Very nice. Reminds me of the stories from the early days of flight, where a biplane would fly over, and then a week later, a door-to-door salesman would come by to sell you the picture.Any idea what your maximum altitude was?
Andrew,Can you share the script you used to shoot video, please? Also, how did you initiate the video script? Can you do this remotely?
This aerial video was recorded above West Dover, Nova Scotia at sunset on September 3, 2012 using an EasyStar model airplane and a Canon Powershot SD780IS camera with CHDK.
Makes me ashamed about my Easystar still sitting in pieces. Spent my limited flying time on my microhelicopter - no way that thing is going to lift a P&S camera !
Your microhelicopter comment reminds me of an experiment I did with a Walkera Twister Coaxial model helicopter. After I had done everything I could think of with the tiny heicopter I wanted to see what would happen if I powered the helicopter off a higher voltage battery.I strapped a 3S 500mAh LiPo battery to the helicopter and the helicopter's brushed motor had just enough output that it could (briefly) lift a Canon Powershot camera. The only downside was the recorded video was quite shakey due to the rigid mounting of the camera to the helicopter fuselage. I'm sure the helicopter would have been able to hoover longer with the camera if it had a brushless motor.
