Pre-takeoff checklist
I know I've posted a video like this before, but I am starting to really like the perspective of a gyro-stabilized gopro. AWOS reported winds 18 gusting to 25, mostly down the runway. Not bad, but because the runway's length and end are bounded by dense trees, there's a bit more turbulence than if these structures weren't there.
And the stabilized camera mount shows how my reaction to the wind is either delayed or exaggerated. It's also neat to see the latency between input to yoke and plane actually responding with the bank.
If I was an instructor, I would really consider using the single-axis (maybe even dual) gopro mount (someone posted a link to a very nice dual-axis mount and I will at some point get it).
