I see that the viewer can toggle the HQ on and off. That makes a big difference. Is that what you mean by the wheel?

Yes, the degradation can be from your youtube settings. But also if you are recording from inside the cockpit, your camera, with its autofocus, can focus on your windshield or cowl, and your outside scenery might be a little blurry. That's where a higher mounting (outside is best, of course) that doesn't see your windshield or cowl is better. My old Sony vid cam has a manual focus, and I just set it the farthest distance, so the outside scenery is always in focus. It also has a motion stability feature, which may help a bit, too.Coastflyer wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMP8U84 ... ata_player
Here's the takeoff. See if you can spot the pickup truck that turnes onto the runway and comes toward us just as we're lifting. Got lucky there I guess. A few seconds later and we may have been in trouble.
As I view these on YouTube, I'm noticing a lot of variation in quality, from almost as good as the original, to really grainy and not much fun to watch. Hopefully that's a function of my internet connection, and not an actual degradation.
I'll get you a picture of my "mount" Walter, although I haven't been able to post any pics here directly, so maybe it will be a YouTube vid. It's currently just taped onto the top of the dash, but I was thinking of trying the top cross beam like you. Boy, It's neat having your phone mounted right in front of you like that. You can do a lot.
