Home Made AV Canopy For the Quad Copter

[HPIguy]

This is my idea for a rigid platform to mount my key chain camera right side up so I don't have to flip it during editing, putting the time stamp upside down. My guess about the reliefs in the corners worked just right for blade clearance. I'll have it finished up by tomorrows flight time. I'll get you guys some on board video tomorrow too.

This is the bottom of a Rubbermaid kitchen container BTW

Cam velcros to the top, still deciding on mounting the canopy between a couple of different ideas.

Nice! That looks like it fits perfect.

You should have used Tupper Ware instead of Rubbermaid.

I only run the time stamp for about 5 seconds with the lens covered prior to a new shoot on another day. No need to keep it there.

^^LOL

Thanks fellas, I did a test flight last night, still flies great, and my electronics are nice and fresh Rolex, I'm not aware of a way to disable the time stamp on the key chain cameras. Do you know of a procedure on how to do so? I'd greatly appreciate it.

EDIT: I can't wait to try out my camera rig later today, I'm so pumped about this thing!
