camera ship

[Evan]

heres my first attempt at a a camera ship. figured what the heck ill build it around my droin phone and later adapt it to a difrent camera or recorder.

Looks like that will work pretty good.

[r/c basher]

Looks pretty cool, will the nitro hurt it at all?

[Evan]

thanks guys.

i dont think the nitro will hurt it

ok so my vids a shaky, i tore the heli down last night greased the thrust bearings in the head and tail and swapped out the black dampners for the softer grey ones. also gvave all the other bearings on the bird a drop of scorpion bearing oil. i did not do the one way bearing.

othere then the one way what else should i be looking at. the bird appears smooth tail holds tight no wagging but ounce the camers on it just shakes to much for the camera to be clear.

im working on a new camera mount actualy the 3rd mount now, but id still like the bird to be smoother, grey dampners may help some, blades are already tracking perfect or atleast look perfect to me. motor is tuned atleast decent and rpms up up there. tail is smooth. am i over looking something? is it normaly hard to get a camera to be clear on nitro bird.

Vibration is going to make any camera, without stabilization, like they use on the full sized helis, shakey. I'm fairly sure I've seen something for stabilization on youtube.

I found some cable antivibe mounts.

Got some wresting Matt o might try first

I found when ever you mount a camera you need to get it in the center plane of the main shaft that is where you will pick up the least vibration.Give it a try it works fine for both my helies

[Evan]

ill give it a try, though i was kinda holding ot forward to stay away from the exhaust.


i looked at go pro hero today and man those cameras are tiny
