Aerial Photography--with RC helicopter

Joseph,

Flying RC helicopter, takes a long time to master, it's harder than flying a real chopper, but the good thing is if you own the RC chopper, so you can practice all day if you want. My suggestion is buy a t-rex 450 and learn how to setup and fly it first. Otherwise, you will definitely crash and may even injure, or kill others that you fly over. Then once you master the flying, then start strapping cheap cameras and see if you can handle the extra task. Once you are comfortable with that, then you can consider buying a Aerial Photography Heli Setup.

Here is a short clip of a car that I shot with my small copter on a windy day.

@Jascamera I agree, flying the real thing is much easier. Have you ever had an engine failure. Do you even practice autorotations?
 
I have not yet have a motor quite on me. The key is buy the best that's out there and set it up properly and it have last for many trouble free flight.

Don't go cheap. You think because you can save a few buy on a cheaper motor, or parts but you usually end paying a whole lot more. With flying craft, there's no second chance. All it take is one failure part and it's all over.
