...expensive and new the next year

I used to fly RC planes...but I just can't seem to find the time to both fly RC and shoot photography (much less the money); else, the wife would serve the divorce papers

What you need is to find a way to rig a wireless triggered camera to the RC aircraft and do aerial photos!! best of both worlds right??

Untill you CRASH the aerial photo rig...

The cheap was is to just use the timer on the camera and throw it up into the air.
Could you write the busted camera off as an exercise expense?

I mounted a CVS one time use video camera to the plane in the second video (except, the camera was modified with usb so it wasn't one time use and I used a coping saw and sawed off the AA battery compartment and used the 5VDC receiver to power the camera. I'll post that video tonight.

Here are some Samples of what we do with RC Helis. We did these a few years ago more to come.

See the other videos to the right side.

Thanks Roy
I took us about 2 yrs to help develope the mount but have done lots of testing and know this is the best way to get video from an RC Heli. We use all electric helis now.. and the ride is much more smooth.......
