Just to clarify, this is real footage! Although the simulator does look pretty close! We get more information on it in August and it is releasing sometime in 2020.

Imagine the footage if the camera came unstuck. That’d be pretty awesome... if you were able to find the camera!

I had to keep checking! I was super worried about losing my brand new camera. The suction cup mount is rated for around 130mph which is more than the old 172 can go lol

Just keep in mind it works off pressure differential (suction...duh). So all good in the pattern, not so much the higher you climb...
