Re: Shooting from a helicopter advice
I got some really cool Aerial shots with the door off the chopper I was flying in. I cradled the camera in my lap and braced it against my body and like Prairieboy stated I let the helicopter do the work of panning for me. I got this one really cool shot where we had just taken off, the pilot raised the chopper straight up off the ground some then he dipped the front end down some as sped up off and upward over a body of water! It was a little scary but in the end it made for a really cool shot!
