One of our members attached a HD cam to the wing of Nigel’s Fox. Used tape and it had a safety string that we attached to the wheel hole.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Tip camera The Go-Pro Hero HD is the go. We stuck one onto the tip of a glider with the supplied taped attachments and it didn't fall off (Don't expect to get the tape off too easily!). I don't have any vid uploaded to the net but the quality is amazing. Todd _____

Could probably be mounted on top of your instrument panel, which I suspect is somewhat more legal than taping it to your wing.

You can set them up to either take photos or video, and they attach via a very strong suction cup. Please don't put one near a control surface. I'm told wingtips are fine, but attaching near the tail may cause instability in pitch and yaw.

A good contact for information would be John Parncutt who is a prolific producer of high quality gliding U-Tube videos. I have upgraded my camera from a compact digital to a Contour HD (Helmet cam) with a 135o angle and have made the wing mounts with a pole lifting the camera position above and just in front of the wing leading edge. Regards Peter PS some of my earlier videos can be seen on YouTube (BrookyGXC), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66GiSRDJ9vw taken with an older helmet cam.with only normal width vision.

The sugestions i heard so far involve a lot of duct tape. I certainly dont want to drill a wingtip but theres a tie down hole close to the rollerwheel on the wingtips. Maybe that could be used for something. Does anyone have any building plans of a camerahosding device or something?
