Decided to mock up a sample pan tilt for the Wireless camera going on the Esmart... here is some pics and will also post some video from camera view.
Sorry camera aint all that hot in low light conditions... but you get the picture.. This is controlled via a Radio.

LOL...
Thats why you ahve a spotter.... again this rig is just for taking onboard video, not for FPV... My FPV will have fixed camera mount...
Of coz i could always get head tracking unit and fly it that way in FPV as well ;) but thats later on.
right now the rig you see will eventually go onto my Belt CP or EXI for aerial photography / video, where the guy on the ground will have downlink video and control camera angle from his own radio while i fly about where he wants me to go....
As for the 2 radio :) if it were only me, its a simple mod you can do and many people have done it, simply get 9 channel radio and relocate 2 dial pots to the sides (one on each side) and put lever arms on them so you can use your index finger to move them up or down for pan/tilt.

here is a video of Co-Pilot in action.
$139 bucks you cant beat that and thats with the 9 channel reciever that drives the system.
