Raptor 60 Helicopter Aerial Video Test 1 (3 min 4 sec)

Using a Sondy Handycam DVD-R camcorder.....

I've done a lot of aerial video using planes, but not helicopters.....this is more fun!!!

That of course had its rouph spots but also its great spots too. I think you will do well with this with practice. Just having a Raptor 60 with an image so smooth is impressive.

Great to see the mount, Was it se to pan or tilt the camera or was it fixed. How is the mount isolated, with rubb bands? It looks like something I would really like to accomplish.

Camera is fixed. It can be tilted up and down only, but I don't have it set up to do that remotely.

The helicopter has foam pads around the landing gear, and then bungie cord is used to tie it to the camera mount. The camera weighs 112 ounces (7 pounds) and it has image stabilization built in, so that helps dampen the vibration also.

Nice house and field... ok when can we come visit?

Is that a home made camera mount or purchase it from someone else? I want a camera mount for my heli but I do not want to pay too much for one so I'm interested on making my own. The problem is, I'm not a builder and I have no idea what parts I will need or where I can buy them from. I have been searching for thread like a "how-to" build one but nothing.
I'm a noob on this subject so I can't compare it to anything else out there but... NICE job!!!
