Need help setting up a slow stick for photos
I think the whole photography thing is pretty cool. The only thing is that I can't figure out a good way to activate the shutter. I know the most common way is to use a servo but I need help with the servo/camera placement to make it all work. I was lookingat the Aitek (sp?) 1.3, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just put an arm on the servo, then tape the servo on the camera so the arm is over the shutter button. Plug the servo into a free channel on the receiver. When you move the stick or switch that runs that channel on the transmitter, the arm will push the button. That's the basic idea, anyway.

That would work fine if the camera was mounted to the front but how do they do it when the camera is mounted to the side?
