These clips are from last fall, 2010.  I was trying to fly an RC plane, my Multiplex Twinstar II, as smoothly as possible in calm dawn air to see how stable I could make on-board video.  The answer was not very stable, mostly due to a deceptive amount of wind at that hour.  I smoothed this video with Gunther Thalin's Deshaker (free) for VirtualDub (free) with smoothness values of 3200 and a 110% crop.

This perspective is called "FPV" though I did not have a live video ground link on this flight.  I just eyeballed from the ground.

The camera is a Sony Webbie PM1.
