Look what I made....
"What the hell is it?!", I hear you all asking. Its my first radio controled camera cradle for Kite Aerial Photography. It can pan, it can tilt, and it can fire the shutter when I tell it to, while suspended about 30m down the kite line, below one of the two parafoils I have especially for this purpose. Now I just need the right conditions, ie wind.
I'm already planning a second rig. This time big enough to carry my SLR camera aloft. It will have a video feed to the ground using a 'spy' camera to use as a kind of view finder when shooting. Also I'll add a fourth RC servo to enable me to rotate the camera from landscape to portrait from the ground. I'm pretty proud of this. I've always been better with software than hardware like this.
