Default Remote control your video cameraman!

So we've all seen the dodgy RC Model videos, shaky hands, blurred, unsteady.
Saw the video below, and although not a Jet featured in it, it works very well and even does your zooming for you too.
Seen other videos of the Soloshot2 traking drag racing cars, motorbikes etc so works at high speeds also, it rates at 80deg/sec through 360deg so quick enough for most.

I downloaded lots of Utube clips and read lots of Internet on the Soloshot2 and I got the feeling thet 75% liked it and 25% seemed to think it is way to hard to setup and time consuming. After looking at the clips planes go out of the picture and when the camera finds it again it takes to much time to see a clear picture. Does not usable indoors mean that cloudy days and such is not a good day to use it?


My first real RC anything had a tube and it never worked when I got it and then I got an Ace single Chanel and I fell in love for the first time. My last radio was a Kraft single stick and it is in a big box with another Kraft and four other radios BUT my son is a RC nut and he brings home clips for me to enjoy his crashes but in a few more months I will be able to do a bit of flying with him.


He wants to get the Soloshot2 so everyone can see much better clips but I will try to have him wait tile they have got a bit better setup. My younger brother has been flying with my son but he stopped just a few days ago waiting for his eyes to be repaired like mine were about ten years ago this is just another reason he wants to get that setup.

My son and brother were in the Marks RC Club a long tome ago and now my son and brother are in the Pomona RC club and soon I should be walking again and in the same club maybe with my old AMA numbers.


My "Korean war bride" just said it is chow time OH BTW RealFlight is great and also X-Plane but as to FS9 Golden age wings is most fun.

I have been watching this for about 6 months to see if anyone gives it a go with a fast rc jet or plane. The couple of videos I have found show it lagging behind and can't go vertical to keep up. Still not bad.

Here is one example
