Hi,

has anyone experience in putting a digital camera in a remote control plane or helicopter?
examples of how to fix it, release the shutter, etc would be welcome

Hi Ikinaa,

Yes we do put digicams in RC airplanes and helicopters. Small plastic camera in small electric planes, or bigger cameras in larger internal combustion engine powered planes.

You can look at:

and

for a couple of places to find out about it.

Some of my aerial photos are at:

taken with a 1.3mp $30 camera.
