Phil's RC aerial photography

My aerial platform is based around an electric R/C helicopter, under which, an 8.0 Megapixel digital camera is suspended. Using this system, pictures can be taken from any point in the sky, giving the customer total freedom of how their subject is portrayed.

To assist in framing your photo, a new addition to the camera mount, the Swann 2.4GHz wireless camera will send a realtime videolink to a screen, where the image that will taken can be viewed. Adjustments to the helicopters position can then be made, to ensure you get the right shot.
