3PV FPV - A Change in Perspective

Most FPV videos seem to lack of something of interest in the foreground... let alone THE real item of interest: the aircraft itself!  Inspired by the "RotoR" mount that was developed for motorcyclists and skiers, I'd never seen something like that done before on an airplane...so I decided to give it a try.  It affected the airplane's pitch stability a little, but nothing the SkyHunter can't handle!  It has a continuous rotation servo that can be turned on in-flight to rotate the cameras around the airplane.

Thanks Ian and Mike for letting me borrow some of your footage, Derrick for launching, and everyone else who was there to help and witness this contraption fly!
