Revoflite Helicam – Thailand, Chiang Mai

Martin — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 18:05:08 +0000

This movie is filmed by the Polish Roveflite team. Most of the shots are taken at Royal Park Rajapruek in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The heli can be mounted almost with every camera, as long as it doesn’t exceed the 5 kilo amount which the helicam can carry. One of the cameras used in this movie is the Canon EOS 5D. The heli uses a gyroscope so the images are not affected by the vibrations of the flight. There are 2 pilots involved: one person who remote controls the helicopter and one person filming. The maximum speed of the helicopter is aprox. 100kph.

Update: Apparently they locked the video..
