Best Camera to record my flights
Not an instructor but I'd agree that they don't give a pilots eye view necessarily
Traffic can be hard to spot , especially in the circuit which means it can be difficult to see in retrospect why you widened out the circuit for example
I have a classic video where I forgot about my clipboard on the dash , from my eye view it was all but invisible. From the cameras perspective it looked like I was near head butting the damn thing
As a student the videos help me review my turns ( too early /too late?), my centre line alignment and generally if I'm keeping it square etc.
