REFLECTOR: FW: Winglet camera

[Darrell & Nora Kufalk]

Rene',

 

I have been thinking about the same thing.  Luckily, technology has caught
up with us.

 

WiFi digital cameras.  Put the camera out on the wing and control it with
your laptop.  You can even see what you're about to capture.  I don't know
if you can turn them on and off remotely and save the batteries.  Here are 3
cameras with long reviews that I haven't read yet.

 

Here's the link with more info.

Dear fellows,

I wish to mount a wind protected acrylic box on the inside of my winglet to
mount a small digital camera that has a remote control activated from the
cockpit to take travel pictures from the pilot side winglet over the plane
and to the background.  I need to be able to turn it on, have autofocus and
trip the shutter from inside of the plane.  I do not wish to wire this.  I
plan to silicone the bracket to the winglet behind a separate wind dam or
ramp of three inches and Velcro and strap the camera for easy but secure
mounting.  Does anyone have experience with such a camera?  It does not need
to be water proof since I would not mount in bad weather but I could make
the acrylic box sealed.  Cascio makes a great little camera but it is not
remote controllable.  Ideas.

Rene'

I am familiar with Rich's arrangement.  I'm too lazy to do all that work for
my occasional picture.
