Default Okay all you onboard camera fanatics...

Saw this at a fly in today...

I LOVE the attachment hardware!! Maybe tie-wraps instead of duck tape next time Doug???





And the airplane it was attached to...



A good 'ol Stearman!

I like the tape around the lens to keep the zoom aspect from changing!


Great shot!

Is it also attached with a screw into the threaded tripod attachment hole? Or are those washers at the top of the picture unrelated?

The pictures - and not loosing the camera - is all that counts at the end of the day!

Chris, you and your dad should've come over to that one yesterday...it was just over in Kankakee! Lots of fun, flying, and GREAT food! And, yes, it was a FILM camera!

I think the washers on top of the post are for the threaded tripod mount. I'm sure it's required per the STC'd installation! HA!!

I think i got 9 to 11 kids a flight and then took some of the ground crew for flights. It was a great day to get out and fly!
