Colorado Winter Wonderland

Post by photoSteveZ »

After dropping my Angel Flight West passengers in Durango, I headed home to Erie, Colorado on one of the most beautiful winter flying days I can recall in the high country of Colorado. This video combines time lapse, video, and stills. *No audio*

I use NFlightCam Ball Mounts, bolted to one of the attachment nut plates for wing tip, stab tip and/or radome. You do have to walk a fine line between tightening it down sufficiently to hold the camera against a 200mph slipstream, while not stripping the aluminum threads in the ball clamp.
