GoPro/Camera & Mounts for DA-62

Post by UTMark »

I am looking to setup some camera's on my DA-62! I'd love to know from anyone on the forum how you're mounting cameras on your plane, what types of cameras you'd recommend, and any other advice you'd have on the subject!

Great results!!

I use the NFlightcam ball mounts: they include a machined spud that bolts to the airframe with bolts supplied by NFlightcam (I've used mounting holes on the wingtips and tail tip, as well as the bottom of the radome). The ball mount then attaches to the spud and is cinched down with two hex bolts that also immobilize the ball. I currently have a Hero9 Black mounted on the right wingtip and a GoPro MAX 360 camera mounted on the tail, but it's easy to move them around wherever you want. You can see some of my videos on my YouTube channel:

Hello,
attached is a video I made with my camera mount on the vertical stabilizer and an old GoPro4 Silver. The camera mount works even at >160kts :D
Even if it is only a DA40.
Greetings Oliver

Hello,
attached pictures of the camera mounts. The one on the wing should also work for the DA62.
Greetings Oliver

Does anyone know what the best solution is for a new DA42-VI? Something that can go on top of the wing tip? Is the spud made by NFlightcam also something that would work here?

NFlightcam mount works well on my 40, mounted on top of the wingtip:
