Eric Austin of Helicam put together this video to show us the ins and outs of his Helicam. Eric shoots low altitude HD video anywhere in the world. Outerspace? He’s still working on that!

That’s superb, and opens up many shooting possibilities. Whether it would need permission/permit from the CAA here in the UK is another matter. I love the fact that it uses electric motors and gyros for stability. Looks beautifully made, too. Though if Zacuto decide to make one it’ll probably cost $100,000!

Thanks Mischa and Greg for your comments.
Greg – I think it takes a bit of practice, and a degree of understanding how the helicopter works. The main thing that Eric points out is – you must not crash this thing!
If you get on – let me know!!

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

You produced good suggestions right here. I completed a study on the topic and learnt virtually all peoples can agree with your blog. One of the far more dramatic measures to consider would be to alter the ceiling of your room.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you, I have just been searching for info approximately this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I have came upon so far. However, what concerning the bottom line? Are you sure in regards to the source?|What i don’t realize is if truth be told how you’re no longer really much more neatly-appreciated than you may be right now. You are very intelligent.
Thanks for the article Ross. Interesting gear, although I would like to see more shots with this thing. Perhaps the 550D would be a better fit, because of the lighter body?
Also, shame about Eric’s ‘look at my uber-cool-pretty-super-expensive-helicopter’ attitude.
