Default big helicopter for camera rig

I would like to get a helicopter for a semipro video rig.
And i thought it would be best to get one as big as possible.
Because of stability and lifting capacity.
So which one would be the biggest and best
I plan on builing my own camera rig.
And i only want stability not competition performance.
Just plain old solid flight.

At least you need a 60 heli,90 YAMAHA is better.
From you words it seems that you did not ever fly a heli, you'd better buy a 30 heli first to learn how to control a heli.

Any 60 sized helli will do just fine for a video rig. The main thing is are you planning on building it yourself? There are several setup's out there (The Bergen Observer comes to mind) that you can buy and are purpose built for cameras and will cost you a WHOLE lot less than the time to develope and test out your own setup.

Default Camera rig

Get the JR Voyager GS from AirFoil heliCam

G-23 power and 800 mm blades LOTS of lift. Mine is lifting a Sony 3CCD VX-2000 camera with no problems.

John Ohnemus, the owner is a very knowledgeable guy when it comes to camera set-ups.
