The VIP pov camera is ideally suited to mounting anywhere on the airframe -
the camera unit is small and with an extension lead can be mounted on the
wingtips if required. The angle of view is 140 degrees so easy to fit the
whole cockpit into frame. 

Only problem I have found is that any camera mounted in the cockpit needs
substantial anti vibration mounting. Alternately cameras with built in image
stabilisation work well though not as compact.

I am currently experimenting with a gel type mount which will hopefully
dampen out the worst of any vibrations.

Any advice on video or time lapse camera types and mounting on the plane.
The Go Pro looks popular and good but far from aerodynamic in shape although
it could go in front of the mono outrigger. Taking pictures from the cockpit
is frustrating due to the perspex.
