Hey everyone.
I currently have a keychain cam that records some really good video, but not quite high enough definition for what i'm looking for and i also want some still photos.
I have an idea that I know some people have done, I just can't find much info or pictures on how I should go about doing it.
Essentially what I want to do is, create a mount for a digital camera, hook up a servo and take aerial HD pictures with the press of a button.
Basically, with the SC, you could hook up a servo, so that when you use the ailerons, the servo arm would move, pressing the button on the camera to take still photos. I want to get some good shots of my town and our family lake.
I was thinking about making this mount out of balsa wood, and don't really want to have the camera pointing straight down, but more of a forwardish angle.
Anyway, does anyone have any pictures or info on a setup such as this?
Thanks all!
