Student Pilot Journal Podcast #43


Multi-cam Madness!!!

My friend Jamie and I strapped a bunch of GoPros to the 172 and flew a short trip....during the heat of the day (probably why some shut off).  It was a hot but fun experiment and yielded some overall great results.  Shoot me an email and let me know what you think. greg@studentpilotjournal.com

Hi Greg, been following your podcast for a few weeks now. I'm a solo'd student pilot and these are sure instructional and entertaining.

Anyway, the reason of my post is regarding you GoPro HERO3s. YES, they overheat in the cockpit. I even went as far as to get an RMA from them and getting a new replacement. Guess what, this one lasts a bit longer before also shutting down. The only way I found to keep them running is, well, to cool them off. I now mount it on the top forward part of the right window and point the vent straight at it. Problem solved.

I'm thinking of trying to find a suction cup mounted, solar type fan so that I can use that when I want to mount it on the windshield.

Anyway, have a good one.

PS: I was planning to do a XC to COI or MLB from my home airport X39 on the west coast...I know you fly in that area.

Luis.

Thanks for the info Luis. Good to hear I'm not alone in experiencing issues. I will try your recommendation for the front camera. Unfortunately I can't get all the cameras good airflow. :-(

Hi

I'm a CFI and I just wanted to say I really enjoy seeing students and pilots sharing their stories like this! Nice job.

Thanks Joe! I had a great time making them as well. I find it best to just lay it all out...good or bad so students feel its ok to not understand or make mistakes as long as safety is #1. Appreciate the comment!
