Hehe, i just might have to pick one up as well, but we'll see... Monday the King 3 comes! (Was supposed to be today, but ah well, UPS Non-Saturday delivery)....
I have been getting some time in, took some video from the helicopter using my flycamone, but it was mounted backwards until I make a better setup for it, so all you see is the tail and my ugly mug
Tonight, I'm putting a custom LED kit in my black canopy, turning on the LED blades, light strings, and hope for a little night flying... and nevermind... I just looked outside at the wind! :P
Take care all, I'll play catchup on the last three pages after some food
That's awesome you have the Flycamone. I've always liked to try and fiddle with some aerial photography and video. So cool...!
I have used my older Kodak camera before, but its quality is poor and weighs about 247 grams. I just recently got a Sony HD webbie cam, and its much smaller and thinner and only weighs a bit over 100 grams. I've tried using it with my Spektrum stuff (2.4 GHZ) and I get a "wave" of interference when I go back to watch the video. Eh...! With my Futaba 72mhz TX for my RC cars, there is no interference. So I don't know... Lol... I've tried it on the Logo 10 only so far. The Trex 500 I can try, but I'am sure its the same.... Maybe I'll construct a fiberglass mount that extends outwards towards the front of the heli, away from all components and have it stretch WAY out there. Thin, flat, and strong, or something to try... Its all fun either way messing around. I'am starting to think I enjoy that more than flying sometimes.
For your first trial run with your cam set-up, you should still post the video, I'd still like to see... Its all just a learning experience...
I love your LED stuff BTW... I've always loved LED set-ups on the heli's and planes. I've always liked the lights from the place called LiGLOW I think its called... But they were a Paypal only so I didn't go there. Its hard to find a good pure, bright, crisp, LED set-up it seems for me. I'am just to picky on how they look and perform is all. Lol... And the strobes, I like but I like them to look realistic and snapping quick on and off I guess you could say. Hard to explain I suppose...
I've had your website bookmarked now, and check it as you add stuff, but for the LED section that you just put out, my laptop pops up a small window saying it can't open it or something like that. I'll figure it out here shortly when I have more time, its probably some settings somewhere, or I need to update Internet Explorer or something. Dunno.. Computers aren't by strong point. Crashing is..........
