Title: Helicopter with camera and wireless
Post by: stevembe430 on March 09, 2012, 09:43:28 PM
I want to do some aerial real estate photography. I need a copter that carries a camera or video that can send me a picture or video back to me (wireless) to see  if I have a proper shot without landing the copter and checking the shot
Thanks

Do you know how to fly one?
Are you asking to buy one because I do NOT think anybody will
just lend a total stranger their helicopter?  :72-

I should clarify... this would be remote control prefferably electric. Too many resrtictions on flying a real helicopter in residential neighborhood.

There are people on here that play with RC but this is an odd place for a new poster to ask about rc.  There are web sites that focus on aerial RC photography that can probably give you some info.  As an RC helicopter pilot what I can tell you is that if you have not flown an RC helicopter before you are a lot of time and money away from photography.  RC helicopters (not talking about the wal mart type)  are the most difficult RC there is to learn.  They are also very unforgiving.  One little mistake and they are are in an unrecoverable crash.  Planes are much easier to fly and you could probably have a camera equipped slow stick in the air after a few months of practice.  A drone might be easier to fly but since I have not flown one I don't know for sure.  If all I wanted to do is take pictures I would consider a blimp.
