Here's the GoPro camera attached the mount that I riveted to the wing tip. I tried this on top of the rudder recently but noticed I got some significant vibration that provided a very shaky video. The next location I'll try will likely be the tip of the horizontal stab pointing forward as I've seen in some other folks' videos.

I used just the adhesive mounts, not caring if I lose the camera (that would provide an excuse to get a new one). They've held up to 100+ mph at 10 degrees fahrenheit and never come off.

Mounts placed on top of wing tip, under wing tip (by tie down ring), in front of tail tie down ring, and on horizontal stab.

Had a guy tell me yesterday that I was introducing a lot of parasitic drag. LOL.

These cameras are a good tool to help in testing and post test reviews.

Great picture. I always wondered how you mounted those cameras. TX
