AeriCam Remote Controlled Helicopter for Flying Your DSLR
| 26 October 2009
If you have $12000 lying around the house you can buy a fully assembled chopper able to lift up to 7 pounds of gear in the sky for Aerial Photography or Aerial Video making. The kit is cheaper, only $9000 but you have to assemble it. This is an alternative to a mast for elevated image taking.
Created by photographer Jason Lam, the aluminum 30-pound Aericam offers a 7-pound payload, allowing it to carry a digital SLR on board as large as the new Nikon D3s. The helicopter is controlled by a remote control pilot who guides the craft along with a camera operator who steers the DSLR via a live feed on a ground station.
