dave,
when you have the screen on your monitor that you want to capture, hit control-print screen
then open any generic image editor like Microsoft Paint and hit control-V to paste it.
save it as a jpeg image, then check your work by opeing the jpeg in a picture editor like picassa. you may have to crop the image to remove large white areas around the screen capture.
save again and it's ready to be posted online.
give it a shot, it's pretty easy.

shaun,
once you have numbers that will keep your camera mount from malfunctioning, it's just a matter of flying and then viewing video to see how to adjust the settings. fly, adjust. fly, adjust. there really isn't any other way to do it since the settings depend on your machine, your camera and mount, how you fly, etc.
good luck,
bart

Do you have any spare channels?
What radio are you on?
If you have a spare channel and your radio has a trim tab or a rotary knob than you can assign the roll to that channel and trim/rotor knob.
Most of the time

I have Graupner MX22 which is basically the same as the JR but it has 12 channels. You can set a channel in switches and allocate it to one of the little black trim buttons with the + & - . assign one of these to a channel, in MKtools assign a poti to that channel then in roll assign the servo control to that poti ..
Had first flight with av200 camera mount. went well. Canon 7D is very heavy. I have been flying with gopro and a small sony it will take time to get comfortable with the Canon. Mount works well not impressed with the way the potimeter is secured to frame comes loose alot. Must be careful to make sure screws on camera base plate are very tight. There should be 2 per side. all in all happy with results. Shaun

I am sure one of the guys using the same radio as you can talk you through it.. It is really simple on the Graupner which is a JR. Its defiantly worth doing so you can get your base plate spot on.
At least you have it working which is good.. Learning to fly with the extra weight will take a bit of time but you get used to it. you may want to set your throttle curve up. On the Graupner its under channel 1 curve.
I'm having another problem with the pro200 mount, the nut to hold the roll pot gets loose. The hole that the pot shaft goes through the frame is quite a bit larger than the shaft. When I try to tighten it it loosens after a few flights. The last flight could have been a crash but luckily I had the gopro on and not the 7d. anyone else had this problem and any solutions? thanks Shaun

shaun,
i might be completely wrong but it looks like the hole is oversized to allow you to adjust the gear mesh. I'd cut a piece of 1/16" plywood to fit in that area and drill a hole to match the diameter of the roll pot. use a couple of really small dabs of epoxy to hold the plywood (not so much that it'll never come out but enough to keep it from shifting when it's assembled) and then assemble everything before the glue sets. the plywood will hold the lock washer and keep the position of the pot consistent.
you might get a few more ideas now that you have the pics posted but i'd think a layer of something on the inside will get it back together nice and tight. once you have it all worked out put a small dab of CA on the threads with a shot of kicker to cure it before it seeps under the nut too much.
hope that helps,
bart
