Thanks for the reply. The helicopter is part of a project I will be documenting, so there is no cost there. The pilot fllies tv choppers for a living and seems to really know his stuff. He will have to keep up with 6- 8 airplanes crossing the midwest and doesn’t want to attach anything on the copter (gas usage goes way up). The camera has some internal stabilization, but I don’t know how much it will help. We will be able to go up and test it before hand. I was wondering if you thought if any type of steadycam would help at all.
