So you are saying you have to compensate for roll from the ground?? That doesn't make any sense, you would have to pick a direction to point and only shoot from that direction?

"Nice review on the helicamsolutions mount. It is way better than the other one offered & much more affordable not to mention better performance & reliability to say the least. That's where I'd put my $$$."

cowboy, what is your basis for this statement? You state no facts or show any proof, you just offer the logic of a eight year old schoolboy. Do you even own one of the mentioned mounts?

Yea, I believe that it has an adjustment for roll, it is called Photoshop.

Look in my gallery you can clearly see several shots where the helicopter is not even close to level and the camera is dead level. I hovered in front of the camera and rocked the helicopter back and forth. I don't believe that you will find this feature on many competitors products.

This feature willl pay for it's self time and time again. I now find that ninety percent of the pictures that I shoot are dead level, even in wind.

I do not currently use any editing to correct for my pictures, from camera to computer.

Please, keep in mind the M1P is , I believe $499, but that is with servos ready to fly, it has pan & tilt, as well as a self centering horizon. A three axis system compared to a two axis mount.

Apples to apples, If I only had $399. to spend on a system, I would lean toward the Airfoil system, as I can pan the camera with the helicopter, and control the tilt of the platform to cover any perspective that I desire, all the time the horizon stays level.

The other system/s might have pan &tilt, and includes tilt for the same price, but at the expense of the "roll" feature.

Another advantage of moving the helicopter instead of the mount is you no longer have to worry about the landing gear getting in the picture.




The airfoil mount above is shown without the pan upgrade.
