of.
