How are you able to mount the camera so it doesn't vibrate. I'm surprised you got 7 minutes out of it with the 3d flying and the added weight of the camera. What is it a4100miliamp battery? Oh yea and since your flying it in parks and stuff have you ever had trouble with a police thinking that it might be unsafe.
what would happen if you got the same type of battery and wired it to the other one, would it fly longer or would it drain them both and still fly for around 7min? :)
You would get longer flight time, but not double, due to the added weight. Maybe another 60-75%. But they wouldn't fit well on this particular model, and aerobatic performance would suffer drastically...
No RF link, it's just a point and shoot 5.2MP digital camera (nikon Coolpix L3, I got it at Best Buy) strapped on the side of the heli, put in video mode... The full size video is 640x480 at 30 frames per second which took up over 400MB on the 1GB secure digital card. :)
Several things help in the video shoothness: As you say the electric motor has less vibration than a nitro or gas engine. Also a fairly high headspeed of 2100RPM smooths things out. And I somewhat 'soft' mounted the camera so that the mount can flex a bit and absorb some of the vibes. The heli does have a gyro but it's for preventing unwanted tail piroetting. It's solid state so it has no effect on vibration or stability, other than helping control the tail rotor pitch servo
Hyperion Litestorm VX 4350mAh, 1ea 6S and 1ea 4S in series. Also I just got a set of Flightpower EVO 20 3700mAh 5S packs and it flys quite well on those also.
Very entertaining video indeed, no video abberation present (vibration in the picture),obviously the T-Rex is a very stable camera platform!! Very high rating!!!
Great Video... And fly

the electric motor helps with the video. No engine vibs.
Great footage!
I have a couple heli flight vids but they suck and I am a newbie pilot.

Videos like this are usually much better if you do a slow forward flight.

Well, with a properly balanced head, even my CP Pro is stable enough to do that. I just don't trust my flying skills. =P
