Thanks for the comments.

I'm using a slightly modified Slow Stick running a Hacker A20-22L, Phoenix 35, APC 10x5e and a 3S 2200 lipo.

The camera is a Canon SD880IS.

Here it is...minus the trigger.

Safety Hawk,

I have a similar camera, the weight is 5.5 oz.

I have taken short aerial videos with mine, but not pictures.

Your pictures are remarkable!, of much better quality than my videos.

Could you describe the shutter for me?

Regards!

I don't know how well I can describe it, so here's a picture. I have the servo setup on my trainer switch on my radio, and just pull it when I want to take a pic.

That's awesome. The things we can come up with when there's just nothing out there that works right. I like that setup.

Thanks.....I'm getting ready to start on a new AP airframe. Something a little bigger that doesn't bounce around quite as much in the breeze.
