RC helicopters may be great toys, but they also have an artistic application. For example, you can equip an RC helicopter with a wireless camera and use it to create startling aerial photography.
It’s quite common to have people come round from door to door selling prints of pictures taken of your house from the air, and they’re usually done from a light aircraft or an RC helicopter.
To get the best photos with a RC helicopter you should use a high res digital camera, but that’s not always possible and can be expensive. You could also use a video camera. Video cameras are great to use in conjunction with radio controlled helicopters because you can get incredible footage that you would otherwise be unable to get.
If you do use a video camera to get images with your RC helicopter, you can still create still photos by selecting the frame that you want from the video using a video editing program on your computer.
If you’re looking to take some incredible aerial photographs, use a radio control helicopter.
