Hi, Guys If you are interested in learning to up you production value, RC helicam is the tool that can do just that. Problem is that they are very challenging for people who are not incline with operating Radio control crafts. We have created the first all dedicated aerial photography forum, www.APGeeks.com for people interested in the craft. It's a friendly environment for anyone to learn and ask question. You won't get hostile response from other experience members that many of these one subcategory AP forum will experience. We have both beginner and pro pilot section, so you won't tick off other members. Check it out and your questions will be answered. Jason

Current Rig are setup for Canon SLRs. We have ones that can carry 6 lb cameras comfortably and have carried up to 9lb setups such as the SI 2K on link below. Have never carry a HD link before, if camera and HD link weight less than 9Lb range, than that's fine. Depends on the flight patterns required. Flying along people and keep some distance then that's fine. If flying over people if require, then have to fly with our Multicopter that's much safer than Helicams with a HD hero camera and use the remaining payload for the HD transmitter. How much does the HD transmitter weight? Jason Aerial Photography New York to San Francisco www.SkyShutter.com

Phil, Thanks for the suggestion and I just happen to be in San Francisco at the time. So it was the perfect project for me. Glad that you like it. Jason

That is great. Wow, Red on the quadCopter. Here is my design of All In One HeliCam, AeriCam. http://www.AeriCam.com Jason

Here it is in color. http://www.jasonlamphotography.com/sfpano2.jpg

Here is a recreation of the famous earthquake shot. I didn't shoot the shot at the same angle as it's a very busy ferry port. I shot it about 2 blocks off center from the original location. Here is a link to the San Francisco Aerial photo. http://www.jasonlamphotography.com/sfpano.jpg

I am actually in San Francisco for another week visiting. And I bought my still photo Helicopter, I might just go down to the piers and try that shot. Will post it if I got the shot. Jason

Dranganfly carry some where around 1 to 2 lb payload. My helicopter carries up to 10 plus lb payload.

Hi, Guys I am currently looking to buy an eyemo 71 type camera. Since there's so many models made, which one should I look for if, I want lightest weight eyemo that can fit a Nikon lens? Is an adopter needed for the nikon lens? And where can I buy one? Sorry for so many questions, Thank you. Jason

Hi, All these video were shot by just me, When there's a second camera operator, who can operate the roll will to keep horizon more level. There's also a new item IMU on the horizon, it's available, but I will just wait a bit long for them to fix a few bugs. The IMU will keep perfect Horizon even flying solo without a camera operator.

Depends on the weather. Windy day will need post stabilization. This is shot with a Sony HC5 1080i camera. I have helicopter that carry EX1 and HPX170. Here is a new mix video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2u2RnGUHSI Jason

My Aerial Photography Site have been up Aerial Photography New York www.SkyShutter.com

I saw the behind the scene, some are done with hot air balloon, some probably with Helicopter. I am in the process of perfecting my RC helicopter cam. In the next couple of month, it will have Gyro Stabilization. Here are 2 clip without gyro stabilization. http://vimeo.com/3273324 http://vimeo.com/3344755 jason

Here is another Aerial video of beach and water in SF. http://vimeo.com/3344755

Guys, An Aerial video from San Francisco. http://vimeo.com/3273324

And yes, I can frame the shot, I have a live view and another person can control the pan, tilt axis of camera mount. Knock on Wood, haven't drink yet in the past year and half. We are very careful and treat it like a full scale, pre-check before every flight.

Guys, Sorry, I didn't know so many comments, I guess I have to play with the setting, so I know when someone leave me comments. Yes, the copters are quite difficult to fly, I have been learning for 3 year prior to strapping a camera on it. You really have to master your flying skills before thinking about aerial photography, otherwise you are sure to crash your nice cams. You also need to know the ins and outs of your copter to be able to tune the heli vibe free, steep learning curve for sure, still feel like I know so little. The past year and a half is just learning ways to subdue the vibes. Will have more videos soon. Jason

Guys, New to the forum. Don't see anyone mention about aerial Photography with RC helicopter. I have in the business for the past 3 years. I have just finished a helicam that can carry HVX 200 and 16mm and modify 35mm Arri cam. Here is a rough sample video shot with Mini HDV cam. http://vimeo.com/1039579
