At home sick - so i strapped a camera to an r/c plane - video

[Transition]

Took the video @ 8am this morning so things were still hazy/frosted. Nikon 3700 strapped on an electric R/C plane.

Aerial Video



P.S.
If you don't like the video i can't refund you 39 seconds of your life.

pretty cool...now you just need to do it with an actual video camera so you can have more than just small clips

Camera actually has a 512mb SD card. Can take impressive 640x480 video for 7 minutes straight @ 30fps. I just chopped the video up a bit.

Take it during takeoff and landing dude. Also is that thing mounted sideways perpendicular to the fuselage? If it's not, the pilot must've been quite drunk.

wow ... anyone else realize the potentially bad things that can be done with an RC plane ?

Oh yeah. But you'd hafta be a really skilled RC pilot to land one of those puppies silently on a sorority balcony

That's what I was going to suggest. I'd like to see a takeoff clip and a landing clip. Or buzz the ground real low or something more than scenery

Probably, just can't be gas powered. Those things are LOUD.

"Look, that plane is heading straight towards that windmill!!!"

*klops*

"Damn, did you see how that propeller came off. That plane is wasted!!!"

 

[FoBoT]

plane can go farther then my eyes can see. receiver/transmitter has a range of 1 mile. I was probably around 800ft in those videos.
