I’m only a few weeks into piloting my ~~toy helicopter~~ aerial imagery setup. I’ve been working on building up my flying skills and also working on my photo/video setup so that I can capture higher quality images and video. There are still some big pieces to the puzzle like a new camera and some stabilization gear. Below is a photo video from last night’s flight around sunset at one of my home courses, River Oaks.

River Oaks GC, Sandy, Utah – Hole 3 (right) and Hole 5 (left)

One item I’ve ordered and am anxiously waiting for is a camera “gimbal” which will keep the camera level, even when the copter is pitching any direction. This will make the flyover videos of the golf holes much more stable and pleasurable to watch.

Nice job. Now to figure out where to get mini air to surface missiles to take care of slow play!
