Aerial Vdieo and Photography--with RC helicopter

looks pretty sweet!!!

how big is the heli? the camera? gyro on the cam or smoothing in post? do you have a monitor while flying?

i fly r/c mysef. not heli's, just planes. the one thing that would make me nervous is that when it comes to crashing, it's not "if", it's "when"....
 
I would guess the camera is a palmcorder of some sort judging by how the auto-iris is constantly hunting in the sample videos. We chose the HVX200 as our base camera because it has adequate manual controls, is compact and provides a great image.
 
We have hired camcopters for our forensic cases OFTEN. We've hired probably six or seven different pilots in different parts of the country.

However, we would be very interested in knowing who to call when we get forensic cases in other parts of the country. IF you want to send me some info as to the area you service we can almost certainly work with you (provided your footage is of a decent quality -- boomstrikevideo's use of an hvx200 is optimum).

Hey, Guys

Sorry for the delay in reply. Didn't realize there's some feed back about our helicam, first time user. Most of the footage are made with a mini helicopter and was shot with Digital cameras with video capability. We now are shooting with 2 helicopter that flys with Mini HDV 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 direct caputre and have had done quite a some jobs with this setup. have had done quite a few jobs with this setup. Will remove all the current videos soon and replace with HDV in a few weeks. We are currently working on another heli that will be able to carry HVX200 and 16mm film cam. We are base out of New York and do travel if you guys have projects that requires aerial clips. And it have live view and pan and tilt camera control.
