Aerial Photography Section - Excellent!!

[rick]

AP is the main reason I got into the whole RC hobby.  It's great to see a section on here for that.

I keep trying different things. Have an EZ Glider at the moment which I clip a Canon on (so I can use CHDK for interval timer etc) and chuck in the air.

I use the FPV sometimes to try and monitor what it's taking but as yet can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time (man thing I'm told!).

Trying to get a copter steady for closer type stuff is the aim.   I seem to keep going around in circles though.  Maybe a Naza is the way forward.

I'll try and get some pics up to show  - nothing amazing but it'd be nice to share some.

cool, will be nice to see how you've got on so far.

I did some aerial shots of my dad's next-door neighbours house a few weeks back, using my gopro2 set in timer mode, took a 11mp still every two seconds from my tricopter.  I did that one LOS as I had the gopro angled down slightly from the normal view of the fpv camera.

Nice one.  How do the gopro stills look?  Be interested to see a couple of those.

Are you keen on the AP side too then?  I'm guessing so - couple of nice pics on the left of the page at the moment that are yours and are pretty damned good!

as mentioned in shout, those are just google images of my intended flying sites this weekend

I'll post the images of the AP shots when I get home and have access to the images

Here's the stills I mentioned above, obviously at cut-down res, but you get the idea

Nice job mate.  This was from a copter yes?

[Balders]

Tricopter flown los for these pics and fpv as soon as I had finished. ;-)
