To the boats

My current contract involves crew and cargo transport to a fleet of boats which operate 150-250 miles offshore.  I've attached a couple of videos of boat landings as seen from the helicopter.

There is a lot of camera bouncing in the first video where I attached the camera to the dash with some velcro. The helicopter doesn't bounce like that, but the camera sure did at the bottom of the approach.


The second video where the camera was mounted to my headset shows is less shaky, but the door post blocks some of the video!



In the shots where you can see inside the cockpit some of the screens look very strange, like the video is being drawn right before your eyes, that has something to do with the camera frame rate and the refresh rate on the screens.  Through regular eyeballs it would just look like a normal screen display.
