Raptor 30 Digital Camera Set-Up WITH PICS!
Well here is my Raptor 30 with the custom mount on the front. I made it out of lite-ply just fabricated by me to fit my Nikon CoolPix L4 Camera.
It's nothing much but it works. I cover it with some aluminum for some added "protection"...well actually that wood just doesn't cut it for looks.
Well, I first started taking just video. I didn't have anything to mount a servo on to press the shutter to take actual pictures. Eventually I made the mount for a servo on a flat piece of lite-ply and it's just on top....strapped down with 2 zip-ties.
Everything is held on the helicopter with 4 zip-ties (I know, I know but it works for now!) through 4 holes in the undercarriage of the helicopter (like you see in the picture) and 4 holes in the camera "case."
Well also included is the one picture (one of my favorites) of the surrounding neighborhood that I took.
Enjoy...Any comments appreciated!
