Paul Basagotia’s back yard (yes really) sessions filmed in HD from a remote control helicopter!

Trent Palmer is using the Canon 7D D-SLR with a sigma 10-20mm @ 20mm on a Trex 700e FBL heli with a Photoship One camera mount).

Very cool and I expect to see this method used a fair bit more in HD films.

“Went out and shot a little dirt jumping with Paul Basagoitia at his property, day and a half of shooting gave some great shots. Definitely plan on heading out again sometime soon.

Big thanks to Errol Kerr for operating the camera mount on the heli and Paul for trusting me to not cut his head off!”

Before this Trent Palmer did some experimenting on an AM trip – here is the video:

Here is what the heli looks like:
