  • This is called the "strobe effect" in camera talk. Basically the videocamera is taking one picture at the speed it takes for a prop blade to make a full rotation. The guy who took this shot probably did it deliberately by tweaking his camera to match the speed of the prop.

    A more common example of this is the tires on a moving car. Try it for yourself - it's a cool sight to look at.

  • The rotors are spinning at 25 rotations a second, same as the 25fps video rate. Clever though...

  • Oh for f**k sake, would the buffoons who continue to post these ludicrous clips just bugger off. Naming a clip fraudulently and/or maliciously, to obtain viewers numbers should have their clip deleted. I am sick and tired of numpties, like this poster, who continue to post tripe and waste everyone's time...

    Oh! to "killerhamster104" the poster of this clip, YOU DID KNOW HOW IT WAS DONE!!!!

  • It's the fps of the camera, so it seems to be stopped, but the camera is only snapping pictures fast enough to get the blades in one position

  • @sparten771 250 rotations.

  • Move

  • Dudes it's an effect when you video record helicopters. It's propellers goes backwards or don't ,ove

  • @Ecrofgee *correction: Mil (not to be confused with mig) MI-24 Hind

  • @Ecrofgee

    It never occurred to me this was done by using a signal from the aircraft itself to study the behaviour of the rota.

  • That sir, is what we call a Chuck Norris Choppter'. Or, a (CNC).

  • @SharksWithLegs surely 1/5th of a rotation?

  • @Ecrofgee I was alway amazed by this video, that the camera somehow manged to keep the rotors seeming stationary. I am even more amazed now I know it was done.
