Default Arial Photo Helicopter???

What RC Helos do most use for arial photos and videos that can support cams and vid cams??? Also do you use gyros to keep the images still and what kind?? And lastly, do you spot from the ground the helo or do you use onboard video to control the flight of the helo??

Thanks for All the info!!

Hi...Any micro could carry a mini cam like the Flycam or anything under the 1.5 Onz as far as I can see, however you'll have some troubles related to the rate of frames per second or resolution, many people seem to be getting good results with the "gum pack" minicam anyway. Bigger helis have more payload capability, I have read that 450 size helis easily can lift 200 g of equipment so you can mount decent cameras, Lumix seem to be a good option in this segment according to some forums.

Good luck!

Do a search, the Trex 450 , 500 i believe are the tools of choice.
