    I guess it would have to be locked to the horizon for that.

    I think it would be very hard to fly - how would you know if your wings were level? You would have to rely totally on instruments and visual cues, high altitude especially would be challenging.

    Easy, you just have to put a part of the airplane in the camera field just like the bike

    I guess that would work. Might be cool to have a camera like that mounted on the tail so you could see the whole plane - chase cam view. I wonder how it handles full rolls. But I think part of the fun of FPV is being 'in the cockpit'.

    or maybe works just a recording camera, like the gopro.
    you would have a camera switcher to change cameras.

    I'm uncomfortable watching that vid of a guy shifting his butt around... Could the manufacturer make a promo vid with a bikini clad girl riding the same bike?

    Neat camera, but with a Gopro and a gyro or a IR stabalizer the same effect could be achieved. Might be useful for aerial video... does it even have a live output? If not then you can't fpv it anyhow.

    it works fine, but this one must be very light.
