RE: Gyro image stabilization
trireme:
With a helicopter you need to get rid of as much vibration as possible by balancing your blades and rotating Assembly.
mount the camera pan tilt setup to rubber mounts as is done with gas engines on fix wing aircraft.
You can use a video stabilization software like study hand to get rid of the rest of the bumps.
Gyro stabilization is a real pain and will cost upward of $1,000.00 or more to do it rite.
I would try the cheap stuff first before going on that path.
In the end I think you will find out why a lot of us have gone back to the big fixed wings for video work.

RE: Gyro image stabilization
I am interested in doing it right. I would like to capture video that need no modification. I notice that companies like coptervision use a globe mount that looks like a fullsize helicopter camera stabilizer, would like to build something to do that. If possible.
Could it be done with two GY401's?
The FMA copilot is to adjust for horizon line, I need a gyro to compensate for major vibrations.
