Default Complete Setup

Here is what my entire setup consists of at present. I will get photos of it all together in the next couple of days.


X-Cell Spectra-G Heli, TRM231 Motor, Complete V Blade setup, all the top of the line electronics.

Heli Cam Solutions Pro 60 mount with Pan & Tilt

Tiny Wireless Level 2 Transmitter and Receiver for the downlink, allows me to take A/V from the camera and transmit it to the Ground.

12v 7.1 inch LCD Screen with Sound.

Minolta DiMage 7i for Stills

Sony DCR-HC30 Mini DV Camera for Video..

This by far is the best setup I have put together yet. The downlink from tinywireless.com was Great and at only $60 it smokes everyone else by far. It has a 1500' range which is more than I should ever need doing helis !

I'll post the pictures of the setup real soon !

Craig

I'll be truthful I dont know what the freq on the downlink is, I think its a 1.2 ghz but I would have to look. Its the Lvl 2 system from tinywireless.com and so far so good, works great with no static.

How are you liking the Pro 60 mount? What is it like to land with it and how are your shots turning out?

I love the pro 60 mount, its light and does a good job isolating the camera from the airframe. No vibrations at all. Landing is no problem and the shots are Great,check out my videos in the Video forum.

Thanks Craig

Isolation would be great. My buddy and I are going in on helicams this summer and are patiently(hah!) awaiting the Pro 60-3X which should be here this week. They look great and have gotten many rave reviews.

We got a bit of helicam fever waiting for choppers and camera mounts so we rigged something simple up for about $10, vibration city but still fun. We're going to tear his Freya down this weekend and rebalance everything we can and try it with the Pro 60-3X mount hopefully.

Thanks for posting your vids!
