Unfortuneately you have to also purchase the Axi prop adapter.

I'll shrink a few more and try to post them later tonight.

edit: i'm not sure why my pics look so blurry on this site when i shrink them to 1000 pixels. they look fine in picasa and elsewhere.

I get the same problem Bart, they look awful once uploaded, what compression settings is the website running on?? Nice photos by the way, I like the 1st one best

Let me add to the confusion! On my monitor the first pic is sharp as a tack but the second is fuzzy.

And the same for me on the sharpness issue.............. would like the first property shot from a lower altitude ?

I agree with Sid, the first shot shot at the same altitude as No.2 would be spot on the money.

I intended to do the first picture from lower altitude with my new 10-20 lens but forgot it on my desk when i left the house. this particular house took me three visits to get done because i kept having problems like my video goggles failing, i set the camera to auto instead of Av so I got single shots where i would normally get 20 to 30 of each position, i crashed at the beginning of my last flight, you name it and it was a problem. the fact that i got any useable shots was a miracle and they're already posted to the online listing for the house so i'm relieved it's done. as for the blurry pic, it's a recurring problem. the pics looks fine on my computer after being reduced but they look blurry when posted to the site.
today's job is a solar installation over in Pennsylvania so hopefully that will go better. {reminder: insert smiley with fingers crossed here when you finally get around to uploading new smileys }

Golf Course Shoot

Here is one from my back up rig, the Gaui, 450 frame lifting a GoPro HD on 2 sec. intervals.

Bart, get a fixed focus lens, they are lighter & more crisp. I use a 28mm & 50mm both F1.8 & give great results, set manula shutter at 1/500 or 1/640 & away you go

Ross,
Thanks, that's probably good advice, I'll give it some thought as I'm continuing my evolution as an a-photographer.
I've been tweaking my picture taking strategy over the last few months and my results are way better than they were when I first got the camera. I still make mistakes but some tough study afterwards usually uncovers whatever it was I overlooked and I learn. Having a lot of help here doesn't hurt either!

I suppose I'm luckier than most as my fiancee is also my aerial cam operator, she controls anything to do with the camera I just fly
My trex600ESP carries my Canon 40D up to great height, I try & hover (very hard at height) whilst she controls the cam, well thats the theory behind it, but the main point is communication between us.

Nicely done Jeff, with 3 cams every angle is covered.

Bart... CHECKLIST!!!! Good luck with the solar shoot as you be aware I will be interested in that one!

Nice one Jeff though I got to say that lens distortion made me feel a bit queezy!

You flying line of sight there or FPV?

Was it a gopro or a fisheye lens on the canon?

Is that the GoPro with the lens correction software thingymabob you was on about?

Line of sight with the heli, she's a handful at the best of times, one of the downsides of using a 3D heli for aerial work!

for some reason these are my favorite pics. i put a few in between each group of shots from the individual flights. here's a pic from the flight also. the solar panels aren't your typical flat panel so they show up as a gradient depending on the angle you're shooting from.
