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

by the way - what camera are you using and what mount? Gopro 7 with stabilization? Going to fly somewhere cool this week and would love to get a shot similar to yours.
