GoPro shots (B-24 and P-51 content)

got to fly back seat in the jet…incredible machine. It flies really well once you get used to it. The ailerons and elevator are solid feeling and the rudder (yaw) is really light. After a few minutes of feeling it out it really is a delight to fly. I’m not a jet guy so getting used to the “rabbit and turtle” took a bit…In my mind it doesn’t matter which engine gets you to 250kts (be it Jumo or CJ6-10) its about the handling. It has an incredible roll rate and turns as stable and tight as anything I’ve flown thus far. Great airplane, glad they didn’t have better engines.

I know…I live on the road and travel 10 months out of the year with the tour. Trying to get the proper filter delivered to a particular city is a logistics nightmare. Every 3 days we are going to a new city. I am just living with it until I can get a Contour camera…always a work in progress. any suggestions are most welcome

Great shots, you do know there is something that you can do to get rid of the rolling shutter effect on the props?

Great pictures, thank you for posting. The 262 looks quite impressive.

couple more…

Just another quick update…we’ve done a couple really cool photo shoots with another P-51. Life doesn’t get any better 🙂

Thanks for more great shots Jim, very nice. And since you started this thread back when many people didn’t even know what a GoPro was, the title is both informative and accurate, not a generic term as was incorrectly implied. Well done on all counts. Keep them coming.

Jim, great shots of the ‘262 on the tour :cool::D

Can’t believe it’s been 5 years now since my trip in the B-25 and B-17 out of Moffat.

You are correct Cherry…but it eliminates the question “what kind of camera was used?” Here are some more photos we processed this morning.

Stunning pictures, thank you for publishing them.

But in the interests of commercial balance, there are many other camera systems that perform as well as or better than GoPro’s products. They are not unique in their field and I don’t think we should be ‘Hoover-ising’ their name.

For example, Contour HD is particularly popular with motorcyclists ( for some reason! ) and skiiers.

Edit: what I mean is, no-one would start a thread entitled ‘Canon content’ or ‘Sony pictures’.

I’m really loving these stills and videos – cheers for posting!

First move with the jet…we sure made alot of noise over Texas today 🙂

Oh My! so for $299(US) you get a camera and assorted mounts…collar cam of the the dog tearing up the yard, priceless. Imagine a cat chasing a pen laser?? oh the possibilities are endless.

Be careful what You wish for, Jim :D:

Well, I would attach one to my P51 or B24 however I think I may have to settle for the cat!

Have a look here, might save you the cost of the camera 😉

So how much would it cost to set up one go-pro camera then?
Was thinking of attaching one to the cat to see what it gets up to when I’m out!
