I liked your video. I've been following your twitter feed and when you mentioned the cost of Jet A I thought you might have been flying a turbine - it makes me so happy to see an R22! May I ask where you mounted your camera and how you keep it so steady? Thanks for sharing the view of the river.

Glad you like the video. It's actually an R44 Raven II. For this video, the camera is mounted using a RAM mount on the bar between the two front seats. The mount has some rubberized surfaces and I think that helps keep the vibration down. On other videos, I mount the camera outside, on the helicopter's nose. Still can't decide which I like best.

Ok, R44 That makes sense! Easier to mount that camera on the bar. I was trying to imagine how you had attached it to the firewall on a 22. It's embarrassing I didn't recognize the control panel of an R44 - I train in the R44 (private going commercial/CFII) and love that helicopter. So many people I know are itching to fly Jet Rangers and A-Stars but I think the Robi is great bird. Thanks for sharing the pics and vids.
