If you’re looking for a little quarantine project....
I Wanted a better perspective for inflight photos so I made this mount to extend ahead of the wing by 2 feet. Makes a real difference.
I used 3/4” carbon fibre tubing with 3/4” aluminium square stock (all provided by my hangar mate John). I fabricated the brackets to fit into existing holes/nut plates for the wing tip attach points.
I was worried about vibration but it turned out great.
First photo is of the mount without the camera on the end. Second is a photo with the go pro mounted on top of the wing (old position). The third photo is with the camera mounted on the new carbon fibre extension rod. Much better photo.
