Description

It has been a while since I was at Renderosity. I am alive and kicking, hopefully.... and will be a bit more active in the future. MY NEW PROJECT: OCTACOPTER is a helicopter with eight motors. I am building one with heavy lift capasity. It lifts a DSLR with ease. Question is if I dare to put my Nikon in the air. Also got a new state of the art flight controller. Hope to get it in the air in a month or so. Lots of work has to be done. Soddering all the wires and finetuning the controller.

Welcome back mate...'Little Nellie's' big brother :-) Looks awsome, though I can see strapping your Nikon to this will be a nervous moment..the results should be spectacular.Will be watching and waiting with interest...good luck..

A great5 move! Life is too short to worry. If it crashes you already lose a bit of money, so why not risk a camera? That said, it shouldn't be too hard (or too heavy) to make a protective case shell around most of the camera just using styrofoam.
