Yep...you might add "How is this happening..I use Futaba?"

" AND I DON'T KNOW WHYYYYY!?!?"

" AND I DON'T KNOW WHYYYYY!?!?"

LMAO.....good one

So true...wouldn't it be ironic that the vary thing that brought your plane down did an excellent job filming it...

'Bout fell over laughing when I read this.

Finally had a day of nice weather to go out and fly and play with the soloshot. After setting everything up I attached the tag to the landing gear of my park zone beaver. The soloshot tracked and kept the airplane centered in the frame thru out the flight. It's pretty cool to watch it pan and tilt while tracking the airplane. Next I attached the tag to the landing gear on my 40 percent extra, had the same results as with the beaver. When I played back the video I found that there were 309 one or two second videos, figured out the the vibration from the landing gear was causing the camera to go from record to standby. There are two ways to start and stop the camera recording, one is to press the plus button on the tag or tap the top of the tag three times. I am hoping to go tomorrow and experiment with it more.

Hmm....very interesting. Maybe a piece of foam between the "tag" and the landing gear?

I did try putting some foam but that did not help.......next time I am going to mount it on top of the turtle deck.

Tried out the soloshot2 on a 51"slick, Have to work on the camera settings.

Very cool. I started coaching my son in baseball a few years ago and the video recording stopped. The wife won't bother. I could use this to record the kids and plane flying.

I'm about ready to order one of these.

My understanding is that the Solo Shot is just a device that sits on a tripod to which you attach a camera of your choice. The device follows an object to which it is linked, in this case a plane. How does it know when to zoom in and out and how does it make the camera do that. Is there a mechanical zoom attachment?
