Hi there,

I have a Trex700E and I want to mount a camera on it, will the co-pilot be good enough on it for taking pictures/shooting video??

Thank you
Elad.

Any platform you choose will only assist in holding the helicopter level or if you choose a GPS system.. keep it locked in position.

The quality of your video and/or pictures will solely depend on the amount of vibration your helicopter makes during flight.

Are there any systems with GPS in a reasonable price?

nightflyr · 09-27-2011, 05:33 AM

Do you consider $1,300.00 - $1,500.00 USD reasonable?

wonderd · 09-27-2011, 06:13 AM

nooooooo!

more then a few hundreds is not reasonable for me..

Make your life easy...

Strap a inexpensive camcorder on to your rig test fly it and see how clean the video comes out of the camera..

If it looks like this

Your only worry is deciding on a stabilization platform
