 The contour GPS  is now the state of the art that people are using in race
cars and planes. Pit crews are watching the race from their i phones! They
have a particular model for aviation that prevents the prop from being
recorded onto the picture. I know someone who had his mounted at the top of
his tail and under the wing (yes two of them). His were the earlier versions
before they came out with the GPS model. He had a carbon/glass guy come out
and lay a plastic film over the top of the tail and then laid a few layers of
carbon fiber over it and then I think baked it (I'm not a fabricator, so don't
quote me on this process) but the mount came out beautiful and weighs less
than a couple of ounces. It was such a tight fit, I think he just used some
sort of epoxy to glue the mount on or a couple of set screws. It has never
come loose and is so small and so light the extra ounce or two does not
matter. However, you might need FAA permission to mount the camera externally,
so check your local FSDO and if they say " no problem, it's ok" make sure you
write down the date and time and whom you spoke to. (that's the aviation
attorney in me talking)
Finally, you might find a dealer who will be willing to give you a 20% price
break if you order 3 or more. Try 47th street photos website.
