what else do I need?

Once I have the helicopter, radio, camera mount, and the camera, what else do I need to have in order to do aerial photography?

Thanks

downlink & monitor/ground station would be helpful.

[miami6]

are you using a front mount gasser or electric ?

one Gy 401 9254 for the heli and possibly depending if you wnat a stabilized gimbal setup more gy 401 and maybe a vison lock setup

extra servos for the Gimbal for pan tilt yaw and shutter

Rca cables to go from the down link to the camera

battery system to power the down link and ground station a charger that will charge up al the batteries heli/radio/ monitors etc..


Some memory cards 1 gig are fine type depends on your camera

there is a book out there on aerial photography using differnt platforms that might be something you want to look at getting also

what about this Spartan thing I keep on hearing about? Is it an electronic stabilizer for the heli? Is that optional or mandatory?

Thanks

Not mandatory but highly desirable!
