Aerial Photography and Video from RC Aircraft

Aerial Still Photography  2004   2005   2006   2007   2008   2009   2010   2011   2012   2013

This section shows the cameras I have used for aerial photography and the electronics I have made to remotely trigger the shutters on still digital cameras.  The price you can pay for a digital camera runs from $11 to hundreds of $.  There are a few examples of those photos shown at the top of this page to whet your appetite, with links to many more of the aerial photos I have taken at various spots around the world. 

There are two main ways to trip the shutter on a camera; electronically and with a servo.  The electronic path with a digital switch is much cleaner in setup, plus no extra weight is required for the servo.  The best switch setup I have found is the CamMan, and I have installed it in several cameras.  I also have a custom switch very similar to the CamMan using the same programmable integrated circuit (PIC), a 12C508.   My source code and executable for that PIC switch is available for free on this webpage.  I cover all the cameras I have used or hacked, with tips on their use and detailed photos of exactly where to solder and where to get the software you will need.

Aerial Photography & Video - Aircraft and Ground Equipment

This section shows the aircraft and ground equipment that I have used over the years to capture photos and video. 

	Klingberg Wing x2 : This was my first large flying wing, which I built in 1990. It was 11' across and flew for a long time on an OS 61 engine. I converted it to electric and flew it that way, both tractor and pusher. I mounted my first digital camera into this wing in 2000.  It was an Olympus D450, with a servo to close the shutter.  The images were not very good, so it only flew a couple times like this. Olympus D450 Cost :  $250, 1.3 megapixel, 1280 x 1024, memory: Smartmedia 8MB to 128MB
	Gentle Lady : Kit built, modified wing and empennage.  I added dual flaps / speed-brakes to each wing and replaced the stock tail with a removable full-flying horizontal stabilizer.  Everything came apart to fit into a box as checked luggage on commercial flights.  This carried the Aiptek Pencam SD.  Speed 400, 3:1 planetary gearbox, 11x6 folding prop, 15 amp ESC, five channels [ rudder(1), elevator(1), flaps(2), camera shutter, throttle (ESC)]
	Astro Challenger : Kit built wing and empanage, body from scratch. This carried the Aiptek Pencam SD.  Speed 400, 3:1 planetary gearbox, 11x6 folding prop, 15 amp ESC, four channels [ rudder(1), elevator(1), camera shutter, throttle (ESC)]
	Camera Plane #1 : The original fuselage was thrown away, but the wings and tail lived on in the improved Camera Plane #2.  This carried the HP E317 camera. The two elerudders were secured by nylon screws and were removable for travel.  20x40 brushless inrunner, 6:1 gearbox, 18 amp ESC, four channels [elerudders(2), throttle(ESC), shutter]
	Camera Plane #2: I took the wing, empennage, motor, and speed control from my original camera plane #1 above and built this new version.  It used twin booms so it had a much stiffer tail assembly, and it had room for a Sony Bloggie HD digital video camera looking out the nose, and the HP E317 digital still camera looking out either side under the wing.  The whole thing came apart into small pieces to fit in small box for traveling, and the full foam fuselage protected the camera much better than camera plane #1. Four channels [ elerudder(2), throttle(ESC), shutter]
	Camera Wing #1: Made from a wing set for Great Planes Slinger Flying Wing ARF.  This carried the HP E317 camera, which could be mounted looking down or forward.  EPP center section added to hold camera, battery, motor, ESC, and receiver. Originally powered by Himax inrunner and gearbox.  Later converted to a 450 outrunner and 40 amp ESC for NightWing version, four channels [elevons(2), throttle(ESC), shutter]
	Camera Wing #2: Almost the same design as Camera Wing #1, but the HP E317 camera looked to the side instead of ahead or down.  Made from a second wing set for a Great Planes Slinger Flying Wing ARF.  EPP center section added to hold camera, battery, motor, ESC, and receiver. I took both camera wings with me all over the US in 2009, on an extended work trip and vacation for 10 weeks and over 12,000 miles of driving.  The best aerial photos from that trip are here at RC Groups.  Originally powered by Himax inrunner and gearbox.  Later converted to a 450 outrunner and 40 amp ESC for NightWing version,  four channels [elevons(2), throttle(ESC), shutter]
	F-27 Stryker : EPP foam, The originally carried the Aiptek Pencam SD, with the camera looking out the side of the nose.  I later installed a Cylops camera/DVR, battery voltage OSD, and 5.8 Ghz video downlink in the nose, but have taken that FPV equipment out as the video was too shaky in this light plane.  I will fly this plane just about anywhere, since it is almost indestructible.  2410-09 outrunner and 18 amp ESC, four channels [ stabilizer on/off, elevons(2 servo), throttle (ESC) ]
	Blue & Pink Wings : two meter wingspan, 480 outrunner, 40 amp ESC, FPV and mounts for GoPro-type cameras.  These flying wings are made from blue and pink fan-foldfoam.  They have 2 meter wingspans and the main strength comes from carbon fiber inlays on the foam spars and cross bracing.  Photos of the construction are here, here, and here.
	Night Wings w/ Camera :  Camera Wings #1 and #2 from above both have new center sections, and are covered with LEDs for night flight.  In addition to the LEDs, Night Wing #1 has a mount to hold a GoPro, and Night Wing #2 has an internal compartment to hold a Sony Bloggie HD video camera.
	5 Foot Wingspan FPV Pink Travel Wing FPV - I built this wing for traveling, using the same separating wing sections as the 6' travel wing, but the overall span is only 5 feet to allow it to fit in smaller luggage.  Power comes from a 450 outruner and 50A ESC.  Control is through a Lemon 7ch DSMX stabilized receiver + Lemon satellite receiver, and the FPV section has had various 5.8 GHz video transmitters and cameras, including an Eachine Racer 250 600mW 5.8GHz video transmitter with built-in voltage & timer OSD, Runcam Split 2 HD camera + DVR, and an LC filter for cleaner video.
	Nano Talon FPV - EPP foam fuselage.  I bought the airframe at the Lebanon PA swap meet in 2019.  Like the larger Talon which I bought in 2018, the Nano version had most of the electronics already in place.  I added a receiver and FPV equipment, and cleaned up the linkage to the elerudders for sharper control, as the stock connections have a lot of slop.  This planes flies very well, and comes apart into small pieces that easily fit into luggage to take on trips.  It snaps together and can be assembled to fly in less than a minute.  This plane is tiny and disappears quickly when flying line of sight, so it is a good thing it is made for FPV.  Lemon 7ch DSMX stabilized receiver + Lemon satellite receiver, AKK X2 ultimate 5.8GHz video transmitter, LC filter, OSD for battery voltage, Runcam Split Mini, 30A ESC, five channels [ left elerudder (1 servo), right elerudder (1 servo), ailerons (1 servo), throttle (ESC), stabilizer on/off ]
