250 My first onboard video.

The camera did not live up to my expectations, suffering from poor performance in high-contrast environments and the "CMOS wobbles" from the vibration. Also, when facing the sun, the main blades interrupt the light and cause some serious horizontal banding. Not too bad for a 13 gram camera, but I suspect that I could find a better device if I look around.

I am mainly using the camera to document my improvement with collective control. It has been really rough since taking off the training gear, but I am getting the hang of things.

Looks good man. One way to help that vibration is get a velcro strap and strap that camera down TIGHT! the tighter you have it, the more stable the video will be.

I tie wrap my camera hard to the horizontal stab. This give you a great view of the swashplate. Getting rid of vibes is almost impossible with a heli, unless you're using some sort of gimble system.
