Hey all -
I apologize if this is not the right place for this post. My father has been a private pilot for about 15 years and his birthday is coming up. My sisters and I would like to purchase him a camera for his glider and/or Sundowner Beechcraft. He loves to send us videos shot from inside of his glider, but mentioned he would enjoy something similar to a GoPro... I've been doing some research and have come across the Fly360, Garmin VIRB, and of course, GoPro. Ideally, this would be something lightweight that he could mount to a wing of his glider, but if that's not possible, something that will give the best possible footage of his flights.
If anyone has any experience with any of these cameras and/or could make another recommendation, it would be greatly appreciated. My father recently sold his business and retired and has been spending a LOT of time in the air, and we would love to be able to give him something to relive his adventures when he can't get in the air.
Thank you!
Jill
