Been busy with my "other" job. :)

I don't have anything with a mount flying at the moment. My son took the Logo 10 and my Mini-Titan down with him in San Diego. In fact, the only thing I have in a flyable condition is an eRaptors, which I've now stretched to run 700s, which I'm using as a test bed for Z70A testing, with 15s LiPo and 18s a123 setups. I had thought the new Logo 500s would've been out by now. I've got two coming, one that will be setup for 3D, and one to use with my 360 PanCam mount, A640 and SD1.

That is a great idea. Reminds me of my guitar playing days. Kick in a little delay, distortion....Rock and roll!! :smokin:

I was a bass player, so I didn't have foot switch. :)

Pretty cool!

I saw a guy last year doing aerial pic (jumping in parachute) using a "mouth" switch to trigger the shutter of his camera installed on his helmet.

Now, for RC, I can easily imagine a system using pedal switchs to tilt and a mouth switch to activate the shutter. It's just difficult to discuss with someone at the same time... without accepting some bad shots :lol:

Cheers,

Hi Marty,

How's it going? I remember talking to you a while back on the LogoMania forums. You inspired me to stretch my Logo 20. You still shooting with yours?

I think if you had a TX in your hands, pedals at your feet, and wires sticking out of your mouth, you would either get lots of questions...or people running away scared! A cool shot would be an aerial self portrait!

I like Hogster's idea of putting a momentary trigger button on the back of the TX in a comfortable spot to hit with your pinky...or whatever finger you like. A pedal for tilt would probably work for me. I have trouble grabbing the left slider sometimes.

Hi bladebreaker,

Glad to see you again :wink: I still use my logo24 for photography. Wonderful heli this little Bionic.

Yeah, the pedals switchs can be great for releasing some fingers but for me that won't work cause I often walk (change my position) while I fly and it would be a little bit tricky to move the pedals at the same time. Actually use a slider on my radio for tilting and the trainer switch to activate the camera. For bigger job, I hire a cameraman. :D

Cheers,

Martin
