Default RE: the prefect platform for aerial photography

Dean,

Is having the prop in the video a problem if I mount it on the top of the wing? Or, it is strongly preferable to mount it out on the wing or somewhere else where the prop won't be in the video?

-Ed
Its a matter of preference. I perfer not to have the prop in the video, bit its cool either way I mount my cameras out on my wings so as not to have a prop, engine or anything blocking the view. If you do mount out on the wing, make sure you counter balance the camera with something on the other wingtip. If its a heavy video camera, dont put it all the way out on the wingtip, just far enough to get the prop out of the picture. That way you will not need as much counterweight on the other wingtip.
