Greetings!
Just purchased an Insta360 camera and thought I would attempt to save a few dollars and fashion a home built pole mount for the wing tip rather than pay for the one offered through Flightflix. My plan is to do something similar to what JD Finley did, as shown in his video here:

A couple questions for those who have gone before me:
(1) Does it make any difference whether the camera is attached in line with the pole or at a right angle to the pole, as done in the video? Im thinking there could be a difference in either the orientation of the video that would need to be corrected in editing, or perhaps aerodynamic differences that would cause the camera to bounce more in flight
(2) Is there a preferred position for the pole either on top of or below the wing? The position choice could possibly result in a slight difference in the camera view or a difference in how the camera or plane reacts during flight.
thanks for any tips you can provide.
