tell us more!!!
......Over the last few years we have purchased 22 cameras............ Most of the videos you see on line of our products and services were shot with these superior cameras. Thanks, Allan...
Allan, can you at least tell us a few of the common ones you've tried?
( a full report of course would be verrrrrrrrrrry interesting!)
I have the SONY AS-15, and think it shows promise.

the older models seem to be a very good deal!
A lot of the 'useability' of these things is whether the accessories work, not so much the colour or picture quality, as we tend to view them on low-res devices most of the time anyway!
For instance, the Blueteeth for my cam is line of sight, so I can't turn it on & off when it's mounted underwing. it IS handy to properly frame the mount orientation when you first screw it in place.
as far as aerodynamics, I agree, the old GoPro case seems poor, but if you point the cam anywhere but straight ahead, it's less of an issue.
OF course, GoPro came out with that little cube thing ( session) for the guys that just have to mount 5 of them everywhere!
I just use my iPhone in the cockpit...but still haven't optimized the battery life issue, I only got :45 last time, (and it was too jiggly to watch, so gotta work on that!)
