Title: Camera mount for EasyStar
Post by: SunLikeStar on November 28, 2010, 07:18:46 PM
Made a camera mount for EasyStar out of scrap coro. This is for my sony cybershot WX1 camera. Many more improvements are pending, like a velcro strap and a servo for the trigger. Made a test run today. every thing went fine but my stock easystar was strugling with the extra weight. but thats ok as i am upgrading to a brushless this week.
Watch in HD  :)

Wow dude, this is awesome....I have read few blogs of people mounting cams on their UAV - reaper / predator models in US. These models come with a camera bay - preinstalled. I have also seen the picture quality of their models, let me tell you, your stills are hell lot better and stable compared to their pics.

Amazing job done.... {:)}  {:)}  {:)}  {:)}  {:)}
