9100 - looking down on the wobbly world.mp4

Finally, a few minutes of terrible aerial photography from the infamous Double Horse 9100 helicopter. The camera is one of those tiny keychain cams that sell on eBay for less than US$10. It was attached to the 9100 with a carefully calibrated lump of BluTack which seems to do the job OK. I've decided that the results are pretty crappy for two reasons. One, the chopper loses most of it's manouverability with the extra weight and two, it shakes the image way too much. You might notice at around the 16 second mark the chopper lost contact with the transmitter for a brief time.
There you go folks. I'll keep playing with it.

Actually it makes it better if you're after speed. The camera weighs 15grams and when mounted towards the front gives a handy forward bias. If it's mounted under the main shaft it tends to dampen any forwards movement.

Not too bad! I wouldn't have expected more!
