I'm still very much a heli-noob but that didn't stop me from trying a (pretty stupid) idea this past summer...

Backyard Helicopter with Pendulum Camera System

haha
too funny
nice idea
you should try to tape it to the canopy
btw nice video editing
render time?

On my first attempts, I velcro'd it to the canopy, but the heli electronics were causing a *lot* of video noise. I figured I needed to separate it from the bird by a good margin. My first pendulum was 3 feet - now that one was a handful to fly!

Not sure what the render time was - I usually leave the computer when rendering. I'm still waiting on delivery of a higher end computer that will handle HD.

Thanks for the comment!

Instead Of one string put two or three
See where I'm going with this?

The pendulum "string" is a carbon tube constrained from rotating (so this effectively already has two strings).

But yes, a third might help!

Currently working on a more interesting multi-HK-cam system for my new B300X. Stay tuned...
