The only one I know that can be controlled remotely is the Drift HD170

The rollbar / windshield brace mount is the only one that is NOT stable.

I'm almost done with my DRIFT 170HD tail camera mount. All I need is to final paint.

Tail cam
Great mount you have there. Will the remote activate it from the cockpit while mounted? I have just started using mine, Velcroed on the glare shield, it's quick and easy till make a mount. The picture is excellent, whIle I was holding short the other day, turned the nose into the traffic and recorded a Herc on final, as he passed I turned my nose and captured the landing as well. I love how the lens rotates to accommodate any mounting position.

Next step is to form a clear plastic cover to protect the camera lens and allow me to fly without the camera installed. I'll need to create a female mold of the forward portion of the camera and either use vacuum or create the male mating piece to form the cover.
Yes - I tested the remote from the cockpit with canopy closed. It actually works to a range of about 30 ft consistently.

I like the Drift, the only downside I see is that you have no confirmation that the camera is on or off. I'm still partial to the VIO POV line for that reason... I think being sure that the camera is filming (or not) is worth the effort it will take to route a wired camera into the tail.

Intercom Recorder
Hi All,
I am looking at installing one of the Drift HD170's on a wing mount and using the remote control to turn it on/off. I would also like to add an intercom/radio recorder so that I can have some audio to go with the camera video. Is there a voice recorder that I could plug into the passenger headset jack?
Thanks,
Tom RV-7A N175TJ Flying

Looks like the Contour has a mobile app for Apple devices that allows you to control the camera through BlueTooth and even upload the videos wirelessly. I don't know if BlueTooth has the range to be able to control a wingtip or tail-mounted camera.
