If you use an OpenLog device for your Blackbox data recording, you have probably lost your SD card in a crash. In this video, I show you how I mount my OpenLog device and secure my SD card. First, mount the OpenLog device sideways so that the card is less likely to be thrown out by centrifugal force in a crash. Second, I show you a simple way to use a velcro strap to retain the card.
