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. (more…)

My timing is great as ever! I buy the POV1 and a month later the update comes out…

That said, i cant see much difference apart from the red camera and “better mounting solutions”?
