I know there are a couple of other mini owners on that site. Any other rc aircraft guru here?

I have yet to try to put a camera on one of my planes.

 

I've got several wireless cams that I had planned to mount on one of my Park Flyers. I've been flying RC on and off since I was a little kid--having flown airplanes and helis--both electric and nitro, and RC Cars and Motorcycles.

That's a sweet picture. I envision one of these days taking one of my slow flyers and doing a pass over a whole line of MINIs.

Btw, I fixed your link--it was input incorrectly.

I just browsed that forum, and saw this pic. OMG, he mounted a Canon 20D in an airplane? The results are beautiful, but that's not a light camera, and at $1,500 to $2,000 is a pretty hefty investment if he's not doing it professionally.

 

WOW. That is a stunning photo. I agree that it's quite a leap of faith to entrust such a pricy camera to such an endeavor, but it sure looks like it paid off!
