Short of a camera man? Just taped on fly cam one v2 on my hat, and did a quick test in the backyard. Actually works pretty well :)

Ok, before you get too excited, I have had a lot of issues with flycamone2.... here is a post about the problems that I've had, as well as a couple vids of the cam onboard my mini titan: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=64732

Anyway, the flycamone's lense is pretty wide, which is good for not keeping the heli in the shot with the hat, but it also means that you have to fly pretty close to yourself or else it's really tiny on screen.

Thanks! Yeah the quality of the video is nice, good frame rate and res (original looks much better than what you see on youtube). I was a bit puckered up flying, trying to keep it close and near.... too many darn things in the way lol, shoulda gone out to the park, but just wanted a quick test to see how it looks.

It is a CX canopy. I have my slanted battery mount setup for wider packs, so I'm sure that it will work with traditional setup... I think buzzkill said that it worked on his? My megapower packs work just fine, but thunder power packs are too wide near the nose. I did try CX2 canopy, but it is slightly slimmer at all the wrong places, the sides were touching the servo links.... I may try to figure out something for it later.
