Radio Controlled Pan and Tilt Video Camera mounted in Paraglider Wing

After a few years of testing different wing mounted systems I have finally reached one of my goals - a radio controlled pan & tilt PG wing-mounted video camera system. The video was taken at Kaldfjord (Cold fjord) near Tromsoe, North Norway. The fjord lived up to it name as this flight was made in November during twilight conditions in the Arctic winter (sun below horizon) at -10C. It was also a slightly overcast day so the HD GoPro camera sensitivity was pushed to the limits.

Excellent! The pan is a little too fast for comfortable viewing at times but otherwise brilliant! Well done :-)

Thanks for the constructive comment. I completely agree. Although it was the first time there is lots of room for improvement. For smoother transitions I am going to incorporate a special servo smoothing circuit.

Best wishes

Fantastic! Love it. Can you tell me how you tie it to the wing?

Thanks
